Unraveling the adaptive strategies of Mycoplasma hominis through proteogenomic profiling of clinical isolates. Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2024; 14:1398706. [PMID: 38756231 PMCID: PMC11096450 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2024.1398706] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Mycoplasma hominis (M. hominis) belongs to the class Mollicutes, characterized by a very small genome size, reduction of metabolic pathways, including transcription factors, and the absence of a cell wall. Despite this, they adapt well not only to specific niches within the host organism but can also spread throughout the body, colonizing various organs and tissues. The adaptation mechanisms of M. hominis, as well as their regulatory pathways, are poorly understood. It is known that, when adapting to adverse conditions, Mycoplasmas can undergo phenotypic switches that may persist for several generations. Methods To investigate the adaptive properties of M. hominis related to survival in the host, we conducted a comparative phenotypic and proteogenomic analysis of eight clinical isolates of M. hominis obtained from patients with urogenital infections and the laboratory strain H-34. Results We have shown that clinical isolates differ in phenotypic features from the laboratory strain, form biofilms more effectively and show resistance to ofloxacin. The comparative proteogenomic analysis revealed that, unlike the laboratory strain, the clinical isolates possess several features related to stress survival: they switch carbon metabolism, activating the energetically least advantageous pathway of nucleoside utilization, which allows slowing down cellular processes and transitioning to a starvation state; they reconfigure the repertoire of membrane proteins; they have integrative conjugative elements in their genomes, which are key mediators of horizontal gene transfer. The upregulation of the methylating subunit of the restriction-modification (RM) system type I and the additional components of RM systems found in clinical isolates suggest that DNA methylation may play a role in regulating the adaptation mechanisms of M. hominis in the host organism. It has been shown that based on the proteogenomic profile, namely the genome sequence, protein content, composition of the RM systems and additional subunits HsdM, HsdS and HsdR, composition and number of transposable elements, as well as the sequence of the main variable antigen Vaa, we can divide clinical isolates into two phenotypes: typical colonies (TC), which have a high growth rate, and atypical (aTC) mini-colonies, which have a slow growth rate and exhibit properties similar to persisters. Discussion We believe that the key mechanism of adaptation of M. hominis in the host is phenotypic restructuring, leading to a slowing down cellular processes and the formation of small atypical colonies. This is due to a switch in carbon metabolism and activation the pathway of nucleoside utilization. We hypothesize that DNA methylation may play a role in regulating this switch.

Abstract
Mycoplasma belong to the genus Mollicutes and are notable for their small genome sizes (500-1300 kb) and limited biosynthetic capabilities. They exhibit pathogenicity by invading various cell types to survive as intracellular pathogens. Adhesion is a crucial prerequisite for successful invasion and is orchestrated by the interplay between mycoplasma surface adhesins and specific receptors on the host cell membrane. Invasion relies heavily on clathrin- and caveolae-mediated internalization, accompanied by multiple activated kinases, cytoskeletal rearrangement, and a myriad of morphological alterations, such as membrane invagination, nuclear hypertrophy and aggregation, cytoplasmic edema, and vacuolization. Once mycoplasma successfully invade host cells, they establish resilient sanctuaries in vesicles, cytoplasm, perinuclear regions, and the nucleus, wherein specific environmental conditions favor long-term survival. Although lysosomal degradation and autophagy can eliminate most invading mycoplasmas, some viable bacteria can be released into the extracellular environment via exocytosis, a crucial factor in the prolonging infection persistence. This review explores the intricate mechanisms by which mycoplasma invades host cells and perpetuates their elusive survival, with the aim of highlighting the challenge of eradicating this enigmatic bacterium.

