The marine diterpenes pseudopteroxazole (Ptx) and pseudopterosin G (PsG) target the integrity of the gram-positive cell wall

ABSTRACT: Pseudopteroxazole (Ptx) and the pseudopterosins are marine natural products with promising antibacterial potential. While Ptx has attracted interest for its anti-mycobacterial activity, pseudopterosins are active against several clinically relevant pathogens. Both compound classes exhibit low cytotoxicity and accessibility to targeted synthesis, yet their antibacterial mechanisms remain elusive. In this study, we investigated the modes of action of Ptx and pseudopterosin G (PsG) in Bacillus subtilis employing an unbiased approach that combines gel-based proteomics with a mathematical similarity analysis of response profiles. Proteomic responses to sublethal concentrations of Ptx and PsG were compared to a library of antibiotic stress response profiles revealing that both induce a stress response characteristic for agents targeting the bacterial cell envelope by interfering with membrane-bound steps of cell wall biosynthesis. Microscopy-based assays confirmed that both compounds compromise the integrity of the bacterial cell wall without disrupting the membrane potential.

Physiology of trans-translation deficiency in Bacillus subtilis – a comparative proteomics study

Project description:trans-Translation is the most effective ribosome rescue system known in bacteria. While it is essential in some bacteria, Bacillus subtilis possesses two additional alternative ribosome rescue mechanisms that require the proteins BrfA or RqcH. To investigate the physiology of trans-translation deficiency in the model organism B. subtilis, we compared the proteomes of B. subtilis 168 and a ΔssrA mutant in mid-log phase using gel-free label-free quantitative proteomics.

Ionophore 4-Br-A23187 causes copper stress in B. subtilis

Project description:Ionophores are small molecules or peptides that transport metal ions across biological membranes. Their transport capabilities are typically characterized in vitro using vesicles and single ion species. It is difficult to infer from these data which effects ionophores have on living cells in a complex environment (e.g. culture medium), since net transport is influenced e.g. by ion composition, concentration gradients, pH gradient, and active transport. To gain insights into the antibacterial mechanism of the semi-synthetic polyether ionophore 4-Br-A23187, we investigated its effects on the gram-positive model organism Bacillus subtilis. Changes in intracellular ion concentrations were determined using ionomics and the physiological impact was assessed by proteomics. 4-Br-A23187 treatment resulted in an increase in intracellular copper levels, an effect that was dependent on the copper concentration of the medium. The antibiotic effect of 4-Br-A23187 is further aggravated by a decrease in intracellular manganese and magnesium. Effects of copper hyperaccumulation, mirrored by the proteomic response, included oxidative stress, disturbance of proteostasis, metal, and sulfur homeostasis. Especially solvent-exposed iron-sulfur clusters like that of aconitase of the citric acid cycle are readily destabilized by copper. Using calcein fluorescence quenching as a readout, we confirmed in vitro that 4-Br-A23187 acts as copper ionophore.

Not just an alternative nitrogenase: The Fe-nitrogenase system belongs to the NifA regulon in Rhodobacter capsulatus

Project description:The diazotrophic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus synthesizes a molybdenum nitrogenase and an alternative iron-only nitrogenase, enabling growth with molecular dinitrogen as sole nitrogen source. Regulation of nitrogen fixation was analyzed by proteome profiling of wild-type and mutant strains lacking the transcriptional regulators NifA, AnfA, and MopAB.

Project description:The diazotrophic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus is able to synthesize two nitrogenases, a molybdenum-dependent and an alternative Mo-free iron-only nitrogenase, enabling growth with molecular dinitrogen (N2) as sole nitrogen source. The Mo response of the wild type and a mutant lacking the high-affinity molybdate transporter, ModABC, were analyzed by proteome profiling.

Proteome profiling of Bacillus subtilis stressed with the antibiotics tetracycline and chelocardin

Project description:Chelocardin is an atypical tetracycline and its mechanism of action is discussed controversially in literature. Therefore, we analyzed the bacterial response of Bacillus subtilis to chelocardin and as a control for classical tetracyclines to tetracycline by proteomic profiling. The induced marker proteins mirror the damage in the cell due the antibiotic stress. Proteomic profiling was carried out by 2D-PAGE and spot identification by nUPLC-ESI-MS/MS. The proteomic profile of chelocardin demonstrates a dual mechanism of action with protein biosynthesis inhibition and membrane damage.

Interspecies comparison of the bacterial response to allicin reveals species-specific defense strategies

Project description:Allicin, a volatile diallylthiosulfinate from garlic (Allium sativum), exhibits broad-spectrum activity against microbial pathogens. It disrupts thiol and redox homeostasis, proteostasis, and cell membrane integrity leading to inactivation of even multidrug resistant strains. Since medicine demands cost-efficient antimicrobials with so far unexploited mechanisms, allicin with its multifaceted mode of action is a promising lead structure for future therapeutics. However, while progress is being made in fully unraveling its mode of action, little is known on bacterial adaptation strategies to cope with allicin-like stress. Some isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli, withstand exposure to higher allicin concentrations than other bacteria due to as yet unknown cellular mechanisms. To elucidate resistance and sensitivity-conferring cellular processes we compared the acute proteomic responses of the resistant species P. aeruginosa and sensitive species Bacillus subtilis to the published proteomic response of E. coli to allicin treatment. The cellular defense strategies shared functional features: proteins involved in protein (re)folding and repair, ROS and RSS detoxification, and cell envelope modification were upregulated. In both Gram-negative species, protein synthesis of up to 64% of the proteins synthesized in untreated cells was down-regulated while the sensitive, Gram-positive B. subtilis responded by upregulation of multiple regulons. A comparison of the B. subtilis proteomic response to a library of proteomic responses to antibiotic treatment, revealed 30 proteins specifically upregulated by allicin. Other upregulated proteins indicating oxidative stress were shared with nitrofurantoin and diamide. Microscopy-based assays further indicate that in B. subtilis cell wall integrity was impaired.

Applicability of chromatographic co-elution for antibiotic research

Project description:Identification of the molecular target is crucial for evaluating novel antibiotics. To support target identification, a label-free method based on chromatographic co-elution (TICC) has been developed previously. In TICC, an alteration in the elution profile of the target-bound drug compared to free drug in ion exchange chromatography is used to identify potential target proteins from elution fractions. We investigated the applicability of TICC for antibiotic research by evaluating which proteins, i.e. putative targets, can be monitored in Bacillus subtilis. Coelution of components of known protein complexes was used as a read-out for nativity of the chromatography. We identified 920 proteins covering 66% of known essential proteins, including most clinically exploited target proteins. Using correlation profiling, protein complex integrity was demonstrated for known cytosolic complexes like RNA polymerase and the cytosolic components of ATP synthase. Raw data and ProteinLynxGlobalServer (PLGS) output files for protein identification in a fractionated cytosolic protein extracts are uploaded to support main text and supplementary file data of a submitted manuscript entitled “Combining chromatographic co-elution and proteomic profiling for antibiotic target identification”.

Expression data from DCs stimulated with LPS vs DCs stimulated with PTX

Project description:DCs treated with PTX (PTX-DC) is able to induce EAE like PTX as adjuvant whereas neither LPS nor DCs treated with LPS (LPS-DC) fails to induce EAE. We want to identify genes that are responsible for EAE induction in DCs and genes that are able to toloerize EAE in DCs through the microarray. Bone marrow derived dendritic cells are either unstimulated or stimulated with LPS and PTX for 24h respectively. Cells are harveseted for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
