Host-pathogen interactions (HPIs) are pivotal in regulating establishment, progression, and outcome of an infection. Affinity-purification mass spectrometry has become instrumental for the characterization of HPIs, however the targeted nature of exogenously expressing individual viral proteins has limited its utility to the analysis of relatively small pathogens. Here we present the use of co-fractionation mass spectrometry (SEC-MS) for the high-throughput analysis of HPIs from native viral infections of two jumbophages (phiKZ and phiPA3) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This enabled the detection >6000 unique host-pathogen and >200 pathogen-pathogen interactions for each phage, encompassing more then 50% of the phage proteome. Interactome-wide comparison across phages showed similar perturbed protein interactions suggesting fundamentally conserved mechanisms of phage predation within the KZ-like phage family. Prediction of novel ORFs revealed a phiPA3 complex showing strong structural and sequence similarity to phiKZ nvRNAp, suggesting phiPA3 also possesses two RNA polymerases acting at different stages of the infection cycle. We further expanded our understanding on the molecular organization of the injected phage proteome by providing 23 novel virion components and 5 novel injected proteins, as well as providing the first evidence for phage manipulation of the host ribosome. To enable accessibility to this data, we developed PhageMAP, an online resource for network query, visualization, and interaction prediction \url{http://phagemap.ucsf.edu/}. We anticipate this study will lay the foundation for the application of co-fractionation mass spectrometry for the scalable profiling of host-pathogen interactomes and protein complex dynamics upon infection.
Background The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education expects residents to attain competency in systems-based practice by advocating for quality patient care, working in interprofessional teams, and implementing system solutions to prevent errors. Diabetes in pregnancy was identified as an area for improvement through comprehensive interdisciplinary and interprofessional care.Objective An interdisciplinary and interprofessional workshop was created by 3 regional academic institutions to improve collaborative practice, clinical knowledge, and clinical judgment of residents.Methods A workshop consisting of 4 clinical simulation stations for ultrasound assessment, glycemic control, hyperglycemic emergencies, and macrosomia complications was designed to address gaps in quality of care. Workshop participants were residents from 6 programs and students in nursing, pharmacy, and sonography. Attitude and clinical knowledge were measured preworkshop and postworkshop, and at 3-month and 6-to 7-month follow-up.Results There were increases in average clinical knowledge scores across time points from residents: 56.4% preworkshop, 64.8% postworkshop, 66.0% at 3-month follow-up, and 68.1% at 6-to 7-month follow-up. Additionally, participants reported positive attitudes toward interprofessional education and indicated high overall satisfaction.Conclusions Residents demonstrated improved knowledge and attitudes toward interprofessional training after participating in a large-scale simulation workshop focused on the care of patients with diabetes in pregnancy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