Abstract
Mycoplasma gallisepticum is one of the smallest self-replicating organisms. It causes chronic respiratory disease, leading to significant economic losses in poultry industry. Following M. gallisepticum invasion, the pathogen can persist in the host owing to its immune evasion, resulting in long-term chronic infection. The strategies of immune evasion by mycoplasmas are very complex and recent research has unraveled these sophisticated mechanisms. The antigens of M. gallisepticum exhibit high-frequency changes in size and expression cycle, allowing them to evade the activation of the host humoral immune response. M. gallisepticum can invade non-phagocytic chicken cells and also regulate microRNAs to modulate cell proliferation, inflammation, and apoptosis in tracheal epithelial cells during the disease process. M. gallisepticum has been shown to transiently activate the inflammatory response and then inhibit it by suppressing key inflammatory mediators, avoiding being cleared. The regulation and activation of immune cells are important for host response against mycoplasma infection. However, M. gallisepticum has been shown to interfere with the functions of macrophages and lymphocytes, compromising their defense capabilities. In addition, the pathogen can cause immunological damage to organs by inducing an inflammatory response, cell apoptosis, and oxidative stress, leading to immunosuppression in the host. This review comprehensively summarizes these evasion tactics employed by M. gallisepticum, providing valuable insights into better prevention and control of mycoplasma infection.

Abstract
The epigenetics of bacteria, and bacteria with a reduced genome in particular, is of great interest, but is still poorly understood. Mycoplasma gallisepticum, a representative of the class Mollicutes, is an excellent model of a minimal cell because of its reduced genome size, lack of a cell wall, and primitive cell organization. In this study we investigated DNA modifications of the model object Mycoplasma gallisepticum and their roles. We identified DNA modifications and methylation motifs in M. gallisepticum S6 at the genome level using single molecule real time (SMRT) sequencing. Only the ANCNNNNCCT methylation motif was found in the M. gallisepticum S6 genome. The studied bacteria have one functional system for DNA modifications, the Type I restriction-modification (RM) system, MgaS6I. We characterized its activity, affinity, protection and epigenetic functions. We demonstrated the protective effects of this RM system. A common epigenetic signal for bacteria is the m6A modification we found, which can cause changes in DNA-protein interactions and affect the cell phenotype. Native methylation sites are underrepresented in promoter regions and located only near the -35 box of the promoter, which does not have a significant effect on gene expression in mycoplasmas. To study the epigenetics effect of m6A for genome-reduced bacteria, we constructed a series of M. gallisepticum strains expressing EGFP under promoters with the methylation motifs in their different elements. We demonstrated that m6A modifications of the promoter located only in the -10-box affected gene expression and downregulated the expression of the corresponding gene.

Gene Silencing through CRISPR Interference in Mycoplasmas. Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10061159.

Abstract
Mycoplasmas are pathogenic, genome-reduced bacteria. The development of such fields of science as system and synthetic biology is closely associated with them. Despite intensive research of different representatives of this genus, genetic manipulations remain challenging in mycoplasmas. Here we demonstrate a single-plasmid transposon-based CRISPRi system for the repression of gene expression in mycoplasmas. We show that selected expression determinants provide a level of dCas9 that does not lead to a significant slow-down of mycoplasma growth. For the first time we describe the proteomic response of genome-reduced bacteria to the expression of exogenous dcas9. The functionality of the resulting vector is confirmed by targeting the three genes coding transcription factors-fur, essential spxA, whiA, and histone-like protein hup1 in Mycoplasma gallisepticum. As a result, the expression level of each gene was decreased tenfold and influenced the mRNA level of predicted targets of transcription factors. To illustrate the versatility of this vector, we performed a knockdown of metabolic genes in a representative member of another cluster of the Mycoplasma genus-Mycoplasma hominis. The developed CRISPRi system is a powerful tool to discover the functioning of genes that are essential, decipher regulatory networks and that can help to identify novel drug targets to control Mycoplasma infections.

Abstract
Mycoplasmas as economically important and pantropic pathogens can cause similar clinical diseases in different hosts by eluding host defense and establishing their niches despite their limited metabolic capacities. Besides, enormous undiscovered virulence has a fundamental role in the pathogenesis of pathogenic mycoplasmas. On the other hand, they are host-specific pathogens with some highly pathogenic members that can colonize a vast number of habitats. Reshuffling mycoplasmas genetic information and evolving rapidly is a way to avoid their host's immune system. However, currently, only a few control measures exist against some mycoplasmosis which are far from satisfaction. This review aimed to provide an updated insight into the state of mycoplasmas as pathogens by summarizing and analyzing the comprehensive progress, current challenge, and future perspectives of mycoplasmas. It covers clinical implications of mycoplasmas in humans and domestic and wild animals, virulence-related factors, the process of gene transfer and its crucial prospects, the current application and future perspectives of nanotechnology for diagnosing and curing mycoplasmosis, Mycoplasma vaccination, and protective immunity. Several questions remain unanswered and are recommended to pay close attention to. The findings would be helpful to develop new strategies for basic and applied research on mycoplasmas and facilitate the control of mycoplasmosis for humans and various species of animals.

