Abstract
In the last decade, MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has been introduced and broadly accepted by clinical laboratory laboratories throughout the world as a powerful and efficient tool for rapid microbial identification. During the MALDI-TOF MS process, microbes are identified using either intact cells or cell extracts. The process is rapid, sensitive, and economical in terms of both labor and costs involved. Whilst MALDI-TOF MS is currently the gold-standard, it suffers from several shortcomings such as lack of direct information on antibiotic resistance, poor depth of analysis and insufficient discriminatory power for the distinction of closely related bacterial species or for reliably sub-differentiating isolates to the level of clones or strains. Thus, new approaches targeting proteins and allowing a better characterization of bacterial strains are strongly needed, if possible, on a very short time scale after sample collection in the hospital. Bottom-up proteomics (BUP) is a nice alternative to MALDI-TOF MS, offering the possibility for in-depth proteome analysis. Top-down proteomics (TDP) provides the highest molecular precision in proteomics, allowing the characterization of proteins at the proteoform level. A number of studies have already demonstrated the potential of these techniques in clinical microbiology. In this review, we will discuss the current state-of-the-art of MALDI-TOF MS for the rapid microbial identification and detection of resistance to antibiotics and describe emerging approaches, including bottom-up and top-down proteomics as well as ambient MS technologies.

EnvZ/OmpR Controls Protein Expression and Modifications in Cronobacter sakazakii for Virulence and Environmental Resilience. JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2024; 72:18697-18707.

Abstract
Cronobacter sakazakii is a notorious foodborne opportunistic pathogen, particularly affecting vulnerable populations such as premature infants, and poses significant public health challenges. This study aimed to elucidate the role of the envZ/ompR genes in environmental tolerance, pathogenicity, and protein regulation of C. sakazakii. An envZ/ompR knockout mutant was constructed and assessed for its impact on bacterial growth, virulence, environmental tolerance, and protein regulation. Results demonstrate that deletion of envZ/ompR genes leads to reduced growth rate and attenuated virulence in animal models. Additionally, the knockout strain exhibited compromised environmental tolerance, particularly in desiccation and oxidative stress conditions, along with impaired adhesion and invasion abilities in epithelial cells. Proteomic analysis revealed significant alterations in protein expression and phosphorylation patterns, highlighting potential compensatory mechanisms triggered by gene deletion. Furthermore, investigation into protein deamidation and glucose metabolism uncovered a link between envZ/ompR deletion and energy metabolism dysregulation. Interestingly, the downregulation of MalK and GrxC proteins was identified as contributing factors to altered desiccation tolerance and disrupted redox homeostasis, respectively, providing mechanistic insights into the phenotypic changes observed. Overall, this study enhances understanding of the multifaceted roles of envZ/ompR in C. sakazakii physiology and pathogenesis, shedding light on potential targets for therapeutic intervention and food safety strategies.

Lewis JM, Jebeli L, Coulon PML, Lay CE, Scott NE. Glycoproteomic and proteomic analysis of Burkholderia cenocepacia reveals glycosylation events within FliF and MotB are dispensable for motility. Microbiol Spectr 2024; 12:e0034624. [PMID: 38709084 PMCID: PMC11237607 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.00346-24] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Across the Burkholderia genus O-linked protein glycosylation is highly conserved. While the inhibition of glycosylation has been shown to be detrimental for virulence in Burkholderia cepacia complex species, such as Burkholderia cenocepacia, little is known about how specific glycosylation sites impact protein functionality. Within this study, we sought to improve our understanding of the breadth, dynamics, and requirement for glycosylation across the B. cenocepacia O-glycoproteome. Assessing the B. cenocepacia glycoproteome across different culture media using complementary glycoproteomic approaches, we increase the known glycoproteome to 141 glycoproteins. Leveraging this repertoire of glycoproteins, we quantitively assessed the glycoproteome of B. cenocepacia using Data-Independent Acquisition (DIA) revealing the B. cenocepacia glycoproteome is largely stable across conditions with most glycoproteins constitutively expressed. Examination of how the absence of glycosylation impacts the glycoproteome reveals that the protein abundance of only five glycoproteins (BCAL1086, BCAL2974, BCAL0525, BCAM0505, and BCAL0127) are altered by the loss of glycosylation. Assessing ΔfliF (ΔBCAL0525), ΔmotB (ΔBCAL0127), and ΔBCAM0505 strains, we demonstrate the loss of FliF, and to a lesser extent MotB, mirror the proteomic effects observed in the absence of glycosylation in ΔpglL. While both MotB and FliF are essential for motility, we find loss of glycosylation sites in MotB or FliF does not impact motility supporting these sites are dispensable for function. Combined this work broadens our understanding of the B. cenocepacia glycoproteome supporting that the loss of glycoproteins in the absence of glycosylation is not an indicator of the requirement for glycosylation for protein function. IMPORTANCE Burkholderia cenocepacia is an opportunistic pathogen of concern within the Cystic Fibrosis community. Despite a greater appreciation of the unique physiology of B. cenocepacia gained over the last 20 years a complete understanding of the proteome and especially the O-glycoproteome, is lacking. In this study, we utilize systems biology approaches to expand the known B. cenocepacia glycoproteome as well as track the dynamics of glycoproteins across growth phases, culturing media and in response to the loss of glycosylation. We show that the glycoproteome of B. cenocepacia is largely stable across conditions and that the loss of glycosylation only impacts five glycoproteins including the motility associated proteins FliF and MotB. Examination of MotB and FliF shows, while these proteins are essential for motility, glycosylation is dispensable. Combined this work supports that B. cenocepacia glycosylation can be dispensable for protein function and may influence protein properties beyond stability.

