  • Comparative molecular analyses of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto strains B31 and N40D10/E9 and determination of their pathogenicity

    Updated: 2012-07-30 04:00:00
    Conclusion: Based upon the studies here, it can be predicted that N40D10/E9 disseminated infection atlower doses may be enhanced by its lower binding to epithelial cells at the site of inoculationdue to the absence of BBK32. We suggest that complete molecular analyses of virulencefactors followed by their evaluation using the mouse infection model should form the basis ofdetermining infectivity and pathogenicity of different strains rather than simple phylogeneticgroup analyses. This study further emphasizes a need to investigate multiple invasive strainsof B. burgdorferi to fully appreciate the pathogenic mechanisms that contribute to Lymedisease manifestations.

  • Stochasticity of TOL plasmid catabolic promoters sets a bimodal expression regime in Pseudomonas putida mt‐2 exposed to m‐xylene

    Updated: 2012-07-30 04:00:00
    SummaryThe expression dynamics of the catabolic promoters of the TOL plasmid pWW0 has been examined in single cells of Pseudomonas putida mt‐2 exposed to m‐xylene. To this end, we employed an á la carte bi‐cistronic gfp‐lacZ reporter system for generating monocopy transcriptional fusions to each of the four promoters (Pr, Ps, Pu and Pm) of the regulatory network. Whereas expression of xylR (the master regulatory gene of the TOL system) behaved in a unimodal fashion, the activation of Pu and Pm displayed a high degree of stochasticity. This event resulted in a time‐dependent shift in the bacterial population between two induction states without intermediate expression levels. Bimodality of the Pm promoter for the lower TOL pathway was largely due to the propagation of the Ps outp...

  • Regulation of Archaella Expression by the FHA and von Willebrand Domain‐Containing Proteins ArnA and ArnB in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius

    Updated: 2012-07-30 04:00:00
    AbstractThe ability of microorganisms to sense and respond to sudden changes in their environment is often based on regulatory systems comprising reversible protein phosphorylation. The archaellum (former: archaeal flagellum) is used for motility in Archaea and therefore functionally analogous to the bacterial flagellum. In contrast with archaellum‐mediated movement in certain members of the Euryarchaeota, this process, including its regulation, remains poorly studied in crenarchaeal organisms like Sulfolobus species. Recently, it was shown in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, that tryptone limiting conditions led to the induction of archaella expression and assembly (Lassak et al., 2012). Here we have identified two proteins, the FHA domain‐containing protein ArnA and the vWA domain‐cont...

  • Phytotoxic secondary metabolites and peptides produced by plant pathogenic Dothideomycete fungi

    Updated: 2012-07-30 04:00:00
    AbstractMany necrotrophic plant pathogenic fungi belonging to the class of Dothideomycetesproduce phytotoxic metabolitesand peptides that are usually required for pathogenicity. Phytotoxinsthat affect a broad range of plant speciesare known as non‐host‐specific toxins (non‐HSTs), whereashost‐specific toxins (HSTs)affectonly a particular plant speciesor more often genotypes of that species.For pathogens producing HSTs, pathogenicity and host‐specificity are largely definedbythe ability to produce thetoxin, while plant susceptibility is dependent on the presence of the toxintarget. Non‐HSTs are not the main determinants of pathogenicity but contribute to virulence of the producing pathogen.Dothideomycetes are remarkable for the production of toxins, particularly HSTs because they...

  • Beyond the Red Complex and into more Complexity: The Polymicrobial Synergy and Dysbiosis (PSD) Model of Periodontal Disease Etiology

    Updated: 2012-07-28 00:10:03
    AbstractRecent advancements in the periodontal research field are consistent with a new model of pathogenesis according to which periodontitis is initiated by a synergistic and dysbiotic microbial community rather than by select ‘periopathogens’, such as the ‘red complex’. In this polymicrobial synergy, different members or specific gene combinations within the community fulfill distinct roles that converge to shape and stabilize a disease‐provoking microbiota. One of the core requirements for a potentially pathogenic community to arise involves the capacity of certain species, termed ‘keystone pathogens’, to modulate the host response in ways that impair immune surveillance and tip the balance from homeostasis to dysbiosis. Keystone pathogens elevate the virulence of the ent...

