UNLABELLED: Mycobacterial cell envelopes are rich in unusual lipids and glycans that play key roles during infection and vaccination. The most abundant envelope glycolipid is trehalose dimycolate (TDM). TDM compromises the host response to mycobacterial species via multiple mechanisms, including inhibition of phagosome maturation. The molecular mechanism by which TDM inhibits phagosome maturation has been elusive. We find that a clickable, photoaffinity TDM probe recapitulates key phenotypes of native TDM in macrophage host cells and binds several host SNARE proteins, including VTI1B, STX8, and VAMP2. VTI1B and STX8 normally promote endosome fusion by forming a complex with VAMP8. However, in the presence of SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Glycolipids from the
