Bordetella adenylate cyclase toxin elicits chromatin remodeling and transcriptional reprogramming that blocks differentiation of monocytes into macrophages by Jawid Nazir Ahmad, Martin Modrak, Marketa Fajfrova, Blanca Martin-Borja Sotoca, Oldrich Benada, Peter Sebo

“…CyaA-elicited signaling also promoted deacetylation and trimethylation of lysines 9 and 27 of histone 3 (H3K9me3 and H3K27me3) and triggered the formation of transcriptionally repressive heterochromatin patches in the nuclei of CyaA-exposed monocytes. These effects were partly reversed by the G9a methyltransferase inhibitor UNC 0631 and by the pleiotropic HDAC inhibitor Trichostatin-A, revealing that CyaA-elicited epigenetic alterations mediate transcriptional reprogramming of monocytes and play a role in CyaA-triggered block of monocyte differentiation into bactericidal macrophage cells.IMPORTANCETo proliferate on host airway mucosa and evade elimination by patrolling sentinel cells, the whooping cough agent Bordetella pertussis produces a potently immunosubversive adenylate cyclase toxin (CyaA) that blocks opsonophagocytic killing of bacteria by phagocytes like neutrophils and macrophages. …”
