Akkermansia muciniphilais an intestinal symbiont known to improve the gut barrier function in mice and humans. Various cell envelope components have been identified to play a critical role in the immune signaling ofA. muciniphila,but the chemical composition and role of peptidoglycan (PG) remained elusive. Here, we isolated PG fragments fromA. muciniphilaMucT(ATCC BAA-835),analyzed their composition and evaluated their immune signaling capacity. Structurally, the PG ofA. muciniphilawas found to be noteworthy due of the presence of some nonacetylated glucosamine residues, which presumably stems from deacetylation ofN-acetylglucosamine. Some of theN-acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc) subunits wereO-acetylated. The immunological assays revealed that muropeptides released from theA. muciniphilaPG could both activate the intracellular NOD1 and NOD2 receptors to a comparable extent as muropeptides fromEscherichia coliBW25113. These data challenge the hypothesis that non-N-acetylattion of PG can be used as a NOD-1 evasion mechanism. Our results provide new insights into the diversity of cell envelope structures of key gut microbiota members and their role in steering host–microbiome interactions.
