The molecular evolution of the adaptive response at the host-pathogen interface, known as an 'arms race,' involves strategies employed by the innate immune system to starve microbes of metals, countered by pathogens maintaining access to metal ions. Recent exploration of how evolution repurposes host and pathogen proteins to perform new functions is discussed, with a focus on metalloproteins restricting bacterial access to transition metals. Coevolution with bacterial metal acquisition systems and the evolution of metallo-?-lactamases in the context of host-imposed nutritional immunity are also examined.
The molecular evolution of the adaptive response at the host?pathogen interface has been frequently referred to as an 'arms race' between the host and bacterial pathogens. The innate immune system employs multiple strategies to starve microbes of metals. Pathogens, in turn, develop successful strategies to maintain access to bioavailable metal ions under conditions of extreme restriction of transition metals, or nutritional immunity. However, the processes by which evolution repurposes or re-engineers host and pathogen proteins to perform or refine new functions have been explored only recently. Here we review the molecular evolution of several human metalloproteins charged with restricting bacterial access to transition metals. These include the transition metalchelating S100 proteins, natural resistance-associated macrophage protein-1 (NRAMP-1), transferrin, lactoferrin, and heme-binding proteins. We examine their coevolution with bacterial transition metal acquisition systems, involving siderophores and membrane-spanning metal importers, and the biological specificity of allosteric transcriptional regulatory proteins tasked with maintaining bacterial metallostasis. We also discuss the evolution of metallo-?-lactamases; this illustrates how rapid antibiotic-mediated evolution of a zinc metalloenzyme obligatorily occurs in the context of host-imposed nutritional immunity.