Abstract
Global proteome changes in microbes affect the survival and overall production of commercially relevant metabolites through different bioprocesses. The existing methods to monitor proteome level changes are destructive in nature. Stable isotope probing (SIP) coupled with Raman spectroscopy is a relatively new approach for proteome analysis. However, applying this approach for monitoring changes in a large culture volume is not cost-effective. In this study, for the first time we are presenting a novel method of combining reverse SIP using 13 C-glucose and Deuterium to monitor the proteome changes through Raman spectroscopy. The findings of the study revealed visible changes (blue shifts) in proteome related peaks that can be used for monitoring proteome dynamics, that is, synthesis of nascent amino acids and its turnover with time in a non-destructive, cost-effective, and label-free manner.

Abstract
Trichoderma harzianum has a certain resistance to Hexavalent Uranium (U(VI)), but its resistance mechanism is unknown. Based on proteomics sequencing using DIA mode, differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) of Trichoderma harzianum under U(VI) stress were identified. GO enrichment, KEGG annotation analysis and DEPs annotation were performed. The results showed that 8 DEPs, 8 DEPs and 15 DEPs were obtained in the low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups, respectively. The functional classification of GO demonstrated that DEPs were associated with 17 molecular functions, 5 biological processes, and 5 cellular components. Furthermore, DEPs were enriched in transport and catabolism, energy metabolism, translation, and signal transduction. These findings showed that Trichoderma harzianum was significantly changed in protein expression and signaling pathway after U(VI) exposure. Therefore, these results have provided Trichoderma harzianum with a theoretical background that can be applied to environmental cleanup.

Abstract
The symbiosis of probiotic bacteria with humans has rendered various health benefits while providing nutrition and a suitable environment for their survival. However, the probiotics must survive unfavorable gut conditions to exert beneficial effects. The intrinsic resistance of probiotics to survive harsh conditions results from a myriad of proteins. Interaction of microbial proteins with the host is indispensable for modulating the gut microbiome, such as interaction with cell receptors and protective action against pathogens. The complex interplay of proteins should be unraveled by utilizing metaproteomic strategies. The contribution of probiotics to health is now widely accepted. However, due to the inconsistency of generalized probiotics, contemporary research toward precision probiotics has gained momentum for customized treatment. This review explores the application of metaproteomics and AI/ML algorithms in resolving multiomics data analysis and in silico prediction of microbial features for screening specific beneficial probiotic organisms. Implementing these integrative strategies could augment the potential of precision probiotics for personalized healthcare.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is an intracellular bacterium that causes a highly contagious and potentially lethal tuberculosis (TB) in humans. It can maintain a dormant TB infection within the host. DosR (dormancy survival regulator) (Rv3133c) has been recognized as one of the key transcriptional proteins regulating bacterial dormancy and participating in various metabolic processes. In this study, we extensively investigate the still not well-comprehended role and mechanism of DosR in Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) through a combined omics analysis. Our study finds that deleting DosR significantly affects the transcriptional levels of 104 genes and 179 proteins. Targeted metabolomics data for amino acids indicate that DosR knockout significantly upregulates L-Aspartic acid and serine synthesis, while downregulating seven other amino acids, including L-histidine and lysine. This suggests that DosR regulates amino acid synthesis and metabolism. Taken together, these findings provide molecular and metabolic bases for DosR effects, suggesting that DosR may be a novel regulatory target.

