Streptococcus mutansUA159 is responsible for human dental caries with robust cariogenic potential. Our previous study noted that a glutamate racemase (MurI) mutant strain (designatedS. mutansFW1718), with the hereditary background of UA159, displayed alterations of morphogenesis, attenuated stress tolerance, and weakened biofilm-forming capabilities, accompanying with unclear mechanisms. In this study, we applied isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)-based proteomics to characterize the proteome profiles of themurImutant strainvs.the wild-type strain in chemically defined media to elucidate the mechanisms by whichS. mutanscopes with MurI deficiency. Whole-cell proteins ofS. mutansFW1718 and UA159 were assessed by iTRAQ-coupled LC–ESI–MS/MS. Furthermore, differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified by Mascot, Gene Ontology (GO) annotation, Cluster of Orthologous Groups of proteins (COG), and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses. Finally, a protein–protein interaction (PPI) network was established using the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins (STRING). Among 1173 total bacterial proteins identified, 112 DEPs exhibited altered expression patterns inS. mutansUA159 with or without themurImutation. The ΔmurI cells displayed an increase in the relative expression of 93 proteins (fold change ≥ 1.2,p< 0.05) and a decrease in 29 proteins (fold change ≤ 0.833,p< 0.05) compared with the wild-type cells. PPI analysis revealed a complex network of DEPs containing 191 edges and 122 nodes. The DEPs significantly upregulated aftermurIknockout had roles in diverse functional processes spanning cell-wall biosynthesis, energy production, and DNA replication and repair. We identified distinct variations and diverse modulators caused bymurImutation in the proteome ofS. mutans, indicating that the modification of cell membrane structure, redistribution of energy metabolism and enhanced nucleic acid machinery contributed to theS. mutansresponse to specific environmental contexts.