Abstract
Mycoplasma gallisepticum belongs to the class Mollicutes and induces severe chronic respiratory disease in chickens. It lacks the cell wall and contains a very small genome and, accordingly, a reduced set of regulatory proteins. It is assumed that one of the regulatory mechanisms in mycoplasmas may be the dynamics of the spatial organization of the chromosome. M. gallisepticum has only two known nucleoid-associated (NAP) histone-like proteins (Hup_1 and Hup_2). To search for new potential NAP that may play a role in the infection process, we isolated nucleoid fractions from M. gallisepticum cells before and after infection of HD3 chicken erythroblast cell line and performed a comparative proteomic analysis of these fractions. We identified several potential NAP that included the components of the terminal organelle and adhesion, VlhA antigen, NADH oxidase, and PykF pyruvate kinase.

Abstract
Respiratory pathogens are a health threat for poultry. Co-infections lead to the exacerbation of clinical symptoms and lesions. Mycoplasma gallisepticum (M. gallispeticum) and Avian Metapneumovirus (AMPV) are two avian respiratory pathogens that co-circulate worldwide. The knowledge about the host-pathogen interaction of M. gallispeticum and AMPV in the chicken respiratory tract is limited. We aimed to investigate how co-infections affect the pathogenesis of the respiratory disease and whether the order of invading pathogens leads to changes in host-pathogen interaction. We used chicken tracheal organ cultures (TOC) to investigate pathogen invasion and replication, lesion development, and selected innate immune responses, such as interferon (IFN) α, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and IFNλ mRNA expression levels. We performed mono-inoculations (AMPV or M. gallispeticum) or dual-inoculations in two orders with a 24-h interval between the first and second pathogen. Dual-inoculations compared to mono-inoculations resulted in more severe host reactions. Pre-infection with AMPV followed by M. gallispeticum resulted in prolonged viral replication, more significant innate immune responses, and lesions (p < 0.05). AMPV as the secondary pathogen impaired the bacterial attachment process. Consequently, the M. gallispeticum replication was delayed, the innate immune response was less pronounced, and lesions appeared later. Our results suggest a competing process in co-infections and offer new insights in disease processes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG), a notorious avian pathogen, leads to considerable economic losses in the poultry industry. MG infection is characterized by severe, uncontrollable inflammation and host DNA damage. Micro ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) have emerged as important regulators in microbial pathogenesis. However, the role of miRNAs in MG infection is poorly characterized. In this study, we validated the functional roles of gga-miR-142-3p. METHODS The relative expression of gga-miR-142-3p in the lungs of the MG-infected chicken embryos and the MG-infected chicken embryonic fibroblast cell line (DF-1) was determined by reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR analysis. Bioinformatics database was used to analysis the target gene of gga-miR-142-3p. The luciferase reporter assay as well as gene expression analysis were conducted to validate the target gene. To further explore the biological functions of gga-miR-142-3p upon MG infection, the cell proliferation was quantified using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). Meanwhile, cell cycle analysis and apoptosis were measured using a flow cytometer. RESULTS gga-miR-142-3p was significantly upregulated in both MG-infected chicken-embryo lungs and the DF-1 cells. gga-miR-142-3p over expression significantly downregulated the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1β, interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha after MG infection. Meanwhile, gga-miR-142-3p enhanced the host defense against MG infection by facilitating cell proliferation, promoting cell progression and inhibiting cell apoptosis. Interestingly, TAB2 knockdown groups show similar results, whereas, TAB2 over-expression groups and gga-miR-142-3p inhibitor groups had thoroughly opposite results. The expression of p-p65 in nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and p-p38 in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway was decreased when gga-miR-142-3p was over-expressed. CONCLUSION Upon MG infection, upregulation of gga-miR-142-3p alleviates inflammation by negatively regulating the signaling pathways of NF-κB and MAPKs by targeting TAB2 and facilitates cell proliferation by inhibiting cell apoptosis and promoting cell cycle progression to defend against MG infection.

