Project description:A putative lipopeptide biosynthetic gene cluster is conserved in many species of Actinobacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium marinum, but the specific function of the encoding proteins has been elusive. Using both in vivo heterologous reconstitution and in vitro biochemical analyses, we have revealed that the five encoding biosynthetic enzymes are capable of synthesizing a new family of isonitrile lipopeptides (INLPs) through a thio-template mechanism. The biosynthesis features the generation of isonitrile from a single precursor Gly promoted by a thioesterase and a non-heme iron(II)-dependent oxidase homologue, and the acylation of both amino groups of Lys by the same isonitrile acyl chain facilitated by a single condensation domain of a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS). In addition, the deletion of INLP biosynthetic genes in M. marinum has decreased the intracellular metal concentration, suggesting the role of this biosynthetic gene cluster in metal transport.
Project description:This study was aimed towards understanding the consequences of mutating rv2887, a putative transcriptional repressor, on gene expression in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Since clones carrying mutations in this gene were found to be highly resistant to a potent mycobactericidal compound, 14, we also tested the impact of short-term exposure to this compound on gene expression in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Project description:Analysis of Metfromin induced changes in the lung cells of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infected mouse at gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was whether metformin has any effect on the host immune response in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infected mice? Results provide important information on the effect of metformin on the inflammatory response and immune activation associated with mycobacterial infection. In conclusion, Metfromin normalizes the chronic inflammation associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
