Coding tandem repeats generate diversity in Aspergillus fumigatus genes

Genes containing multiple coding mini- and microsatellite repeats are highly dynamic components of genomes. Frequent recombination events within these tandem repeats lead to changes in repeat numbers, which in turn alters the amino acid sequence of the corresponding protein. In bacteria and yeasts, the expansion of such coding repeats in cell wall proteins is associated with alterations in immunogenicity, adhesion, and pathogenesis. We hypothesized that identification of repeat-containing putative cell wall proteins in the human pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus may reveal novel pathogenesis-related elements. Here, we report that the genome of A. fumigatus contains as many as 292 genes with internal repeats. Fourteen of 30 selected genes showed size variation of their repeat-containing regions among 11 clinical A. fumigatus isolates. Four of these genes, Afu3g08990, Afu2g05150 (MP-2), Afu4g09600, and Afu6g14090, encode putative cell wall proteins containing a leader sequence and a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor motif. All four genes are expressed and produce variable-size mRNA encoding a discrete number of repeat amino acid units. Their expression was altered during development and in response to cell wall-disrupting agents. Deletion of one of these genes, Afu3g08990, resulted in a phenotype characterized by rapid conidial germination and reduced adherence to extracellular matrix suggestive of an alteration in cell wall characteristics. The Afu3g08990 protein was localized to the cell walls of dormant and germinating conidia. Our findings suggest that a subset of the A. fumigatus cell surface proteins may be hypervariable due to recombination events in their internal tandem repeats. This variation may provide the functional diversity in cell surface antigens which allows rapid adaptation to the environment and/or elusion of the host immune system.     

Characterization of a novel gene for strain typing reveals substructuring of Aspergillus fumigatus across North America

Fifty-five epidemiologically linked Aspergillus fumigatus isolates obtained from six nosocomial outbreaks of invasive aspergillosis were subtyped by sequencing the polymorphic region of the gene encoding a putative cell surface protein, Afu3g08990 (denoted as CSP). Comparative sequence analysis showed that genetic diversity was generated in the coding region of this gene by both tandem repeats and point mutations. Each unique sequence in an outbreak cluster was assigned an arbitrary number or CSP sequence type. The CSP typing method was able to identify "clonal" and genotypically distinct A. fumigatus isolates, and the results of this method were concordant with those of another discriminatory genotyping technique, the Afut1 restriction fragment length polymorphism typing method. The novel single-locus sequence typing (CSP typing) strategy appears to be a simple, rapid, discriminatory tool that can be readily shared across laboratories. In addition, we found that A. fumigatus isolates substructured into multiple clades; interestingly, one clade consisted of isolates predominantly representing invasive clinical isolates recovered from cardiac transplant patients from two different outbreak situations. We also found that the A. fumigatus isolate Af293, whose genome has been sequenced, possesses a CSP gene structure that is substantially different from those of the other A. fumigatus strains studied here, highlighting the need for further taxonomic study.

Susceptibility of mice genetically deficient in the surfactant protein (SP)-A or SP-D gene to pulmonary hypersensitivity induced by antigens and allergens of Aspergillus fumigatus

Lung surfactant protein A (SP-A) and D (SP-D) are innate immune molecules which are known to interact with allergens and immune cells and modulate cytokine and chemokine profiles during host hypersensitivity response. We have previously shown therapeutic effects of SP-A and SP-D using a murine model of lung hypersensitivity to Aspergillus fumigatus (Afu) allergens. In this study, we have examined the susceptibility of SP-A (AKO) or SP-D gene-deficient (DKO) mice to the Afu allergen challenge, as compared with the wild-type mice. Both AKO and DKO mice exhibited intrinsic hypereosinophilia and several-fold increase in levels of IL-5 and IL-13, and lowering of IFN-gamma to IL-4 ratio in the lungs, suggesting a Th2 bias of immune response. This Th2 bias was reversible by treating AKO or DKO mice with SP-A or SP-D, respectively. The AKO and DKO mice showed distinct immune responses to Afu sensitization. DKO mice were found more susceptible than wild-type mice to pulmonary hypersensitivity induced by Afu allergens. AKO mice were found to be nearly resistant to Afu sensitization. Intranasal treatment with SP-D or rhSP-D (a recombinant fragment of human SP-D containing trimeric C-type lectin domains) was effective in rescuing the Afu-sensitized DKO mice, while SP-A-treated Afu-sensitized AKO mice showed several-fold elevated levels of IL-13 and IL-5, resulting in increased pulmonary eosinophilia and damaged lung tissue. These data reaffirm an important role for SP-A and SP-D in offering resistance to pulmonary allergenic challenge.

