Abstract
SUMMARYBacterial phosphosignaling has long been synonymous with the histidine kinases of the two component systems, but many bacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), also code for Ser/Thr protein kinases (STPKs). STPKs are the main phosphosignaling enzymes in eukaryotes, but the full extent of phosphorylation on protein Ser/Thr and Tyr (O-phosphorylation) in bacteria remains unclear. Here, we explored the global signaling capacity of the STPKs in Mtb. We generated STPK loss-and gain-of-function strains and measured the resulting O-phosphorylation and transcriptional changes. This deep phosphoproteome shows that O-phosphorylation in Mtb is an underexplored protein modification that affects >70% of the proteome. The substrate-STPK interactions show an extensive interface with the transcriptional machinery, resulting in regulation of gene expression of ∼30% of Mtb genes. Mtb O-phosphorylation gives rise to an expansive, distributed, and cooperative network of a complexity that has previously only been associated with eukaryotic phosphosignaling networks.
