Description: Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map) causes Johne's disease (JD), a chronic infection responsible for considerable economic losses to dairy industries worldwide. Genetically clonal, Map has evolved into three distinct genetic lineages designated CII, for bovine strains, and SI and SIII, for ovine strains. Previous studies have established that Map does not produce glycopeptidolipids, characteristic of the cell wall surface of mycobacteria belonging to the M. avium complex, but rather sugar-free lipopeptide compounds synthesized by nonribosomal peptide synthetases. In this study, we combined genomic, machine learning, (bio)chemical, and analytical approaches to identify the metabolites biosynthesized by NRPS in the most ancestral SI strains of Map. We thus characterized a lipotripeptide (L3P-2) signature for the SI genetic lineage, demonstrating that the evolution of this Map subspecies has been accompanied by a diversification of the cell wall lipopeptides. Finally, L3P-2 shows promise for improved serological diagnosis of JD.
