Abstract
The number and variety of protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) found and characterized in bacteria over the past ten years have increased dramatically. Compared to eukaryotic proteins, most post-translational protein changes in bacteria affect relatively few proteins because the majority of modified proteins exhibit substoichiometric modification levels, which makes structural and functional analyses challenging. In addition, the number of modified enzymes in bacterial species differs widely, and degrees of proteome modification depend on environmental conditions. Nevertheless, evidence suggests that protein PTMs play essential roles in various cellular processes, including nitrogen metabolism, protein synthesis and turnover, the cell cycle, dormancy, spore germination, sporulation, persistence, and virulence. Additional investigations on protein post-translational changes will undoubtedly close knowledge gaps in bacterial physiology and create new means of treating infectious diseases. Here, we describe the role of the post-translation phosphorylation of major bacterial proteins and review the progress of research on phosphorylated proteins depending on bacterial species.

The Neglected Contribution of Streptomycin to the Tuberculosis Drug Resistance Problem. Genes (Basel) 2021; 12:genes12122003.

Abstract
The airborne pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis is responsible for a present major public health problem worsened by the emergence of drug resistance. M. tuberculosis has acquired and developed streptomycin (STR) resistance mechanisms that have been maintained and transmitted in the population over the last decades. Indeed, STR resistant mutations are frequently identified across the main M. tuberculosis lineages that cause tuberculosis outbreaks worldwide. The spread of STR resistance is likely related to the low impact of the most frequent underlying mutations on the fitness of the bacteria. The withdrawal of STR from the first-line treatment of tuberculosis potentially lowered the importance of studying STR resistance. However, the prevalence of STR resistance remains very high, could be underestimated by current genotypic methods, and was found in outbreaks of multi-drug (MDR) and extensively drug (XDR) strains in different geographic regions. Therefore, the contribution of STR resistance to the problem of tuberculosis drug resistance should not be neglected. Here, we review the impact of STR resistance and detail well-known and novel candidate STR resistance mechanisms, genes, and mutations. In addition, we aim to provide insights into the possible role of STR resistance in the development of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis.

Abstract
Protein phosphorylation regulates a large variety of biological processes in all living cells. In pathogenic bacteria, the study of serine, threonine, and tyrosine (Ser/Thr/Tyr) phosphorylation has shed light on the course of infectious diseases, from adherence to host cells to pathogen virulence, replication, and persistence. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based phosphoproteomics has provided global maps of Ser/Thr/Tyr phosphosites in bacterial pathogens. Despite recent developments, a quantitative and dynamic view of phosphorylation events that occur during bacterial pathogenesis is currently lacking. Temporal, spatial, and subpopulation resolution of phosphorylation data is required to identify key regulatory nodes underlying bacterial pathogenesis. Herein, we discuss how technological improvements in sample handling, MS instrumentation, data processing, and machine learning should improve bacterial phosphoproteomic datasets and the information extracted from them. Such information is expected to significantly extend the current knowledge of Ser/Thr/Tyr phosphorylation in pathogenic bacteria and should ultimately contribute to the design of novel strategies to combat bacterial infections.

Genomic signatures of drug resistance in highly resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains of the early ancient sublineage of Beijing genotype in Russia. Int J Antimicrob Agents 2020; 56:106036. [PMID: 32485278 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijantimicag.2020.106036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2019] [Revised: 05/17/2020] [Accepted: 05/21/2020] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
The Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing genotype is a clinically and epidemiologically important lineage that is subdivided into ancient/ancestral and modern strains. In our previous study in western Siberia, we identified variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR)-based clusters within the early ancient sublineage of the Beijing genotype characterized by an unexpectedly high rate of extensive drug resistance (XDR). In the current study, next generation sequencing data were analysed to gain insight into genomic signatures underlying drug resistance of these strains. A total of 184 genomes of the Beijing early ancient sublineage from Russia (16), China (15), Japan (36), Korea (25), Vietnam (18), Thailand (73), and the USA (1) were used for phylogenetic analysis. The drug-resistant profile was deduced genotypically. The Russian isolates were distributed into two clusters and were all drug resistant, mainly pre-XDR and XDR. The largest of these clusters included only Russian isolates from remote locations in both Asian and European parts of the country. All its isolates had a quadruple drug resistance (to isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol and streptomycin) due to the 6-mutation signature (KatG Ser315Thr, KatG Ile335Val, RpoB Ser450Leu, RpoC Asp485Asn, EmbB Gln497Arg, and RpsL Lys43Arg). In most samples, it was complemented with additional and different pncA, gyrA and rrs mutations leading to the pre-XDR/XDR genotype. Phylogenomic analysis indicates a distant origin of this Russian resistant cluster in the early 1970s but location and circumstances are yet to be clarified.

