Bacterial resistance has become a serious threat to human health. In particular, the gradual development of resistance to polymyxins, the last line of defense for human infections, is a major issue. Secreted proteins contribute to the interactions between bacteria and the environment. In this study, we compared the secretomes of polymyxin B-sensitive and -resistant Escherichia coli strains by data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry. In total, 87 differentially expressed secreted proteins were identified in polymyxin B-resistant E. coli compared to the sensitive strain. A GO enrichment analysis indicated that the differentially expressed proteins were involved in biological processes, including bacterial-type flagellum-dependent cell motility, ion transport, carbohydrate derivative biosynthetic process, cellular response to stimulus, organelle organization, and cell wall organization or biogenesis. The differentially expressed secreted proteins in polymyxin B-resistant bacteria were enriched for multiple pathways, suggesting that the resistance phenotype depends on complex regulatory mechanisms. A potential biomarker or drug target (YebV) was found in polymyxin B-resistant E. coli. This work clarifies the secretome changes associated with the acquisition of polymyxin resistance and may contribute to drug development.Arf proteins are small Ras-family GTPases which recruit clathrin and COPI coats to Golgi membranes and regulate components of the membrane trafficking machinery. It is believed membrane association and activity of Arfs is coupled to GTP binding, with GTP hydrolysis required for vesicle uncoating. In humans, four Arf proteins (Arf1, Arf3, Arf4 and Arf5) are Golgi-associated. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/doxycycline.html Conflicting reports have suggested that HA-GFP-tagged Class II ARFs (Arf4 and Arf5) are recruited to membrane independently of the brefeldin A sensitive exchange factor GBF1, suggesting regulation fundamentally different from the Class I Arfs (Arf1, Arf3), or alternately that the GTPase cycle of GFP-tagged Class II Arfs is similar to other Arfs. We show that these results depend on the fluorescent tag, with Arf4-HA-GFP tag resistant to brefeldin, but Arf4-GFP acting similarly to Arf1-GFP in brefeldin-sensitivity and photobleach assays. Arf4-HA-GFP could be partially reverted to the behavior of Arf4-GFP by mutation of two aspartic acids in the HA tag to alanine. Our results, which indicate a high sensitivity of Arf4 to tagging, can explain the discrepancies between previous studies. We discuss the implications of this study for future work with tagged Arfs.Mitophagy regulates the metabolic level and cell fates by specifically degrading damaged or redundant mitochondria in these cells. During the formation of autophagosomes, autophagy receptors and adaptors, which usually contain a LC3-interacting region (LIR) domain, are recruited through their interactions with LC3/GABARAP family of proteins. Bcl-rambo is one of the mitophagy receptors that interact with LC3s/GABARAPs. In this study, we first measured the binding of Bcl-rambo to LC3s/GABARAPs in vitro and found Bcl-rambo has a selectivity to LC3C/GABARP/GABARAPL1. Further investigations with bioinformatics analyses and mutagenesis suggested that the interactions with the HP1 and HP2 sites of LC3s/GABARAPs and the residues at the X2 site of the LIR domain of Bcl-rambo are both critical for the selectivity. Moreover, assays in vivo showed that manipulating the selective binding of Bcl-rambo resulted in the changes of mitophagy inductions in the cells. Overall, our data revealed the selective binding between Bcl-rambo and LC3s/GABARAPs and its molecular mechanisms and biological significances, which will be helpful for future studies of mitophagy mediated by Bcl-rambo.Bicarbonate has been known to modulate activities of various mitochondrial enzymes such as ATPase and soluble adenylyl cyclase. Here, we found that the ability of conventional protonophoric uncouplers, such as 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), carbonylcyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP) and carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone (CCCP), but not that of the new popular uncoupler BAM15, to decrease mitochondrial membrane potential was significantly diminished in the presence of millimolar concentrations of bicarbonate. Thus, the depolarizing activity of DNP and FCCP in mitochondria could be sensitive to the local concentration of bicarbonate in cells and tissues. However, bicarbonate could not restore the ATP synthesis suppressed by DNP or CCCP in mitochondria. Bicarbonate neither altered the depolarizing action of DNP and FCCP on proteoliposomes with reconstituted cytochrome c oxidase, nor affected the protonophoric activity of DNP and FCCP in artificial lipid membranes as measured with pyranine-loaded liposomes, thereby showing that the bicarbonate-induced reversal of the depolarizing action of DNP and FCCP on mitochondria did not result from direct interaction of bicarbonate with the uncouplers.Recent advances in cancer biology reveal the importance of metabolic changes in cancer; however, less is known about how metabolic pathways in tumors are regulated in vivo. Here, we report analysis of the lung cancer metabolism based on different surgical procedures, namely lobectomy and partial resection. In lobectomy, but not in partial resection, pulmonary arteries and veins are ligated prior to removal of tissues, rendering tissues ischemic. We show that tumors indeed undergo ischemia upon lobectomy and that the tumor metabolome differs markedly from that of tumors removed by partial resection. Comparison of the responses to ischemia in tumor and normal lung tissues revealed that lung cancer tissue exhibits greater TCA cycle and autophagic activity than do normal lung tissues in vivo in patients. Finally, we report that deleting ATG7, which encodes a protein essential for autophagy, antagonizes growth of tumors derived from lung cancer cell lines, suggesting that autophagy confers metabolic advantages to lung cancer. Our findings shed light on divergent metabolic responses to ischemia seen in tumors and normal tissues.The disease burden of sepsis continues to increase, with intraabdominal contamination being a significant source of infection. Sepsis is a syndrome involving both an increase in systemic inflammation as well as a regulatory component. We have previously demonstrated that neutrophils are significant IL-10 producers in the abdomen during sepsis. Here, we sought to further characterize these neutrophils and elucidate potential underlying mechanisms resulting in IL-10 generation. Using transcriptional reporter mice, we observed that IL-10 producing neutrophils were activated, non-apoptotic, and expressed C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4-expressing. Further, we observed that active Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 1 expression was significantly increased in IL-10 producing versus non-IL-10 producing neutrophils. During sepsis, IFN-γ blockade lead to a decrease of neutrophil IL-10 production, while peritoneal CD4 T cells were found to be the most numerous acute producers of IFN-γ. Altogether, this report demonstrates that during sepsis, mature neutrophils can potentially dampen local inflammation by IL-10 production and this can be orchestrated by CD4 T cells through an IFN-γ dependent manner.
