Project description:PA-X is a small accessory protein that modulates the virulence of various influenza A virus both in mammals and birds. However, the specific role of PA-X in the pathogenesis of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) H7N9 subtype in mammals and avian species is largely unknown. By functional analysis, we want to investigate critical amino acids that contribute to the host shutoff ability of the PA-X protein of the H7N9 virus in 293T cells

Project description:Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is a central nutrient and signal molecule for bacteria. Pi limitation was shown to increase the virulence of a number of phylogenetically diverse pathogenic bacteria with different in lifestyles. Hypophosphatemia enhances the risk of death in patients due to general bacteremia and was observed after the surgical injury in humans and animals. Phosphate therapy, or the reduction of bacterial virulence by the administration of Pi or phosphate-containing compounds, is a promising anti-infective therapy approach that will not cause cytotoxicity nor the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains. The proof of concept of phosphate therapy has been obtained using primarily Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) as a model. However, a detailed understanding of Pi-induced changes at protein levels is missing. Using pyocyanin production as proxy, we show that the Pi-mediated induction of virulence is a highly cooperative process that occurs between 0.2 to 0.6 mM Pi. We present a proteomics study of PA grown in minimal medium supplemented with either 0.2 or 1 mM Pi and rich medium. About half of the predicted PA proteins could be quantified. Among the 1,471 dysregulated proteins comparing growth in 0.2 mM to 1 mM Pi, 1100 were depleted under Pi-deficient conditions. Most of these proteins are involved in general and energy metabolism, different biosynthetic and catabolic routes, or transport. Pi depletion caused accumulation of proteins that belong to all major families of virulence factor categories, including pyocyanin synthesis, secretion systems, quorum sensing, chemosensory signaling and the secretion of proteases, phospholipases and phosphatases.

The frameshift product, PA-Z, comprises the endonuclease domain of viral PA protein with C-terminal demain encoded by the X-ORF and functions to repress cellular gene expression. PA-X also modulates IAV virulence in a mouse infection model. The effect of PA-X deltions were examined using 2 separate mutant influenza viruses (1918-FS/1918-PCT1) and the results compared to wild-type 1918 influenza virus. Balb/c mice were infected and samples harvested at days 3, 5 and 8 days. Four animals/condition were used. Gene expression levels from infected animals were compared to mock animals.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is an opportunistic pathogen frequently isolated from cutaneous chronic wounds. How PA, in the presence of oxidative stress (OS), colonizes chronic wounds and forms a biofilm is still unknown. The purpose of this study is to investigate the changes in gene expression seen when PA is challenged with the high levels of OS present in chronic wounds. We used a biofilm-forming PA strain isolated from the chronic wounds of our murine model (RPA) and performed a qPCR to obtain gene expression patterns as RPA developed a biofilm in vitro in the presence of high levels of OS, and then compared the findings in vivo, in our mouse model of chronic wounds. We found that the planktonic bacteria under OS conditions overex-pressed quorum sensing genes that are important for the bacteria to communicate with each other, antioxidant stress genes important to reduce OS in the microenvironment for survival, biofilm formation genes and virulence genes. Additionally, we performed RNAseq in vivo and identified the activation of novel genes/pathways of the Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) involved in RPA pathogenicity. In conclusion, RPA appears to survive the high OS microenvironment in chronic wounds and colonizes these wounds by turning on virulence, biofilm-forming and survival genes. These findings reveal pathways that may be promising targets for new therapies aimed at dis-rupting PA-containing biofilms immediately after debridement to facilitate the treatment of chronic human wounds.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) is one of the main causative agents of nosocomial infections and the spread of multidrug-resistant strains is rising. The outer membrane composition of Pa restricts antibiotic entry and determines virulence. For efficient outer membrane protein biogenesis, the BAM complex and chaperones like Skp and SurA are crucial. Deletion mutants of bamB, bamC and the skp homolog hlpA as well as a conditional mutant of surA were investigated. The most profound effects were associated with a lack of SurA, characterized by increased membrane permeability, enhanced sensitivity to antibiotic treatment and attenuation of virulence in a Galleria mellonella infection model. Strikingly, the conditional deletion of surA in a multidrug-resistant bloodstream isolate re-sensitized the strain to antibiotic treatment. Mass spectrometry revealed striking alterations in the outer membrane composition. Thus, SurA of Pa is important for the insertion of many porins, type V secretion systems, TonB-dependent receptors, proteins involved in LPS transport and BAM complex components. Therefore, SurA of Pa serves as a promising target for developing a drug that shows antiinfective activity and sensitizes multidrug-resistant strains to antibiotics.