Abstract
In prokaryotes, protein phosphorylation plays a critical role in regulating a broad spectrum of biological processes and occurs mainly on various amino acids, including serine (S), threonine (T), tyrosine (Y), arginine (R), aspartic acid (D), histidine (H) and cysteine (C) residues of protein substrates. Through literature curation and public database integration, here we reported an updated database of phosphorylation sites (p-sites) in prokaryotes (dbPSP 2.0) that contains 19,296 experimentally identified p-sites in 8,586 proteins from 200 prokaryotic organisms, which belong to 12 phyla of two kingdoms, bacteria and archaea. To carefully annotate these phosphoproteins and p-sites, we integrated the knowledge from 88 publicly available resources that covers 9 aspects, namely, taxonomy annotation, genome annotation, function annotation, transcriptional regulation, sequence and structure information, family and domain annotation, interaction, orthologous information and biological pathway. In contrast to version 1.0 (~30 MB), dbPSP 2.0 contains ~9 GB of data, with a 300-fold increased volume. We anticipate that dbPSP 2.0 can serve as a useful data resource for further investigating phosphorylation events in prokaryotes. dbPSP 2.0 is free for all users to access at: http://dbpsp.biocuckoo.cn.

Abstract
Mycobacterial Ser/Thr protein kinases (STPKs) play a critical role in signal transduction pathways that ultimately determine mycobacterial growth and metabolic adaptation. Identification of key physiological substrates of these protein kinases is, therefore, crucial to better understand how Ser/Thr phosphorylation contributes to mycobacterial environmental adaptation, including response to stress, cell division, and host-pathogen interactions. Various substrate detection methods have been employed with limited success, with direct targets of STPKs remaining elusive. Recently developed mass spectrometry (MS)-based phosphoproteomic approaches have expanded the list of potential STPK substrate identifications, yet further investigation is required to define the most functionally significant phosphosites and their physiological importance. Prior to the application of MS workflows, for instance, GarA was the only known and validated physiological substrate for protein kinase G (PknG) from pathogenic mycobacteria. A subsequent list of at least 28 candidate PknG substrates has since been reported with the use of MS-based analyses. Herein, we integrate and critically review MS-generated datasets available on novel STPK substrates and report new functional and subcellular localization enrichment analyses on novel candidate protein kinase A (PknA), protein kinase B (PknB) and PknG substrates to deduce the possible physiological roles of these kinases. In addition, we assess substrate specificity patterns across different mycobacterial STPKs by analyzing reported sets of phosphopeptides, in order to determine whether novel motifs or consensus regions exist for mycobacterial Ser/Thr phosphorylation sites. This review focuses on MS-based techniques employed for STPK substrate identification in mycobacteria, while highlighting the advantages and challenges of the various applications.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing B0/W148 is one of the most widely distributed clusters in the Russian Federation and in some countries of the former Soviet Union. Recent studies have improved our understanding of the reasons for the “success” of the cluster but this area remains incompletely studied. Here, we focused on the system omics analysis of the RUS_B0 strain belonging to the Beijing B0/W148 cluster. Completed genome sequence of RUS_B0 (CP020093.1) and a collection of WGS for 394 cluster strains were used to describe the main genetic features of the population. In turn, proteome and transcriptome studies allowed to confirm the genomic data and to identify a number of finds that have not previously been described. Our results demonstrated that expression of the whiB6 which contains cluster-specific polymorphism (a151c) increased almost 40 times in RUS_B0. Additionally, the level of ethA transcripts in RUS_B0 was increased by more than 7 times compared to the H37Rv. Start sites for 10 genes were corrected based on the combination of proteomic and transcriptomic data. Additionally, based on the omics approach, we identified 5 new genes. In summary, our analysis allowed us to summarize the available results and also to obtain fundamentally new data.

