Abstract
Thiol redox proteins and low molecular mass thiols have essential functions in maintaining cellular redox balance in almost all living organisms. In the pathogenic bacterium Leptospira interrogans, several redox components have been described, namely, typical 2-Cys peroxiredoxin, a functional thioredoxin system, glutathione synthesis pathway, and methionine sulfoxide reductases. However, until now, information about proteins linked to GSH metabolism has not been reported in this pathogen. Glutaredoxins (Grxs) are GSH-dependent oxidoreductases that regulate and maintain the cellular redox state together with thioredoxins. This work deals with recombinant production at a high purity level, biochemical characterization, and detailed kinetic and structural study of the two Grxs (Lin1CGrx and Lin2CGrx) identified in L. interrogans serovar Copenhageni strain Fiocruz L1-130. Both recombinant LinGrxs exhibited the classical in vitro GSH-dependent 2-hydroxyethyl disulfide and dehydroascorbate reductase activity. Strikingly, we found that Lin2CGrx could serve as a substrate of methionine sulfoxide reductases A1 and B from L. interrogans. Distinctively, only recombinant Lin1CGrx contained a [2Fe2S] cluster confirming a homodimeric structure. The functionality of both LinGrxs was assessed by yeast complementation in null grx mutants, and both isoforms were able to rescue the mutant phenotype. Finally, our data suggest that protein glutathionylation as a post-translational modification process is present in L. interrogans. As a whole, our results support the occurrence of two new redox actors linked to GSH metabolism and iron homeostasis in L. interrogans.

Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the main causes of nosocomial infections. Increasing numbers of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii cases have been reported in recent years, but its antibiotic resistance mechanism remains unclear. We studied 9 multidrug-resistant (MDR) and 10 drug-susceptible Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates using Label free, TMT labeling approach and glycoproteomics analysis to identify proteins related to drug resistance. Our results showed that 164 proteins exhibited different expressions between MDR and drug-susceptible isolates. These differential proteins can be classified into six groups: a. proteins related to antibiotic resistance, b. membrane proteins, membrane transporters and proteins related to membrane formation, c. Stress response-related proteins, d. proteins related to gene expression and protein translation, e. metabolism-related proteins, f. proteins with unknown function or other functions containing biofilm formation and virulence. In addition, we verified seven proteins at the transcription level in eight clinical isolates by using quantitative RT-PCR. Results showed that four of the selected proteins have positive correlations with the protein level. This study provided an insight into the mechanism of antibiotic resistance of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.

Towards the competent conformation for catalysis in the ferredoxin-NADP + reductase from the Brucella ovis pathogen. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-BIOENERGETICS 2019; 1860:148058. [PMID: 31394095 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbabio.2019.148058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2019] [Revised: 07/19/2019] [Accepted: 08/02/2019] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
Brucella ovis encodes a bacterial subclass 1 ferredoxin-NADP(H) reductase (BoFPR) that, by similarity with other FPRs, is expected either to deliver electrons from NADPH to the redox-based metabolism and/or to oxidize NADPH to regulate the soxRS regulon that protects bacteria against oxidative damage. Such potential roles for the pathogen survival under infection conditions make of interest to understand and to act on the BoFPR mechanism. Here, we investigate the NADP+/H interaction and NADPH oxidation by hydride transfer (HT) to BoFPR. Crystal structures of BoFPR in free and in complex with NADP+ hardly differ. The latter shows binding of the NADP+ adenosine moiety, while its redox-reactive nicotinamide protrudes towards the solvent. Nonetheless, pre-steady-state kinetics show formation of a charge-transfer complex (CTC-1) prior to the hydride transfer, as well as conversion of CTC-1 into a second charge-transfer complex (CTC-2) concomitantly with the HT event. Thus, during catalysis nicotinamide and flavin reacting rings stack. Kinetic data also identify the HT itself as the rate limiting step in the reduction of BoFPR by NADPH, as well as product release limiting the overall reaction. Using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations with a thermal effect approach we are able to visualise a potential transient catalytically competent interaction of the reacting rings. Simulations indicate that the architecture of the FAD folded conformation in BoFPR might be key in catalysis, pointing to its adenine as an element to orient the reactive atoms in conformations competent for HT.
