GNPS - The Campylobacter jejuni cell membrane protects against the bactericidal activity of human breastmilk

Description

Campylobacter jejuni is a common foodborne pathogen worldwide that is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality among infants in low-to-middle income countries (LMICs). Human milk provides infants with an important source of nutrients and also contains antimicrobial components for protection against infection. However, recent studies, including our own, have found significantly higher levels of Campylobacter in diarrheal stool samples collected from breastfed infants from LMICs compared to non-breastfed infants. We hypothesized that C. jejuni may have unique strategies to resist the antimicrobial properties of human milk. In this study, RNAseq comparisons indicated that exposure of C. jejuni strains 81-176 and 11168 to human milk results in increased expression of ribosomal proteins, iron receptors and transporters, and proteins for amino acid utilization. However, unidentified proteinaceous components of human milk prevent bacterial growth. After evolving both C. jejuni isolates in increasing concentrations of human milk, followed by genomic sequence comparisons, we identified mutations in genes encoding the acyl carrier protein, AcpP, and major outer membrane porin, PorA, in addition to strain specific changes. Introduction of the observed PorA and AcpP amino acid changes back into the parental backgrounds followed by transmission electron microscopy indicated that changes in both proteins lead to distinctly altered cell membrane architectures. However, only the C. jejuni AcpP changes significantly improved growth in human milk presumably through the formation of a continuous layer of outer membrane vesicles. Analyses of the phospholipid and lipooligosaccharide lipid A composition demonstrated that these vesicles likely form due to an imbalance in acyl chain distribution. In the case of strain 11168, this added layer of vesicles protected both evolved and acpP mutated strains from bacteriophage infection and polymyxin killing. Taken together, this study provides insights into how C. jejuni strains may evolve to resist the bactericidal activity of human milk and flourish in the hostile environment of the gastrointestinal tract.

Click here to queue conversion of this dataset's submitted spectrum files to open formats (e.g. mzML). This process may take some time.

When complete, the converted files will be available in the "ccms_peak" subdirectory of the dataset's FTP space (accessible via the "FTP Download" link to the right).
Number of distinct conditions across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct condition labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category having a "Condition" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct biological replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct replicate labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category having a "BioReplicate" or "Replicate" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct technical replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

The technical replicate count is defined as the maximum number of times any one distinct combination of condition and biological replicate was analyzed across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category. In the case of fractionated experiments, only the first fraction is considered.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Originally identified proteins that were automatically remapped by MassIVE to proteins in the SwissProt human reference database.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct protein accessions reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct unmodified peptide sequences reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct peptide sequences (including modified variants or peptidoforms) reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Total number of peptide-spectrum matches (i.e. spectrum identifications) reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins quantified across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins found to be differentially abundant in at least one comparison across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

A protein is differentially abundant if its change in abundance across conditions is found to be statistically significant with an adjusted p-value <= 0.05 and lists no issues associated with statistical tests for differential abundance.

Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
This dataset may not contain all raw spectra data as originally deposited in PRIDE. It has been imported to MassIVE for reanalysis purposes, so its spectra data here may consist solely of processed peak lists suitable for reanalysis with most software.
