PfEMP1 mediates binding of the infected cell to the endothelium of blood vessels, a cause of severe malaria. Each parasite encodes ~60 different PfEMP1 variants but only one is expressed at a time. Switching between variants underlies immune evasion in the host and variant-specific severity of disease. PfEMP1 is difficult to study due to expression heterogeneity between parasites which also renders genetic modification approaches ineffective. Here, we used selection linked integration (SLI) to generate parasites all expressing the same PfEMP1 variant and genome edit the expressed locus. Moving this system from the reference strain 3D7 to IT4 resulted in PfEMP1 expressor parasites with effective receptor binding capacities. We also introduce a second version of SLI (SLI2) to introduce additional genome edits. Using these systems, we study PfEMP1 trafficking, generate cell lines binding to all major endothelial receptors, survey the protein environment from functional PfEMP1 in the host cell and identify new proteins needed for PfEMP1 mediated sequestration. These findings show the usefulness of the system to study the key virulence factor of malaria parasites.","PeriodicalId":501357,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv - Microbiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142259406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, a deeper understanding of how dietary components interact with the gut microbiome has highlighted the importance of understanding the nuances underpin-ning diet-microbiome interactions. Novel food proteins with distinct post-translational modifications resulting from their respective production systems have not been characterized, nor how they may differ from their traditionally produced counterparts. To address this, we have characterized the pro-tein composition and N-glycome of a yeast-synthesized whey protein ingredient isolated from com-mercially available ice cream and compared this novel ingredient to whey protein powder isolate derived from bovine milk. We found that despite strong similarities in protein composition, the N-glycome significantly differs between these protein sources, reflecting the biosynthetic machinery of the production systems. Further, the composition profile and diversity of proteins found in the syn-thetic whey protein were lower relative to bovine whey protein, despite both being predominantly composed of β-lactoglobulin. Finally, to understand whether these differences in N-glycome profiles affected the human gut microbiome, we tested these proteins in an in vitro fecal fermentation model. We found that the two whey protein sources generated significant differences among three distinct microbial compositions, which we hypothesize is a product of differences in N-glycan composition and degradation by these representative microbial communities. This work highlights the need to understand how differences in novel biotechnological systems affect the bioactivity of these pro-teins, and how these differences impact the human gut microbiome.","PeriodicalId":501357,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv - Microbiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142259438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of influenza virus, an orthomyxovirus, requires cellular ANP32A or ANP32B proteins for genome replication. However, little is known about whether ANP32 proteins are required by other orthomyxoviruses like the tick-borne thogotoviruses. Recent structural studies coupled with functional assays suggested that the Thogoto virus polymerase uses both ANP32A and ANP32B from brown dog ticks. We clarify here that this tick vector encodes a single ANP32 locus corresponding to ANP32A. This single gene produces multiple protein variants through alternative splicing and start-site selection, all of which enhance Thogoto virus polymerase. Thogoto virus polymerase activity is also enhanced by human and chicken ANP32 proteins. Thus, ANP32A is a deeply conserved pro-viral cofactor and Thogoto virus shows remarkable plasticity utilizing ANP32 homologues separated by almost 1 billion years of evolution.","PeriodicalId":501357,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv - Microbiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142259408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii persists in hosts by differentiating from proliferative tachyzoites to latent bradyzoites, which are housed inside tissue cysts. Transcriptional changes facilitating bradyzoite conversion are mediated by a Myb domain transcription factor called BFD1, whose mRNA is present in tachyzoites but not translated into protein until stress is applied to induce differentiation. We addressed the mechanisms by which translational control drives BFD1 synthesis in response to stress-induced parasite differentiation. Using biochemical and molecular approaches, we show that the 5-leader of BFD1 mRNA is sufficient for preferential translation upon stress. The translational control of BFD1 mRNA is maintained when ribosome assembly near its 5-cap is impaired by insertion of a 5-proximal stem-loop and upon knockdown of the Toxoplasma cap-binding protein, eIF4E1. Moreover, we show that a trans-acting RNA-binding protein called BFD2/ROCY1 is necessary for cap-independent translation of BFD1 through its binding to the 5-leader. Translation of BFD2 mRNA is also suggested to be preferentially induced under stress, but by a cap-dependent mechanism. These results show that translational control and differentiation in Toxoplasma proceed through cap-independent mechanisms in addition to canonical cap-dependent