Abstract
Introduction: The understanding of novel antibiotic resistance mechanisms is essential to develop strategies against antibiotic-resistant pathogens, which has become an urgent task due to the worldwide emergence of antibiotic resistance. Areas covered: In this review, the authors summarize the recent progress on antibiotic resistance caused by lab-evolved bacteria and clinical multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens from the proteomics perspective. Expert opinion: Proteomics provides a new platform for a comprehensive understanding of change in protein pathways that are engaged in antibiotics resistance, which is different from a genetic view that focuses on the role of an individual gene or protein. Further work is required to understand why and how the involved pathways are integrated for surviving antibiotic-mediated killing, to use other OMICs for better comprehension of antibiotic resistance mechanisms, and to develop reprogramming proteomics, which reverts an 'antibiotic resistance proteome' to an 'antibiotic sensitive or antibiotic sensitive-like' proteome, for the control of antibiotic-resistant pathogens.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to design a nanocarrier system for inhalation delivery of rifampicin (RIF) in combination with ascorbic acid (ASC), namely constituted of sodium alginate coated with chitosan and Tween 80 (RIF/ASC NPs) as a platform for the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis infection. A Box-Behnken experimental design and response surface methodology (RSM) were applied to elucidate and evaluate the effects of several factors on the nanoparticle properties. On the other hand, it was found that RIF/ASC NPs were less cytotoxic than the free RIF, showing a significantly improved activity against nine clinical strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) in comparison with the free drug. RIF/ASC NPs had an average particle size of 324.0 ± 40.7 nm, a polydispersity index of 0.226 ± 0.030, and a zeta potential of - 28.52 ± 0.47 mV and the surface was hydrophilic. The addition of sucrose (1% w/v) to the nanosuspension resulted in the formation of a solid pellet easily redispersible after lyophilization. RIF/ASC NPs were found to be stable at different physiological pH values. In summary, findings of this work highlight the potential of the RIF/ASC NP-based formulation development herein to deliver RIF in combination with ASC through pulmonary route by exploring a non-invasive route of administration of this antibiotic, increasing the local drug concentrations in lung tissues, the primary infection site, as well as reducing the risk of systemic toxicity and hence improving the patient compliance.

Abstract
In patients with diabetes mellitus, TB treatment outcomes are poorer. Most parameters, when measured, reflect the slower bacteriological conversion from positivity to negativity and higher risks of disease relapse and mortality, as well as a greater propensity to develop drug-resistant TB. Aside from the well-known immunological dysfunction inherent to patients with diabetes mellitus, oxidative stress is likely a major underlying mechanism adversely impacting their TB treatment outcomes. Mycobacterium tuberculosis persisters, formed as a result of the core dormancy response to stress, possibly play a central role in this hypothesis. This hypothetical model also underscores the paramount importance of programmatic management of TB and diabetes mellitus, in collaboration, to improve the outcomes of patients with both diseases. The validity of these ideas could be further ascertained by laboratory and clinical research.

Abstract
Significant developments and improvements in basic and clinical research notwithstanding, infectious diseases still claim at least 13 million lives annually. Classical research approaches have deciphered many molecular mechanisms underlying infection. Today it is increasingly recognized that multiple molecular mechanisms cooperate to constitute a complex system that is used by a given pathogen to interfere with the biochemical processes of the host. Therefore, systems-level approaches now complement the standard molecular biology techniques to investigate pathogens and their interactions with the human host. Here we review omic studies in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, with a particular focus on proteomic methods and their application to the bacilli. Likewise, the discussed methods are directly portable to other bacterial pathogens.

Abstract
We describe the population structure of a representative collection of 3,133 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates, collected within the framework of a national resistance survey from 2007 in China. Genotyping data indicate that the epidemic strains in China can be divided into seven major complexes, of which 92% belonged to the East Asian (mainly Beijing strains) or the Euro-American lineage. The epidemic Beijing strains in China are closely related to the Beijing B0/W148 strain earlier described in Russia and a large cluster of these strains has spread national wide. The density of Beijing strains is high in the whole of China (average 70%), but the highest prevalence was found North of the Yellow river. The Euro-American lineage consists of three sublineages (sublineage_1, 2, and 3) and is more prevalent in the South. Beijing lineage showed the highest cluster rate of 48% and a significantly higher level of resistance to rifampicin (14%, p<0.001), ethambutol (9%, p = 0.001), and ofloxacin (5%, p = 0.011). Within the Euro-American Lineage, sublineage_3 revealed the highest cluster rate (28%) and presented a significantly elevated level of resistance to streptomycin (44%, p<0.001). Our findings suggest that standardised treatment in this region may have contributed to the successful spread of certain strains: sublineage_3 in the Euro-American lineage may have thrived when streptomycin was used without rifampicin for treatment, while later under DOTS based treatment, in which rifampicin plays a key role, Beijing lineage appears to be spreading.