Functional characterization of the Aspergillus fumigatusPHO80 homologue

Phosphate is an ion that is essential for fungal growth. The systems for inorganic phosphate (P_i) acquisition in eukaryotic cells (PHO) have been characterized as a low-affinity (that assures a supply of P_i at normal or high external P_i concentrations) and a high-affinity (activated in response to P_i starvation). Here, as an initial step to understand the PHO pathway in Aspergillus fumigatus, we characterized the PHO80 homologue, PhoB^PHO80. We show that the ΔphoB^PHO80 mutant has a polar growth defect (i.e., a delayed germ tube emergence) and, by phenotypic and phosphate uptake analyses, establish a link between PhoB^PHO80, calcineurin and calcium metabolism. Microarray hybridizations carried out with RNA obtained from wild-type and ΔphoB^PHO80 mutant cells identify Afu4g03610 (phoD^PHO84), Afu7g06350 (phoE^PHO89), Afu4g06020 (phoC^PHO81), and Afu2g09040 (vacuolar transporter Vtc4) as more expressed both in the ΔphoB^PHO80 mutant background and under phosphate-limiting conditions of 0.1 mM P_i. Epifluorescence microscopy revealed accumulation of poly-phosphate in ΔphoB^PHO80 vacuoles, which was independent of extracellular phosphate concentration. Surprisingly, a phoD^PHO84 deletion mutant is indistinguishable phenotypically from the corresponding wild-type strain. mRNA analyses suggest that protein kinase A absence supports the expression of PHO genes in A. fumigatus. Furthermore, ΔphoB^PHO80 and ΔphoD^PHO84 mutant are fully virulent in a murine low dose model for invasive aspergillosis.     

Ability to grow on lipids accounts for the fully virulent phenotype in neutropenic mice of Aspergillus fumigatus null mutants in the key glyoxylate cycle enzymes

Incidence and mortality rates of invasive aspergillosis clearly indicate the need of novel antifungals to treat patients suffering from this disease. Fungal proteins playing a crucial role in pathogenesis and with no orthologue in human cells are considered as primary therapeutic targets for the development of new antifungals with a high therapeutic index, one of the major drawbacks of the standard antifungal therapy, so far. In this work, we have analyzed the role in pathogenesis of the key enzymes of the Aspergillus fumigatus glyxoxylate cycle, isocitrate lyase and malate synthase, two possible candidates to primary therapeutic targets in this fungus. Deletion strains lacking isocitrate lyase (DeltaacuD strains) or malate synthase (DeltaacuE mutants) were constructed in this work. The Neurospora crassa pyr-4 gene was used as the replacing marker in gene deletion experiments. The pathogenicities of DeltaacuD and DeltaacuE mutants were tested in neutropenic mice and compared with those of two reference wild-type isolates A. fumigatus 237 and A. fumigatus 293. Interestingly, virulence and cytological studies clearly indicated the dispensability of the A. fumigatus glyoxylate cycle for pathogenicity. In addition, these results suggested the suitability of the pyr-4 gene as a valuable replacing marker for virulence studies in this fungus, a fact that was further confirmed by gene expression analyses. Finally, growth tests were performed to investigate the germination and growth of the DeltaacuD and DeltaacuE strains in nutrient deprivation environments, resembling the conditions that A. fumigatus conidia face after phagocytosis. Results obtained in this work strongly suggest that the ability to grow on lipids (triglycerides) of A. fumigatus isocitrate lyase and malate synthase deletion strains accounts for their fully virulent phenotype.
