Abstract
Nontuberculous mycobacteria are opportunistic bacteria pulmonary and extra-pulmonary infections in humans that closely resemble Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Although genome sequencing strategies helped determine NTMs, a common assay for the detection of coinfection by multiple NTMs with M. tuberculosis in the primary attempt of diagnosis is still elusive. Such a lack of efficiency leads to delayed therapy, an inappropriate choice of drugs, drug resistance, disease complications, morbidity, and mortality. Although a high-resolution LC-MS/MS-based multiprotein panel assay can be developed due to its specificity and sensitivity, it needs a library of species-specific peptides as a platform. Toward this, we performed an analysis of proteomes of 9 NTM species with more than 20 million peptide spectrum matches gathered from 26 proteome data sets. Our metaproteomic analyses determined 48,172 species-specific proteotypic peptides across 9 NTMs. Notably, M. smegmatis (26,008), M. abscessus (12,442), M. vaccae (6487), M. fortuitum (1623), M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis (844), M. avium subsp. hominissuis (580), and M. marinum (112) displayed >100 species-specific proteotypic peptides. Finally, these peptides and corresponding spectra have been compiled into a spectral library, FASTA, and JSON formats for future reference and validation in clinical cohorts by the biomedical community for further translation.

Development of a spectral library for the discovery of altered genomic events in Mycobacterium avium associated with virulence using mass spectrometry-based proteogenomic analysis. Mol Cell Proteomics 2023; 22:100533. [PMID: 36948415 PMCID: PMC10149365 DOI: 10.1016/j.mcpro.2023.100533] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2022] [Revised: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 03/16/2023] [Indexed: 03/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Mycobacterium avium is one of the prominent disease-causing bacteria in humans. It causes lymphadenitis, chronic and extrapulmonary, and disseminated infections in adults, children, and immunocompromised patients. M. avium has ∼4,500 predicted protein-coding regions on average, which can help discover several variants at the proteome level. Many of them are potentially associated with virulence; thus, identifying such proteins can be a helpful feature in developing panel-based theranostics. In line with such a long-term goal, we carried out an in-depth proteomic analysis of M. avium with both data-dependent and data-independent acquisition methods. Further, a set of proteogenomic investigations were carried out using i) a protein database for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, ii) a M. avium genome six-frame translated database, and iii) a variant protein database of M. avium. A search of mass spectrometry data against M. avium protein database resulted in identifying 2,954 proteins. Further, proteogenomic analyses aided in identifying 1,301 novel peptide sequences and correcting translation start sites for 15 proteins. Ultimately, we created a spectral library of M. avium proteins, including novel genome search-specific peptides and variant peptides detected in this study. We validated the spectral library by a data-independent acquisition of the M. avium proteome. Thus, we present an M. avium spectral library of 29,033 peptide precursors supported by 0.4 million fragment ions for further use by the biomedical community.

Proteomic Analysis of Human Breast Cancer MCF-7 Cells to Identify Cellular Targets of the Anticancer Pigment OR3 from Streptomyces coelicolor JUACT03. Appl Biochem Biotechnol 2023; 195:236-252. [PMID: 36070163 DOI: 10.1007/s12010-022-04128-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 08/28/2022] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
Search for ideal compounds with known pathways of anticancer mechanism is still a priority research focus for cancer, as it continues to be a major health challenge across the globe. Hence, in the present study, anticancer potential of a yellow pigment fraction, OR3, isolated from Streptomyces coelicolor JUACT03 was assessed on the breast cancer cell line MCF-7. TLC-fractionated OR3 pigment was subjected to HPLC and GC-MS analysis for characterization and identification of the bioactive component. MCF-7 cells were treated with IC50 concentration of OR3 and the molecular alterations were analyzed using mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomic analysis. Bioinformatics tools such as STRING analysis and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis were performed to analyze proteomics data and to identify dysregulated signaling pathways. As per our obtained data, OR3 treatment decreased cell proliferation and induced apoptotic cell death due to significant dysregulation of protein expressions in MCF-7 cells. Altered expression included the ribosomal, mRNA processing and vesicle-mediated transport proteins as a result of OR3 treatment. Downregulation of MAPK proteins, NFkB, and estradiol signaling was identified in OR3-treated MCF-7 cells. Mainly eIF2, mTOR, and eIF4 signaling pathways were altered in OR3-treated cells. GC-MS data indicated the presence of novel compounds in OR3 fraction. It can be concluded that OR3 exhibits potent anticancer activity on the breast cancer cells mainly through altering the expression and affecting the signaling proteins which are involved in different cell proliferation/apoptotic pathways thereby causing inhibition of cancer cell proliferation, survival and metastasis.

Abstract
Mycobacterium abscessus is a nontuberculous mycobacterium, associated with broncho-pulmonary infections in individuals suffering from cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, and pulmonary diseases. The risk factors for transmission include biofilms, contaminated water resources, fomites, and infected individuals. M. abscessus is extensively resistant to antibiotics. To date, there is no vaccine and combination antibiotic therapy is followed. However, drug toxicities, low cure rates, and high cost of treatment make it imperfect. Over the last 20 years, bioinformatic studies on M. abscessus have advanced our understanding of the pathogen. This review integrates knowledge from the analysis of genomes, microbiomes, genomic variations, phylogeny, proteome, transcriptome, secretome, antibiotic resistance, and vaccine design to further our understanding. The utility of genome-based studies in comprehending disease progression, surveillance, tracing transmission routes, and epidemiological outbreaks on a global scale has been highlighted. Furthermore, this review underlined the importance of using computational methodologies for pinpointing factors responsible for pathogen survival and resistance. We reiterate the significance of interdisciplinary research to fight M. abscessus. In a nutshell, the outcome of computational studies can go a long way in creating novel therapeutic avenues to control M. abscessus mediated pulmonary infections.

Abstract
In the first quarter of the 21st century, we are already facing the third emergence of a coronavirus outbreak, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) responsible for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Comparative genomics can inform a deeper understanding of the pathogenesis of COVID-19. Previous strains of coronavirus, SARS-CoV, and Middle-East respiratory syndrome-coronavirus (MERS-CoV), have been known to cause acute lung injuries in humans. SARS-CoV-2 shares genetic similarity with SARS-CoV with some modification in the S protein leading to their enhanced binding affinity toward the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors of human lung cells. This expert review examines the features of all three coronaviruses through a conceptual lens of comparative genomics. In particular, the life cycle of SARS-CoV-2 that enables its survival within the host is highlighted. Susceptibility of humans to coronavirus outbreaks in the 21st century calls for comparisons of the transmission history, hosts, reservoirs, and fatality rates of these viruses so that evidence-based and effective planetary health interventions can be devised to prevent future zoonotic outbreaks. Comparative genomics offers new insights on putative and novel viral targets with an eye to both therapeutic innovation and prevention. We conclude the expert review by (1) articulating the lessons learned so far, whereas the research is still being actively sought after in the field, and (2) the challenges and prospects in deciphering the linkages among multiomics biological variability and COVID-19 pathogenesis.

[PMID: 32363156 PMCID: PMC7186543 DOI: 10.34172/bi.2020.15] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2019] [Revised: 08/07/2019] [Accepted: 09/03/2019] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
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.
