Abstract

Mycoplasmas (class Mollicutes), the smallest prokaryotes capable of self-

CE

replication, as well as Archaea, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria constitutively produce extracellular vesicles (EVs). However, little is known

AC

regarding the content and functions of mycoplasma vesicles. Here, we present for the first time a proteomics-based characterisation of extracellular membrane vesicles from A. laidlawii PG8. The ubiquitous mycoplasma is widespread in nature, found in humans, animals and plants, and is the causative agent of phytomycoplasmoses and the predominant contaminant of cell cultures. Taking a proteomics approach using LC-ESI-MS/MS, we identified 97 proteins. Analysis of the identified proteins indicated that A. laidlawii-derived EVs are enriched in virulence proteins that may play critical roles in mycoplasma-induced pathogenesis. Our data will help to elucidate the functions of mycoplasma-derived EVs and to develop effective methods to control infections and contaminations of cell cultures by mycoplasmas.

1. Introduction A. laidlawii (class Mollicutes) is a ubiquitous mycoplasma that is widespread

T

in nature, found in tissues from humans, animals and plants. A. laidlawii is the

RI P

causative agent of phytomycoplasmoses and the predominant contaminant of cell cultures [1, 2, 3]. Control of mycoplasma infections and contaminations presents a

SC

serious concern for the biotechnology, cell biology, health care service and agricultural sectors [4]. Solving this problem is considered to involve the

MA NU

investigation of adaptation of mycoplasma to stressful environmental conditions, the mechanisms of their survival in various polymicrobial communities and the realisation of their virulence [5]. Recently, it became apparent that a significant contributor to the aforementioned processes may be bacterial extracellular membrane vesicles [6, 7]. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) present the most important

ED

component of the bacterial secretome. Identified a few decades ago in Gramnegative bacteria, EVs were recently detected in Gram-positive bacteria [8],

PT

Archaea [9] and the simplest wall-less bacteria, mycoplasmas [10], and became an

CE

object of serious attention among researchers. It was found that extracellular membrane vesicles are composed of lipopolysaccharide, lipids, soluble or

AC

membrane-associated proteins, genetic materials and other factors associated with virulence [11]. EVs have been proposed to play diverse roles, including the transfer of a broad range of components, participation in cell-to-cell communication, pathogenesis and to present a new class of infects. The investigation of EVs is necessary to elucidate the mechanisms of the antagonistic relationship between bacteria and the microbial community, the interaction between microflora in higher eukaryotes and colonised cells and the development of a strategy to control pathogens [7, 12]. To perform the corresponding investigations, comprehensive characterisation of EVs is required that may include the application of a complex approach based on modern physicochemical and molecular methods, including post-genomics technologies. The results of proteomics-based characterisation of EVs in a range of bacteria have already been

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 3

documented in databases. However, data related to EVs derived from mycoplasmas are lacking. In this context, global proteomic profiling of extracellular membrane vesicles from A. laidlawii and identification of proteins

T

exported from mycoplasma cells via vesicular structures were the aims of this

RI P

study.

In the present study, global proteomic profiling of A. laidlawii PG8 EVs was

SC

performed for the first time. We identified a total of 97 proteins contained in bacterium-free EVs. Analysis of the identified proteins indicated that A. laidlawii-

MA NU

derived EVs are enriched in virulence proteins, which can play critical roles in mycoplasma-induced pathogenesis. We hope that this study opens the recently emerging field of mycoplasma EVs.

2. Materials and Methods

ED

2.1. Cell culture and purification of EVs A. laidlawii strain PG8, obtained from the N.F. Gamaleya Institute of

PT

Epidemiology and Microbiology (Moscow), was used in this study. The

CE

mycoplasma cells were cultured in liquid modified Edward’s medium (tryptose, 2% [w/v]; NaCl, 0.5% [w/v]; KCl, 0.13% [w/v]; Tris base, 0.3% [w/v]; horse

AC

serum, 10% [w/v]; yeast extract, 5% [w/v]; glucose solution, 1% [w/v]; benzylpenicillin [500,000 IE/mL], 0.2% [w/v]). Isolation of membrane vesicles from A. laidlawii PG8 cultures was performed according to Kolling and Matthews [13], with some modifications. The cells were precipitated via centrifugation at 5000 g for 20 min. The supernatant was filtered through a 0.10 µm filter (Sartorius Minisart, France), and the filtrate was concentrated 20-fold via ultrafiltration (Vivacell 100, 100,000 MWCO, Sartorius Stedim Biotech GmbH, Germany). Vesicles were collected via ultracentrifugation (100,000 g, 1 h, 8°C) using a MLA80 rotor (Beckman Coulter OptimaTM MAX-E), washed twice and resuspended in buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH = 7.4; 150 mM NaCl; 2 mM MgCl2). The suspension was placed on a stepwise density gradient (10% - 30% - 40% Optiprep in 50 mM Tris-HCl supplemented with 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.4). After centrifugation at

