PimF, a Mannosyltransferase of Mycobacteria, Is Involved in the Biosynthesis of Phosphatidylinositol Mannosides and Lipoarabinomannan

Phosphatidylinositol mannosides (PIMs) and their related molecules lipomannan (LM) and lipoarabinomannan (LAM) are important components of the mycobacterial cell wall. These molecules mediate host-pathogen interactions and exhibit immunomodulatory activities. The biosynthesis of these lipoglycans is not fully understood. In this study, we have identified a mycobacterial gene (Rv1500) that is involved in the synthesis of PIMs. We have named this gene pimF. Transposon mutagenesis of pimF of Mycobacterium marinum resulted in multiple phenotypes, including altered colony morphology, disappearance of tetracyl-PIM7, and accumulation of tetraacyl-PIM5. The syntheses of LAM and LM were also affected. In addition, the pimF mutant exhibited a defect during infection of cultured macrophage cells. Although the mutant and the cell of the marinum mutant the pimF of Mycobacterium of the These that is a that is involved in the of the of are the synthesis of LAM and this the of a involved in the of Phosphatidylinositol mannosides (PIMs) and their related molecules lipomannan (LM) and lipoarabinomannan (LAM) are important components of the mycobacterial cell wall.