Abstract
Background The increase in antibiotic resistance of bacteria has become a major concern in clinical treatment. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have significant antibacterial effects against Streptococcus suis. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the antibacterial activity and mechanism of action of AgNPs against multidrug-resistant S. suis. Methods The effect of AgNPs on the morphology of multidrug-resistant S. suis was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Differentially expressed proteins were analyzed by iTRAQ quantitative proteomics, and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was assayed by H2DCF-DA staining. Results SEM showed that AgNPs disrupted the normal morphology of multidrug-resistant S. suis and the integrity of the biofilm structure. Quantitative proteomic analysis revealed that a large number of cell wall synthesis-related proteins, such as penicillin-binding protein and some cell cycle proteins, such as the cell division protein FtsZ and chromosomal replication initiator protein DnaA, were downregulated after treatment with 25 μg/mL AgNPs. Significant changes were also observed in the expression of the antioxidant enzymes glutathione reductase, alkyl hydroperoxides-like protein, α/β superfamily hydrolases/acyltransferases, and glutathione disulfide reductases. ROS production in S. suis positively correlated with AgNP concentration. Conclusion The potential antibacterial mechanism of AgNPs may involve disrupting the normal morphology of bacteria by inhibiting the synthesis of cell wall peptidoglycans and inhibiting the growth of bacteria by inhibiting the cell division protein FtsZ and Chromosomal replication initiator protein DnaA. High oxidative stress may be a significant cause of bacterial death. The potential mechanism by which AgNPs inhibit S. suis biofilm formation may involve affecting bacterial adhesion and interfering with the quorum sensing system.

Abstract
Identification of mechanical asphyxia deaths without obvious injuries is a difficult problem for forensic medicine. This study aimed to identify molecular biological markers to predict death from mechanical asphyxia (smother). We established a smother model of mice by over the head with plastic bag tightly until the mice died and applied label-free proteomic technology to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in heart. A total of 3307 proteins were quantified, and a Fold Change (FC) > 1.2 (or <1/1.2) and Q value < 0.05 were considered as DEPs. Through comparative analysis, we identified 606 DEPs compared to the control group, comprising 219 upregulated and 387 downregulated proteins. Bioinformatics analysis (MCODE analysis) showed that the candidate proteins were mainly involved in regulation of ribosome function, myocardial contraction and calcium regulation, regulation of coagulation and regulation of mitochondrial oxidative respiration. Seven of these proteins were validated using parallel reaction monitoring (PRM), including fibrinogen alpha chain (FIBA), fibrinogen gamma chain (FIBG), Calsequestrin-2 (CASQ2), NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] 1 alpha subcomplex subunit 11 (NDUAB), NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] 1 alpha subcomplex subunit 3 (NDUA3), NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] 1 alpha subcomplex subunit 13 (NDUAD) and Rab7 (RAB7A). CASQ2 and FIBG were further validated by immunohistochemistry. In conclusion, our results may provide some auxiliary indices for identifying the death from mechanical asphyxia.

Abstract
Crohn's disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with complex clinical manifestations such as chronic diarrhea, weight loss and hematochezia. Despite the increasing incidence worldwide, cure of CD remains extremely difficult. The rapid development of high-throughput sequencing technology with integrated-omics analyses in recent years has provided a new means for exploring the pathogenesis, mining the biomarkers and designing targeted personalized therapeutics of CD. Host genomics and epigenomics unveil heredity-related mechanisms of susceptible individuals, while microbiome and metabolomics map host-microbe interactions in CD patients. Proteomics shows great potential in searching for promising biomarkers. Nonetheless, single omics technology cannot holistically connect the mechanisms with heterogeneity of pathological behavior in CD. The rise of multi-omics analysis integrates genetic/epigenetic profiles with protein/microbial metabolite functionality, providing new hope for comprehensive and in-depth exploration of CD. Herein, we emphasized the different omics features and applications of CD and discussed the current research and limitations of multi-omics in CD. This review will update and deepen our understanding of CD from integration of broad omics spectra and will provide new evidence for targeted individualized therapeutics.

