英文摘要
C. burnetii causes the zoonotic disease Q fever and resides within monocytes/macrophages
manipulating innate immune response. C. burnetii requires de novo protein synthesis and a
functional Type IVB Secretion System (T4BSS) to modulate host the eukaryotic transcription
factor Nuclear Factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling an essential regulator of innate response. Multiple
pathogens including C. burnetii deliver eukaryotic-type Ank-containing effectors to hijack NF-κB
signaling. C. burnetii Nine Mile isolate encodes 5 Ank-containing effectors (AnkA, -C, -F, -G, and
-K). Experiments found that 1) AnkK and AnkC significantly contributes to C. burnetii’s ability to
inhibit NF-κB dependent gene expression and 2) ectopic expression of AnkK or AnkC in
HEK293/hTLR4-MD2-CD14 cells blocks accumulation of NF-κB in the nucleus. The central focus
of this proposal is to determine mechanistically how the C. burnetii effectors, AnkK and AnkC,
modulate NF-κB to promote intracellular survival and replication. The central hypothesis by
accomplishing the following specific aims: 1. Determine the contribution of AnkK and -C to
C. burnetii’s virulence. The working hypothesis is that C. burnetii AnkK and AnkC promotes
pathogen virulence by modulating NF-κB activation. To test this, we will generate
complementation strains of C. burnetii NM II (NM II) ankK::Tn and ankC::Tn mutants and
investigate in vitro growth rescue and p65 nuclear translocation for phenotype rescue in tissue
culture cells. To investigate in vivo growth rescue, we will employ the SCID mice/NM II infection
model. Employing CYA-translocation assays, we will then test Type 4 secretion system
requirement. Furthermore, we will generate ΔdotA, ΔAnkK, and ΔAnkC gene knockouts and their
complementation strains in virulent C. burnetii NM I (NM I) to infect C57Bl/6N mice and determine
the relative contribution of AnkK and AnkC to bacterial virulence in vivo. 2. Determine the
mechanism of AnkK/AnkC-dependent NF-κB inhibition during C. burnetii infection. The
working hypothesis is C. burnetii AnkK or AnkC interacts with host targets in the canonical NF-κB
pathway or potentially sequesters p65 to block its nuclear translocation. We will deplete p65 in
host cells to investigate growth rescue of NM II ankK::Tn and ankC::Tn mutants. We will examine
expression, phosphorylation and degradation status of individual components of the canonical
NF-κB pathway in stable THP-1 cell lines expressing eGFP-tagged AnkK and AnkC. To identify
host-binding partner(s), pull down assays (GFP-trap) will be performed with THP-1 stable cells
expressing eGFP-AnkK and –AnkC. To determine C. burnetii AnkK or AnkC driven modulation of
host p65-dependent gene expression in infected cells, we will perform scRNA-seq and p65/ChIP-
seq experiments.
