    Abstract Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has evolved to evade host innate immunity by interfering with macrophage functions. Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) is secreted by macrophages after the activation of the inflammasome complex and is crucial for host defense against Mtb infections. We have previously shown that Mtb is able to inhibit activation of the AIM2 inflammasome and subsequent pyroptosis. Here we show that Mtb is also able to inhibit host cell NLRP3 inflammasome activation and pyroptosis. We identified the serine/threonine kinase PknF as one protein of Mtb involved in the NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition, since the pknF deletion mutant of Mtb induces increased production of IL-1β in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). The increased production of IL-1β was dependent on NLRP3, the adaptor protein ASC and the protease caspase-1, as revealed by studies performed in gene-deficient BMDMs. Additionally, infection of BMDMs with the pknF deletion mutant resulted in increased pyroptosis, while the IL-6 production remained unchanged compared to Mtb-infected cells, suggesting that the mutant did not affect the priming step of inflammasome activation. In contrast, the activation step was affected since potassium efflux, chloride efflux and the generation of reactive oxygen species played a significant role in inflammasome activation and subsequent pyroptosis mediated by the Mtb pknF mutant strain. In conclusion, we reveal here that the serine/threonine kinase PknF of Mtb plays an important role in innate immune evasion through inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome.

    Abstract During its persistence in the infected host, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) accumulates host-derived fatty acids in intracytoplasmic lipid inclusions as triacylglycerols which serve primarily as carbon and energy reserves. The Mtb genome codes for more than 15 triacylglycerol synthases, 24 lipase/esterases, and seven cutinase-like proteins. Hence, we looked at the expression of the corresponding genes in intracellular bacilli persisting amidst the host triacylglycerols. We used the Mtb infected murine adipocyte model to ensure persistence and transcripts were quantified using real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Dormancy and glyoxylate metabolism was confirmed by the upregulated expression of dosR and icl, respectively, by intra-adipocyte bacilli compared with in vitro growing bacilli. The study revealed that tgs1, tgs2, Rv3371, and mycolyltransferase Ag85A are the predominant triacylglycerol synthases, while lipF, lipH, lipJ, lipK, lipN, lipV, lipX, lipY, culp5, culp7, and culp6 are the predominant lipases/esterases used by Mtb for the storage and degradation of host-derived fat. Moreover, it was observed that many of these enzymes are used by Mtb during active replication rather than during nonreplicating persistence, indicating their probable function in cell wall synthesis.

    Abstract In eukaryotes, the basal transcription in interphase is orchestrated through the regulation by kinases (Kin28, Bur1, and Ctk1) and phosphatases (Ssu72, Rtr1, and Fcp1), which act through the post-translational modification of the C-terminal domain (CTD) of the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II. The CTD comprises the repeated Tyr-Ser-Pro-Thr-Ser-Pro-Ser motif with potential epigenetic modification sites. Despite the observation of transcription and periodic expression of genes during mitosis with entailing CTD phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, the associated CTD specific kinase(s) and its role in transcription remains unknown. Here we have identified Cdc15 as a potential kinase phosphorylating Ser-2 and Ser-5 of CTD for transcription during mitosis in the budding yeast. The phosphorylation of CTD by Cdc15 is independent of any prior Ser phosphorylation(s). The inactivation of Cdc15 causes reduction of global CTD phosphorylation during mitosis and affects the expression of genes whose transcript levels peak during mitosis. Cdc15 also influences the complete transcription of clb2 gene and phosphorylates Ser-5 at the promoter and Ser-2 toward the 3' end of the gene. The observation that Cdc15 could phosphorylate Ser-5, as well as Ser-2, during transcription in mitosis is in contrast to the phosphorylation marks put by the kinases in interphase (G

    Abstract PE11 (Rv1169c or LipX) is a cell wall associated esterase/lipase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Evidences suggest that PE11 is expressed by Mtb both in vitro and in vivo. Previous studies have shown that PE11 leads to modification in cell wall lipid content and enhanced virulence when expressed in the non-pathogenic surrogate Mycobacterium smegmatis. Since cell wall lipids often play different roles in pathogenic and non-pathogenic mycobacteria, we investigated the role of PE11 in its host, Mtb. Mtb with lowered expression of PE11 (PE11 knock-down) displayed significant changes in colony morphology and cell wall lipid profile, confirming the role of PE11 in cell wall architecture. In addition, the levels of phthiocerol dimycocerosates, a cell wall virulence factor, were decreased. Levels of trehalose esters and free mycolic acids were increased. In contrast to M. smegmatis expressing Mtb PE11, a role reversal was observed in Mtb with respect to pellicle/biofilm formation. The PE11 knock-down Mtb strain showed significantly enhanced aggregation and early biofilm growth in detergent-free medium, compared to the wild-type. Knock-down strain also showed nearly 27-fold up-regulation of a fibronectin attachment protein (Rv1759c), linking biofilm growth with over-expression of bacterial proteins that help in aggregation and/or binding to host extracellular matrix. The knock-down also resulted in poor virulence of Mtb in PMA (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) treated and PMA+IFN-γ treated THP-1 macrophages. Therefore, the study not only links PE11 to cell wall virulence lipids but also reveals the involvement of this cell wall associated esterase in down-regulation of biofilm in Mtb.

    Abstract Triacylglycerol (TAG) is important to mycobacteria both as cell envelope component and energy reservoir. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) genome encodes at least 15 putative TAG synthase (tgs)s. We report that one of these genes, Rv3371, specific to pathogenic mycobacteria, when expressed in M. smegmatis leads to modifications in colony morphotype, bacterial architecture, cell surface properties and elevated TAG levels. Rv3371 was found to largely localize in the cell membrane. The Rv3371 promoter is minimally active during exponential growth in vitro, however, is up-regulated under stationary phase, hypoxia, nutrient starvation, nitrosative stress, low iron, in IFN-γ activated macrophages and infected mice. The low iron-induced expression of Rv3371 is likely due to the de-repression by Rv1404, which is probably activated by ideR. An Rv3371 deletion mutant of Mtb showed impaired non-replicating persistence in vitro and altered sensitivity to anti-mycobacterial drugs. In low iron medium, the Rv3371 deletion mutant showed reduced formation of TAG containing extracellular vesicles. Therefore Rv3371 is likely involved in Mtb growth arrest and cell wall alterations during persistence.

    Abstract Combating tuberculosis requires new therapeutic strategies that not only target the actively dividing bacilli but also the dormant bacilli during persistent infection. Isocitrate lyase (ICL) is a key enzyme of the glyoxylate shunt, crucial for the survival of bacteria in macrophages and mice. MtbICL is considered as one of the potential and attractive drug targets against persistent infection. We report the inhibition of MtbICL by quercetin with IC50 of 3.57 μM. In addition, quercetin strongly inhibited the growth of Mtb H37Rv utilizing acetate, rather than glucose as the sole carbon source, suggesting the inhibition of glyoxylate shunt. Quercetin binds at the N-terminus of MtbICL (Kd - 6.68 μM).