Abstract
Finding new therapeutic strategies against Gram-negative pathogens such as Acinetobacter baumannii is challenging. Starting from diphenyleneiodonium (dPI) salts, which are moderate Gram-positive antibacterials, we synthesized a focused heterocyclic library and found a potent inhibitor of patient-derived multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains that significantly reduced bacterial burden in an animal model of infection caused by carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB), listed as a priority 1 critical pathogen by the World Health Organization. Next, using advanced chemoproteomics platforms and activity-based protein profiling (ABPP), we identified and biochemically validated betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BetB), an enzyme that is involved in the metabolism and maintenance of osmolarity, as a potential target for this compound. Together, using a new class of heterocyclic iodonium salts, a potent CRAB inhibitor was identified, and our study lays the foundation for the identification of new druggable targets against this critical pathogen. IMPORTANCE Discovery of novel antibiotics targeting multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens such as A. baumannii is an urgent, unmet medical need. Our work has highlighted the potential of this unique scaffold to annihilate MDR A. baumannii alone and in combination with amikacin both in vitro and in animals, that too without inducing resistance. Further in depth analysis identified central metabolism to be a putative target. Taken together, these experiments lay down the foundation for effective management of infections caused due to highly MDR pathogens.

Abstract
1. As RIPK2 (receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase 2) has been shown to to alleviate excessive inflammatory responses, the following study conducted a systematic and in-depth analysis of the mRNA-seq and miRNA-seq data from chicken macrophages with/without over-expression of RIPK2 (oeRIPK2) combined with/without avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC) infection to identify the miRNA-mRNA interaction network and potential signalling pathways involved.2. A total of 9,201 differentially expressed (DE) mRNAs and 300 DE miRNA were identified in both oeRIPK2+APEC vs. APEC and oeRIPK2 vs. the wild-type (WT). Moreover, 4,269 instances of co-expression between miRNAs and mRNAs were seen involving 1,652 DE mRNAs and 164 DE miRNAs.3. Functional analysis of the DE mRNAs in the miRNA-mRNA interaction network showed that 223 biological processes and five KEGG pathways were significantly enriched in the two comparisons. In total, 128 pairs of miRNA-mRNA interactions were involved in the identified MAPK signalling pathway and focal adhesion immune related pathways.4. Significantly, these screened miRNAs (gga-miR-222b-5p and gga-miR-214) and their target genes were highly correlated with APEC infection and RIPK2. These recognised key genes, miRNA and the overall miRNA-mRNA regulatory network, enables better understanding of the molecular mechanism of host response to APEC infection, especially related to RIPK2.

Abstract
The insulin signaling pathway plays an important role in the development of diabetes mellitus. The expression of insulin signaling pathway related proteins in the urine of diabetic patients has not been reported. The aim of this study was to analyze and verify the expression of insulin signaling pathway related proteins in the urine of diabetic patients without hypertension and hyperlipidemia, and to explore their clinical application value. Based on data-independent acquisition proteomics technology and bioinformatics, the urinary protein expression profile of diabetic patients without hypertension and hyperlipidemia was established. Western blot and enzyme-linked immunoassay were performed to verify the expression of insulin signaling pathway related proteins in the urine of diabetic patients. Sixteen proteins related to the insulin signaling pathway were screened in urine, and 7 of them were differentially expressed in the urine of diabetic patients without hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Further quantitative analysis showed that the downregulation of protein kinase CAMP-dependent type II regulatory subunit α, growth factor receptor bound protein 2, and guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(s) in the urine of diabetic patients without hyperlipidemia and hypertension was consistent with the preliminary screening results. In this exploratory study, we detected the expression of insulin signaling pathway related proteins in the urine of diabetic patients without hypertension and hyperlipidemia. protein kinase CAMP-dependent type II regulatory subunit α, growth factor receptor bound protein 2, and guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(s) in the urine of diabetic patients were downregulated, which was associated with diabetes. They may be promising noninvasive biomarkers for monitoring diabetes.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke (IS) is a multifactorial and heterogeneous neurological disorder with high rate of death and long-term impairment. Despite years of studies, there are still no stroke biomarkers for clinical practice, and the molecular mechanisms of stroke remain largely unclear. The high-throughput omics approach provides new avenues for discovering biomarkers of IS and explaining its pathological mechanisms. However, single-omics approaches only provide a limited understanding of the biological pathways of diseases. The integration of multiple omics data means the simultaneous analysis of thousands of genes, RNAs, proteins and metabolites, revealing networks of interactions between multiple molecular levels. Integrated analysis of multi-omics approaches will provide helpful insights into stroke pathogenesis, therapeutic target identification and biomarker discovery. Here, we consider advances in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics and outline their use in discovering the biomarkers and pathological mechanisms of IS. We then delineate strategies for achieving integration at the multi-omics level and discuss how integrative omics and systems biology can contribute to our understanding and management of IS.