Abstract
Culturing of Mycoplasma hominis in the presence of arginine and thymidine and subsequent comparative proteomic analysis of cells showed that, in addition to the already known arginine dihydrolase pathway of energy metabolism, M. hominis can utilize deoxyribose phosphates formed as a result of catabolism of pyrimidine nucleosides. In this case, a sharp deceleration of cell growth was observed. This allows M. hominis to occupy new niches in the host organism and survive under competitive conditions when the main sources of energy are unavailable.

Abstract
Mycoplasma gallisepticum (M. gallisepticum) belongs to the class of Mollicutes. It causes chronic respiratory disease in avian species. It is characterized by lack of cell wall and reduced genome size. As a result of genome reduction, M. gallisepticum has a limited variety of DNA-binding proteins (DBP) and transcription factors. Consequently, the diversity of DNA-binding proteins and transcription factors (TF) in M. gallisepticum is limited in comparison with related bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis. Studies have shown, however, that mycoplasmas demonstrate a wide range of differential expression of genes in response to various stress factors, which promotes effective adaptation to unfavorable conditions. We assume that in the case of mycoplasmas, which are characterized by a combination of the reduction of known gene expression regulation systems and a high adaptive potential, the coordination of gene expression can be provided due to local changes in the structure and spatial organization of the chromosome. The study of the dynamic changes of the proteomic profile of M. gallisepticum nucleoid may assist in revealing its mechanisms of functioning, regulation of chromosome organization and stress adaptation including its changes upon invasion of the host cells.

Abstract
Previous studies mainly focused on the inflammatory responses caused by Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) in the chicken respiratory mucosa, setting the stage for chronic infection and disease manifestation. However, the underlying mechanism is still unknown. Spleen and thymus are important immune organs, which play a critical role in eliciting protective immune responses to ensure healing process and elimination of harmful stimuli. In the present study, the effects of MG infection on chicken spleen and thymus were investigated. The results showed that MG infection reduced antioxidant activities and induced oxidative stress in the spleen and thymus tissues. Histological examination showed normal morphology of chicken spleen and thymus in control group compared to MG infection group. In contrast, increased number of necrotic and nuclear debris, lymphocytolysis, prominent reticuloepithelial cells and loose arrangement of cells in the spleen and thymus were seen in MG-infected chickens. Ultrastructural analysis indicated nuclear and mitochondrial damage including mitochondrial swelling, deformation of nuclear membrane and congestion of chromatin material in MG infection group. The mRNA and protein expression of apoptosis-related genes were significantly upregulated in the spleen and thymus of MG-infected chickens compared to control group. Moreover, Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick endlabeling (TUNEL) assay results suggested that MG infection increased the number of positive-stained nuclei in the spleen and thymus. Meanwhile, the mRNA expression of mitochondrial dynamics in the spleen and thymus were altered by MG infection. In summary, these results showed that MG induced oxidative stress and apoptosis, which could be the possible causes associated with the immune damage, structural impairment and disease pathogenesis of MG infection.

Abstract
Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) induces a dysregulated immune response in the lungs and air ways of poultry. However, the mechanism of MG-induced immune dysregulation is still not completely understood. In the present study, the effect of MG-infection on chicken bursa of fabricius (BOF) is investigated. Histopathology, electron microscopy, TUNEL assay, qRT-PCR and western blot were employed to examine the hallmarks of oxidative stress and apoptosis. The data revealed that MG-infection induced oxidative stress and decreased antioxidant responses in BOF tissues compared to control group. Histopathological study showed pathological changes including reduction in lymphocytes and increased inflammatory cell infiltration in MG-infection group. Ultrastructural assessment represents obvious signs of apoptosis such as mitochondrial swelling, shrinkage of nuclear membrane and fragmentation of nucleus. Increased cytokine activities were observed in MG-infection group compared to control group. Meanwhile, the mRNA and protein expression level of apoptosis-related genes were significantly (p < 0.05) upregulated in MG-infection group. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL) assay further confirmed that MG induced apoptosis in BOF tissues as TUNEL-stained positive nuclei were remarkably increased in MG-infection group. In addition, MG-infection significantly reduced the number of CD8+ lymphocytes in chicken BOF at day 7. Moreover, bacterial load significantly increased at day 3 and day 7 in MG-infection group compared to control group. These results suggested that MG-infection impaired the structural integrity, induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in chicken BOF tissues, which could be the possible causes of damage to immune function in chicken BOF.

