从细菌细胞质输出的结核分枝杆菌蛋白被理想地定位为毒力因子;然而,单个输出蛋白的功能在很大程度上仍然未知。先前的研究发现Rv0199是一种功能未知的输出膜蛋白。在这里,我们利用小鼠感染的气溶胶模型表征了Rv0199在结核分枝杆菌毒力中的作用。Rv0199似乎是Mce相关膜(Mam)蛋白家族的成员,因此我们将其重新命名为OmamA,即孤儿Mce相关膜蛋白a。与Mce运输中的作用一致,我们发现OmamA是胆固醇进口所必需的,这是一个依赖mce4的过程。我们进一步证明了OmamA在稳定Mce1转运蛋白复合物的蛋白质成分方面的功能。这些结果表明OmamA在多种Mce转运体中的功能,可能类似于VirB8在稳定IV型分泌系统中的作用,因为Mam蛋白和VirB8蛋白之间的结构相似性被Phyre 2程序预测。在这项研究中,我们提供了有关OmamA的功能信息,并阐明了mama家族蛋白在Mce转运体中的功能。
Mycobacterium tuberculosis proteins that are exported out of the bacterial cytoplasm are ideally positioned to be virulence factors; however, the functions of individual exported proteins remain largely unknown. Previous studies identified Rv0199 as an exported membrane protein of unknown function. Here, we characterized the role of Rv0199 in M. tuberculosis virulence using an aerosol model of murine infection. Rv0199 appears to be a member of a Mce-associated membrane (Mam) protein family leading us to rename it OmamA, for orphaned Mce-associated membrane protein A. Consistent with a role in Mce transport, we showed OmamA is required for cholesterol import, which is a Mce4-dependent process. We further demonstrated a function for OmamA in stabilizing protein components of the Mce1 transporter complex. These results indicate a function of OmamA in multiple Mce transporters and one that may be analogous to the role of VirB8 in stabilizing Type IV secretion systems, as structural similarities between Mam proteins and VirB8 proteins are predicted by the Phyre 2 program. In this study, we provide functional information about OmamA and shed light on the function of Mam family proteins in Mce transporters.
