Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis survives inside the macrophages by employing several host immune evasion strategies. Here we reported a novel mechanism in which M. tuberculosis acetyltransferase, encoded by Rv3034c, induce peroxisome homeostasis to regulate host oxidative stress levels to facilitate intracellular mycobacterial infection. Presence of M. tuberculosis Rv3034c induces the expression of peroxisome biogenesis and proliferation factors such as Pex3, Pex5, Pex19, Pex11b, Fis‐1 and DLP‐1; while depletion of Rv3034c decreased the expression of these molecules, thereby selective degradation of peroxisomes via pexophagy. Further studies revealed that M. tuberculosis Rv3034c inhibit induction of pexophagy mechanism by down‐regulating the expression of pexophagy associated proteins (p‐AMPKα, p‐ULK‐1, Atg5, Atg7, Beclin‐1, LC3‐II, TFEB and Keap‐1) and adaptor molecules (NBR1 and p62). Inhibition was found to be dependent on the phosphorylation of mTORC1 and activation of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor‐γ. In order to maintain intracellular homeostasis during oxidative stress, M. tuberculosis Rv3034c was found to induce degradation of dysfunctional and damaged peroxisomes through activation of Pex14 in infected macrophages. In conclusion, this is the first report which demonstrated that M. tuberculosis acetyltransferase regulate peroxisome homeostasis in response to intracellular redox levels to favour mycobacterial infection in macrophage.Keywords