Abstract
Novel disease emergence is often associated with changes in pathogen traits that enable pathogen colonisation, persistence and transmission in the novel host environment. While understanding the mechanisms underlying disease emergence is likely to have critical implications for preventing infectious outbreaks, such knowledge is often based on studies of viral pathogens, despite the fact that bacterial pathogens may exhibit very different life histories. Here, we investigate the ability of epizootic outbreak strains of the bacterial pathogen, Mycoplasma gallisepticum, which jumped from poultry into North American house finches (Haemorhous mexicanus), to interact with model avian cells. We found that house finch epizootic outbreak strains of M. gallisepticum displayed a greater ability to adhere to, invade, persist within and exit from cultured chicken embryonic fibroblasts, than the reference virulent (R_low) and attenuated (R_high) poultry strains. Furthermore, unlike the poultry strains, the house finch epizootic outbreak strain HF_1994 displayed a striking lack of cytotoxicity, even exerting a cytoprotective effect on avian cells. Our results suggest that, at epizootic outbreak in house finches, M. gallisepticum was particularly adept at using the intra-cellular environment, which may have facilitated colonisation, dissemination and immune evasion within the novel finch host. Whether this high-invasion phenotype is similarly displayed in interactions with house finch cells, and whether it contributed to the success of the host shift, remains to be determined.

Abstract
Bacteria colonizing human intestine adhere to the gut mucosa and avoid the innate immune system. We previously demonstrated that Escherichia coli isolates can adsorb mucin from a diluted solution in vitro. Here, we evaluated the effect of mucin adsorption by E. coli cells on neutrophil activation in vitro. Activation was evaluated based on the detection of reactive oxygen species production by a chemiluminescent reaction (ChL), observation of morphological alterations in neutrophils and detection of exocytosis of myeloperoxidase and lactoferrin. We report that mucin adsorbed by cells of SharL1 isolate from Crohn's disease patient's inflamed ileum suppressed the potential for the activation of neutrophils in whole blood. Also, the binding of plasma complement proteins and immunoglobulins to the bacteria was reduced. Desialylated mucin, despite having the same adsorption efficiency to bacteria, had no effect on the blood ChL response. The effect of mucin suggests that it shields epitopes that interact with neutrophils and plasma proteins on the bacterial outer membrane. Potential candidates for these epitopes were identified among the proteins within the bacterial outer membrane fraction by 2D‐PAGE, fluorescent mucin binding on a blot and HPLC‐MS/MS. In vitro, the following proteins demonstrated mucin adsorption: outer membrane porins (OmpA, OmpC, OmpD and OmpF), adhesin OmpX, the membrane assembly factor OmpW, cobalamine transporter, ferrum uptake protein and the elongation factor Ef Tu‐1. In addition to their other functions, these proteins are known to be bacterial surface antigens. Therefore, the shielding of epitopes by mucin may affect the dynamics and intensity of an immune response.

Abstract
Crohn's disease (CD) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IDB). The endoscopic picture of Crohn's disease includes thickened submucosa, transmural inflammation, fissuring ulceration, and non-caseating granulomas. Intestinal microbiome dysbiosis has been described systematically in patients with IBD. In recent decades it was detailed that Escherichia coli, especially adherent-invasive E. coli (AIEC) pathotype, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of IBD, including Crohn's disease (Palmela, et al., 2018). In comparison with commensal strains of E. coli, AIEC strains have a large adhesive-invasive potential therefore its surface composition is of great interest. We presented a dataset of the membrane proteins of strains isolated from patients with Crohn's disease. From the set of Escherichia coli isolated from Crohn's disease patients [2] we chose three isolates with strongest AIEC pathotype. We performed proteome-wide LC-MS analysis of membrane fraction of this isolates after invasion or adhesion-invasion to human intestinal CaCo-2 cell line and prior to this (control). The data including LC-MS/MS raw files and exported MaxQuant search results with fasta files were deposited to the PRIDE repository project accession PXD014250.

