Project description:Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are of industrial importance in the production of fermented foods, among which sourdough-derived products. Despite their limited metabolic capacity LAB contribute considerably to important characteristics of fermented foods, among which extended shelf-life, microbial safety, improved texture, and enhanced organoleptic properties. Thanks to the considerable amount of LAB genomic information that became available during the last years, transcriptome, and by extension meta-transcriptome studies, are the exquisite research approaches to study whole ecosystem gene expression into more detail. In this study, microarray analyses were performed using RNA sampled during four 10-day spontaneous sourdough fermentations carried out in the laboratory, namely two wheat and two spelt fermentations with daily back-slopping. Hereto, the in-house developed functional gene LAB microarray was used, representing 406 genes that play a key role in sugar and nitrogen metabolism, functional metabolite production, stress responses and health and safety characteristics. The results reveal the activation of different key metabolic pathways, the ability to use different energy sources, and successful acid and oxidative stress responses. Also, a new algorithm was developed to compute a net expression profile for each of the represented genes, thereby exceeding the species level. The labeled aRNA of the sourdough fermentation samples was hybridized using a loop design, i.e. subsequent samples (e.g. 27 h and 51 h, 51 h and 75 h etc.) were hybridized together on the microarray and the loop was closed by hybridizing the last sample with the first.

Project description:Candida auris has emerged as a problematic fungal pathogen associated with high morbidity and mortality. Amphotericin B (AmB) is the most effective antifungal used to treat invasive fungal candidiasis, with resistance rarely observed among clinical isolates. However, C. auris possesses extraordinary resistant profiles against all available antifungal drugs, including AmB. In our pursuit of potential solutions, we conducted a screening of a panel of 727 FDA-approved drugs and identified the proton pump inhibitor lansoprazole (LNP) as a potent enhancer of AmB’s activity against C. auris. LNP also potentiates the antifungal activity of AmB against other medically important species of Candida and Cryptococcus. Our investigations into the mechanism of action unveiled that LNP metabolite(s) interact with a crucial target in the mitochondrial respiratory chain (complex III, known as cytochrome bc1). This interaction increases oxidative stress within fungal cells. Our results demonstrated the critical role of an active respiratory function in the antifungal activity of LNP. Most importantly, LNP restored the efficacy of AmB in an immunocompromised mouse model, resulting in a 1.7-log (~98%) CFU reduction in the burden of C. auris in the kidneys. Our findings strongly advocate for a thorough and comprehensive evaluation of LNP as a cytochrome bc1 inhibitor for combating drug-resistant C. auris infections.

Project description:We analyzed differential gene expression in wt and a snf2 mutant (W8) cells; the pucherimin biosynthesis genes were among the top diff. regulated genes (reduced expression in the mutant). ABSTRACT: Metschnikowia pulcherrima synthesizes the pigment pulcherrimin, from cyclodileucine (cyclo(Leu-Leu)) as a precursor, and exhibits strong antifungal activity against notorious plant pathogenic fungi. This yeast therefore has great potential for biocontrol applications against fungal diseases; particularly in the phyllosphere where this species is frequently found. To elucidate the molecular basis of the antifungal activity of M. pulcherrima, we compared a wildtype strain with a spontaneously occurring, pigmentless, weakly antagonistic mutant derivative. Whole genome sequencing of the wildtype and mutant strains identified a point mutation that creates a premature stop codon in the transcriptional regulator SNF2 in the mutant strain. Complementation of the mutant strain with the wildtype SNF2 gene restored pigmentation and recovered the strong antifungal activity. Mass spectrometry (UPLC HR HESI-MS) proved the presence of the pulcherrimin precursors cyclo(Leu-Leu) and pulcherriminic acid and identified new precursor and degradation products of pulcherriminic acid and/or pulcherrimin. All of these compounds were identified in the wildtype and complemented strain, but were undetectable in the pigmentless snf2 mutant strain. These results thus identify Snf2 as a regulator of antifungal activity and pulcherriminic acid biosynthesis in M. pulcherrima and provide a starting point for deciphering the molecular functions underlying the antagonistic activity of this yeast.

Project description:New antifungal drugs are urgently needed due to the currently limited selection, the emergence of drug resistance, and the toxicity of several commonly used drugs. To identify drug leads, we screened small molecules using a Saccharomyces reporter bioassay in which the yeast heterologously expresses Hik1, a group III hybrid histidine kinase (HHK) from Magnaporthe grisea. Group III HHKs are integral in fungal cell physiology, and highly conserved throughout this kingdom; they are absent in mammals, making them an attractive drug target. Our screen identified compounds 13 and 33, which showed robust activity against numerous fungal genera including Candida, Cryptococcus and molds such as Aspergillus and Rhizopus. Drug-resistant Candida from patients were also highly susceptible to compounds 13 and 33. While the compounds do not act directly on HHKs, microarray analysis showed that compound 13 induced transcripts associated with oxidative stress, and compound 33, transcripts linked with heavy metal stress. Both compounds were highly active against Candida biofilm, in vitro and in vivo, and exerted synergy with fluconazole, which was inactive alone. Thus, we identified potent, broad-spectrum antifungal drug leads from a small molecule screen using a high-throughput, yeast reporter bioassay. Two-color experimental design testing the effects of 2 antifungal compounds (13 and 33) after 0, 20, 40 60 min. In the referred publication, the t=20, 40, 60 data was normalized against the t=0 data
