Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is an opportunistic human pathogen, causing serious chronic infections. P. aeruginosa can adapt efficiently to antibiotic stressors via different genotypic or phenotypic strategies such as resistance and tolerance. The adaptation regulatory system is not always very well understood. In this study, we use shotgun proteomics to investigate the system-level response to tobramycin in two clinical wound P. aeruginosa isolates and PAO1. We profiled each strain for its antibiotic drug-tolerant phenotype using supra-minimum inhibitory concentrations (supra-MIC) of tobramycin and applied proteomics to investigate the protein expression profiles. The MIC revealed that all isolates were susceptible to tobramycin but at supra-MIC concentrations at stationary growth, a degree of tolerance was observed for the isolates. We identified around 40 % of the total proteins encoded by the P. aeruginosa genome and highlighted shared and unique protein signatures for all isolates. Comparative proteome profiling in the absence of antibiotic treatment showed divergent fingerprints, despite similarities in the growth behavior of the isolates. In the presence of tobramycin, the isolates shared a common response in the downregulation of proteins involved in the two-component system, whereas stress response proteins were present at higher levels. Our findings provide insight into the use of proteomic tools to dissect the system-level response in clinical isolates in the absence and presence of antibiotic stress.
期刊介绍:
The mission of MCP is to foster the development and applications of proteomics in both basic and translational research. MCP will publish manuscripts that report significant new biological or clinical discoveries underpinned by proteomic observations across all kingdoms of life. Manuscripts must define the biological roles played by the proteins investigated or their mechanisms of action.
The journal also emphasizes articles that describe innovative new computational methods and technological advancements that will enable future discoveries. Manuscripts describing such approaches do not have to include a solution to a biological problem, but must demonstrate that the technology works as described, is reproducible and is appropriate to uncover yet unknown protein/proteome function or properties using relevant model systems or publicly available data.
Scope:
-Fundamental studies in biology, including integrative "omics" studies, that provide mechanistic insights
-Novel experimental and computational technologies
-Proteogenomic data integration and analysis that enable greater understanding of physiology and disease processes
-Pathway and network analyses of signaling that focus on the roles of post-translational modifications
-Studies of proteome dynamics and quality controls, and their roles in disease
-Studies of evolutionary processes effecting proteome dynamics, quality and regulation
-Chemical proteomics, including mechanisms of drug action
-Proteomics of the immune system and antigen presentation/recognition
-Microbiome proteomics, host-microbe and host-pathogen interactions, and their roles in health and disease
-Clinical and translational studies of human diseases
-Metabolomics to understand functional connections between genes, proteins and phenotypes