Abstract
One of the dysbioses often observed in Crohn's disease (CD) patients is an increased abundance of Escherichia coli (10–100 fold compared to healthy individuals) (Gevers et al., 2014). The data reported is a large-scale proteome profile for E. coli isolates collected from CD patients and healthy individuals. 43 isolates were achieved from 30 CD patients (17 male, 12 female, median age 30) and 19 isolates from 7 healthy individuals (7 male, median age 19). Isolates were cultivated on LB medium at aerobic conditions up to medium log phase. Protein extraction was performed with sodium deoxycholate (DCNa) and urea, alcylation with tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine and iodacetamide. Protein trypsinolysis was performed as described in (Matyushkina et al., 2016). Total cell proteomes were analysed by shotgun proteomics with HPLC-MS/MS on a maXis qTOF mass-spectrometer. The data including HPLC-MS/MS raw files and exported Mascot search results was deposited to the PRIDE repository project accession: PXD010920, project https://doi.org/10.6019/PXD010920.

Abstract
Mycoplasma gallisepticum is an intracellular parasite affecting respiratory tract of poultry that belongs to class Mollicutes. M. gallisepticum features numerous variable lipoprotein hemagglutinin genes (vlhA) that play a role in immune escape. The vlhA promoters have a set of distinct properties in comparison to promoters of the other genes. The vlhA promoters carry a variable GAA repeats region at approximately 40 nts upstream of transcription start site. The promoters have been considered active only in the presence of exactly 12 GAA repeats. The mechanisms of vlhA expression regulation and GAA number variation are not described. Here we tried to understand these mechanisms using different computational methods. We conducted a comparative analysis among several M. gallisepticum strains. Nucleotide sequences analysis showed the presence of highly conserved regions flanking repeated trinucleotides that are not linked to GAA number variation. VlhA genes with 12 GAA repeats and their orthologs in 12 M. gallisepticum strains are more conserved than other vlhA genes and have narrower GAA number distribution. We conducted comparative analysis of physicochemical profiles of M. gallisepticum vlhA and sigma-70 promoters. Stress-induced duplex destabilization (SIDD) profiles showed that sigma-70 group is characterized by the common to prokaryotic promoters sharp maxima while vlhA promoters are hardly destabilized with the region between GAA repeats and transcription start site having zero opening probability. Electrostatic potential profiles of vlhA promoters indicate the presence of the distinct patterns that appear to govern initial stages of specific DNA-protein recognition. Open state dynamics profiles of vlhA demonstrate the pattern that might facilitate transcription bubble formation. Obtained data could be the basis for experimental identification of mechanisms of phase variation in M. gallisepticum.

Abstract
The data reported is a large-scale untargeted proteome profile for Mycoplasma gallisepticum - a model organism for studying both regulation in genome-reduced bacteria and intracellular infection (Mazin et al., 2014) [1,2]. While seminal whole-proteome studies were performed on Mycoplasma genitalium [3] and a few proteome datasets are available for Mycoplasma pneumoniae, no data-independent (DIA) proteome profiling has been published for bacteria of Mycoplasma genus. Since DIA-based proteome profiling allows to extract evidence on presence and quantity of any protein of interest in a post-acquisition manner and the data presented is describing a model which is suitable to study both proteome regulation in general and details of mycoplasma infection process [4], the proteome profiling data presented here is of value for deep annotation. The data was deposited to the PRIDE repository (PXD008198).

Comparative Metabolomics of Mycoplasma bovis and Mycoplasma gallisepticum Reveals Fundamental Differences in Active Metabolic Pathways and Suggests Novel Gene Annotations. mSystems 2017; 2:mSystems00055-17.

