PE/PPE proteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) target the host organelles to dictate the outcome of infection. This study investigated the significance of PE6/Rv0335c protein's unique C-terminal in causing host mitochondrial perturbations and apoptosis. In-silico analysis revealed that similar to eukaryotic apoptotic Bcl2 proteins, Rv0335c had disordered, hydrophobic C-terminal and two BH3-like motifs in which one was located at C-terminal. Also, Rv0335c's N terminal had mitochondrial targeting sequence. Since, C-terminal of Bcl2 proteins are crucial for mitochondria targeting and apoptosis; it became relevant to evaluate the role of Rv0335c's C-terminal domain in modulating host mitochondrial functions and apoptosis. To confirm this, in-vitro experiments were conducted with Rv0335c whole protein and Rv0335c∆Cterm (C-terminal domain deleted Rv0335c) protein. Rv0335c∆Cterm caused significant reduction in mitochondrial perturbations and Caspase-mediated apoptosis of THP1 macrophages in comparison to Rv0335c. However, the deletion of C-terminal domain didn't affect Rv0335c's ability to localize to mitochondria. Nine Ca2+ binding residues were predicted within Rv0335c and four of them were at the C-terminal. In-vitro studies confirmed that Rv0335c caused significant increase in intracellular calcium influx whereas Rv0335c∆Cterm had insignificant effect on Ca2+ influx. Rv0335c has been reported to be a TLR4 agonist and, we observed a significant reduction in the expression of TLR4-HLA-DR-TNF-α in response to Rv0335c∆Cterm protein also suggesting the role of Rv0335c's C-terminal domain in host-pathogen interaction. These findings indicate the possibility of Rv0335c as a molecular mimic of eukaryotic Bcl2 proteins which equips it to cause host mitochondrial perturbations and apoptosis that may facilitate pathogen persistence.Keywords: BH3-like motif; Mitochondria-mediated intrinsic apoptosis; Mycobacterium tuberculosis; Rv0335c; Unique C-terminal domain.
