Abstract Johne’s disease (JD) is a chronic enteric infection of dairy cattle worldwide. Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP), the causative agent of JD, is fastidious often requiring eight to sixteen weeks to produce colonies in culture—a major hurdle in the diagnosis and therefore in implementation of optimal JD control measures. A significant gap in knowledge is the comprehensive understanding of the metabolic networks deployed by MAP to regulate iron both in-vitro and in-vivo. The genome of MAP carries MAP3773c, a putative metal regulator, which is absent in all other mycobacteria. The role of MAP3773c in intracellular iron regulation is poorly understood. In the current study, a field isolate (K-10) and an in-frame MAP3773c deletion mutant (ΔMAP3773c) derived from K-10, were exposed to iron starvation for 5, 30, 60, and 90 min and RNA-Seq was performed. A comparison of transcriptional profiles between K-10 and ΔMAP3773c showed 425 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at 30 min time post-iron restriction. Functional analysis of DEGs in ΔMAP3773c revealed that pantothenate (Pan) biosynthesis, polysaccharide biosynthesis and sugar metabolism genes were downregulated at 30 min post-iron starvation whereas ATP-binding cassette (ABC) type metal transporters, putative siderophore biosynthesis, PPE and PE family genes were upregulated. Pathway analysis revealed that the MAP3773c knockout has an impairment in Pan and Coenzyme A (CoA) biosynthesis pathways suggesting that the absence of those pathways likely affect overall metabolic processes and cellular functions, which have consequences on MAP survival and pathogenesis. |
