Abstract

Extractable glycolipids of mycobacteria, such as lipooligosaccharides (LOSs), play crucial roles in responding to environmental stress and modulating the host immune response. Although the biosynthesis of LOS is likely regulated at multiple levels to ensure proper composition of the cell wall, the key regulators remain unknown. In this study, we investigated B11, a conserved mycobacterial small RNA (sRNA), and found that it post-transcriptionally regulates LOS synthesis in . Through a combination of RNA-seq and mass spectrometry screening, we identified specific genes within the LOS synthesis locus that are directly regulated by B11. We confirmed in vivo sRNA-mRNA interactions using MS2-tagged RNA affinity purification, and found that B11 utilizes the cytosine-rich loop of its Rho-independent transcriptional terminator to interact with guanine tracks adjacent to the ribosome binding sites of its target genes, thereby impeding translation and promoting mRNA degradation. Moreover, deletion of B11 altered the colony morphology associated with LOS composition. These comprehensive functional studies of the mycobacterial sRNA B11 reveal sRNA-based regulation of LOS synthesis, providing new insights into the regulatory mechanisms controlling the biosynthesis of the complex mycobacterial cell wall.

摘要

分枝杆菌的可提取糖脂,如脂寡糖(LOSs),在应对环境压力和调节宿主免疫反应中发挥着关键作用。尽管LOS的生物合成可能在多个水平上受到调控以确保细胞壁的适当组成,但关键调节因子仍然未知。在本研究中,我们研究了一种保守的分枝杆菌小RNA(sRNA)B11,发现它在转录后调节LOS的合成。通过RNA测序和质谱筛选相结合的方法,我们在LOS合成位点内鉴定出了受B11直接调控的特定基因。我们使用MS2标记的RNA亲和纯化技术在体内证实了sRNA与mRNA的相互作用,发现B11利用其不依赖Rho的转录终止子富含胞嘧啶的环与靶基因核糖体结合位点附近的鸟嘌呤序列相互作用,从而阻碍翻译并促进mRNA降解。此外,B11的缺失改变了与LOS组成相关的菌落形态。对分枝杆菌sRNA B11的这些全面功能研究揭示了基于sRNA的LOS合成调控机制,为控制复杂分枝杆菌细胞壁生物合成的调控机制提供了新的见解。
