Abstract
Microbes utilize numerous metal cofactor-containing proteins to recognize and respond to constantly fluctuating redox stresses in their environment. Gaining an understanding of how these metalloproteins sense redox events, and how they communicate such information downstream to DNA to modulate microbial metabolism, is a topic of great interest to both chemists and biologists. In this article, we review recently characterized examples of metalloprotein sensors, focusing on the coordination and oxidation state of the metals involved, how these metals are able to recognize redox stimuli, and how the signal is transmitted beyond the metal center. We discuss specific examples of iron, nickel, and manganese-based microbial sensors, and identify gaps in knowledge in the field of metalloprotein-based signal transduction pathways.

Abstract
Since their initial discovery some 30 years ago, heme-based O2 sensors have been extensively studied. Among many other lessons, we have learned that they have adapted a wide variety of folds to bind heme for O2 sensing, and they can couple those sensory domains to transducer domains with many different activities. There is no question that we have learned a great deal about those systems by solving X-ray structures of the truncated pieces of larger multi-domain proteins. All of the studies have, for example, hinted at the importance of protein residues, which were further investigated, usually by site-directed mutagenesis of the full-length proteins together with physico-chemical measurements and enzymatic studies. The biochemistry has suggested that the sensing functions of heme-based O2 sensors involve not only the entire proteins but also, and quite often, their associated regulatory partners and targets. Here we critically examine the state of knowledge for some well-studied sensors and discuss outstanding questions regarding their structures. For the near future, we may foresee many large complexes with sensor proteins being solved by cryo-EM, to enhance our understanding of their mechanisms.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) senses and responds to host-derived gasotransmitters NO and CO via heme-containing sensor kinases DosS and DosT and the response regulator DosR. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important signaling molecule in mammals, but its role in Mtb physiology is unclear. We have previously shown that exogenous H2S can modulate expression of genes in the Dos dormancy regulon via an unknown mechanism(s). Here, we test the hypothesis that Mtb senses and responds to H2S via the DosS/T/R system. Using UV-Vis and EPR spectroscopy, we show that H2S binds directly to the ferric (Fe3+) heme of DosS (KDapp = 5.30 μM) but not the ferrous (Fe2+) form. No interaction with DosT(Fe2+-O2) was detected. We found that the binding of sulfide can slowly reduce the DosS heme iron to the ferrous form. Steered Molecular Dynamics simulations show that H2S, and not the charged HS- species, can enter the DosS heme pocket. We also show that H2S increases DosS autokinase activity and subsequent phosphorylation of DosR, and H2S-mediated increases in Dos regulon gene expression is lost in Mtb lacking DosS. Finally, we demonstrate that physiological levels of H2S in macrophages can induce DosR regulon genes via DosS. Overall, these data reveal a novel mechanism whereby Mtb senses and responds to a third host gasotransmitter, H2S, via DosS(Fe3+). These findings highlight the remarkable plasticity of DosS and establish a new paradigm for how bacteria can sense multiple gasotransmitters through a single heme sensor kinase.

Abstract
Intracellular bacterial pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis are remarkably adept at surviving within a host, employing a variety of mechanisms to counteract host defenses and establish a protected niche. Constant surveying of the environment is key for pathogenic mycobacteria to discern their immediate location and coordinate the expression of genes necessary for adaptation. Two‐component systems efficiently perform this role, typically comprised of a transmembrane sensor kinase and a cytoplasmic response regulator. In this review, we describe the role of two‐component systems in bacterial pathogenesis, focusing predominantly on the role of sensor kinases of M. tuberculosis. We highlight important features of sensor kinases in mycobacterial infection, discuss ways in which these signaling proteins sense and respond to environments, and how this is attuned to their intracellular lifestyle. Finally, we discuss recent studies which have identified and characterized inhibitors of two‐component sensor kinases toward establishing a new strategy in anti‐mycobacterial therapy.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide has an infamous reputation as a toxic gas, and it has been suggested that it has potential as an antibacterial agent. Despite this, how bacteria resist its toxic effects is not well understood. Carbon monoxide (CO) gas is infamous for its acute toxicity. This toxicity predominantly stems from its tendency to form carbonyl complexes with transition metals, thus inhibiting the heme-prosthetic groups of proteins, including respiratory terminal oxidases. While CO has been proposed as an antibacterial agent, the evidence supporting its toxicity toward bacteria is equivocal, and its cellular targets remain poorly defined. In this work, we investigate the physiological response of mycobacteria to CO. We show that Mycobacterium smegmatis is highly resistant to the toxic effects of CO, exhibiting only minor inhibition of growth when cultured in its presence. We profiled the proteome of M. smegmatis during growth in CO, identifying strong induction of cytochrome bd oxidase and members of the dos regulon, but relatively few other changes. We show that the activity of cytochrome bd oxidase is resistant to CO, whereas cytochrome bcc-aa3 oxidase is strongly inhibited by this gas. Consistent with these findings, growth analysis shows that M. smegmatis lacking cytochrome bd oxidase displays a significant growth defect in the presence of CO, while induction of the dos regulon appears to be unimportant for adaptation to CO. Altogether, our findings indicate that M. smegmatis has considerable resistance to CO and benefits from respiratory flexibility to withstand its inhibitory effects. IMPORTANCE Carbon monoxide has an infamous reputation as a toxic gas, and it has been suggested that it has potential as an antibacterial agent. Despite this, how bacteria resist its toxic effects is not well understood. In this study, we investigated how CO influences growth, proteome, and aerobic respiration of wild-type and mutant strains of Mycobacterium smegmatis. We show that this bacterium produces the CO-resistant cytochrome bd oxidase to tolerate poisoning of its CO-sensitive complex IV homolog. Further, we show that aside from this remodeling of its respiratory chain, M. smegmatis makes few other functional changes to its proteome, suggesting it has a high level of inherent resistance to CO.

