Conditional impairment of Coxiella burnetii by glucose-6P dehydrogenase activity
© The Author(s) 2021. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of FEMS..
Coxiella burnetii is a bacterial obligate intracellular parasite and the etiological agent of query (Q) fever. While the C. burnetii genome has been reduced to ∼2 Mb as a likely consequence of genome streamlining in response to parasitism, enzymes for a nearly complete central metabolic machinery are encoded by the genome. However, lack of a canonical hexokinase for phosphorylation of glucose and an apparent absence of the oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway, a major mechanism for regeneration of the reducing equivalent nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), have been noted as potential metabolic limitations of C. burnetii. By complementing C. burnetii with the gene zwf encoding the glucose-6-phosphate-consuming and NADPH-producing enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), we demonstrate a severe metabolic fitness defect for C. burnetii under conditions of glucose limitation. Supplementation of the medium with the gluconeogenic carbon source glutamate did not rescue the growth defect of bacteria complemented with zwf. Absence of G6PD in C. burnetii therefore likely relates to the negative effect of its activity under conditions of glucose limitation. Coxiella burnetii central metabolism with emphasis on glucose, NAD+, NADP+ and NADPH is discussed in a broader perspective, including comparisons with other bacterial obligate intracellular parasites.
