Structural analysis of theN-acetyltransferase Eis1 fromMycobacterium abscessusreveals the molecular determinants of its incapacity to modify aminoglycosides

Kien Lam Ung et al.

Summary: Enhanced intracellular survival proteins play crucial roles in mycobacterial pathogenesis. While Eis2(Mab) in Mycobacterium abscessus contributes to virulence and aminoglycosides resistance, Eis1(Mab) does not exhibit the same function due to its narrow active site structure. This study highlights the structural differences between Eis1(Mab) and Eis2(Mab) that explain their distinct abilities to modify aminoglycosides.

Post-translational Lysine Ac(et)ylation in Bacteria: A Biochemical, Structural, and Synthetic Biological Perspective

Michael Lammers

Summary: Ac(et)ylation is a significant post-translational modification affecting essential cellular processes in all domains of life. It can occur at the ε-amino group of lysine side chains or at the α-amino group of proteins, and is involved in regulating protein function through various mechanisms including charge quenching, size alteration of lysine side chains, and interference with other modifications.

Stepwise pathogenic evolution of Mycobacterium abscessus

Josephine M. Bryant et al.

Summary: The study suggests that epigenetic modifiers acquired through horizontal gene transfer can lead to sudden increases in the pathogenic potential of specific environmental clones, while allopatric parallel evolution during chronic lung infection promotes rapid increases in virulence. The findings indicate that constrained pathogenic evolution is observed while person-to-person transmission remains indirect.
