Although M. avium is known to invade epithelial cells, the molecular mechanisms underlying this process remain incompletely understood. In this study, we identified a novel role for MAVRS09815 (formerly MAV2054), a family 2A encapsulin nanocompartment shell protein, in mediating bacterial adhesion, epithelial cell invasion, and in vivo virulence. We engineered a recombinant M. smegmatis strain expressing MAV2054 (Ms_2054) and an M. avium MAV2054 deletion mutant (Δ2054). Ms_2054 exhibited enhanced epithelial invasion, whereas Δ2054 showed reduced intracellular survival. Recombinant MAV2054 protein was bound directly to human epithelial cells in a dose-dependent manner. Pretreatment of host cells with cytochalasin D or vinblastine significantly inhibited bacterial internalization, indicating that MAV2054-mediated invasion is cytoskeleton-dependent. Confocal and scanning electron microscopy revealed MAV2054-dependent membrane rearrangements during infection. Pull-down assays demonstrated that MAV2054 activates Cdc42, a key regulator of actin polymerization, with reduced activation observed in Δ2054-infected cells. In a murine intratracheal infection model, the Δ2054 exhibited significantly reduced bacterial burdens and lung inflammation compared to the wild type. These findings demonstrate that MAV2054 enhances M. avium virulence by promoting epithelial cell invasion through Cdc42-dependent cytoskeletal remodeling.

The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities with other members of the genus Niabella ranged from 92.3% to 98.1%.

Using ELISA, western blotting, and real-time PCR analyses in both P. aeruginosa and infected H292 cells, we found that PYC significantly reduced T3SS activity. Mechanistically, PYC suppressed the transcription of T3SS-related genes by downregulating exsA expression in P. aeruginosa.

This unique phenotype may be analyzed via [PSI+]-suppressible nonsense alleles, and has greatly contributed to the advancement in yeast prion research. For comparing canonical reporters, like chromosomal ade1-14 or ade2-1, and plasmid-borne ura3-14, the de novo generation and characteristics of [PSI+] was investigated across common yeast laboratory strains (BY4741, 74D-694, and 779-6A). The results showed significant variability in [PSI+] induction frequency among strains. [PSI+] was successfully induced in BY4741 and frequently in 74D-694 (via Ade+ selection), but not in 779-6A. Notably, [PSI+] clones, even from identical genetic backgrounds, displayed vastly different nonsense suppression phenotypes depending on the reporter allele used; resulting in diverse growth patterns and suppression levels. Quantitative analyses revealed that prion seed counts fluctuated significantly based on the detection allele and observed phenotype. Furthermore, Sup35p aggregate visualization revealed distinct structural patterns between BY4741 and 74D-694, indicating strain-specific differences. Transferring [PIN+] prion variants from different strains into a common [psi-][pin-] background yielded similar [PSI+] inducibility and seed numbers, suggesting that the observed phenotypic and quantitative diversities of [PSI+] prions stem primarily from the interplay between the specific reporter detection system and the host strain's genetic background rather than solely from inherent differences in the initial [PIN+] prion or fundamental changes in the [PSI+] protein itself.
