Mycobacterium tuberculosis causes human tuberculosis, and a better understanding of its biology is required to identify vulnerabilities that might be exploited in developing new therapeutics. The iron-sulfur cluster of the essential M. tuberculosis central metabolic enzyme, aconitase (AcnA), disassembles when exposed to oxidative/nitrosative stress or iron chelators. The catalytically inactive apo-AcnA interacts with a sequence resembling an iron-responsive element (IRE) located within the transcript of another essential protein, CwlM, a regulator of peptidoglycan synthesis. A Mycobacterium smegmatis cwlM conditional mutant complemented with M. tuberculosis cwlM with a disrupted IRE is unable to recover from combinations of oxidative, nitrosative, and iron starvation stresses. An equivalent M. tuberculosis cwlM conditional mutant complemented with the cwlM gene lacking a functional IRE exhibits a growth defect in THP-1 macrophages. It appears that AcnA acts to couple peptidoglycan synthesis and central metabolism, and disruption of this coupling potentially leaves mycobacteria vulnerable to attack by macrophages. Mutation of the M. tuberculosis cwlM IRE impairs binding by apo-aconitase Apo-aconitase:cwlM IRE interactions couple metabolism and peptidoglycan synthesis Decoupling by mutation of the cwlM IRE sensitizes M. smegmatis to host-related stresses Mutation of the cwlM IRE in M. tuberculosis results in a growth defect in macrophages Bancroft et al. show that host-associated stresses cause disassembly of the iron-sulfur cluster of Mycobacterium tuberculosis aconitase. The resulting apo-aconitase binds an IRE-like sequence within the cwlM transcript. Disruption of this interaction enhances the sensitivity of mycobacteria to iron starvation and nitrosative and oxidative stresses and impairs growth in macrophages.
