了解毒力的进化是评价特定基因座在致病性中所起作用的关键。链霉菌通常是非致病的土壤腐生植物,但在它们的基因组中,我们可以找到毒力基因的同源物。这方面的一个例子是哺乳动物细胞进入(MCE)基因座,它的特征是结核分枝杆菌。为了研究在链霉菌中的作用,我们删除了mce基因座,并研究了它对细胞存活、形态以及与其他土壤生物相互作用的影响。Mce簇的破坏导致了对阿米巴(Acanthamoeba Polyphaga)的毒力和植物(拟南芥)模型的减少,表明这些基因可能在链霉菌在环境中的生存中发挥重要作用。我们的数据表明在链霉菌中mce的损失。可能对在竞争的土壤环境中的生存有深远的影响,并为这些基因作为毒力因子在相关病原生物体中的进化和选择提供了洞察力。
Understanding the evolution of virulence is key to appreciating the role specific loci play in pathogenicity. Streptomyces species are generally non-pathogenic soil saprophytes, yet within their genome we can find homologues of virulence loci. One example of this is the mammalian cell entry (mce) locus, which has been characterised in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. To investigate the role in Streptomyces we deleted the mce locus and studied its impact on cell survival, morphology and interaction with other soil organisms. Disruption of the mce cluster resulted in virulence towards amoebae (Acanthamoeba polyphaga) and reduced colonization of plant (Arabidopsis) models, indicating these genes may play an important role in Streptomyces survival in the environment. Our data suggest that loss of mce in Streptomyces spp. may have profound effects on survival in a competitive soil environment, and provides insight in to the evolution and selection of these genes as virulence factors in related pathogenic organisms.