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 4

100,000 g for 3 h at 8°C, the fraction containing EVs was collected superiorly, diluted threefold in buffer and then centrifuged again. The pellet was resuspended in 50 mM Tris-HCl supplemented with 1mM PMSF (Fluka, Germany)". The

T

protein concentrations of the samples were measured via the Bradford method

RI P

using "Quick Start Bradford dye" (Bio-Rad). The isolation of vesicles from A. laidlawii PG8 cultures and the subsequent analyses were performed on 3 biological

SC

and 2 technical replicates.

MA NU

2.2. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses TEM was performed according to the method of Cole [14]. The samples were fixed using 2.5% glutaraldehyde (Fluka, Germany) in 0.1 M phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (pH 7.2) for 2 h. The fixed samples were then dehydrated using an

ED

acetone, ethanol and propylene series prior to post-fixation in 0.1% OsO4 containing 25 mg/ml of saccharose. After treatment with epoxy resin (Serva,

PT

Switzerland), ultrathin sections were sliced using an LKB-III ultramicrotome

CE

(Sweden). The sections were stained with uranyl acetate for 10 min and lead citrate for 10 min. The stained samples were examined using a JEM-1200EX transmission

AC

electron microscope (Joel, Japan). To prepare samples for AFM analysis, aliquots of the A. laidlawii PG8 cells (1 mL) were centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 20 min at room temperature. The pellet was resuspended in 1 mL of PBS (pH 7.2). The prepared cells and EVs suspension were placed onto mica (Advanced Technologies Centre, Moscow, Russia) where the upper layer was removed. The cells were air-dried and washed twice with redistilled water. The samples were air-dried after each wash. AFM imaging was performed using a Solver P47H atomic force microscope (NT-MDT, Moscow, Russia) that was operated in the tapping mode using fpN11S cantilevers (r≤10 nm, Advanced Technologies Centre, Moscow, Russia). The height, the signal from the lock-in amplifier (Mag), the signal from the RMS detector (RMS), and the signal from the phase detector (phase) were set using

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 5

Nova 1.0.26 RC1 software (NT-MDT). The scan rate was 1Hz, and the image resolution was 512 × 512 pixels. SEM analyses were performed as described by Pich et al. [15]. For this

T

purpose, EVs from A. laidlawii PG8 were fixed using 1% glutaraldehyde for 1 h.

RI P

The samples were washed with 50 mM Tris-HCl, dried and sputter coated with 15 nm of gold/palladium using a Quorum Q150T ES coating system. The samples

SC

were observed using a Merlin Carl Zeiss scanning electron microscope.

2.3. SDS-PAGE

Protein samples (7 µg) from membrane, cytoplasm and purified EVs were prepared as described previously [16] and analyzed via SDS-PAGE (12% resolving gel). The gel was subsequently stained with CBB R-250.

ED

2.4. In-solution digestion

Purified EVs (150 µg) were resolved using a digestion solution consisting of 9

PT

M urea and 40 mM ammonium bicarbonate in HPLC-grade water. Protein

CE

reduction was performed using 25 mM DTT for 1 h, followed by alkylation using 25 mM iodoacetamide in the dark for 45 min at room temperature. The samples

AC

were diluted (1:10) in 200 mM NH4HCO3 and digested in-solution using 5 ng/mL of trypsin Gold (Promega, USA) for 18 h at 37°C. The samples were desalted using ZipTipC18 (Millipore).

2.5. LC-ESI-MS/MS analysis and identification of proteins Analysis was performed using a TripleTOF 5600+ mass spectrometer with a NanoSpray III ion source (ABSciex, Canada) coupled with a NanoLC Ultra 2D+ nano-HPLC system (Eksigent, Dublin, CA). The HPLC system was configured in the trap-elute mode. For the sample loading buffer and buffer A, a mixture of 98.9% water, 1% methanol and 0.1% formic acid (v/v) was used. Buffer B was 99.9% acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid (v/v). Aliquots of 70 µg protein were used for MS/MS analysis. The samples were loaded on a Chrom XP C18 trap column

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 6

(Eksigent) at a flow rate of 3 μl/min for 10 min and eluted through the 3C18-CL120 separation column (Eksigent) at a flow rate of 300 nl/min. The gradient was from 5 to 40% of buffer B over 120 min. The column and the precolumn were

T

regenerated between runs by washing with 95% buffer B for 7 min and

RI P

equilibrated using 5% buffer B for 25 min.