Abstract
Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. (Duzhong), a valued traditional herbal medicine in China, is rich in antibacterial proteins and is effective against a variety of plant pathogens. Fusarium oxysporum is a pathogenic fungus that infects plant roots, resulting in the death of the plant. In this study, transcriptomic and proteomic analyses were used to explore the molecular mechanism of E. ulmoides counteracts F. oxysporum infection. Transcriptomic analysis at 24, 48, 72, and 96 h after inoculation identified 17, 591, 1,205, and 625 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), while proteomics identified were 66, 138, 148, 234 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs). Meanwhile, GO and KEGG enrichment analyses of the DEGs and DEPs showed that they were mainly associated with endoplasmic reticulum (ER), fructose and mannose metabolism, protein processing in the ER, type II diabetes mellitus, the ribosome, antigen processing and presentation, and the phagosome. In addition, proteome and transcriptome association analysis and RT-qPCR showed that the response of E. ulmoides to F. oxysporum was likely related to the unfolded protein response (UPR) of the ER pathway. In conclusion, our study provided a theoretical basis for the control of F. oxysporum.

Abstract
Genome determines the unique individualities of organisms; however, proteins play significant roles in the generation of the colorful life forms below water. Aquatic systems are usually complex and multifaceted and can take on unique modifications and adaptations to environmental changes by altering proteins at the cellular level. Proteomics is an essential strategy for exploring aquatic ecosystems due to the diverse involvement of proteins, proteoforms, and their complexity in basic and advanced cellular functions. Proteomics can expedite the analysis of molecular mechanisms underlying biological processes in an aquatic environment. Previous proteomic studies on aquatic environments have mainly focused on pollution assessments, ecotoxicology, their role in the food industry, and extraction and identification of natural products. Aquatic protein biomarkers have been comprehensively reported and are currently extensively applied in the pharmaceutical and medical industries. Cellular- and molecular-level responses of organisms can be used as indicators of environmental changes and stresses. Conversely, environmental changes are expedient in predicting aquatic health and productivity, which are crucial for ecosystem management and conservation. Recent advances in proteomics have contributed to the development of sustainable aquaculture, seafood safety, and high aquatic food production. Proteomic approaches have expanded to other aspects of the aquatic environment, such as protein fingerprinting for species identification. In this review, we encapsulated current proteomic applications and evaluated the potential strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of proteomics for future aquatic environmental studies. The review identifies both pros and cons of aquatic proteomics and projects potential challenges and recommendations. We postulate that proteomics is an emerging, powerful, and integrated omics approach for aquatic environmental studies.

Abstract
It is difficult to overestimate the urgency of the problem of well-timed diagnosis of viral infections. According to the WHO, dozens of outbreaks of viral diseases are recorded annually, both in developing and developed countries. Moreover, the seasonal flu virus alone is capable of infecting up to 20% of the population, even in European countries with a high level of medicine. And the annual number of deaths due to viral infections, according to official statistics, exceeds 600 thousand people around the world. That's why the provision of a reliable and fairly rapid diagnosis of viruses, along with subsequent therapy, makes a significant contribution to reducing the incidence of mortality. Despite the fact that PCR-based methods currently remain the most common method for identifying viruses in clinical practice, as recent experience shows, in addition to the already known disadvantages, in the event of large outbreaks, such test systems may simply not be in the required amount. In this regard, it is necessary to supplement and improve the existing tools for identification and research of clinically significant viruses. The MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry method combines a degree of accuracy and versatility, sufficient both for the identification of clinical strains isolated from patients, and for the study of the phenotypic properties of viruses in research laboratories and centers. This article presents and summarizes the main data on the existing or potential application of the method of time-of-flight mass spectrometry with matrix-associated laser desorption / ionization for the identification or study of viruses.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between the characteristics of gut microbiome and the effect of medical nutrition therapy (MNT) on glycemic control in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Seventy-four pregnant women newly diagnosed with GDM received MNT for one-week. The effect of glycemic control was evaluated by fasting and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose; and stool samples of pregnant women were collected to detect the gut microbiome before and after MNT. We used a nested case-control study design, with pregnant women with GDM who did not meet glycemic standards after MNT as the ineffective group and those with an age difference of ≤5 years, matched for pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) 1:1, and meeting glycemic control criteria as the effective group. Comparison of the gut microbiome characteristics before MNT showed that the ineffective group was enriched in Desulfovibrio, Aeromonadales, Leuconostocaceae, Weissella, Prevotella, Bacillales_Incertae Sedis XI, Gemella and Bacillales, while the effective group was enriched in Roseburia, Clostridium, Bifidobacterium, Bifidobacteriales, Bifidobacteriaceae, Holdemania and Proteus. After treatment, the effective group was enriched in Bifidobacterium and Actinomycete, while the ineffective group was enriched in Holdemania, Proteus, Carnobacteriaceae and Granulicatella. In conclusion, the decrease in the abundance of characteristic gut microbiome positively correlated with blood glucose may be a factor influencing the poor hypoglycemic effect of MNT in pregnant women with GDM. Abundance of more characteristic gut microbiome negatively correlated with blood glucose could help control blood glucose in pregnant women with GDM.

