Project description:In order to study the transcriptome of the pathogen, Ehrlichia ruminantium, specific microoarray was designed and validated using genomic DNA of Gardel and Welgevonden strains. Gardel strain was isolated in Guadeloupe and Welgevonden strain in South Africa. DNA from Ehrlichia ruminantium was extracted from cell culture infected with Gardel passage 40 and Welgevonden passage 11, using QIAmp kit (Qiagen). Ehrlichia ruminantium DNA was labeled using BioPrime array CGH labeling system kit (Invitrogen) and Cy3-dCTP (Amersham). Arrays were incubated at 60°C for 20 hours in hybridization chamber. After hybridization, arrays were washed according to the Agilent protocol. Arrays were scanned and the signal intensity of all spots were quantified by Genepix pro 6.0 (Molecular Device Corporation) and data were saved for further analysis.

Project description:The Rickettsiales Ehrlichia ruminantium (ER), the causal agent of the fatal tick-borne disease Heartwater, induces severe damage to the vascular endothelium in ruminants. Nevertheless, E. ruminantium-induced pathobiology remains largely unknown. Our work paves the way for understanding this phenomenon by using quantitative proteomic analyses (2D-DIGE-MS/MS, 1DE-nanoLC-MS/MS and biotin-nanoUPLC-MS/MS) of host bovine aorta endothelial cells (BAE) during the in vitro bacterium intracellular replication cycle. We detect 265 bacterial proteins (including virulence factors), at all time-points of the E. ruminantium replication cycle, highlighting a dynamic bacterium–host interaction. We show that E. ruminantium infection modulates the expression of 433 host proteins: 98 being over-expressed, 161 under-expressed, 140 detected only in infected BAE cells and 34 exclusively detected in non-infected cells. Cystoscape integrated data analysis shows that these proteins lead to major changes in host cell immune responses, host cell metabolism and vesicle trafficking, with a clear involvement of inflammation-related proteins in this process. Our findings led to the first model of E. ruminantium infection in host cells in vitro, and we highlight potential biomarkers of E. ruminantium infection in endothelial cells (such as ROCK1, TMEM16K, Albumin and PTPN1), which may be important to further combat Heartwater, namely by developing non-antibiotic-based strategies.

Project description:Unraveling which proteins and PTMs affect bacterial pathogenesis and physiology in diverse environments is a tough challenge. Herein, we used mass spectrometry-based assays to study protein phosphorylation and glycosylation in Ehrlichia ruminantium Gardel virulent (ERGvir) and attenuated (ERGatt) variants and, how they can modulate Ehrlichia biological processes. The characterization of the S/T/Y phosphoproteome revealed that both strains share the same set of phosphoproteins (n=58), 36% being overexpressed in ERGvir. The percentage of tyrosine phosphorylation is high (23%) and 66% of the identified peptides are multi-phosphorylated. Glycoproteomics revealed a high percentage of glycoproteins (67% in ERGvir) with a subset of glycoproteins being specific to ERGvir (n=64/371) and ERGatt (n=36/343). These glycoproteins are involved in key biological processes such as protein, amino-acid and purine biosynthesis, translation, virulence, DNA repair and replication. Label-free quantitative analysis revealed over-expression in 31 proteins in ERGvir and 8 in ERGatt. While further PNGase digestion confidently localized 2 and 5 N-glycoproteins in ERGvir and ERGatt, respectively, western blotting suggests that many glycoproteins are O-GlcNAcylated. Twenty three-proteins were detected in both the phospho- and glycoproteome, for the two variants. This work represents the first comprehensive assessment of PTMs on Ehrlichia biology, rising interesting questions regarding ER-host interactions. Phosphoproteome characterization demonstrates an increased versatility of ER phosphoproteins to participate in different mechanisms. The high number of glycoproteins and the lack of glycosyltransferases-coding genes highlight ER dependence on the host and/or vector cellular machinery for its own protein glycosylation. Moreover, these glycoproteins could be crucial to interact and respond to changes in ER environment. PTMs crosstalk between of O-GlcNAcylation and phosphorylation could be used as a major cellular signaling mechanism in ER. As little is known about the Ehrlichia proteins/proteome and its signaling biology, the results presented herein provide a useful resource for further hypothesis-driven exploration of Ehrlichia protein regulation by phosphorylation and glycosylation events.

Project description:The obligate intracellular bacterium, Ehrlichia ruminantium (ER) is the causal agent of Heartwater, a fatal disease in ruminants. It is transmitted by ticks of the genus Amblyomma. Here, we report the genomic comparative and the global transcriptional profile of 4 strains of ER, Gardel and Senegal, two distant virulent strains with their corresponding attenuated strains. Our results showed a higher metabolic activity in attenuated strains compared to virulent strains, suggesting a better adaptation in vitro of attenuated strains to the host cells. There was a strong modification of membrane protein encoding genes expression for the 4 strains. A major over-expression of map1-related genes was observed for virulent strains, whereas attenuated strains over-expressed genes encoding for hypothetical membrane proteins. This result suggests that in vivo, MAP-1 related proteins could induce non-protective immune responses for virulent strains. For the attenuated strains, the lack of expression of map1-related genes and over-expression of other membrane proteins encoding genes could be important in induction of efficient immune responses.The diminution of expression of many genes in attenuated Senegal was caused by severe mutation. One of them, the gene recO is involved in DNA repair and its mutation could explain the higher proportion of mutated genes in attenuated Senegal, inducing the faster attenuation of Senegal compared to Gardel.

Project description:Medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) have been shown to inhibit methanogenesis, disrupt the cell envelope, and decrease survival of Methanobrevibacter ruminantium M1 in a dose-, time-, and protonation level dependent way. However, the exact mechanisms behind these observations are still unknown. Although the biochemistry of the metabolic processes of M. ruminantium has been well studied and its genome sequence is now available, little is known about the overall transcriptome regulation of M. ruminantium in response to inhibitors like MCFA. In the present study, we used RNA Sequencing to evaluate the effects of lauric acid (C12) on M. ruminantium. Pure M. ruminantium cell cultures in the mid-exponential growth phase were exposed to C12 in concentrations of 0.4 mg/mL, dissolved in DMSO for 1 h, and the transcriptomic changes compared to DMSO-only treated control samples (final DMSO concentration 0.2 %), were investigated. Gene expression changes upon exposure to C12 were not dramatic in magnitude (log2 fold change mostly below +/- 3) and in gene number (214 genes). However, the observed expression changes affected mostly genes which encoded cell-surface associated proteins (adhesion-like proteins, membrane-associated transporters and hydrogenases), or proteins, which were involved in detoxification or DNA repair processes. The transcriptional response of M. ruminantium M1 to C12 did not specifically inhibit methanogenesis. Instead, the data indicated a non-specific antimicrobial action by lauric acid, which involves destruction of the cell membrane and interferences with cellular energetics in M. ruminantium. To date, there has been no systematic characterization of a ruminal methanogen transcriptome by deep sequencing. Our results give first hints on the molecular inhibitory mechanism of C12 on M. ruminantium. RNA profiles of M. ruminantium treated in vitro (lauric acid disolved in DMSO), non-treated=controls (DMSO supplementation) and non-treated=blanks (no supplementation) were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicates, by using Illumina HiSeq2500
