Antifungal activity of a novel compound from Burkholderia cepacia against plant pathogenic fungi

AIMS: To investigate antifungal activity of a novel compound (named as CF66I provisionally) against plant pathogenic fungi, mainly including Fusarium sp., Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, Rhizoctonia solani, etc. METHODS AND RESULTS: Minimal inhibition concentrations (MIC) and minimal fungicidal concentrations (MFC) of CF66I for each fungi were determined using serial broth dilution method. The data demonstrated MIC ranged from 2.5 to 20.0 microg ml(-1) and MFC were shown at levels of < or =7.5 microg ml(-1) except Fusarium sp. With reverse microscopy, profound morphological alterations of fungal cells were observed after exposure to CF66I. Conidiospores were completely inhibited, and protoplasm aggregated to form chalamydospores because of the changes of cell permeability. Some chalamydospores were broken, suggesting the compound probably possessed strong ability of damaging the cell wall. In addition, CF66I was investigated for its antifungal stability against Curvularia lunata. The results showed CF66I kept strong fungi-static activity over-wide pH range (pH 4-9) and temperature range (from -70 to 120 degrees C). CONCLUSIONS: The compound CF66I exhibited strong and stable broad-spectrum antifungal activity, and had a significant fungicidal effect on fungal cells. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Results from prebiocontrol evaluations performed to date are probably useful in the search for alternative approaches to controlling serious plant pathogens.     

Multiple effects of a novel compound from Burkholderia cepacia against Candida albicans

A novel compound (named CF66I) produced by Burkholeria cepacia CF-66 strain was investigated for its antifungal activity against Candida albicans. This compound exhibited excellent antifungal activity in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Uptake analysis revealed that the compound preferentially acted against the fungal cell wall, and was also able to enter the cells. Transmission electron microscopy indicated that this compound caused loosening of the cell wall and a significant increase in the cell wall thickness was noted; however, no alterations were observed in the contents of the cell wall components. CF66I probably affected the normal assembly and integration of fungal cell wall components by interrupting the weak interactions between them, such as hydrogen and hydrophobic bonds. Propidium iodide (PI) staining indicated that on exposure to CF66I C. albicans cells became permeable to PI. Marked alterations in lipid and sterol contents were observed, and the major changes were a depletion of total lipids and ergosterol, concomitant with an increase in lanosterol content. These observations suggested that the novel compound CF66I may have considerable potential for development of a new class of antifungal agents.

Comparative molecular dynamics simulations of HIV-1 integrase and the T66I/M154I mutant: binding modes and drug resistance to a diketo acid inhibitor

HIV-1 IN is an essential enzyme for viral replication and an interesting target for the design of new pharmaceuticals for use in multidrug therapy of AIDS. L-731,988 is one of the most active molecules of the class of beta-diketo acids. Individual and combined mutations of HIV-1 IN at residues T66, S153, and M154 confer important degrees of resistance to one or more inhibitors belonging to this class. In an effort to understand the molecular mechanism of the resistance of T66I/M154I IN to the inhibitor L-731,988 and its specific binding modes, we have carried out docking studies, explicit solvent MD simulations, and binding free energy calculations. The inhibitor was docked against different protein conformations chosen from prior MD trajectories, resulting in 2 major orientations within the active site. MD simulations have been carried out for the T66I/M154I DM IN, DM IN in complex with L-731,988 in 2 different orientations, and 1QS4 IN in complex with L-731,988. The results of these simulations show a similar dynamical behavior between T66I/M154I IN alone and in complex with L-731,988, while significant differences are observed in the mobility of the IN catalytic loop (residues 138-149). Water molecules bridging the inhibitor to residues from the active site have been identified, and residue Gln62 has been found to play an important role in the interactions between the inhibitor and the protein. This work provides information about the binding modes of L-731,988, as well as insight into the mechanism of inhibitor-resistance in HIV-1 integrase.     

Chloroplastic ATP synthase builds up a proton motive force preventing production of reactive oxygen species in photosystem I

Over‐reduction of the photosynthetic electron transport (PET) chain should be avoided, because the accumulation of reducing electron carriers produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) within photosystem I (PSI) in thylakoid membranes and causes oxidative damage to chloroplasts. To prevent production of ROS in thylakoid membranes the H⁺ gradient (ΔpH) needs to be built up across the thylakoid membranes to suppress the over‐reduction state of the PET chain. In this study, we aimed to identify the critical component that stimulates ΔpH formation under illumination in higher plants. To do this, we screened ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS)‐treated Arabidopsis thaliana, in which the formation of ΔpH is impaired and the PET chain caused over‐reduction under illumination. Subsequently, we isolated an allelic mutant that carries a missense mutation in the γ‐subunit of chloroplastic CF₀CF₁‐ATP synthase, named hope2. We found that hope2 suppressed the formation of ΔpH during photosynthesis because of the high H⁺ efflux activity from the lumenal to stromal side of the thylakoid membranes via CF₀CF₁‐ATP synthase. Furthermore, PSI was in a more reduced state in hope2 than in wild‐type (WT) plants, and hope2 was more vulnerable to PSI photoinhibition than WT under illumination. These results suggested that chloroplastic CF₀CF₁‐ATP synthase adjusts the redox state of the PET chain, especially for PSI, by modulating H⁺ efflux activity across the thylakoid membranes. Our findings suggest the importance of the buildup of ΔpH depending on CF₀CF₁‐ATP synthase to adjust the redox state of the reaction center chlorophyll P700 in PSI and to suppress the production of ROS in PSI during photosynthesis.     

Characterization of Genes Involved in Biosynthesis of a Novel Antibiotic from Burkholderia cepacia BC11 and Their Role in Biological Control of Rhizoctonia solani

Genetic manipulation of fluorescent pseudomonads has provided major insight into their production of antifungal molecules and their role in biological control of plant disease. Burkholderia cepacia also produces antifungal activities, but its biological control activity is much less well characterized, in part due to difficulties in applying genetic tools. Here we report genetic and biochemical characterization of a soil isolate of B. cepacia relating to its production of an unusual antibiotic that is very active against a variety of soil fungi. Purification and preliminary structural analyses suggest that this antibiotic (called AFC-BC11) is a novel lipopeptide associated largely with the cell membrane. Analysis of conditions for optimal production of AFC-BC11 indicated stringent environmental regulation of its synthesis. Furthermore, we show that production of AFC-BC11 is largely responsible for the ability of B. cepacia BC11 to effectively control the damping-off of cotton caused by the fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani in a gnotobiotic system. Using Tn5 mutagenesis, we identified, cloned, and characterized a region of the genome of strain BC11 that is required for production of this antifungal metabolite. DNA sequence analysis suggested that this region encodes proteins directly involved in the production of a nonribosomally synthesized lipopeptide.     

Usefulness of Sau-PCR for molecular epidemiology of nosocomial outbreaks due to Burkholderia cepacia which occurred in a local hospital in Guangzhou, China

The aim of the present study was to determine the source of nosocomial outbreak due to Burkholderia cepacia by molecular techniques. A total of 11 B. cepacia strains were isolated; nine from blood and one from sputum of patients without cystic fibrosis, and one from reverse osmosis water at a local hospital in Guangzhou, China. Analyses of 11 strains by the Sau-PCR assay and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis revealed that nine strains obtained from the blood of outpatients in a hemodialysis unit and one strain from reverse osmosis water had identical DNA profiles, indicating that the reverse osmosis water supply could be a source of infection.
