    Abstract Biooxidation of gold-bearing arsenopyrite concentrates, using acidophilic microbial communities, is among the largest commercial biohydrometallurgical processes. However, molecular mechanisms of microbial responses to sulfide raw materials have not been widely studied. The goal of this research was to gain insight into the defense strategies of the acidophilic bacterium Sulfobacillus thermotolerans , which dominates microbial communities functioning in industrial biooxidation processes at >35 °C, against the toxic effect of the high-arsenic gold-bearing sulfide concentrate. In addition to extreme metal resistance, this acidophile proved to be one of the most As-tolerant microorganisms. Comparative proteomic analysis indicated that 30 out of 33 differentially expressed proteins were upregulated in response to the ore concentrate, while the synthesis level of the functional proteins required for cell survival was not negatively affected. Despite a high level of cellular metal(loid) accumulation, no specific metal(loid)-resistant systems were regulated. Instead, several proteins involved in the metabolic pathways and stress response, including MBL fold metallo-hydrolase, sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase, and GroEL chaperonin, may play crucial roles in resistance to the sulfide ore concentrate and arsenic, in particular. This study provides the first data on the microbial responses to sulfide ore concentrates and advances our understanding of defense mechanisms against toxic compounds in acidophiles.

    Abstract The epigenetics of bacteria, and bacteria with a reduced genome in particular, is of great interest, but is still poorly understood. Mycoplasma gallisepticum, a representative of the class Mollicutes, is an excellent model of a minimal cell because of its reduced genome size, lack of a cell wall, and primitive cell organization. In this study we investigated DNA modifications of the model object Mycoplasma gallisepticum and their roles. We identified DNA modifications and methylation motifs in M. gallisepticum S6 at the genome level using single molecule real time (SMRT) sequencing. Only the ANCNNNNCCT methylation motif was found in the M. gallisepticum S6 genome. The studied bacteria have one functional system for DNA modifications, the Type I restriction-modification (RM) system, MgaS6I. We characterized its activity, affinity, protection and epigenetic functions. We demonstrated the protective effects of this RM system. A common epigenetic signal for bacteria is the m6A modification we found, which can cause changes in DNA-protein interactions and affect the cell phenotype. Native methylation sites are underrepresented in promoter regions and located only near the -35 box of the promoter, which does not have a significant effect on gene expression in mycoplasmas. To study the epigenetics effect of m6A for genome-reduced bacteria, we constructed a series of M. gallisepticum strains expressing EGFP under promoters with the methylation motifs in their different elements. We demonstrated that m6A modifications of the promoter located only in the -10-box affected gene expression and downregulated the expression of the corresponding gene.

    Abstract Mutations in surface proteins enable emerging variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) to escape a substantial fraction of neutralizing antibodies and may thus weaken vaccine-driven immunity. To compare available vaccines and justify revaccination, rapid evaluation of antibody (Ab) responses to currently circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants of interest (VOI) and concern (VOC) is needed. Here, we developed a multiplex protein microarray-based system for rapid profiling of anti-SARS-CoV-2 Ab levels in human sera. The microarray system was validated using sera samples from SARS-CoV-2-free donors and those diagnosed with COVID-19 based on PCR and enzyme immunoassays. Microarray-based profiling of vaccinated donors revealed a substantial difference in anti-VOC Ab levels elicited by the replication-deficient adenovirus vector-base (Sputnik V) and whole-virion (CoviVac Russia COVID-19) vaccines. Whole-virion vaccine-induced Abs showed minor but statistically significant cross-reactivity with the human blood coagulation factor 1 (fibrinogen) and thrombin. However, their effects on blood clotting were negligible, according to thrombin time tests, providing evidence against the concept of pronounced cross-reactivity-related side effects of the vaccine. Importantly, all samples were collected in the pre-Omicron period but showed noticeable responses to the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the Omicron spike protein. Thus, using the new express Ab-profiling system, we confirmed the inter-variant cross-reactivity of the anti-SARS-CoV-2 Abs and demonstrated the relative potency of the vaccines against new VOCs.

    Abstract COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 is continuing to spread around the world and drastically affect our daily life. New strains appear, and the severity of the course of the disease itself seems to be decreasing, but even people who have been ill on an outpatient basis suffer post-COVID consequences. Partly, it is associated with the autoimmune reactions, so debates about the development of new vaccines and the need for vaccination/revaccination continue. In this study we performed an analysis of the antibody response of patients with COVID-19 to linear and conformational epitopes of viral proteins using ELISA, chip array and western blot with analysis of correlations between antibody titer, disease severity, and complications. We have shown that the presence of IgG antibodies to the nucleoprotein can deteriorate the course of the disease, induce multiple direct COVID-19 symptoms, and contribute to long-term post-covid symptoms. We analyzed the cross reactivity of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 with own human proteins and showed that antibodies to the nucleocapsid protein can bind to human proteins. In accordance with the possibility of HLA presentation, the main possible targets of the autoantibodies were identified. People with HLA alleles A01:01; A26:01; B39:01; B15:01 are most susceptible to the development of autoimmune processes after COVID-19.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic was the most dramatic in the newest history with nearly 7 million deaths and global impact on mankind. Here we report binding index of 305 HLA class I molecules from 18,771 unique haplotypes of 28,104 individuals to 821 peptides experimentally observed from spike protein RBD of 5 main SARS-CoV-2 strains hydrolyzed by human proteasomes with constitutive and immune catalytic phenotypes. Our data read that 4 point mutations in the hACE2-binding region RBD496-513 of Omicron B1.1.529 strain results in a dramatic increase of proteasome-mediated release of two public HLA class I epitopes. Global population analysis of HLA class I haplotypes, specific to these peptides, demonstrated decreased mortality of human populations enriched in these haplotypes from COVID-19 after but not before December, 2021, when Omicron became dominant SARS-CoV-2 strain. Noteworthy, currently circulating BA.2.86 and JN.1 lineages contain no amino acid substitutions in RBD496-513 thus preserving identified core epitopes.

    Abstract The epigenetics of bacteria, and bacteria with a reduced genome in particular, is of great interest, but is still poorly understood. Mycoplasma gallisepticum, a representative of the class Mollicutes, is an excellent model of a minimal cell because of its reduced genome size, lack of a cell wall, and primitive cell organization. In this study we investigated DNA modifications of the model object Mycoplasma gallisepticum and their roles. We identified DNA modifications and methylation motifs in M. gallisepticum S6 at the genome level using single molecule real time (SMRT) sequencing. Only the ANCNNNNCCT methylation motif was found in the M. gallisepticum S6 genome. The studied bacteria have one functional system for DNA modifications, the Type I restriction-modification (RM) system, MgaS6I. We characterized its activity, affinity, protection and epigenetic functions. We demonstrated the protective effects of this RM system. A common epigenetic signal for bacteria is the m6A modification we found, which can cause changes in DNA-protein interactions and affect the cell phenotype. Native methylation sites are underrepresented in promoter regions and located only near the -35 box of the promoter, which does not have a significant effect on gene expression in mycoplasmas. To study the epigenetics effect of m6A for genome-reduced bacteria, we constructed a series of M. gallisepticum strains expressing EGFP under promoters with the methylation motifs in their different elements. We demonstrated that m6A modifications of the promoter located only in the -10-box affected gene expression and downregulated the expression of the corresponding gene.