Abstract
Abstract:
Hypothetical proteins (HPs) are non-predicted sequences that are identified only by open reading frames in sequenced genomes but their protein products remain uncharacterized by any experimental means. The genome of every species consists of HPs that are involved in various cellular processes and signaling pathways. Annotation of HPs is important as they play a key role in disease mechanisms, drug designing, vaccine production, antibiotic production, and host adaptation. In the case of bacteria, 25-50% of the genome comprises of HPs, which are involved in metabolic pathways and pathogenesis. The characterization of bacterial HPs helps to identify virulent proteins that are involved in pathogenesis. This can be done using in-silico studies, which provide sequence analogs, physiochemical properties, cellular or subcellular localization, structure and function validation, and protein-protein interactions. The most diverse types of virulent proteins are exotoxins, endotoxins, and adherent virulent factors that are encoded by virulent genes present on the chromosomal DNA of the bacteria. This review evaluates virulent HPs of pathogenic bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Chlamydia trachomatis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Yersinia pestis. The potential of these HPs as a drug target in bacteria-caused infectious diseases along with the mode of action and treatment approaches have been discussed.

Applied Proteomics in 'One Health'. Proteomes 2021; 9:proteomes9030031. [PMID: 34208880 PMCID: PMC8293331 DOI: 10.3390/proteomes9030031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2021] [Revised: 06/24/2021] [Accepted: 06/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
‘One Health’ summarises the idea that human health and animal health are interdependent and bound to the health of ecosystems. The purpose of proteomics methodologies and studies is to determine proteins present in samples of interest and to quantify changes in protein expression during pathological conditions. The objectives of this paper are to review the application of proteomics technologies within the One Health concept and to appraise their role in the elucidation of diseases and situations relevant to One Health. The paper develops in three sections. Proteomics Applications in Zoonotic Infections part discusses proteomics applications in zoonotic infections and explores the use of proteomics for studying pathogenetic pathways, transmission dynamics, diagnostic biomarkers and novel vaccines in prion, viral, bacterial, protozoan and metazoan zoonotic infections. Proteomics Applications in Antibiotic Resistance part discusses proteomics applications in mechanisms of resistance development and discovery of novel treatments for antibiotic resistance. Proteomics Applications in Food Safety part discusses the detection of allergens, exposure of adulteration, identification of pathogens and toxins, study of product traits and characterisation of proteins in food safety. Sensitive analysis of proteins, including low-abundant ones in complex biological samples, will be achieved in the future, thus enabling implementation of targeted proteomics in clinical settings, shedding light on biomarker research and promoting the One Health concept.

Abstract
Nucleotide-binding proteins play important roles in a variety of biological processes. While ATP- and GTP-binding proteins have been well studied, the systematical identification of UTP-interacting proteins remains under investigated. Here, we developed a chemical proteomic strategy using a biotinylated UTP affinity probe coupled with liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method to enrich, identify and quantify UTP-binding proteins at the entire proteome scale. By performing labeling reactions with high vs low concentrations of UTP probe (100 and 10 μM) or with the UTP probe in the presence of free UTP in stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) experiments, we identified more than 70 potential UTP-binding proteins which are involved in multiple cellular processes, such as translational elongation and protein folding. We also validated the UTP-binding capability of the cytoskeletal protein ACTB by using cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA). Together, we performed a high-throughput chemical proteomics-based analysis to identify, for the first time, UTP-binding proteins in human proteome, which should be applicable for the identification and quantification of UTP-binding proteins in other organisms.

