    Abstract: It is well established that high-affinity zinc importers play essential roles in bacterial virulence, but the studies described by Moreau et al. in this issue (G. B. Moreau, A. Qin, and B. J. Mann, J Bacteriol 200:e00587-17, 2018, https://doi.org/10.1128/ ...

    Abstract It is well established that high-affinity zinc importers play essential roles in bacterial virulence, but the studies described by Moreau et al. in this issue (G. B. Moreau, A. Qin, and B. J. Mann, J Bacteriol 200:e00587-17, 2018, https://doi.org/10.1128/JB.00587-17) demonstrate that we probably still have much to learn about how these transporters function and how the genes that encode them are regulated in different bacterial pathogens.

    Abstract Similar to other bacteria, Brucella strains require several biologically essential metals for their survival in vitro and in vivo. Acquiring sufficient levels of some of these metals, particularly iron, manganese and zinc, is especially challenging in the mammalian host, where sequestration of these micronutrients is a well-documented component of both the innate and acquired immune responses. This review describes the Brucella metal transporters that have been shown to play critical roles in the virulence of these bacteria in experimental and natural hosts.

    Abstract Biosynthesis of riboflavin (RF), the precursor of the redox cofactors FMN and FAD, was thought to be well understood in bacteria, with all the pathway enzymes presumed to be known and essential. Our previous research has challenged this view by showing that, in the bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti, deletion of the ribBA gene encoding the enzyme that catalyzes the initial steps on the RF biosynthesis pathway only causes a reduction in flavin secretion rather than RF auxotrophy. This finding led us to hypothesize that RibBA participates in the biosynthesis of flavins destined for secretion, whereas S. meliloti has another enzyme that performs this function for internal cellular metabolism. Here, we identify and biochemically characterize a novel formamidase (SMc02977) involved in the production of RF for intracellular functions in S. meliloti. This catalyst, which we named Sm-BrbF, releases formate from the early RF precursor 2-amino-5-formylamino-6-ribosylamino-4(3H)-pyrimidinone 5'-phosphate to yield 2,5-diamino-6-ribosylamino-4(3H)-pyrimidinone 5'-phosphate. We show that homologs of this enzyme are present in many bacteria, are highly abundant in the Rhizobiales order, and that sequence homologs from Brucella abortus and Liberobacter solanacearum complement the RF auxotrophy of the Sm1021ΔSMc02977 mutant. Furthermore, we show that the B. abortus enzyme (Bab2_0247, Ba-BrbF) is also an 2-amino-5-formylamino-6-ribosylamino-4(3H)-pyrimidinone 5'-phosphate formamidase, and that the bab2_0247 mutant is a RF auxotroph exhibiting a lower level of intracellular infection than the wildtype strain. Finally, we show that Sm-BrbF and Ba-BrbF directly interact with other RF biosynthesis pathway enzymes. Together, our results provide novel insight into the intricacies of RF biosynthesis in bacteria.