The information-dependent mass spectrometry (MS) experiments included 1

SC

survey MS1 scan followed by 50 dependent MS2 scans. The MS1 acquisition parameters were as follows: the mass range for analysis and subsequent ion

MA NU

selection for MS2 analysis was 300-1250 m/z, and the signal accumulation time was 250 ms. The ions were selected for MS2 analysis based on their intensity using a threshold of 400 cps and a charge state from 2 to 5. The MS2 acquisition parameters were as follows: the resolution of the quadrupole was set as UNIT (0.7 Da), the mass range was 200-1800 m/z, the focus of the ion beam was optimised to

ED

attain maximal sensitivity, and the signal accumulation time was 50 ms for each parent ion. Collision-activated dissociation was performed using nitrogen gas and a

PT

collision energy ramping from 25 to 55 V within the 50 ms signal accumulation

CE

time. The analysed parent ions were sent to the dynamic exclusion list for 15 sec in order to obtain an MS2 spectra at the chromatographic peak apex (the minimum

AC

peak width throughout the gradient was approximately 30 sec). The MS/MS spectra were searched using MASCOT software (Matrix Science, Inc.),

The

exponentially modified protein abundance index (emPAI) was generated using MASCOT software [17].

2.6. Subcellular localisation and function of the identified proteins The subcellular locations of the proteins were analysed using the Psortb v3.0.2 database [18]. The functions of each protein were categorised according to the clusters of orthologous groups of proteins (COG) method [19].

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 7

2.7. Western blot analysis Proteins from EVs and whole cell lysates were separated via 12% SDS-PAGE and transferred to Hybond C nitrocellulose (GE Healthcare, USA) as described

T

previously [20]. The membrane was blocked using 3% skim milk in PBS for 30

RI P

min. The antibodies against Hsp20 were diluted 1:1000. Recombinant A. laidlawii PG8 Hsp20 protein and the Hsp20 antibodies were obtained as described

SC

previously [20].

The secondary antibodies (goat anti-rabbit antibodies conjugated with

MA NU

horseradish peroxidase, Sigma, USA) were diluted 1:10,000. The membrane was incubated in primary and secondary antibodies for 1 h, and after each step, the membrane was carefully washed with PBS. The membranes were stained with DAB (Sigma, USA). Lysates from M. gallisepticum A5969B cells were used as a

ED

negative control.

2.8. Immuno-electron microscopy

PT

A. laidlawii cells and EVs were fixed using formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde

CE

at final concentrations of 2% and 0.2%, respectively. The cells and the EVs were fixed at room temperature for 12 h and were collected via centrifugation (10,000 g

AC

for 10 min and 100,000 g for 1 h, respectively). The pellet was dehydrated using increasing concentrations of ethanol and embedded in LR-White resin (Polyscience,

Inc.,

USA).

LR-White

was

polymerised

at

50°C.

Immunocytochemistry was performed on ultrathin sections according to a standard protocol [20]. Hsp20-specific antibodies were used at 1:50 dilutions in PBS supplemented with 0.1% BSA. To visualise the distribution of the Hsp20 protein, goat anti-rabbit antibodies conjugated to 15-nm colloid gold particles (EY Laboratories, Inc., USA) were used. The sections were stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate and examined using a JEM-100U electron microscope. Sections incubated in the absence of the polyclonal antibodies or incubated in rabbit preimmune serum served as negative controls.

3. Results 3.1. Production of EVs from A. laidlawii We were the first to demonstrate that mycoplasma A. laidlawii PG8 naturally

T

produces EVs during in vitro culture [10]. When thin sections of A. laidlawii PG8

RI P

cells (log phase) cultured in Edward medium were analysed via TEM, EVs were apparent on the surface of the mycoplasma (Fig. 1A). Moreover, secreted EVs

SC

were observed in the surrounding milieu based on TEM and AFM analyses (Fig. 1A, B, F, G). Similar to native OMVs from Gram-negative bacteria and EVs from