Abstract
Ticks and tick transmitted infectious agents are increasing global public health threats due to increasing abundance, expanding geographic ranges of vectors and pathogens, and emerging tick-borne infectious agents. Greater understanding of tick, host, and pathogen interactions will contribute to development of novel tick control and disease prevention strategies. Tick-borne pathogens adapt in multiple ways to very different tick and vertebrate host environments and defenses. Ticks effectively pharmacomodulate by its saliva host innate and adaptive immune defenses. In this review, we examine the idea that successful synergy between tick and tick-borne pathogen results in host immune tolerance that facilitates successful tick infection and feeding, creates a favorable site for pathogen introduction, modulates cutaneous and systemic immune defenses to establish infection, and contributes to successful long-term infection. Tick, host, and pathogen elements examined here include interaction of tick innate immunity and microbiome with tick-borne pathogens; tick modulation of host cutaneous defenses prior to pathogen transmission; how tick and pathogen target vertebrate host defenses that lead to different modes of interaction and host infection status (reservoir, incompetent, resistant, clinically ill); tick saliva bioactive molecules as important factors in determining those pathogens for which the tick is a competent vector; and, the need for translational studies to advance this field of study. Gaps in our understanding of these relationships are identified, that if successfully addressed, can advance the development of strategies to successfully disrupt both tick feeding and pathogen transmission.

Abstract
Rapid and reliable pathogen identification is compulsory to confirm ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in order to initiate appropriate antibiotic treatment. In the present proof of concept, the effectiveness of rapid microorganism identification with a targeted bottom-up proteomics approach was investigated in endotracheal aspirate (ETA) samples of VAP patients. To do so, a prototype selected-reaction monitoring (SRM)-based assay was developed on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer tracking proteotypic peptide surrogates of bacterial proteomes. Through the concurrent monitoring of 97 species-specific peptides, this preliminary assay was dimensioned to characterize the occurrence of six most frequent bacterial species responsible for over more than 65% of VAP. Assay performance was subsequently evaluated by analyzing early and regular 37 ETA samples collected from 15 patients. Twenty-five samples were above the significant threshold of 105 CFU/mL and five samples showed mixed infections (both pathogens ≥ 105 CFU/mL). The targeted proteomics assay showed 100% specificity for Acinetobacter baumannii, Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. No false bacterial identification was reported and no interference was detected arising from the commensal flora. The overall species identification sensitivity was 19/25 (76%) and was higher at the patient level (84.6%). This successful proof of concept provides a rational to broaden the panel of bacteria for further clinical evaluation.

Abstract
Omic technologies have enabled the complete readout of the molecular state of a cell at different biological scales. In principle, the combination of multiple omic data types can provide an integrated view of the entire biological system. This integration requires appropriate models in a systems biology approach. Here, genome-scale models (GEMs) are focused upon as one computational systems biology approach for interpreting and integrating multi-omic data. GEMs convert the reactions (related to metabolism, transcription, and translation) that occur in an organism to a mathematical formulation that can be modeled using optimization principles. A variety of genome-scale modeling methods used to interpret multiple omic data types, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and meta-omics are reviewed. The ability to interpret omics in the context of biological systems has yielded important findings for human health, environmental biotechnology, bioenergy, and metabolic engineering. The authors find that concurrent with advancements in omic technologies, genome-scale modeling methods are also expanding to enable better interpretation of omic data. Therefore, continued synthesis of valuable knowledge, through the integration of omic data with GEMs, are expected.

Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that causes a variety of infectious diseases, including urinary tract infections, bacteremia, pneumonia, and liver abscesses. With the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvKP) strains, the rapid spread of these clinical strains in geography is particularly worrying. However, the detailed mechanisms of virulence and antibiotic resistance in K. pneumoniae are still not very clear. Therefore, studying and elucidating the pathogenic mechanisms and drug resistance mechanism of K. pneumoniae infection are important parts of current medical research. In this paper, we systematically summarized the virulence, biofilm, and antibiotic tolerance mechanisms of K. pneumoniae, and explored the application of whole genome sequencing and global proteomics, which will provide new clues for clinical treatment of K. pneumoniae.

Abstract
Introduction Escherichia coli strains possess two survival strategies to endure lethal antibiotic exposure including antibiotic resistance and persistence, in which persistence can contribute to the emergence of antibiotic resistance and increasing the risk of multidrug resistance. Using high-throughput proteomics for the comprehensive understanding of mechanisms of antibiotic resistance and persistence is an effective strategy for development of target-based anti-bacterial therapies. Areas covered In this review, we summarize a comprehensive proteomic perspective of antibiotic resistance and persistence in E. coli, and overview of anti-antibiotic resistance and anti-persister molecules and strategies for the development of potential therapies. Expert opinion Proteomics allows us to globally identify the critical proteins and pathways involved in antibiotic resistance and persistence. Advancements in methodologies of proteomics and multi-omic strategies are required to overcome the limitations of proteomics and better understand mechanisms of antibiotic resistance and persistence in E. coli, and to open the possibility for identification of new targets for alternative strategies in therapeutics.

