Project description:Helicobacter (H.) pylori is an important risk factor for gastric malignancies worldwide. Its outer membrane proteome takes an important role in colonization of the human gastric mucosa. However, in zoonotic non-H. pylori helicobacters (NHPHs) also associated with human gastric disease, the composition of the outer membrane (OM) proteome and its relative contribution to disease remain largely unknown. By means of a comprehensive survey of the diversity and distribution of predicted outer membrane proteins (OMPs) identified in all known gastric Helicobacter species with fully annotated genome sequences, we found genus- and species-specific families known or thought to be implicated in virulence. Hop adhesins, part of the Helicobacter-specific family 13 (Hop, Hor and Hom) were restricted to the gastric species H. pylori, H. cetorum and H. acinonychis. Hof proteins (family 33) were putative adhesins with predicted Occ- or MOMP-family like 18-stranded β-barrels. They were found to be widespread amongst all gastric Helicobacter species only sporadically detected in enterohepatic Helicobacter species. These latter are other members within the genus Helicobacter, although ecologically and genetically distinct. LpxR, a lipopolysaccharide remodeling factor, was also detected in all gastric Helicobacter species but lacking as well from the enterohepatic species H. cinaedi, H. equorum and H. hepaticus. In conclusion, our systemic survey of Helicobacter OMPs points to species and infection-site specific members that are interesting candidates for future virulence and colonization studies.

Project description:Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that colonizes the human stomach, like all Gram-negative bacteria spontaneously shed outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). OMVs, which act as a delivery system for bacterial components, are involved in bacterial-host interactions and thus contribute to pathogenesis. In this study, to understand the gene expression changes that human gastric epithelial cells might undergo when exposed to H. pylori-OMVs, we profiled the transcriptomic changes of the MKN74 gastric cell line induced by OMVs compared to control cells and H. pylori-infected cells, using the Ion AmpliSeq™ Transcriptome Human Gene Expression Panel. The top enriched pathways in the OMVs challenge condition included amino acid-related metabolic pathways, mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling, autophagy, and ferroptosis. The cell cycle, DNA replication, and repair pathways were the top diminished pathways. The transcriptomic changes induced by OMVs were largely consistent with those of the bacteria, although often at low expression levels, suggesting that their effects will mostly reinforce those of the bacterium itself. Our data provide a valuable portrayal of the transcriptomic remodeling of gastric cells by H. pylori-OMVs, which can be further dissected regarding the underlying molecular mediators and explored to understand the pathobiology of the full-spectrum of H. pylori-mediated diseases.

Project description:The rise of antimicrobial resistant pathogens calls for new antibacterial treatments, but potent new compounds are scarce. Development of new antibiotics is difficult, especially against Gram-negative bacteria, as here uptake is strongly hindered by the additional outer membrane. Most antimicrobial agents against Gram-negatives use the porin mediated pathway to cross the outer membrane, which limits the choice of an antibiotic, as it has to fit by size, charge and hydrophilicity. In E. coli, the major porins OmpF and OmpC are associated with antibiotic translocation and therefore also with unspecific antibiotic cross-resistance. In this regard, alternative uptake routes are of interest. We were interested in the uptake opportunities of the small, natural product antibiotic negamycin and thereby found new uptake pathways across the outer membrane of E. coli. Besides OmpF and OmpC, we investigated the role of the minor porins OmpN and ChiP in negamycin translocation. We detected an effect of OmpN and ChiP on negamycin susceptibility and confirmed passage by electrophysiological assays. The structure of OmpN was resolved in order to analyze the negamycin translocation mechanism by computational simulations. As abundancy of these minor porins was low in E. coli, their transcript levels were analyzed by RNA-Seq. Increased transcripts levels of ompN and chiP were observed upon negamycin treatment, hinting at a role in antibiotic uptake. These new, additional uptake pathways across the outer membrane of E. coli highlight the antibiotic potential of negamycin, especially as resistance development is low due to availability of multiple uptake routes at both the outer and inner membranes

Project description:Members of the spotted fever group rickettsia express four large, surface-exposed autotransporters, at least one of which is a known virulence determinant. Autotransporter translocation to the bacterial outer surface, also known as type V secretion, involves formation of a b-barrel autotransporter domain in the periplasm that inserts into the outer membrane to form a pore through which the N-terminal passenger domain is passed and exposed on the outer surface. Two major surface antigens of Rickettsia rickettsii, are known to be exposed and the passenger domain cleaved from the autotransporter domain. A highly passaged strain of R. rickettsii, Iowa, fails to cleave these autotransporters and is avirulent. We have identified a putative peptidase, truncated in the Iowa strain, that when reconstituted into Iowa restores appropriate processing of the autotransporters as well as restoring a modest degree of virulence.

Project description:Asthma is the most common chronic respiratory disease. Asthma that cannot be well controlled by steroid treatment is called steroid-resistant asthma. Steroid-resistant asthma accounts for only 5% of all asthma cases, but it accounts for 80% of asthma healthcare costs. Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi), as a Gram-negative bacterium, can release outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) and transfer biomolecules to host cells and the external environment by carrying lipopolysaccharides, proteins, peptidoglycans, outer membrane proteins, cell wall components, proteins, nucleic acids, ion metabolites, and signaling molecules. Thus, it plays a role in obtaining nutrition, stress, toxin delivery, adhesion, host immune surveillance evasion, and host immune response regulation. It becomes an essential way in bacterial pathogenesis. To further clarify whether NTHi OMVs could be inhaled to induce steroid-resistant asthma, we isolated and purified NTHi OMVs. In vivo experiments showed that NTHi OMVs could be inhaled and enter airway epithelial cells. Cosensitization with OVA induces steroid-resistant asthma in mice. Furthermore, through high-throughput sequencing, we found that the NTHi OMVs and OVA co-sensitized mice had significantly enriched inflammatory and immune-related signaling pathways, and the transcription and secretion of IL-1β were increased was the potential cause of SRA.

Project description:Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) produced by Gram-negative bacteria provide an interesting research material for defining cell-envelope proteins without experimental cell disruption. OMVs are also promising immunogenic platforms and may play important roles in bacterial survival and pathogenesis. We used in-solution trypsin digestion coupled to mass spectrometry to identify 90 proteins present in OMVs of Vibrio cholerae when grown under conditions that activate the TCP pilus virulence regulatory protein (ToxT) virulence regulon. The ToxT expression profile and potential contribution to virulence of these proteins were assessed using ToxT and in vivo RNA-seq, Tn-seq, and cholera stool proteomic and other genome-wide data sets. Thirteen OMV-associated proteins appear to be essential for cell growth, and therefore may represent antibacterial drug targets. Another 12 nonessential OMV proteins, including DegP protease, were required for intestinal colonization in rabbits. Comparative proteomics of a degP mutant revealed the importance of DegP in the incorporation of nine proteins into OMVs, including ones involved in biofilm matrix formation and various substrates of the type II secretion system. Taken together, these results suggest that DegP plays an important role in determining the content of OMVs and also affects phenotypes such as intestinal colonization, proper function of the type II secretion system, and formation of biofilm matrix.

Project description:Giardia lamblia's outer mitosomal membrane protein repertoire was investigated using a series of co-immunoprecipitations which led to the discovery of novel associated components. This was assembled into a Giardia mitosomal protein interactome which expands beyond the organelle, reaching out to other subcellular compartments.
