The Journal of Immunology Fine Discrimination in the Recognition of Individual Species of Phosphatidyl-myo-Inositol Mannosides from Mycobacterium tuberculosis by C-Type Lectin Pattern Recognition Receptors1 Jordi B. Torrelles, Abul K. Azad, and Larry S. Schlesinger2 The Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) envelope is highly mannosylated with phosphatidyl-myo-inositol mannosides (PIMs), lipo- mannan, and mannose-capped lipoarabinomannan (ManLAM). Little is known regarding the interaction between specific PIM types and host cell C-type lectin pattern recognition receptors. The macrophage mannose receptor (MR) and dendritic cell-specific ICAM-3-grabbing nonintegrin on dendritic cells engage ManLAM mannose caps and regulate several host responses. In this study, we analyzed the association of purified PIM families (f, separated by carbohydrate number) and individual PIM species (further separated by fatty acid number) from M.tb H R with human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) and lectin- 37 v Downloaded from expressing cell lines using an established bead model. Higher-order PIMs preferentially associated with the MR as demonstrated by their reduced association with MDMs upon MR blockade and increased binding to COS-1-MR. In contrast, the lower-order PIM2f associated poorly with MDMs and did not bind to COS-1-MR. Triacylated PIM species were recognized by MDM lectins better than tetra-acylated species and the degree of acylation influenced higher-order PIM association with the MR. Moreover, only higher-order PIMs that bind the MR showed a significant increase in phagosome-lysosome fusion upon MR blockade. In contrast with the MR, the PIM2f and lipomannan were recognized by DC-SIGN comparable to higher-order PIMs and ManLAM, http://www.jimmunol.org/ and the association was independent of their degree of acylation. Thus, recognition of M.tb PIMs by host cell C-type lectins is dependent on both the nature of the terminal carbohydrates and degree of acylation. Subtle structural differences among the PIMs impact host cell recognition and response and are predicted to influence the intracellular fate of M.tb. The Journal of Immu- nology, 2006, 177: 1805–1816. ycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb)3 is an intracellular capped lipoarabinomannan (ManLAM) (Fig. 1) (5, 6). They are pathogen that survives within the macrophage. It has thought to be both incorporated into the M.tb membrane and also developed multiple strategies to enhance its entry into exposed on its cell surface (7–9). In this regard, M.tb ManLAM M by guest on September 29, 2021 human mononuclear phagocytes by interaction of its surface-ex- with its well-defined structure comprised of a carbohydrate core posed cell wall components with specific host pattern recognition (i.e., D-mannan and D-arabinan), a mannosyl-phosphatidyl-myo- receptors (PRRs) and through these interactions, modulates diverse inositol anchor and various terminal mannose-capping motifs (Fig. biological functions (reviewed in Refs. 1 and 2). 1), has been shown to bind to the macrophage mannose receptor The complex outermost components of the mycobacterial cell (MR) mediating phagocytosis of M.tb by human macrophages wall, comprised predominantly of lipids and carbohydrates, are the (10). ManLAMs from different M.tb strains vary in the degree to first to contact host cellular constituents, and therefore play a major which they bind to the MR pointing to a potential relationship role in facilitating host cell entry and modulating the host cell between the length and/or presentation of the mannose caps and response (2, 3). The M.tb cell wall is dominated by a group of their affinity for the MR (11). Importantly, our recent studies biosynthetically related mannosylated lipoglycoconjugates (3, 4) showed that engagement of the MR by M.tb ManLAM during the including phosphatidylinositol mannosides (PIMs) and their hy- phagocytic process directs M.tb to its initial phagosomal niche permannosylated derivatives, lipomannan (LM) and the mannose- (12). ManLAM caps also bind to dendritic cell-specific ICAM-3- grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN) on dendritic cells (13, 14).

Structure of the M.tb cell envelope mannose-containing glycoconjugates. Diagram depicting structures of PI - PIM6, LM, and ManLAM from M.tb. PIMs as well as LM and ManLAM have four potential sites for fatty acid additions. Commonly, the C1 and C2 positions of the ns-glycerol of the PI anchor are substituted by a tuberculostearic and palmitic acid, respectively (PIMy). Further acylation may occur in position C6 of the mannose ␣ 3 attached to the C2 position of the myo-inositol (Ac1PIMy) and to the C3 position of the myo-inositol (Ac2PIMy). LM is characterized by an (1 6)-mannan core, which has substitutions at the C2 position of some of its mannoses. ManLAM is characterized by its terminal mono-, di-, and trimannoside caps, which interact with the MR and DC-SIGN during M.tb phagocytosis.
