Abstract
ADP-activated β-d-manno-heptoses (ADP-β-d-manno-heptoses) are precursors for the biosynthesis of the inner core of lipopolysaccharide in Gram-negative bacteria. Recently, ADP-d-glycero-β-d-manno-heptose (ADP-d,d-manno-heptose) and its C-6′′ epimer, ADP-l-glycero-β-d-manno-heptose (ADP-l,d-manno-heptose), were identified as potent pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) that can trigger robust innate immune responses. Although the production of ADP-d,d-manno-heptose has been studied in several different pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria, current knowledge of ADP-β-d-manno-heptose biosynthesis in Vibrio strains remains limited. Here, we characterized the biosynthetic enzymes of ADP-d,d-manno-heptose and the epimerase that converts it to ADP-l,d-manno-heptose from Vibrio cholerae (the causative agent of pandemic cholera) and Vibrio parahaemolyticus (non-cholera pathogen causing vibriosis with clinical manifestations of gastroenteritis and wound infections) in comparison with their isozymes from Escherichia coli. Moreover, we discovered that β-d-mannose 1-phosphate, but not α-d-mannose 1-phosphate, could be activated to its ADP form by the nucleotidyltransferase domains of bifunctional kinase/nucleotidyltransferases HldEVC (from V. cholerae) and HldEVP (from V. parahaemolyticus). Kinetic analyses of the nucleotidyltransferase domains of HldEVC and HldEVP together with the E. coli–derived HldEEC were thus carried out using β-d-mannose 1-phosphate as a mimic sugar substrate. Overall, our works suggest that V. cholerae and V. parahaemolyticus are capable of synthesizing ADP-β-d-manno-heptoses and lay a foundation for further physiological function explorations on manno-heptose metabolism in Vibrio strains.
Key points
• Vibrio strains adopt the same biosynthetic pathway as E. coli in synthesizing ADP-β-d-manno-heptoses.
• HldEs from two Vibrio strains and E. coli could activate β-d-mannose 1-phosphate to ADP-β-d-mannose.
• Comparable nucleotidyltransfer efficiencies were observed in the kinetic studies of HldEs.

两种致病性弧菌菌株 ADP-β-d-甘露庚糖生物合成酶的表征
抽象的
ADP 激活的β - d -甘露- 庚糖 (ADP- β - d - 甘露 -庚糖) 是革兰氏阴性细菌中脂多糖内核生物合成的前体。最近,ADP- d-甘油-β - d-甘露-庚糖(ADP- d , d-甘露-庚糖)及其C-6′′差向异构体,ADP- l-甘油-β - d-甘露-庚糖(ADP-d,d-甘露-庚糖) -l , d-甘露糖-庚糖)被鉴定为有效的病原体相关分子模式(PAMP),可以触发强大的先天免疫反应。尽管已经在几种不同的致病性革兰氏阴性细菌中研究了 ADP- d 、 d-甘露-庚糖的产生,但目前对弧菌菌株中 ADP- β - d-甘露-庚糖生物合成的了解仍然有限。在这里,我们表征了霍乱弧菌(大流行性霍乱的病原体)和副溶血性弧菌(非溶血性弧菌)的 ADP -d 、 d-甘露-庚糖生物合成酶和将其转化为 ADP- l 、 d-甘露-庚糖的差向异构酶。引起弧菌病并具有胃肠炎和伤口感染临床表现的霍乱病原体)与其来自大肠杆菌的同工酶的比较。 此外,我们发现β - d-甘露糖1-磷酸,而不是α - d-甘露糖1-磷酸,可以被双功能激酶/核苷酸转移酶HldE VC (来自霍乱弧菌)的核苷酸转移酶结构域激活为其ADP形式,并且HldE VP (来自副溶血弧菌)。因此,使用β - d-甘露糖 1-磷酸作为模拟糖底物,对 HldE VC和 HldE VP的核苷酸转移酶结构域以及大肠杆菌衍生的 HldE EC进行了动力学分析。总的来说,我们的工作表明霍乱弧菌和副溶血弧菌能够合成ADP- β - d-甘露庚糖,为进一步探索弧菌菌株甘露庚糖代谢的生理功能奠定了基础。
关键点
• 弧菌菌株采用与大肠杆菌相同的生物合成途径来合成ADP-β- d-甘露庚糖。
• 来自两种弧菌菌株和大肠杆菌的HldE 可以将β- d-甘露糖1-磷酸激活为ADP-β- d-甘露糖。
• 在HldE 的动力学研究中观察到了相当的核苷酸转移效率。
