Abstract

International audience; Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiological agent of tuberculosis, is among the deadliest human pathogens. One of M. tuberculosis's pathogenic hallmarks is its ability to persist in a dormant state in the host. Thus, this pathogen has developed mechanisms to withstand stressful conditions found in the human host. Particularly, the Ser/Thr-protein kinase PknG has gained relevance since it regulates nitrogen metabolism and facilitates bacterial survival inside macrophages. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects are far from being elucidated. To further investigate these issues, we performed quantitative proteomic analyses of protein extracts from M. tuberculosis H37Rv and a mutant lacking pknG. We found that in the absence of PknG the mycobacterial proteome was remodeled since 5.7% of the proteins encoded by M. tuberculosis presented significant changes in its relative abundance compared with the wild-type. The main biological processes affected by pknG deletion were cell envelope components biosynthesis and response to hypoxia. Thirteen DosR-regulated proteins were underrepresented in the pknG deletion mutant, including Hrp-1, which was 12.5-fold decreased according to Parallel Reaction Monitoring experiments. Altogether, our results allow us to postulate that PknG regulation of bacterial adaptation to stress conditions might be an important mechanism underlying its reported effect on intracellular bacterial survival. SIGNIFICANCE: PknG is a Ser/Thr kinase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis with key roles in bacterial metabolism and bacterial survival within the host. However, at present the molecular mechanisms underlying these functions remain largely unknown. In this work, we evaluate the effect of pknG deletion on M. tuberculosis proteome using different approaches. Our results clearly show that the global proteome was remodeled in the absence of PknG and shed light on new molecular mechanism underlying PknG role. Altogether, this work contributes to a better understanding of the molecular bases of the adaptation of M. tuberculosis, one of the most deadly human pathogens, to its host.

Abstract

International audience; Bacterial kinesin light chain is a TPR domain-containing protein encoded by the bklc gene, which co-localizes with the bacterial tubulin (btub) genes in a conserved operon in Prosthecobacter. Btub heterodimers show high structural homology with eukaryotic tubulin and assemble into head-to-tail protofilaments. Intriguingly, Bklc is homologous to the light chain of the microtubule motor kinesin and could thus represent an additional eukaryotic-like cytoskeletal element in bacteria. Using biochemical characterization as well as cryo-electron tomography we show here that Bklc interacts specifically with Btub protofilaments, as well as lipid vesicles and could thus play a role in anchoring the Btub filaments to the membrane protrusions in Prosthecobacter where they specifically localize in vivo. This work sheds new light into possible ways in which the microtubule cytoskeleton may have evolved linking precursors of microtubules to the membrane via the kinesin moiety that in today's eukaryotic cytoskeleton links vesicle-packaged cargo to microtubules.

22. Cryo-EM structure and polar assembly of the PS2 S-layer of Corynebacterium glutamicum .

Author

Sogues A, Sleutel M, Petit J, Megrian D, Bayan N, Wehenkel AM, and Remaut H

Abstract

The polar-growing Corynebacteriales have a complex cell envelope architecture characterized by the presence of a specialized outer membrane composed of mycolic acids. In some Corynebacteriales, this mycomembrane is further supported by a proteinaceous surface layer or 'S-layer', whose function, structure and mode of assembly remain largely enigmatic. Here, we isolated ex vivo PS2 S-layers from the industrially important Corynebacterium glutamicum and determined its atomic structure by 3D cryoEM reconstruction. PS2 monomers consist of a six-helix bundle 'core', a three-helix bundle 'arm', and a C-terminal transmembrane (TM) helix. The PS2 core oligomerizes into hexameric units anchored in the mycomembrane by a channel-like coiled-coil of the TM helices. The PS2 arms mediate trimeric lattice contacts, crystallizing the hexameric units into an intricate semipermeable lattice. Using pulse-chase live cell imaging, we show that the PS2 lattice is incorporated at the poles, coincident with the actinobacterial elongasome. Finally, phylogenetic analysis shows a paraphyletic distribution and dispersed chromosomal location of PS2 in Corynebacteriales as a result of multiple recombination events and losses. These findings expand our understanding of S-layer biology and enable applications of membrane-supported self-assembling bioengineered materials., Competing Interests: Competing interests The authors declare no competing financial interests

23. Evolutionary plasticity and functional repurposing of the essential metabolic enzyme MoeA.

Author

Megrian D, Martinez M, Alzari PM, and Wehenkel AM

Abstract

MoeA, or gephyrin in higher eukaryotes, is crucial for molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis required in redox reactions. Gephyrin is a moonlighting protein also involved in postsynaptic receptor clustering, a feature thought to be a recent evolutionary trait. We showed previously that a repurposed copy of MoeA (Glp) is involved in bacterial cell division. To investigate how MoeA acquired multifunctionality, we used phylogenetic inference and protein structure analyses to understand the diversity and evolutionary history of MoeA. Glp-expressing Bacteria have at least two copies of the gene, and our analysis suggests that Glp has lost its enzymatic role. In Archaea we identified an ancestral duplication where one of the paralogs might bind tungsten instead of molybdenum. In eukaryotes, the acquisition of the moonlighting activity of gephyrin comprised three major events: first, MoeA was obtained from Bacteria by early eukaryotes, second, MogA was fused to the N-terminus of MoeA in the ancestor of opisthokonts, and finally, it acquired the function of anchoring GlyR receptors in neurons. Our results support the functional versatility and adaptive nature of the MoeA scaffold, which has been repurposed independently both in eukaryotes and bacteria to carry out analogous functions in network organization at the cell membrane.