Abstract
The emergence of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) stains has escalated the need for developing more efficient drugs and therapeutic strategies against tuberculosis. Here we functionally annotate a secretory mycobacterial asparaginase Rv1538c (MtA) and describe its biochemical properties. MtA primarily existed as dimer along with a minor population of multimers. Circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy demonstrated a compact structure in Tris HCl buffer at pH 8.0. Under these conditions it also displayed optimum activity. It retained ∼40% activity at pH 5.5, supporting its physiological relevance in acidic phagosomal environment. MtA contravened classical Michaelis-Menten kinetics and exhibited product inhibition profile, yielding a Kcat of 869.4 s-1 and an apparent Km of 8.36 mM. We report the presence of several antigenic epitopes and a C-terminal YXXXD/E motif in MtA, hinting towards its potential to interact or influence host immune system. This was supported by our observation of morphological changes in MtA-treated human B lymphoblasts. We propose that MtA is a dual purpose enzyme used by Mtb to survive inside its host by; 1) ammonia-mediated neutralization of the phagosomal acidic pH and 2) inducing stress to primary immune cells and compromising the host immune response. Overall, this study contributes to our understanding of the biological role of mycobacterial asparaginase opening avenues for developing effective TB therapeutics.

Abstract
Progress against tuberculosis (TB) requires faster-acting drugs. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the leading cause of death by an infectious disease and its treatment is challenging and lengthy. Mtb is remarkably successful, in part, due to its ability to become dormant in response to host immune pressures. The DosRST two-component regulatory system is induced by hypoxia, nitric oxide and carbon monoxide and remodels Mtb physiology to promote nonreplicating persistence (NRP). NRP bacteria are thought to play a role in the long course of TB treatment. Therefore, inhibitors of DosRST-dependent adaptation may function to kill this reservoir of persisters and potentially shorten therapy. This review examines the function of DosRST, newly discovered compounds that inhibit DosRST signaling and considers future development of DosRST inhibitors as adjunct therapies.

Abstract
Microlunatus phosphovorus NM-1 is a polyphosphate (poly-P)-accumulating bacterium that accumulates poly-P under aerobic conditions and degrades poly-P under anaerobic conditions. In this study, the two-component system (TCS) PolS-PolR was identified in NM-1, and the response regulator PolR was found to directly bind to the promoters of genes related to phosphate transport (MLP_RS00235, MLP_RS23035, and MLP_RS24590); poly-P catabolism (MLP_RS12905) and poly-P synthesis (MLP_RS23025). RT-qPCR assays showed that ppgk (MLP_RS12905), ppk (MLP_RS23025), pstS (MLP_RS23035), and pit (MLP_RS24590) were down-regulated during the aerobic-anaerobic shift. The sequence GTTCACnnnnnGTTCaC was identified as a recognition sequence for PolR by MEME analysis and DNase I footprinting. EMSAs and ChIP-qPCR assays indicated that PolR binds to the promoters of pit (MLP_RS00235), ppgk (MLP_RS12905), ppk (MLP_RS23025), pstS (MLP_RS23035) and pit (MLP_RS24590), and ChIP-qPCR further suggested that the binding affinity of PolR was lower under anaerobic conditions than under aerobic conditions in vivo. These findings indicate that the PolS-PolR TCS in M. phosphovorus may be involved in the regulation of poly-P metabolism in response to levels of dissolved oxygen in the environment, and our results provide insights into new approaches for understanding the mechanisms of phosphorus accumulation and release.

Abstract
Tuberculosis is one of the oldest known infectious diseases, responsible for millions of deaths annually around the world. The ability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) to enter into a dormant state has been considered integral to the success of this bacterium as a human pathogen. One of the key systems involved in regulating the entrance into dormancy is the differentially expressed in virulent strain sensor protein (DevS) [(dormancy survival sensor protein (DosS)]. However, the physiological signal for DevS has remained unclear since it was first shown to be a heme-based sensor with conflicting reports on whether it is a redox or an oxygen sensor. To address this question and provide a better understanding of the electronic properties of this protein, we present here, for the first time, a series of spectroelectrochemistry measurements of the full-length holo DevS in anaerobic conditions as well as bound to CO, NO, imidazole (Imz), cyanide, and O2 . An interesting feature of this protein is its ability to bind Imz even in the ferrous state, implying small-molecule analogues could be designed as potential regulators. Nonetheless, a midpoint potential (Em ) value of +10 mV [vs normal hydrogen electrode (NHE)] for DevS as measured under anaerobic conditions is much higher than the expected cytosolic potential for Mtb or even within stimulated macrophages (~ -270 mV vs NHE), indicating this sensor works in a reduced ferrous state. These data, along with the high oxygen affinity and very slow auto-oxidation rate of DevS, provides evidence that it is not a redox sensor. Overall, this study validates the biological function of DevS as an oxygen sensor directly involved in the dormancy/latency of Mtb.