A temporal proteome dynamics study reveals the molecular basis of induced phenotypic resistance in Mycobacterium smegmatis at sub-lethal rifampicin concentrations. Sci Rep 2017; 7:43858. [PMID: 28262820 PMCID: PMC5338346 DOI: 10.1038/srep43858] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2016] [Accepted: 01/31/2017] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
In the last 40 years only one new antitubercular drug has been approved, whilst resistance to current drugs, including rifampicin, is spreading. Here, we used the model organism Mycobacterium smegmatis to study mechanisms of phenotypic mycobacterial resistance, employing quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics to investigate the temporal effects of sub-lethal concentrations of rifampicin on the mycobacterial proteome at time-points corresponding to early response, onset of bacteriostasis and early recovery. Across 18 samples, a total of 3,218 proteins were identified from 31,846 distinct peptides averaging 16,250 identified peptides per sample. We found evidence that two component signal transduction systems (e.g. MprA/MprB) play a major role during initial mycobacterial adaptive responses to sub-lethal rifampicin and that, after dampening an initial SOS response, the bacteria supress the DevR (DosR) regulon and also upregulate their transcriptional and translational machineries. Furthermore, we found a co-ordinated dysregulation in haeme and mycobactin synthesis. Finally, gradual upregulation of the M. smegmatis-specific rifampin ADP-ribosyl transferase was observed which, together with upregulation of transcriptional and translational machinery, likely explains recovery of normal growth. Overall, our data indicates that in mycobacteria, sub-lethal rifampicin triggers a concerted phenotypic response that contrasts significantly with that observed at higher antimicrobial doses.

Abstract
Mycobacterium africanum lineage (L) 6 is an important pathogen in West Africa, causing up to 40% of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). The biology underlying the clinical differences between M. africanum and M. tuberculosis sensu stricto remains poorly understood. We performed ex vivo expression of 2179 genes of the most geographically dispersed cause of human TB, M. tuberculosis L4 and the geographically restricted, M. africanum L6 directly from sputa of 11 HIV-negative TB patients from The Gambia who had not started treatment. The DosR regulon was the most significantly decreased category in L6 relative to L4. Further, we identified nonsynonymous mutations in major DosR regulon genes of 44 L6 genomes of TB patients from The Gambia and Ghana. Using Lebek's test, we assessed differences in oxygen requirements for growth. L4 grew only at the aerobic surface while L6 grew throughout the medium. In the host, the DosR regulon is critical for M. tuberculosis in adaptation to oxygen limitation. However, M. africanum L6 appears to have adapted to growth under hypoxic conditions or to different biological niches. The observed under expression of DosR in L6 fits with the genomic changes in DosR genes, microaerobic growth and the association with extrapulmonary disease.

Abstract
The spread of multidrug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis is one of the major challenges in tuberculosis control. In Eurasia, the spread of multidrug resistant tuberculosis is driven by the M. tuberculosis Beijing genotype. In this study, we examined whether selective advantages are present in the proteome of Beijing isolates that contribute to the emergence of this genotype. To this end, we compared the proteome of M. tuberculosis Beijing to that of M. tuberculosis H37Rv, both in the presence and absence of the first-line antibiotic rifampicin. During rifampicin exposure, both M. tuberculosis genotypes express proteins belonging to the DosR dormancy regulon, which induces a metabolically hypoactive-, drug tolerant phenotype. However, these markers of rifampicin tolerance were already more abundant in the M. tuberculosis Beijing isolate prior to drug exposure. To determine whether the a priori high abundance of specific proteins contribute to the formation of antibiotic resistance in M. tuberculosis Beijing, we quantified the abundance of 33 selected proteins in 27 clinical isolates from the five most common M. tuberculosis lineages using parallel reaction monitoring. The observed pre-existing high abundance of dormancy proteins in Beijing strains provides an evolutionary advantage that allows these strains to persist for prolonged periods during rifampicin treatment. SIGNIFICANCE M. tuberculosis is the leading cause of death by a bacterial infection worldwide. Treatment-regimen to eradicate this pathogen make use of the first-line antibiotic rifampicin, which is considered to be the cornerstone of modern day anti-tuberculosis treatment. Despite the potency of rifampicin, there is an increasing occurrence of rifampicin resistant mutants in a specific cluster of M. tuberculosis, the Beijing genotype. Using both a data dependent acquisition and a targeted proteomic approach we identified markers of rifampicin tolerance to be high abundant in members of the M. tuberculosis Beijing genotype, already prior drug exposure. The identification of this M. tuberculosis Beijing specific trait will contribute to improved diagnostics and treatment of M. tuberculosis.
