Project description:Alcohol oxidases are ecologically important enzymes which facilitate a number of plant-fungal interactions. Within Ascomycota they are primarily associated with methylotrophy, as a peroxisomal alcohol oxidase (AOX) catalyzing the conversion of methanol to formaldehyde in methylotrophic yeast. In this study we demonstrate that AOX orthologs are phylogenetically conserved proteins which are common in the genomes of non-methylotrophic, plant-associating fungi. Additionally, AOX orthologs are highly expressed during infection in a range of diverse pathosystems. To study the role of AOX in plant colonization, AOX knockout mutants were generated in the broad host range pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Disease assays in soybean showed that these mutants had a significant virulence defect as evidenced by markedly reduced stem lesions and mortality rates. Chemical genomics suggest that SsAOX may function as an aromatic alcohol oxidase, and growth assays demonstrate that ΔSsAOX is incapable of properly utilizing plant extract as a nutrient source. Profiling of known aromatic alcohols point towards the monolignol coniferyl alcohol (CoA) as a possible substrate for SsAOX. As CoA and other monolignols are ubiquitous among land plants, the presence of highly conserved AOX orthologs throughout Ascomycota imply that this is a broadly conserved protein used by ascomycete fungi during plant colonization.

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis’success as a pathogen comes from itsability to evade degradation by macrophages. Normally macro-phages clear microorganisms that activate pathogen-recognitionreceptors (PRRs) through a lysosomal-trafficking pathway called“LC3-associated phagocytosis”(LAP). AlthoughM.tuberculosisac-tivates numerous PRRs, for reasons that are poorly understoodLAP does not substantially contribute toM.tuberculosiscontrol.LAP depends upon reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated byNADPH oxidase, butM.tuberculosisfails to generate a robustoxidative response. Here, we show that CpsA, a LytR-CpsA-Psr(LCP) domain-containing protein, is required forM.tuberculosisto evade killing by NADPH oxidase and LAP. Unlike phagosomescontaining wild-type bacilli, phagosomes containing theΔcpsAmutant recruited NADPH oxidase, produced ROS, associated withLC3, and matured into antibacterial lysosomes. Moreover, CpsAwas sufficient to impair NADPH oxidase recruitment to fungal par-ticles that are normally cleared by LAP. Intracellular survival of theΔcpsAmutant was largely restored in macrophages missing LAPcomponents (Nox2,Rubicon,Beclin,Atg5,Atg7,orAtg16L1) butnot in macrophages defective in a related, canonical autophagypathway (Atg14,Ulk1,orcGAS). TheΔcpsAmutant was highlyimpaired in vivo, and its growth was partially restored in micedeficient in NADPH oxidase,Atg5,orAtg7, demonstrating thatCpsA makes a significant contribution to the resistance ofM.tu-berculosisto NADPH oxidase and LC3 trafficking in vivo. Overall,our findings reveal an essential role of CpsA in innate immuneevasion and suggest that LCP proteins have functions beyond theirpreviously known role in cell-wall metabolism.

Project description:Alcohol-associated liver disease is accompanied by changes in the intestinal mycobiome. How fungal dysbiosis contributes to liver disease is not clear. T-helper (Th17) cells mediate immune responses against fungi, but the interleukin 17 (IL17) pathway has been associated with pathogenesis of alcohol-associated liver disease. Here, we demonstrate that Candida albicans (C. albicans)-specific Th17 cells are increased in the circulation and present in the liver of patients with alcohol-associated liver disease. Chronic ethanol administration to mice results in migration of C. albicans-reactive Th17 cells from the intestine to the liver. The antifungal agent nystatin reduced intestinal fungal overgrowth, decreased C. albicans-specific Th17 cells in the liver, and reduced features of ethanol-induced liver disease in mice. Transgenic mice that express a T-cell receptor (TCR) reactive to Candida antigens develop more severe ethanol-induced liver disease than transgene-negative littermates; disease severity was reduced by administration of an antibody against IL17 to the TCR transgenic mice. Adoptive transfer of C. albicans-reactive Th17 cells exacerbated ethanol-induced liver disease in wild-type mice. IL17 receptor A (IL17ra) signaling in Kupffer cells was required for the effects of C. albicans-reactive Th17 cells. Our findings indicate that ethanol increases C. albicans-reactive Th17 cells, which contribute to alcohol-associated liver disease.

Project description:Chronic alcohol abuse has a detrimental effect on the brain and liver. There is no effective treatment for these patients and the mechanism underlying alcohol addiction and consequent alcohol-induced damage of the liver/brain axis remains unresolved. We compared experimental models of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) and alcohol dependence in mice and demonstrated that genetic ablation of IL17 Receptor A (IL17ra-/-), or pharmacological blockade of IL17 signaling effectively suppressed the increased voluntary alcohol drinking in alcohol-dependent mice, and blocked alcohol-induced hepatocellular and neurological damage. The level of circulating IL17A positively correlated with the alcohol use in excessive drinkers, and was further increased in patients with ALD as compared to healthy individuals. Our data suggest that IL17A is a common mediator of excessive alcohol consumption and alcohol-induced liver/brain injury, and targeting IL17A may provide a novel strategy for treatment of alcohol-induced pathology.

Project description:Comparative analysis of the transcriptional response, as quantified by RNA-Seq, of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) during inhibition of the terminal cytochrome oxidases, Cytochrome bd oxidase and Cytochrome bcc:aa3. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy if a novel small molecule inhibitor of the Cytochrome bd oxidase. Specifically, we compared the transcriptional response of Mtb during inhibition by Q203 with a Cytochrome bd deletion mutant to the transcriptional response of Mtb treated with a combination of Q203 and the purported Cytorchomre bd small molecule inhibitor (ND-011992).