  • Two intercellular signals required for fruiting body formation in Myxococcus xanthus act sequentially but non‐hierarchically

    Updated: 2012-07-27 04:00:00
    SummaryStarvation‐induced fruiting body formation in Myxococcus xanthus depends on intercellular signalling. A‐signal functions after 2 h of starvation and its synthesis depends on the asg genes. C‐signal functions after 6 h of starvation and is generated by proteolytic cleavage of a precursor by the protease PopC. Previous gene expression studies suggested that the A‐ and C‐signal lie on a hierarchical pathway. Here we explored the causal relationship between the A‐ and C‐signal. The asgA and asgB mutants have reduced popC expression, PopC accumulation and C‐signal accumulation. popC expression was shown not to depend on A‐signal but on the AsgA and AsgB proteins. Restored popC expression in the two mutants rescued PopC and C‐signal accumulation as well as C‐sign...

  • Calreticulin as a hydrophilic chimeric molecular adjuvant enhances IgG responses to the spike protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus

    Updated: 2012-07-26 04:00:00
    ABSTRACTFragment 450–650 of the spike (S) protein (S450–650) of severe acute respiratory syndrome‐associated coronavirus (SARS‐CoV) contains epitopes capable of being recognized by convalescent sera of SARS patients. Vaccination of mice with recombinant S450–650 (rS450–650) can induce Abs against SARS‐CoV, although the titer is relatively low. In the present study, a fusion protein linking a fragment (residues 39–272) of murine calreticulin (CRT) to S450–650 in a prokaryotic expression system was created. Compared with target antigen alone, the recombinant fusion product (rS450–650‐CRT) has much improved hydrophilicity and immunogenicity. The S450–650‐specific IgG Abs of BALB/c mice subcutaneously immunized with rS450–650‐CRT were in substantially higher titer...

  • Recent advances targeting innate immunity‐mediated therapies against HIV‐1 infection

    Updated: 2012-07-26 04:00:00
    ABSTRACTEarly defence mechanisms of innate immunity respond rapidly to infection against HIV‐1 in the genital mucosa. Additionally, innate immunity optimises effective adaptive immune responses against persistent HIV infection. Recent research has highlighted the intrinsic roles of apolipoprotein B mRNA‐editing, enzyme‐catalytic, polypeptide‐like 3G, tripartite motif‐containing protein 5, tetherin, sterile α‐motif and histidine/aspartic acid domain‐containing protein 1 in restricting HIV‐1 replication. Likewise, certain endogenously secreted antimicrobial peptides, namely α/β/θ‐defensins, lactoferrins, secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor, trappin‐2/elafin and macrophage inflammatory protein‐3α are reportedly protective. Whilst certain factors directly inhibit ...

  • The coming of age of the LeuO regulator

    Updated: 2012-07-26 04:00:00
    SummaryLeuO is a quiescent genetic regulator present in many bacteria, which forms part of the H‐NS regulon. LeuO in turn has been proposed to activate a subset of genes of the regulon by antagonizing H‐NS. In the paper by Dillon et al., binding of LeuO to the S. Typhimurium genome was observed by ChIP‐chip to some of the previously described LeuO‐regulated genes, upon growth under stress conditions. However, studies at a higher LeuO concentration from a cloned inducible promoter rendered many more binding sites, pointing towards the importance of the abundance of the regulator in the cell, in a given moment. Binding of LeuO was observed not only to intergenic sequences, but in the majority of cases to intragenic sequences, and co‐binding was observed with H‐NS in many sites ...

  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis WhiB4 regulates oxidative stress response to modulate survival and dissemination in vivo

    Updated: 2012-07-26 04:00:00
    SummaryHost‐generated oxidative stress is considered one of the main mechanisms constraining Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) growth. The redox‐sensing mechanisms in Mtb are not completely understood. Here we show that WhiB4 responds to oxygen (O2) and nitric oxide (NO) via its 4Fe‐4S cluster and controls the oxidative stress response in Mtb. The WhiB4 mutant (MtbΔwhiB4) displayed an altered redox balance and a reduced membrane potential. Microarray analysis demonstrated that MtbΔwhiB4 overexpresses the antioxidant systems including alkyl hydroperoxidase (ahpC‐ahpD) and rubredoxins (rubA‐rubB). DNA binding assays showed that WhiB4 [4Fe‐4S] cluster is dispensable for DNA binding. However, oxidation of the apo‐WhiB4 Cys thiols induced disulphide‐linked oligomerization, DNA ...
