Abstract

AbstractThe opportunistic pathogenPseudomonas aeruginosais responsible for a high number of acute and chronic hospital-acquired infections. As it develops more and more resistances against existing antibiotics,P. aeruginosahas been placed highest on the global priority list of antibiotic-resistant bacteria for which alternative treatments are urgently needed. Former studies have highlighted the crucial role of the bacterial lectin LecA and the host cell glycosphingolipid globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) for the cellular uptake ofP. aeruginosainto epithelial cells via the lipid zipper mechanism. To further characterize the host cell plasma membrane domain for LecA-driven attachment and invasion, we analyzed the protein and lipid composition of pulled-down membrane domains for novel interaction partners of LecA by mass spectrometry. We unraveled a predilection of LecA for binding to saturated Gb3 species in the extracellular membrane leaflet and an induction of dynamic phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate clusters at the intracellular leaflet co-localizing with sites of LecA binding. Moreover, we identified the GPI-anchored protein CD59 and flotillins, known as cargo and eponymous component of flotillin-assisted endocytosis, as LecA interaction partners. Depletion of each of these host cell proteins resulted in more than 50% of reduction in invasiveness of theP. aeruginosastrain PAO1 highlighting the importance of this LecA-induced plasma membrane domain. Our strategy to reduce the complexity of host-pathogen interactions by first identifying interaction partners of a single virulence factor and subsequently transferring these findings to the bacterium has been proven to be a successful approach in elucidating the molecular mechanisms of bacterial infections.