translation. Our identification of cap-independent translation in protozoa underscores the antiquity of this mode of gene regulation in cellular evolution and its central role in stress-induced life-cycle events.","PeriodicalId":501357,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv - Microbiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142259415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since ATM activity was shown to be severely impacted by an increase in the inoculum size in vitro, we wondered whether ATM-AVI activity could be impaired in high inoculum infections. Methods: We analyzed the impact of the inoculum size on ATM-AVI activity in vitro and in a murine model of peritonitis due to susceptible E. coli CFT073-pTOPO and its isogenic derivatives producing NDM-1 (E. coli CFT073-NDM1) and CTX-M-15 plus NDM-1 (E. coli CFT073-CTXM15-NDM1). The impact of the inoculum size on bacterial morphology was studied by microscopic examination.\u0000Results: In vitro, at standard (10<sup>5</sup>) inoculum, E. coli CFT073-CTXM15-NDM1 was resistant to ATM but susceptible to the ATM-AVI combination. At high (10<sup>7</sup>) inoculum, MICs of ATM alone and of the ATM-AVI combination reached &gt; 512 and 64 mg/L respectively, against all tested strains. ATM led to bacterial filamentation when active against the bacteria, i.e., in monotherapy or in combination with AVI against susceptible E. coli CFT073-pTOPO, and only in combination with AVI against E. coli CFT073-CTXM15-NDM1. In vivo, increase in the inoculum led to a drastic decrease in the activity of ATM alone against E. coli CFT073-pTOPO, and of ATM-AVI against E. coli CFT073-CTXM15-NDM1. Conclusion: Our results suggest a high in vivo impact of the inoculum increase on the activity of ATM alone against ATM-susceptible E. coli, and of ATM-AVI against CTX-M-15 plus NDM-1 producing E. coli. Clinicians must be aware of the risk of failures when using AZT-AVI in high inoculum infections.","PeriodicalId":501357,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv - Microbiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142259414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our understanding of A. baumannii respiratory pathogenesis relies on an acute murine infection model with limited clinical relevance that employs an unnaturally high number of bacteria and requires the assessment of bacterial load at 24-36 hours post-infection. Here, we demonstrate that low intranasal inoculums in immunocompromised mice with a tlr4 mutation leads to reduced inflammation, allowing for persistent infections lasting at least 3 weeks. Using this chronic infection model, we determined the adhesin InvL is an imperative virulence factor required during later stages of infection, despite being dispensable in the early phase. We also demonstrate that the chronic model enables the distinction between antibiotics that, although initially reduce bacterial burden, either lead to complete clearance or result in the formation of bacterial persisters. To illustrate how our model can be applied to study polymicrobial infections, we inoculated mice with an active A. baumannii infection with Staphylococcus aureus or Klebsiella pneumoniae. We found that S. aureus exacerbates the infection, while K. pneumoniae enhances A. baumannii clearance. In all, the chronic model overcomes some limitations of the acute pulmonary model, expanding our capabilities to study of A. baumannii pathogenesis and lays the groundwork for the development of similar models for other important opportunistic pathogens.","PeriodicalId":501357,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv - Microbiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142259371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, even though competition and conflict are common themes in microbial communities, there is scant evidence documenting antagonistic interactions between archaea and their abundant prokaryotic brethren: bacteria. Do archaea specifically target bacteria for destruction? If so, what molecular weaponry do they use? Here, we present an approach to infer antagonistic interactions between archaea and bacteria from genome sequence. We show that a large and diverse set of archaea encode peptidoglycan hydrolases, enzymes that recognize and cleave a structure - peptidoglycan - that is a ubiquitous component of bacterial cell walls but absent from archaea. We predict the bacterial targets of archaeal peptidoglycan hydrolases using a structural homology approach and demonstrate that the predicted target bacteria tend to inhabit a similar niche to the archaeal producer, indicative of ecologically relevant interactions. Using a heterologous expression system, we demonstrate that two peptidoglycan hydrolases from the halophilic archaeaon <em>Halogranum salarium</em> B-1 kill the halophilic bacterium <em>Halalkalibacterium halodurans</em>, a predicted target, and do so in a manner consistent with peptidoglycan hydrolase activity. Our results suggest that, even though the tools and rules of engagement remain largely unknown, archaeal-bacterial conflicts are likely common, and we present a roadmap for the discovery of additional antagonistic interactions between these two domains of life. Our work has implications for understanding mixed microbial communities that include archaea and suggests that archaea might represent a large untapped reservoir of novel antibacterials.","PeriodicalId":501357,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv - Microbiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142259410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
