Abstract

Post-replicative DNA methylation is essential for diverse biological processes in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis), the causative agent of tuberculosis, remains one of the most formidable threats worldwide. Although DNA methylation of M. tuberculosis has been documented, little information is available for clinical drug-resistant M. tuberculosis. Single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing was used to profile the core methylome of three clinical isolates, namely multidrug-resistant (MDR), extensively drug-resistant (XDR) and extremely drug-resistant (XXDR) strains. 3812, 6808 and 6041 DNA methylated sites were identified in MDR-MTB, XDR-MTB and XXDR-MTB genome, respectively. There are two types of methylated motifs, namely N6-methyladenine (m6A) and N4-methylcytosine (m4C). A novel widespread 6 mA methylation motif 5'-CACGCAG-3' was found in XDR-MTB and XXDR-MTB. The methylated genes are involved in multiple cellular processes, especially metabolic enzymes engaged in glucose metabolism, fatty acid and TCA cycle. Many methylated genes are involved in mycobacterial virulence, antibiotic resistance and tolerance. This provided a comprehensive list of methylated genes in drug-resistant c...Continue Reading