Abstract
Mycoplasmas are pathogenic bacteria that cause serious chronic infections in production animals, resulting in considerable losses worldwide, as well as causing disease in humans. These bacteria have extremely reduced genomes and are thought to have limited metabolic flexibility, even though they are highly successful persistent parasites in a diverse number of species. The extent to which different Mycoplasma species are capable of catabolizing host carbon sources and nutrients, or synthesizing essential metabolites, remains poorly defined. We have used advanced metabolomic techniques to identify metabolic pathways that are active in two species of Mycoplasma that infect distinct hosts (poultry and cattle). We show that these species exhibit marked differences in metabolite steady-state levels and carbon source utilization. This information has been used to functionally characterize previously unknown genes in the genomes of these pathogens. These species-specific differences are likely to reflect important differences in host nutrient levels and pathogenic mechanisms. Mycoplasmas are simple, but successful parasites that have the smallest genome of any free-living cell and are thought to have a highly streamlined cellular metabolism. Here, we have undertaken a detailed metabolomic analysis of two species, Mycoplasma bovis and Mycoplasma gallisepticum, which cause economically important diseases in cattle and poultry, respectively. Untargeted gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses of mycoplasma metabolite extracts revealed significant differences in the steady-state levels of many metabolites in central carbon metabolism, while 13C stable isotope labeling studies revealed marked differences in carbon source utilization. These data were mapped onto in silico metabolic networks predicted from genome wide annotations. The analyses elucidated distinct differences, including a clear difference in glucose utilization, with a marked decrease in glucose uptake and glycolysis in M. bovis compared to M. gallisepticum, which may reflect differing host nutrient availabilities. The 13C-labeling patterns also revealed several functional metabolic pathways that were previously unannotated in these species, allowing us to assign putative enzyme functions to the products of a number of genes of unknown function, especially in M. bovis. This study demonstrates the considerable potential of metabolomic analyses to assist in characterizing significant differences in the metabolism of different bacterial species and in improving genome annotation. IMPORTANCE Mycoplasmas are pathogenic bacteria that cause serious chronic infections in production animals, resulting in considerable losses worldwide, as well as causing disease in humans.

The extent to which different Mycoplasma species are capable of catabolizing host carbon sources and nutrients, or synthesizing essential metabolites, remains poorly defined. We have used advanced metabolomic techniques to identify metabolic pathways that are active in two species of Mycoplasma that infect distinct hosts (poultry and cattle). We show that these species exhibit marked differences in metabolite steady-state levels and carbon source utilization. This information has been used to functionally characterize previously unknown genes in the genomes of these pathogens. These species-specific differences are likely to reflect important differences in host nutrient levels and pathogenic mechanisms.

Abstract
Despite the fact the term "proteome" was proposed to characterize a set of proteins in one of mycoplasma species, proteome response to various exposures in this bacteria are still obscure. Commonly, authors studying proteomic response on perturbation models in mycoplasmas use single approach and do not confirm their findings by alternative methods. Consequently, the results of proteomic analysis should be validated by complementary techniques. In this study we utilized three complementary approaches (SWATH, MRM, 2D-DIGE) to assess response of Mycoplasma gallisepticum under heat stress on proteomic level and combined these findings with metabolic response and the results of transcriptional profiling. We divide response into two modes - one is directly related to heat stress and other is triggered during heat stress, but not directly relevant to it. The latter includes accumulation of ATP and shedding of antigens. Both of these phenomena may be relevant to evasion of host's immune system and dissemination during mycoplasmosis in vivo.

