项目摘要
Project Summary/Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), is one of the deadliest pathogens
on the planet, and for decades, TB has been the leading cause of death due to infectious disease. The cell
envelope of Mtb forms a notoriously tough barrier around the cell, protecting the bacterium from harsh agents
in the environment such as antibiotics and host immune responses. At the same time, Mtb imports nutrients
from the host cell, such as cholesterol, across the cell envelope. Transport of lipids, metabolites and nutrients
across the cell envelope, between the inner and outer membranes is critical for building and maintaining the
cell envelope itself, and for import of key factors required for bacterial growth. Therefore, the transport systems
that facilitate this trafficking are critical for allowing Mtb to survive and thrive in its intracellular niche, most
typically macrophages in the lungs.
The MCE (Mammalian Cell Entry) family of proteins are transport systems that have been implicated as
virulence factors in Mtb, and are an expanded protein family in mycobacteria compared with other
double-membraned bacteria. In Mtb, several lines of evidence suggest that MCE systems are important for
importing nutrients such as cholesterol and fatty acids. Recent work on E. coli MCE systems has shown that
these are multi-protein complexes anchored in the inner membrane of double-membraned bacteria, and may
play an important role in the maintenance of outer membrane integrity, raising the possibility that this may also
be a role that MCE proteins play in Mtb. The structure and mechanisms of the highly complex MCE systems in
Mtb remain unknown, and studying these is critical for understanding how MCE systems work, what their
substrates are, and how they may be linked to virulence.
This proposal is focused on biochemical and structural characterization of MCE transport systems from
Mtb and the non-pathogenic model, Mycobacterium smegmatis. Using single particle cryo-EM, mass
spectrometry, biochemical and functional assays, we aim to study the structure and function of endogenous
Mtb MCE systems, decipher which protein subunits come together to form complexes and define
protein-protein interactions that are important for the systems to assemble and function. The results of this
work will provide important insights into the structure and function of the large, multi-protein MCE complexes in
the Mtb cell envelope, and how they influence replication and virulence in the host.
项目概要/摘要
结核分枝杆菌 (Mtb) 是结核病 (TB) 的病原体,是最致命的病原体之一
在地球上,几十年来,结核病一直是传染病导致死亡的主要原因。细胞
结核分枝杆菌的包膜在细胞周围形成坚固的屏障,保护细菌免受恶劣介质的侵害
在抗生素和宿主免疫反应等环境中。同时,Mtb进口营养物质
来自宿主细胞的胆固醇,例如胆固醇,穿过细胞膜。脂质、代谢物和营养物质的运输
穿过细胞膜,内膜和外膜之间对于构建和维持
细胞包膜本身,以及输入细菌生长所需的关键因子。因此,运输系统
促进这种贩运对于结核分枝杆菌在其细胞内生态位中生存和繁衍至关重要,大多数
通常是肺部的巨噬细胞。
MCE(哺乳动物细胞进入)蛋白质家族是运输系统,被认为是
结核分枝杆菌的毒力因子,与其他细菌相比,是分枝杆菌中扩展的蛋白质家族
双膜细菌。在 Mtb 中,多项证据表明 MCE 系统对于
输入胆固醇和脂肪酸等营养素。最近关于大肠杆菌 MCE 系统的研究表明
这些是锚定在双膜细菌内膜上的多蛋白复合物,并且可能
在维持外膜完整性方面发挥重要作用,这增加了这也可能的可能性
MCE 蛋白在 Mtb 中发挥的作用。高度复杂的MCE系统的结构和机制
Mtb 仍然未知,研究这些对于理解 MCE 系统如何工作、它们的用途至关重要
底物是什么,以及它们如何与毒力相关。
该提案的重点是 MCE 运输系统的生化和结构表征
Mtb 和非致病性模型,耻垢分枝杆菌。使用单粒子冷冻电镜,质量
光谱、生化和功能测定,我们的目的是研究内源性的结构和功能
Mtb MCE 系统,破译哪些蛋白质亚基聚集在一起形成复合物并定义
蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用对于系统的组装和功能很重要。这样做的结果
这项工作将为了解大型多蛋白MCE复合物的结构和功能提供重要见解
Mtb 细胞包膜,以及它们如何影响宿主中的复制和毒力。
