Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1176317. [PMID: 37303797 PMCID: PMC10249997 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1176317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Salmonella spp. is one of the most important foodborne pathogens. Typhoid fever and enteritis caused by Salmonella enterica are associated with 16-33 million infections and 500,000 to 600,000 deaths annually worldwide. The eradication of Salmonella is becoming increasingly difficult because of its remarkable capacity to counter antimicrobial agents. In addition to the intrinsic and acquired resistance of Salmonella, increasing studies indicated that its non-inherited resistance, which commonly mentioned as biofilms and persister cells, plays a critical role in refractory infections and resistance evolution. These remind the urgent demand for new therapeutic strategies against Salmonella. This review starts with escape mechanisms of Salmonella against antimicrobial agents, with particular emphasis on the roles of the non-inherited resistance in antibiotic failure and resistance evolution. Then, drug design or therapeutic strategies that show impressive effects in overcoming Salmonella resistance and tolerance are summarized completely, such as overcoming the barrier of outer membrane by targeting MlaABC system, reducing persister cells by limiting hydrogen sulfide, and applying probiotics or predatory bacteria. Meanwhile, according to the clinical practice, the advantages and disadvantages of above strategies are discussed. Finally, we further analyze how to deal with this tricky problems, thus can promote above novel strategies to be applied in the clinic as soon as possible. We believed that this review will be helpful in understanding the relationships between tolerance phenotype and resistance of Salmonella as well as the efficient control of antibiotic resistance.

Dutta A, Prasad Kanaujia S. MlaC belongs to a unique class of non-canonical substrate-binding proteins and follows a novel phospholipid-binding mechanism. J Struct Biol 2022; 214:107896. [PMID: 36084896 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsb.2022.107896] [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: 06/27/2022] [Revised: 09/01/2022] [Accepted: 09/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria acts as a formidable barrier against a plethora of detrimental compounds owing to its asymmetric nature. This is because the OM possesses lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) in the outer leaflet and phospholipids (PLs) in the inner leaflet. The maintenance of lipid asymmetry (Mla) system is involved in preserving the distribution of PLs in OM. The periplasmic component of the system MlaC serves as the substrate-binding protein (SBP) that shuttles PLs between the inner and outer membranes. However, an in-depth report highlighting its mechanism of ligand binding is still lacking. This study reports the crystal structure of MlaC from Escherichia coli (EcMlaC) at a resolution of 2.5 Å in a quasi-open state, complexed with PL. The structural analysis reveals that EcMlaC and orthologs comprise two major domains, viz. nuclear transport factor 2-like (NTF2-like) and phospholipid-binding protein (PBP). Each domain can be further divided into two subdomains arranged in a discontinuous fashion. This study further reveals that EcMlaC is polyspecific in nature and follows a reverse mechanism of the opening of the substrate-binding site during the ligand binding. Furthermore, MlaC can bind two PLs by forming subsites in the binding pocket. These findings, altogether, have led to the proposition of the unique "segmented domain movement" mechanism of PL binding, not reported for any known SBP to date. Further, unlike typical SBPs, MlaC has originated from a cystatin-like fold. Overall, this study establishes MlaC to be a non-canonical SBP with a unique ligand-binding mechanism.

Abstract
Structure-based molecular designs play a critical role in the context of next generation drug development. Besides their fundamental scientific aspects, the findings established in this approach have significant implications in the expansions of target-based therapies and vaccines. Interleukin-18 (IL-18), also known as interferon gamma (IFN-γ) inducing factor, is a pro-inflammatory cytokine. The IL-18 binds first to the IL-18α receptor and forms a lower affinity complex. Upon binding with IL-18β a hetero-trimeric complex with higher affinity is formed that initiates the signal transduction process. The present study, including structural and molecular dynamics simulations, takes a close look at the structural stabilities of IL-18 and IL-18 receptor-bound ligand structures as functions of time. The results help to identify the conformational changes of the ligand due to receptor binding, as well as the structural orders of the apo and holo IL-18 protein complexes.

Modulating Isoprenoid Biosynthesis Increases Lipooligosaccharides and Restores Acinetobacter baumannii Resistance to Host and Antibiotic Stress. Cell Rep 2020; 32:108129. [PMID: 32905776 PMCID: PMC7519801 DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2020.108129] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2020] [Revised: 06/19/2020] [Accepted: 08/18/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii is a leading cause of ventilator-associated pneumonia and a critical threat due to multidrug resistance. The A. baumannii outer membrane is an asymmetric lipid bilayer composed of inner leaflet glycerophospholipids and outer leaflet lipooligosaccharides. Deleting mlaF of the maintenance of lipid asymmetry (Mla) system causes A. baumannii to become more susceptible to pulmonary surfactants and antibiotics and decreases bacterial survival in the lungs of mice. Spontaneous suppressor mutants isolated from infected mice contain an ISAba11 insertion upstream of the ispB initiation codon, an essential isoprenoid biosynthesis gene. The insertion restores antimicrobial resistance and virulence to ΔmlaF. The suppressor strain increases lipooligosaccharides, suggesting that the mechanism involves balancing the glycerophospholipids/lipooligosaccharides ratio on the bacterial surface. An identical insertion exists in an extensively drug-resistant A. baumannii isolate, demonstrating its clinical relevance. These data show that the stresses bacteria encounter during infection select for genomic rearrangements that increase resistance to antimicrobials.