MA NU

Gram-positive bacteria, EVs from A. laidlawii PG8 are spherical, bilayered, and closed membranous structures. The diameter of the mycoplasma EVs ranged from 70 to 120 nm; single vesicles whole diameter less than 70 nm and more than 120 nm were also revealed (about 5%). To obtain EVs for this study, we purified EVs from A. laidlawii PG8 as described previously [10] with some modifications

ED

(additional washing steps and density gradient ultracentrifugation using OptiPrep). Typically, we obtained 700-800 µg (wet weight) of EVs from 1 L of A. laidlawii

PT

PG8 culture broth. TEM, AFM and SEM analyses revealed that purified EVs were

CE

closed vesicular bodies, and no membrane whorls or cell fragments were detected (Fig. 1, C-E, H-J). The size of the purified EVs was similar to that of OMVs and

AC

MVs from Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, respectively [8, 21], and was consistent with our previous data [10]. SDS-PAGE analysis revealed that A. laidlawii EVs contain distinct protein patterns compared to other subcellular locations (Fig. 2), suggesting that sorting mechanisms similar to those of Gramnegative bacterial OMVs and Gram-positive bacterial EVs are involved in the production of EVs [8, 21, 22].

3.2. Proteomic analysis of A. laidlawii-derived EVs We performed proteomic analysis of purified A. laidlawii-derived EVs using LC-ESI-MS/MS and identified a total of 97 vesicular proteins, which are listed in Table 1. Information regarding the protein properties and detailed peptide data corresponding to the identified proteins are presented in Table S1. DnaK,

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 9

triosephosphate isomerase, phosphoglycerate kinase, heat shock protein Hsp20, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, purine-nucleoside phosphorylase and enolase were the most abundant vesicular proteins. Fig. 3A contains a

T

representative peptide mass fingerprinting spectrum of Hsp20. We further verified

RI P

the presence of this protein in EVs via Western blot using a rabbit anti-Hsp20 antibody (Fig. 3B). The recombinant protein Hsp20 (19.65 kDa) is comprised of

SC

the full-length native Hsp20 sequence (15.2 kDa) fused in frame with the translated region (4 kDa) of pET-15b plasmid vector, which contains the "histidine tail" (for

MA NU

extraction from the cell lysate by affinity chromatography) [20]. Immuno-gold labelling of EVs using a goat anti-rabbit antibody also revealed positive staining (Fig. 3C).

The identified proteins were classified into four groups, as shown in Fig. 4, based on their localisation in the bacteria: cytoplasm (73), membrane (5),

ED

extracellular region (2) and unknown localisation (17). Many cytoplasmic proteins (53) were found in the A. laidlawii-derived EVs, most of which were metabolic or

PT

ribosomal proteins. The functions of the 97 vesicular proteins identified in EVs

CE

were categorised according to the COG method [19]. The vesicular proteins from A. laidlawii are involved in translation, ribosomal structure and biogenesis (22),

AC

transcription (3), replication, recombination and repair (2), defense mechanisms (1), cell wall/membrane/envelope biogenesis (1), intracellular trafficking, secretion and vesicular transport (1), posttranslational modification, protein turnover and chaperones (6), energy production and conversion (12), carbohydrate transport and metabolism (19), amino acid transport and metabolism (6), nucleotide transport and metabolism (3), inorganic ion transport and metabolism (1) and secondary metabolite biosynthesis, transport and catabolism (2), while the functions of 18 proteins are poorly characterised or unknown (Fig. 4). A. laidlawii-derived EVs contained 37 proteins associated with bacterial virulence (Table 1). The virulence factors include enzymes participating in the degradation of proteins and peptides (4), nucleic acids (2) and polysaccharides (6), adhesins (3) and some others (22)

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 10

that may play pathological roles for plants, animals and humans when infected by mycoplasma.

T

4. Discussion

RI P

Taking a proteomics approach using LC-ESI-MS/MS, we have documented for the first time the proteins in EVs secreted by A. laidlawii PG8 mycoplasma

SC

cells (Table 1). We identified 97 proteins, representing 7% of the theoretical A. laidlawii PG8 proteome (1380 proteins). Protein identification was considered to

MA NU

be significant when two or more unique peptides were detected (pepscore ≥ 6). According to the data from the literature, the number of proteins secreted as contents

of

extracellular

membrane

vesicles

varies

among

different

microorganisms in a range of ~3-24% of the corresponding theoretical proteome, but this percentage does not exceed 8% among the majority of microbes [8, 21, 22,

ED

24]. To verify the obtained data, we performed Western blot analysis (Fig. 3B) as well as immuno-electron microscopy (Fig. 3C) to detect heat shock protein Hsp20

