DRAM1 is an infection inducible autophagy modulator, previously shown to promote autophagic and lysosomal defense responses against the intracellular pathogen Mycobacterium marinum. However, its possible role in other anti-bacterial autophagic mechanisms remains unknown. Recently, LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP) has emerged as autophagy-related mechanism that targets bacteria directly in phagosomes. Our previous work established LAP as the main autophagic mechanism by which macrophages restrict growth of Salmonella Typhimurium in a systemically infected zebrafish host. We therefore employed this infection model to investigate the possible role of Dram1 in LAP. Morpholino knockdown or CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutation of Dram1 led to reduced host survival and increased bacterial burden during S. Typhimurium infection. In contrast, overexpression of dram1 by mRNA injection curtailed Salmonella replication and reduced mortality of the infected host. During the early response to infection, GFP-Lc3-Salmonella associations were reduced in dram1 knockdown or mutant embryos, and increased by dram1 overexpression. Since LAP is known to require the activity of the phagosomal NADPH oxidase, we used a Salmonella biosensor strain to detect bacterial exposure to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and found that the ROS response was largely abolished with deficiency of dram1, while it was increased with dram1 overexpression. Corroborating these results in a mammalian model, the LC3 and ROS responses to Salmonella were similarly reduced or increased by knockdown or overexpression of Dram1, respectively, in murine RAW264.7 macrophages. Together, these results demonstrate the host protective role of Dram1/DRAM1 during S. Typhimurium infection and suggest a functional link between Dram1/DRAM1 and the induction of LAP.Abbreviations: ATG8: Autophagy related protein 8; ATG16: Autophagy related protein 16; CFU: colony-forming unit; DRAM1: DNA damage regulated autophagy modulator gene 1; dpf: days post fertilization; GFP: green fluorescent protein; hpi: hours post infection; LAP: LC3 associated phagocytosis; LC3, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3; NADPH: Nicotinamide dinucleotide phosphate; p53: Tumor suppressor protein 53: ROS; reactive oxygen species; S.

Macroautophagy/autophagy is a degradative pathway that plays an important role in maintaining cellular homeostasis in eukaryotes. During autophagy, cisternal compartments called phagophores are generated to sequester intracellular components; these structures mature into autophagosomes, which deliver the cargo into lysosomes/vacuoles for degradation. Numerous autophagy-related (Atg) proteins are part of the core machinery that mediates autophagosome biogenesis. Atg9, a lipid scramblase and the only multispanning transmembrane protein among the core Atg machinery, traffics between cytoplasmic reservoirs and the phagophore assembly site (PAS) to provide membranes, recruit other Atg proteins and rearrange lipids on the phagophore membrane. However, the factors mediating Atg9 trafficking remain to be fully understood. In our recent study, we found that the yeast dynamin-like GTPase Vps1 (vacuolar protein sorting 1) is involved in autophagy and is important for Atg9 transport to the PAS. Moreover, we showed that Vps1 function in autophagy requires its GTPase and oligomerization activities. Interestingly, specific mutations in DNM2 (dynamin 2), one of the human homologs of Vps1 that have been linked with specific human diseases such as microcytic anemia and Charcot-Marie-Tooth, also impairs Atg9 transport to the PAS, suggesting that a defect in autophagy may underlay the pathophysiology of these severe human pathologies.