Abstract
Sequences of the genomes of all-important bacterial pathogens of man, plants, and animals have been completed. Still, it is not enough to achieve complete information of all the mechanisms controlling the biological processes of an organism. Along with all advances in different proteomics technologies, proteomics has completed our knowledge of biological processes all around the world. Proteomics is a valuable technique to explain the complement of proteins in any organism. One of the fields that has been notably benefited from other systems approaches is bacterial pathogenesis. An emerging field is to use proteomics to examine the infectious agents in terms of, among many, the response the host and pathogen to the infection process, which leads to a deeper knowledge of the mechanisms of bacterial virulence. This trend also enables us to identify quantitative measurements for proteins extracted from microorganisms. The present review study is an attempt to summarize a variety of different proteomic techniques and advances. The significant applications in bacterial pathogenesis studies are also covered. Moreover, the areas where proteomics may lead the future studies are introduced.

Abstract
Introduction: Serratia marcescens, an opportunistic human pathogen, is reported as an important cause of nosocomial infection and outbreaks. Although the genome of S. marcescens (ATCC 13880) was completely sequenced by 2014, there are no studies on the proteomic profile of the organism. The objective of the present study is to analyze the protein profile of S. marcescens (ATCC 13880) using a high resolution mass spectrometry (MS). Methods: Serratia marcescens ATCC 13880 strain was grown in Luria-Bertani broth and the protein extracted was subjected to trypsin digestion, followed by basic reverse phase liquid chromatography fractionation. The peptide fractions were then analysed using Orbitrap Fusion Mass Spectrometry and the raw MS data were processed in Proteome Discoverer software. Results: The proteomic analysis identified 15 009 unique peptides mapping to 2541 unique protein groups, which corresponds to approximately 54% of the computationally predicted protein-coding genes. Bioinformatic analysis of these identified proteins showed their involvement in biological processes such as cell wall organization, chaperone-mediated protein folding and ATP binding. Pathway analysis revealed that some of these proteins are associated with bacterial chemotaxis and beta-lactam resistance pathway. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first high-throughput proteomics study of S. marcescens (ATCC 13880). These novel observations provide a crucial baseline molecular profile of the S. marcescens proteome which will prove to be helpful for the future research in understanding the host-pathogen interactions during infection, elucidating the mechanism of multidrug resistance, and developing novel diagnostic markers or vaccine for the disease.

Abstract
The skin plays a key role in vector-borne diseases because it is the site where the arthropod coinoculates pathogens and its saliva. Lyme borreliosis, particularly well investigated in this context, is a multisystemic infectious disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and transmitted by the hard tick Ixodes. Numerous in vitro studies were conducted to better understand the role of specific skin cells and tick saliva in host defense, vector feeding, and pathogen transmission. The skin was also evidenced in various animal models as the site of bacterial multiplication and persistence. We present the achievements in this field as well as the gaps that impede comprehensive knowledge of the disease pathophysiology and the development of efficient diagnostic tools and vaccines in humans.

Abstract
Background At present, phenotypic growth inhibition techniques are used in routine diagnostic microbiology to determine antimicrobial resistance of bacteria. Molecular techniques such as PCR are often used for confirmation but are indirect as they detect particular resistance genes. A direct technique would be able to detect the proteins of the resistance mechanism itself. In the present study targeted high resolution mass spectrometry assay was developed for the simultaneous detection of KPC, OXA-48-like, NDM, and VIM carbapenemases. Methods Carbapenemase specific target peptides were defined by comparing available sequences in GenBank. Selected peptide sequences were validated using 62 Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli isolates containing: 16 KPC, 21 OXA-48-like, 16 NDM, 13 VIM genes, and 21 carbapenemase negative isolates. Results For each carbapenemase, two candidate peptides were validated. Method validation was performed in a blinded manner for all 83 isolates. All carbapenemases were detected. The majority was detected by both target peptides. All target peptides were 100% specific in the tested isolates and no peptide carry-over was detected. Conclusion The applied targeted bottom-up mass spectrometry technique is able to accurately detect the four most prevalent carbapenemases in a single analysis.