PT

in mycoplasma-free EVs. Hsp20 is a chaperone that participates in polypeptide

CE

folding and maintenance of cytoplasmic membrane integrity under stressful conditions [25, 26]. Previously, this protein of A. laidlawii was found to be

AC

localised to the cytoplasm, as well as plasma membrane and the extracellular space, based on immuno-electron microscopy [20]. The obtained data (Table 1, Fig. 3) demonstrated that Hsp20 protein is located on the membrane as well as inside of A. laidlawii EVs, and its abundance is greater than that of other proteins (Mol% = 7.24), which may indicate an important role of this protein in vesicles and/or target cells. The identified proteins of A. laidlawii EVs were classified according to Psortb. Based on this classification, the number of membrane proteins in mycoplasma EVs is significantly less than the number of cytoplasmic proteins. It is known that the predicted protein localisation according to this approach is not always correct, and falsehoods are possible when using this classification method [27]. According to the data reported by Serebryakova et al. [28], in which 17

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 11

acylated and 192 membrane-associated proteins of A. laidlawii were identified, the number of membrane proteins identified in mycoplasma-derived EVs may reach 19 (19.6%). Nevertheless, the obtained results indicate the predominance of

T

cytoplasmic proteins in A. laidlawii EVs. Similar results were also obtained for

RI P

vesicles from some other bacteria [8, 21, 22] and microvesicles from mammals [23]. These results may highlight the sorting membrane and cytoplasmic proteins

in each corresponding situation.

SC

in EVs derived from corresponding organisms and indicate their principal function

MA NU

According to the COG classification method (Fig 4B), a majority of the identified proteins are involved in fundamental cell processes in A. laidlawii. In fact, some identified cytoplasmic proteins participating in fundamental cell processes, such as elongation factors EF-Tu and EF-G, chaperones GroEL and DnaK, subunits of DNA-dependent RNA-polymerase and ribosomal proteins, are

ED

also detected in EVs from many other microorganisms [8, 21, 22, 24], including both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria (Fig. 5). This finding might

PT

indicate their particular role in the bacterial population as proteins exported via

CE

EVs. Clarification of their roles, as well the mechanisms of polypeptide sorting, remains to be elucidated.

AC

Many proteins (41%) detected in A. laidlawii EVs were previously identified in our studies [5] as stress-responsive mycoplasma proteins (Fig. 6). Significant modulation in the expression of these proteins in A. laidlawii cells occurred when these bacteria were cultivated under stressful conditions. Moreover, a significant increase in the vesiculation level was detected in A. laidlawii PG8 cultures. The alteration of the expression levels of RpoB, TufB, EF-G, IF-2, ProRS, GlyRS, GlyA, GAPDH, PdhA, PdhB, AckA, PepF and β-lac in A. laidlawii PG8 cells and the significant increase in the vesiculation level of the mycoplasma under stressful conditions may be interrelated processes. Similar data were also reported regarding a variety of bacteria [29, 30]. These data indicate that essential processes of bacterial adaptation to stressors may be mediated by proteins contained in EVs.

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 12

We identified 37 proteins in A. laidlawii EVs that are considered as factors of bacterial virulence (Table 1). The relative abundance of these proteins (Mol%) was 59.5%. Moreover, 45.5% correspond to enolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate triosephosphate

isomerase,

phosphoglyceromutase,

T

dehydrogenase,

RI P

phosphoglycerate kinase (catalyse reactions of glycolysis), heat shock protein Hsp20, molecular chaperone DnaK (participate in protein folding) and translation

SC

elongation factor EF-Ts (participates in protein synthesis). It is suggested that enolase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase may facilitate the

MA NU

adhesion of vesicles to various surfaces [31]. The identified vesicular proteins of A. laidlawii that are associated with bacterial virulence may be involved in cell-tocell communication and pathogenesis.

