RESUMO

The replicative success of vaccinia virus (VACV) depends on its ability to subvert host functions. Poxviruses multiplication and maturation are closely associated with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and its membranes. This organelle responds to disturbances caused by the accumulation of misfolded proteins, leading to processing of these proteins or even programmed cell death through the unfolded protein response (UPR). Several studies show that different viruses can activate UPR pathway components and negatively modulate others. Here, we investigate the effects of infections by zoonotic VACV strains from Brazil, Guarani P1 virus (GP1V) and Passatempo virus (PSTV), in the activation of UPR pathway sensors. We observed translocation of ATF6 to the nucleus as well as transcriptional increase after GP1V, PSTV, and reference strain Western Reserve (WR) infection. XBP1 processing appears to be negatively modulated after VACV infection; however, inhibition of the inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1) kinase domain led to a reduction in plaque sizes for these viruses. The absence of PKR-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) has an impact on the plaque phenotype of GP1V, PSTV viruses, as well as for the prototypical strain WR. These results indicate that the VACV manipulates the three arms of the UPR path differently to ensure replicative success.

RESUMO

The study of livestock microbiota has immediate benefits for animal health as well as mitigating food contamination and emerging pathogens. While prior research has indicated the gastrointestinal tract of cattle as the source for many zoonoses, including Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli and antibiotic resistant bacteria, the bovine urinary tract microbiota has yet to be thoroughly investigated. Here, we describe 5 E. coli and 4 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from urine of dairy Gyr cattle. While both species are typically associated with urinary tract infections and mastitis, all of the animals sampled were healthy. The bovine urinary strains were compared to E. coli and P. aeruginosa isolates from other bovine samples as well as human urinary samples. While the bovine urinary E. coli isolates had genomic similarity to isolates from the gastrointestinal tract of cattle and other agricultural animals, the bovine urinary P. aeruginosa strains were most similar to human isolates suggesting niche adaptation rather than host adaptation. Examination of prophages harbored by these bovine isolates revealed similarity with prophages within distantly related E. coli and P. aeruginosa isolates from the human urinary tract. This suggests that related urinary phages may persist and/or be shared between mammals. Future studies of the bovine urinary microbiota are needed to ascertain if E. coli and P. aeruginosa are resident members of this niche and/or possible sources for emerging pathogens in humans.
