Project description:Introduction. Burkholderia thailandensis is a clinically rare opportunistic pathogen in the genus Burkholderia, and the genomic features and virulence characteristics of B. thailandensis strains that cause human infection remain unclear.Gap Statement. B. thailandensis strains with different virulence induce different host innate immune responses in vitro.Aim. This work aimed to understand the sequence diversity, phylogenetic relationship, and virulence of B. thailandensis BPM causing human infection.Methodology. The comparative molecular and genomic analyses, and mouse infection studies were applied to analyse the virulence and genomic features of B. thailandensis BPM originating from China.Results. The whole genome sequence analysis showed that the genomes of BPM and other avirulent B. thailandensis strains were broadly similar, comprising two highly syntenic chromosomes with comparable numbers of coding regions (CDs), protein family distributions, and horizontally acquired genomic islands. By examining species-specific genomic regions, we obtained molecular explanations for previously known differences in virulence and discovered the potential specific virulence-associated genes of BPM, which likely work together to confer the virulence of BPM. Significantly reduced LD50 and survival rates during mouse infection experiments were found in BPM compared to the avirulent B. thailandensis E264 (BtE264).Conclusion. Taken together, the results of this study provide basic information on the genomic features and virulence characteristics of the virulent B. thailandensis strain BPM, which is helpful for understanding its evolution as it relates to pathogenesis and environmental adaptability.

Project description:Burkholderia thailandensis is a soil-dwelling bacterium that shares many metabolic pathways with the ecologically similar, but evolutionarily distant, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Among the diverse nutrients it can utilize is choline, which can be converted into the osmoprotectant glycine betaine and further catabolized as a source of carbon and nitrogen, similar to P. aeruginosa. Orthologs of genes in the choline catabolic pathway in these two bacteria showed distinct differences in gene arrangement as well as an additional orthologous transcriptional regulator in B. thailandensis. In this study, we showed that multiple glutamine amidotransferase1 (GATase1)-containing AraC-family transcription regulators (GATRs) are involved in regulation of the B. thailandensis choline catabolic pathway (gbdR1, gbdR2, souR). Using genetic analyses and sequencing the transcriptome in the presence and absence of choline, we identified the likely regulons of gbdR1 (BTH_II1869) and gbdR2 (BTH_II0968). We also identified a functional ortholog for P. aeruginosa souR, a GATR that regulates the metabolism of sarcosine to glycine. GbdR1 is absolutely required for expression of the choline catabolic locus, similar to P. aeruginosa GbdR, while GbdR2 is important to increase expression of the catabolic locus. Additionally, the B. thailandensis SouR ortholog (BTH_II0994) is required for catabolism of choline and its metabolites as carbon sources, whereas in P. aeruginosa, SouR function can by bypassed by GbdR. The strategy employed by B. thailandensis represents a distinct regulatory solution to control choline catabolism and thus provides both an evolutionary counterpoint and an experimental system to compare the acquisition and regulation of this pathway during environmental growth and infection.

Project description:Innate immunity responds to pathogens by producing alarm signals and activating pathways that make host cells inhospitable for pathogen replication. The intracellular bacterium Burkholderia thailandensis invades the cytosol, hijacks host actin, and induces cell fusion to spread to adjacent cells, forming multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs) which promotes bacterial replication. We show that type I interferon (IFN) restricts macrophage MNGC formation during B. thailandensis infection. Guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs) expressed downstream of type I IFN were required to restrict MNGC formation through inhibition of Arp2/3-dependent actin motility during infection. GTPase activity and the CAAX prenylation domain were required for GBP2 recruitment to B. thailandensis, which restricted bacterial actin polymerization required for MNGC formation. Consistent with in vitro macrophages, Gbp2-/- Gbp5-/-, GbpChr3-KO mice were more susceptible to intranasal infection with B. thailandensis than wildtype mice. Our findings reveal that IFN and GBPs play a critical role in restricting cell-cell fusion during infection