Previously, it was reported in our studies [3, 10] that EVs from A. laidlawii PG8 exhibit infectious characteristics with respect to virulence and

ED

may contribute to the phytopathogenicity of this mycoplasma. A. laidlawii EVs penetrate plants via the root system faster than the mycoplasma cells – 20 min after

PT

growth in medium containing A. laidlawii PG8 - while the mycoplasma cells are

CE

detected in plants only after 7-8 days [3]. Metalloproteases detected within A. laidlawii-derived EVs might contribute to the invasion of vesicles and/or cells

AC

via the cell wall of plants. The participation of metalloproteases in the invasion of phytopathogens was reported [32]. However, the role of these enzymes contained in bacterial EVs in phytopathogenesis remains to be explored. A. laidlawii-derived

EVs

were

demonstrated

to

contain

enzymes

participating in the degradation of proteins and peptides (aminopeptidase T, peptidase M3, oligoendopeptidase F, Zn-dependent protease and others), nucleic acids (polyribonucleotide nucleotidyltransferase and

metallo-beta-lactamase

superfamily protein) and polysaccharides (pullulanase, glycogen phosphorylase and α-amylase) that may act on the corresponding structures of target cells. Some of the vesicular proteins of A. laidlawii PG8, such as enolase, glyceraldehyde-3phosphate dehydrogenase and the surface-linked protein containing a VWFA domain, may act as adhesins [33]. Moreover, the surface-linked protein containing

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 13

a VWFA domain might be involved in the pathology of the hemostasis system routinely observed in patients suffering from persistent bacterial infections [34]. The presence of polyribonucleotide nucleotidyltransferase (PNPase),

T

considered to function as a global regulator of bacterial virulence [35], in

RI P

A. laidlawii EVs is of particular interest. It was demonstrated that bacterial PNPase may display RNase or DNase activity depending on the environmental conditions

SC

[36]. Because bacterial DNases may induce chromosomal mutations in eukaryotic cells [37], the clastogenic effect of A. laidlawii PG8 EVs, reported previously in

MA NU

our works [10], might be associated with this enzyme. The difficulty in suppressing mycoplasma infections and contaminations is well recognised [1]. The mechanisms by which mycoplasma rapidly adapt to antibacterial drugs are unclear. In our studies, we demonstrated the participation of EVs

from

A. laidlawii PG8

in

the

resistance

of

the

to

ED

fluoroquinolones [38]. We revealed that A. laidlawii PG8 EVs mediate the efflux of ciprofloxacin and the export of the nucleotide sequence of an antibiotic target

PT

gene (parC) that contains a mutation in the QRDR locus. Recently, it was reported

CE

that Staphylococcus aureus EVs may participate in the transport of biologically active β-lactamase to confer bacterial resistance to antibiotics in microbial

AC

communities [39]. The authors demonstrated that S. aureus released β-lactamase protein via extracellular vesicles, and the release of these EVs enabled other ampicillin-susceptible Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria to survive in the presence of ampicillin. These results indicate that bacterial EVs might play an important role in intercellular communication to mediate the survival of microorganisms in bacterial communities. In the context of intercellular communication and the development of resistance to antibacterial drugs in microbial communities, the protein of the metallo-β-lactamase family identified in A. laidlawii EVs is of particular interest. Because Mollicutes lack a cell wall, that is target of β-lactam antibiotics, the corresponding enzyme of A. laidlawii PG8 may function to protect not the mycoplasma, but other bacteria in the polymicrobial environment that are important for its survival. In this context,

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 14

investigation of the proteins transported by vesicles from mycoplasma and other bacteria in microbial communities may be of particular interest with respect to the regulation of pathogens. However, whether A. laidlawii-derived EVs transport

RI P

T

biologically active enzymes remains to be elucidated.

Conclusion

SC

We were the first to demonstrate that mycoplasmas naturally produce EVs. As a result of this study, by characterising and establishing the first proteome of A.

MA NU

laidlawii-derived EVs, we found that many properties of vesicles are consistent between bacteria containing a rigid wall (Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria) and wall-less bacteria (Mollicutes). Growing evidence suggests that EVs produced by bacterial cells play diverse roles, including symbiosis and pathogenesis, in polymicrobial communities [40, 41]. Our results also indicate that

ED

many mycoplasma vesicular proteins identified in this study are likely involved in the adaptation of bacteria to stressors, survival in microbial communities and

PT

pathogen-host interactions. These findings suggest that the secretion of EVs is an

CE

evolutionally conserved, universal process that occurs in organisms from the simplest wall-less bacteria to complex organisms. It was revealed in this study that

AC

A. laidlawii-derived EVs are enriched in virulence proteins, which may play critical roles in mycoplasma-induced pathogenesis. These results indicate the necessity of developing new approaches to examine the smallest prokaryotes and to control infects. We hope that this study will stimulate further investigations, including proteomic studies, on mycoplasma EVs to elucidate their biogenesis, properties and functions to understand how very small cells function and to develop effective methods to suppress pathogens that are associated with socially significant infections in humans, animals and plants, as well as the contamination of cell cultures and vaccines.
