A GMC Oxidoreductase Homologue Is Required for Acetylation of Glycopeptidolipid in Mycobacterium smegmatis
The Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv3409c gene is required for modulation of the Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR-2) signaling response in infected macrophages. Although each is annotated as encoding a cholesterol oxidase, neither Rv3409c nor its ortholog MSMEG1604 is required for the metabolism of cholesterol in mycobacteria. Here we report that a unique lipid, L1334, accumulates in a MSMEG1604 transpos...
متن کاملTrehalose Is Required for Growth of Mycobacterium smegmatis*□S
Mycobacteria contain high levels of the disaccharide trehalose in free form as well as within various immunologically relevant glycolipids such as cord factor and sulfolipid-1. By contrast, most bacteria use trehalose solely as a general osmoprotectant or thermoprotectant. Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium smegmatis possess three pathways for the synthesis of trehalose. Most bacteria...

متن کاملSynthesis of an unusual polar glycopeptidolipid in glucose-limited culture of Mycobacterium smegmatis.
There has been a general understanding that Mycobacterium smegmatis produces only apolar glycopeptidolipid (GPL), similar in structure to serovar non-specific GPL of Mycobacterium avium. In this study, synthesis of polar GPL in carbon-starved M. smegmatis is reported. Mass spectrometric analysis suggests the polar GPL to be a hyperglycosylated species. The earlier structural studies of polar GP...
متن کاملLpqM, a mycobacterial lipoprotein-metalloproteinase, is required for conjugal DNA transfer in Mycobacterium smegmatis.
We have previously described a novel conjugal DNA transfer process that occurs in Mycobacterium smegmatis. To identify donor genes required for transfer, we have performed a transposon mutagenesis screen; we report here that LpqM, a putative lipoprotein-metalloproteinase, is essential for efficient DNA transfer. Bioinformatic analyses predict that LpqM contains a signal peptide necessary for th...
