Johne's disease (JD) is a chronic enteric infection of dairy cattle worldwide. Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP), the causative agent of JD, is fastidious often requiring eight to sixteen weeks to produce colonies in culture-a major hurdle in the diagnosis and therefore in implementation of optimal JD control measures. A significant gap in knowledge is the comprehensive understanding of the metabolic networks deployed by MAP to regulate iron both in-vitro and in-vivo. The genome of MAP carries MAP3773c, a putative metal regulator, which is absent in all other mycobacteria. The role of MAP3773c in intracellular iron regulation is poorly understood. In the current study, a field isolate (K-10) and an in-frame MAP3773c deletion mutant (ΔMAP3773c) derived from K-10, were exposed to iron starvation for 5, 30, 60, and 90 min and RNA-Seq was performed. A comparison of transcriptional profiles between K-10 and ΔMAP3773c showed 425 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at 30 min time post-iron restriction. Functional analysis of DEGs in ΔMAP3773c revealed that pantothenate (Pan) biosynthesis, polysaccharide biosynthesis and sugar metabolism genes were downregulated at 30 min post-iron starvation whereas ATP-binding cassette (ABC) type metal transporters, putative siderophore biosynthesis, PPE and PE family genes were upregulated. Pathway analysis revealed that the MAP3773c knockout has an impairment in Pan and Coenzyme A (CoA) biosynthesis pathways suggesting that the absence of those pathways likely affect overall metabolic processes and cellular functions, which have consequences on MAP survival and pathogenesis.
