Functional analysis of the Mycobacterium bovis AF2122/97 PhoPR system
The PhoPR system is a master regulator in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A key difference between M. tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis is a G71I substitution in the M. bovis PhoR orthologue. Functional studies of the M. bovis PhoPR system have generated conflicting findings, with some research suggesting that the M. bovis PhoPR is defective while others indicate it is functional.
We sought to revisit the functionality of the M. bovis PhoPR system. To address this, we constructed a phoPR mutant in the reference strain M. bovis AF2122/97. We employed a combination of growth assays and transcriptomics analyses to assess the phenotype of the mutant vs wild type and complemented strains. We found that the M. bovis AF2122/97 ΔphoPR mutant showed a growth defect on solid and liquid media compared to the wild type and complemented strains. The transcriptome of the M. bovis AF2122/97 ΔphoPR mutant was also altered as compared to wild type, including differential expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism and secretion. Our work provides further insight into the activity of PhoPR in M. bovis and underlines the importance of the PhoPR system as a master regulator of gene expression in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.
期刊介绍:
Tuberculosis is a speciality journal focusing on basic experimental research on tuberculosis, notably on bacteriological, immunological and pathogenesis aspects of the disease. The journal publishes original research and reviews on the host response and immunology of tuberculosis and the molecular biology, genetics and physiology of the organism, however discourages submissions with a meta-analytical focus (for example, articles based on searches of published articles in public electronic databases, especially where there is lack of evidence of the personal involvement of authors in the generation of such material). We do not publish Clinical Case-Studies.
Areas on which submissions are welcomed include:
-Clinical TrialsDiagnostics-
Antimicrobial resistance-
Immunology-
Leprosy-
Microbiology, including microbial physiology-
Molecular epidemiology-
Non-tuberculous Mycobacteria-
Pathogenesis-
Pathology-
Vaccine development.
This Journal does not accept case-reports.
The resurgence of interest in tuberculosis has accelerated the pace of relevant research and Tuberculosis has grown with it, as the only journal dedicated to experimental biomedical research in tuberculosis.
