Abstract
Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map) causes Johne's disease (JD), a chronic infection responsible for considerable economic losses to dairy industries worldwide. Genetically clonal, Map has evolved into three distinct genetic lineages designated CII, for bovine strains, and SI and SIII, for ovine strains. Previous studies have established that Map does not produce glycopeptidolipids, characteristic of the cell wall surface of mycobacteria belonging to the M. avium complex, but rather sugar-free lipopeptide compounds synthesized by nonribosomal peptide synthetases. In this study, we combined genomic, machine learning, (bio)chemical, and analytical approaches to identify the metabolites biosynthesized by NRPS in the most ancestral SI strains of Map. We thus characterized a lipotripeptide (L3P-2) signature for the SI genetic lineage, demonstrating that the evolution of this Map subspecies has been accompanied by a diversification of the cell wall lipopeptides. Finally, L3P-2 shows promise for improved serological diagnosis of JD.
期刊介绍:
ACS Infectious Diseases will be the first journal to highlight chemistry and its role in this multidisciplinary and collaborative research area. The journal will cover a diverse array of topics including, but not limited to:
* Discovery and development of new antimicrobial agents — identified through target- or phenotypic-based approaches as well as compounds that induce synergy with antimicrobials.
* Characterization and validation of drug target or pathways — use of single target and genome-wide knockdown and knockouts, biochemical studies, structural biology, new technologies to facilitate characterization and prioritization of potential drug targets.
* Mechanism of drug resistance — fundamental research that advances our understanding of resistance; strategies to prevent resistance.
* Mechanisms of action — use of genetic, metabolomic, and activity- and affinity-based protein profiling to elucidate the mechanism of action of clinical and experimental antimicrobial agents.
* Host-pathogen interactions — tools for studying host-pathogen interactions, cellular biochemistry of hosts and pathogens, and molecular interactions of pathogens with host microbiota.
* Small molecule vaccine adjuvants for infectious disease.
* Viral and bacterial biochemistry and molecular biology.