Project description:Background. The pathogenesis of influenza A virus subtype H5N1 (hearafter, "H5N1") infection in humans is not completely understood, although hypercytokinemia is thought to play a role. We previously reported that most H5N1 viruses induce high cytokine responses in human macrophages, whereas some H5N1 viruses induce only a low level of cytokine production similar to that induced by seasonal viruses. Methods. To identify the viral molecular determinants for cytokine induction of H5N1 viruses in human macrophages, we generated a series of reassortant viruses between the high cytokine inducer A/Vietnam/UT3028II/03 clone 2 (VN3028IIcl2) and the low inducer A/Indonesia/UT3006/05 (IDN3006), and evaluated cytokine expression in human macrophages. Results. Viruses possessing the acidic polymerase (PA) gene of VN3028IIcl2 exhibited high levels of hypercytokinemia-related cytokine expression in human macrophages, compared with IDN3006, but showed no substantial differences in viral growth in these cells. Further, the PA gene of VN3028IIcl2 conferred enhanced virulence in mice. Conclusions. These results demonstrate that the PA gene of VN3028IIcl2 affects cytokine production in human macrophages and virulence in mice. These findings provide new insights into the cytokine-mediated pathogenesis of H5N1 infection in humans.

Project description:Influenza A virus is mainly transmitted through the respiratory route and can cause severe illness in humans. Proteins encoded by influenza A virus can interact with cellular factors and dysregulate host biological processes to facilitate viral replication and pathogenicity. The influenza viral PA protein is not only a subunit of influenza viral polymerase but also a virulence factor involved in pathogenicity during infection. To explore the role of the influenza virus PA protein in regulating host biological processes, we conducted immunoprecipitation and LC-MS/MS to globally identify cellular factors that interact with the PA proteins of the influenza A H1N1, 2009 pandemic H1N1, H3N2, and H7N9 viruses. The results demonstrated that proteins located in the mitochondrion, proteasome, and nucleus are associated with the PA protein. We further discovered that the PA protein is located in mitochondria by immunofluorescence and mitochondrial fractionation and that overexpression of the PA protein reduces mitochondrial respiration. In addition, our results revealed the interaction between PA and the mitochondrial matrix protein PYCR2 and the antiviral role of PYCR2 during influenza A virus replication. Moreover, we found that the PA protein could also trigger autophagy and disrupt mitochondrial homeostasis. Overall, our research revealed the impacts of the influenza A virus PA protein on mitochondrial function and autophagy.

Project description:The emergence of new highly pathogenic and drug-resistant influenza strains urges the development of novel therapeutics for influenza A virus (IAV). Here, we report the discovery of an anti-IAV microbial metabolite called APL-16-5 that was originally isolated from the plant endophytic fungus Aspergillus sp. CPCC 400735. APL-16-5 binds to both the E3 ligase TRIM25 and IAV polymerase subunit PA, leading to TRIM25 ubiquitination of PA and subsequent degradation of PA in the proteasome. This mode of action conforms to that of a proteolysis targeting chimera which employs the cellular ubiquitin-proteasome machinery to chemically induce the degradation of target proteins. Importantly, APL-16-5 potently inhibits IAV and protects mice from lethal IAV infection. Therefore, we have identified a natural microbial metabolite with potent in vivo anti-IAV activity and the potential of becoming a new IAV therapeutic. The antiviral mechanism of APL-16-5 opens the possibility of improving its anti-IAV potency and specificity by adjusting its affinity for TRIM25 and viral PA protein through medicinal chemistry.