Vpma phase variation is important for survival and persistence of Mycoplasma agalactiae in the immunocompetent host. PLoS Pathog 2017; 13:e1006656. [PMID: 28957426 PMCID: PMC5634654 DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1006656] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2017] [Revised: 10/10/2017] [Accepted: 09/19/2017] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Despite very small genomes, mycoplasmas retain large multigene families encoding variable antigens whose exact role in pathogenesis needs to be proven. To understand their in vivo significance, we used Mycoplasma agalactiae as a model exhibiting high-frequency variations of a family of immunodominant Vpma lipoproteins via Xer1-mediated site-specific recombinations. Phase-Locked Mutants (PLMs) expressing single stable Vpma products served as first breakthrough tools in mycoplasmology to study the role of such sophisticated antigenic variation systems. Comparing the general clinical features of sheep infected with a mixture of phase-invariable PLMs (PLMU and PLMY) and the wild type strain, it was earlier concluded that Vpma phase variation is not necessary for infection. Conversely, the current study demonstrates the in vivo indispensability of Vpma switching as inferred from the Vpma phenotypic and genotypic analyses of reisolates obtained during sheep infection and necropsy. PLMY and PLMU stably expressing VpmaY and VpmaU, respectively, for numerous in vitro generations, switched to new Vpma phenotypes inside the sheep. Molecular genetic analysis of selected 'switchover' clones confirmed xer1 disruption and revealed complex new rearrangements like chimeras, deletions and duplications in the vpma loci that were previously unknown in type strain PG2. Another novel finding is the differential infection potential of Vpma variants, as local infection sites demonstrated an almost complete dominance of PLMY over PLMU especially during early stages of both conjunctival and intramammary co-challenge infections, indicating a comparatively better in vivo fitness of VpmaY expressors. The data suggest that Vpma antigenic variation is imperative for survival and persistence inside the immunocompetent host, and although Xer1 is necessary for causing Vpma variation in vitro, it is not a virulence factor because alternative Xer1-independent mechanisms operate in vivo, likely under the selection pressure of the host-induced immune response. This singular study highlights exciting new aspects of mycoplasma antigenic variation systems, including the regulation of expression by host factors.

Comparative Genomics of Mycoplasma bovis Strains Reveals That Decreased Virulence with Increasing Passages Might Correlate with Potential Virulence-Related Factors. Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2017; 7:177.

Abstract
Mycoplasma bovis is an important cause of bovine respiratory disease worldwide. To understand its virulence mechanisms, we sequenced three attenuated M. bovis strains, P115, P150, and P180, which were passaged in vitro 115, 150, and 180 times, respectively, and exhibited progressively decreasing virulence. Comparative genomics was performed among the wild-type M. bovis HB0801 (P1) strain and the P115, P150, and P180 strains, and one 14.2-kb deleted region covering 14 genes was detected in the passaged strains. Additionally, 46 non-sense single-nucleotide polymorphisms and indels were detected, which confirmed that more passages result in more mutations. A subsequent collective bioinformatics analysis of paralogs, metabolic pathways, protein-protein interactions, secretory proteins, functionally conserved domains, and virulence-related factors identified 11 genes that likely contributed to the increased attenuation in the passaged strains. These genes encode ascorbate-specific phosphotransferase system enzyme IIB and IIA components, enolase, L-lactate dehydrogenase, pyruvate kinase, glycerol, and multiple sugar ATP-binding cassette transporters, ATP binding proteins, NADH dehydrogenase, phosphate acetyltransferase, transketolase, and a variable surface protein. Fifteen genes were shown to be enriched in 15 metabolic pathways, and they included the aforementioned genes encoding pyruvate kinase, transketolase, enolase, and L-lactate dehydrogenase. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production in M. bovis strains representing seven passages from P1 to P180 decreased progressively with increasing numbers of passages and increased attenuation. However, eight mutants specific to eight individual genes within the 14.2-kb deleted region did not exhibit altered H2O2 production. These results enrich the M. bovis genomics database, and they increase our understanding of the mechanisms underlying M. bovis virulence.

Abstract
The genus Mycoplasma relates to Gram-positive bacteria that lack a cell wall and are capable to cause chronic disease in humans and animals. Among the agents of infection and disease in domestic poultry and wild birds, Mycoplasma gallisepticum is the most important mycoplasma species, causing considerable losses in the poultry industry. In the present paper, we provide data on adaptation of M. gallisepticum to the eukaryotic host cells on the genomic level. The major changes were predominantly localized in the VlhA-hemagglutinin genes which are important components of pathogenesis. The ability of mycoplasmas to change dramatically the repertoire of surface antigens and to vary the immunogenicity of these components allows them to remain undetected by the immune system of the host. The data presented in this article are related to the article entitled "Phase Transition of the Bacterium upon Invasion of a Host Cell as a Mechanism of Adaptation: a Mycoplasma gallisepticum Model." (Matyushkina et al., 2016) [1]. Data posted in repository https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/315515. Bioproject ID: PRJNA315515.
