A Manganese-independent Aldolase Enables Staphylococcus aureus To Resist Host-imposed Metal Starvation.

The preferred carbon source of Staphylococcus aureus and many other pathogens is glucose, and its consumption is critical during infection. However, glucose utilization increases the cellular demand for manganese, a nutrient sequestered by the host as a defense against invading pathogens. Therefore, bacteria must balance glucose metabolism with the increasing demand that metal-dependent processes, such as glycolysis, impose upon the cell. A critical regulator that enables S. aureus to resist nutritional immunity is the ArlRS two-component system. This work revealed that ArlRS regulates the expression of FdaB, a metal-independent fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase. Further investigation revealed that when S. aureus is metal-starved by the host, FdaB functionally replaces the metal-dependent isozyme FbaA, thereby allowing S. aureus to resist host-imposed metal starvation in culture. Although metal-dependent aldolases are canonically zinc-dependent, this work uncovered that FbaA requires manganese for activity and that FdaB protects S. aureus from manganese starvation. Both FbaA and FdaB contribute to the ability of S. aureus to cause invasive disease in wild-type mice. However, the virulence defect of a strain lacking FdaB was reversed in calprotectin-deficient mice, which have defects in manganese sequestration, indicating that this isozyme contributes to the ability of this pathogen to overcome manganese limitation during infection. Cumulatively, these observations suggest that the expression of the metal-independent aldolase FdaB allows S. aureus to alleviate the increased demand for manganese that glucose consumption imposes, and highlights the cofactor flexibility of even established metalloenzyme families.
