Project description:Mycobacterium leprae whole-genome sequencing
| PRJNA317287 | ENA
Project description:Mycobacterium leprae, the causative agent of leprosy, an obligate intracellular pathogen has the ability to survive and grow for extended periods within phagocytes and Schwann cells. M. leprae genome analysis predicts a highly degraded genome resulting in a significant loss of its genomic coding capacity. Detailed dynamics of carbon sources for energy utilization and growth of M. leprae is unclear. This study, therefore, presents M. leprae transcriptome during in vivo growth and ex vivo stationary phases, and explores metabolic pathways relevant to its growth from global gene expression data. This report provides a glimpse of some of M. leprae nutritional requirements for growth, which most likely, needs to be supplemented, in an axenic growth media.

Project description:BACKGROUND: This study was conducted to analyse M. leprae gene expression profiles in biopsy of leprosy patient and in environmental soil samples. Investigation was carried out to find out the expression profile for the minimal gene set necessary for growth of environmental M. leprae and its genes potentially require for infection and pathogenesis of leprosy. METHOD: RNA was extracted from human biopsy and environmental soil samples and total RNA obtained by subtractive hybridization of rRNA, was reverse transcribed and amplified using random primers. The whole genome was tiled at 10bp to obtain probes having 60 mer oligonucleotides in sense orientation. 179963 probes were designed in both sense and antisense orientation. Blast was performed against the mRNA sequence databases to check the specificity of the probes. Finally, 359926 probes were designed and 56579 specific probes were replicated to fill the remaining spots. RESULTS: Up regulation of several functional genes of M. leprae genome were observed from soil samples responsible for metabolism of Carbon compounds [9], Amino acids and amines [4] , Fatty acids synthesis [21], Lipid Biosynthesis [33], Phosphorous compounds [2]. Up regulation of genes were observed from soil samples in energy metabolism function such as Glycolysis [6], Pyruvate dehydrogenase [1], TCA cycle [12], Glyoxylate bypass [12]. In up regulation of respiration function [11] genes were observed and some of genes responsible for miscellaneous oxidoreductases and oxygenases [22] function, ATP-proton motive force [4] were also observed. Up regulation of genes for cell envelope function [65], conserved membrane proteins [107], cell processes [62], central intermediary metabolism [79], polyamine synthesis[38], biosynthesis of cofactors, prosthetic groups and carriers [36], broad regulatory functions [35], macromolecule metabolism[103], degradation of macromolecules [25], miscellaneous transferases [36], conserved hypothetical [204] and unknowns [101] were observed. Significant up regulation of Virulence genes [9], PE and PPE families [3] were also observed from soil samples. CONCLUSION: Transcriptome analysis indicated that up regulation of essential genes of M. leprae transcripts in environmental samples as compared to M. leprae from human biopsy samples which strongly suggested that several M. leprae genes are expressed more in environment for its survival and may act as source of infection.

Project description:Mineralised dental plaque (calculus) has proven to be an excellent source of ancient biomolecules. In this study we present a Mycobacterium leprae genome (6.6-fold), the causative agent of leprosy, recovered via shotgun sequencing of 16th century human dental calculus from an individual from Trondheim, Norway. Moreover, ancient mycobacterial peptides were retrieved via mass spectrometry-based proteomics, further validating the presence of the pathogen. M. leprae can readily be detected in the oral cavity and associated mucosal membranes, which likely contributed to it being incorporated into this individual’s dental calculus. This individual showed some possible, but not definitive, evidence of skeletal lesions associated with early stage leprosy. This study is the first known example of successful multi-omics retrieval of M. leprae from archaeological dental calculus. Furthermore, we offer new insights into dental calculus as an alternative sample source to bones or teeth for detecting and molecularly characterizing M. leprae in individuals from the archaeological record.
