Functional proteomics identify mannitol metabolism in serum resistance and therapeutic implications in Vibrio alginolyticus

Serum resistance is recognized as one of the most important pathogenic traits of bacterial pathogens, and no control measure is available. Based on our previous discovery that pathogenic Escherichia coli represses glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism to confer serum resistance and that the reac...

description Serum resistance is recognized as one of the most important pathogenic traits of bacterial pathogens, and no control measure is available. Based on our previous discovery that pathogenic Escherichia coli represses glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism to confer serum resistance and that the reactivation of this pathway by exogenous glycine could restore serum sensitivity, we further investigate the mechanism underlying the action of glycine in Vibrio alginolyticus. Thus, V. alginolyticus is treated with glycine, and the proteomic change is profiled with tandem mass tag-based quantitative proteomics. Compared to the control group, glycine treatment influences the expression of a total of 291 proteins. Among them, a trap-type mannitol/chloroaromatic compound transport system with periplasmic component, encoded by N646_0992, is the most significantly increased protein. In combination with the pathway enrichment analysis showing the altered fructose and mannitol metabolism, mannitol has emerged as a possible metabolite in enhancing the serum killing activity. To demonstrate this, exogenous mannitol reduces bacterial viability. This synergistic effect is further confirmed in a V. alginolyticus–Danio rerio infection model. Furthermore, the mechanism underlying mannitol-enabled serum killing is dependent on glycolysis and the pyruvate cycle that increases the deposition of complement components C3b and C5b-9 on the bacterial surface, whereas inhibiting glycolysis or the pyruvate cycle significantly weakened the synergistic effects and complement deposition. These data together suggest that mannitol is a potent metabolite in reversing the serum resistance of V. alginolyticus and has promising use in aquaculture.
