Iron-binding compounds and related outer membrane proteins in Vibrio cholerae non-O1 strains from aquatic environments 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A total of 156 strains of Vibrio cholerae non-O1 from aquatic origins were examined for the presence of iron uptake mechanisms and compared with O1 strains and other Vibrio species. All non-O1 strains were able to grow in iron-limiting conditions, with MICs of ethylenediaminedi (O-hydroxyphenylacetic acid) ranging from 20 microM to 2 mM. The production of siderophores was demonstrated by growth in chrome azurol S agar and cross-feeding assays. All strains produced phenolate-type compounds, as assessed by the chemical tests and by bioassays with Salmonella typhimurium enb-7. Some of the strains also promoted the growth of S. typhimurium enb-1 (which can use only enterobactin as a siderophore) as well as some strains of Vibrio anguillarum deficient in the anguibactin-mediated system. The chromatographic analyses and absorption spectra of siderophores extracted from culture supernatants suggest that vibriobactin may be produced by the strains examined. Interestingly, some strains also produced hydroxamate-type compounds, as determined by chemical tests, and were able to promote the growth of an aerobactin-deficient strain of Escherichia coli. These results were confirmed by the absorption spectra and chromatographic analyses of the culture extracts. The synthesis of iron-regulated outer membrane proteins in representative strains was also examined. The molecular sizes of the main induced proteins ranged from 70 to 78 kilodaltons. These results indicate that several iron uptake mechanisms which could be involved in environmental survival and pathogenicity are present in environmental V. cholerae non-O1 strains. 相似文献

We describe in this work a new iron uptake system encoded by chromosomal genes in pathogenic strains of Vibrio anguillarum. This iron uptake system differs from the plasmid-encoded anguibactin-mediated system present in certain strains of V. anguillarum in several properties. The siderophore anguibactin is not utilized as an external siderophore, and although characteristic outer membrane proteins are synthesized under iron-limiting conditions, these are not related to the plasmid-mediated outer membrane protein OM2 associated with ferric anguibactin transport. Furthermore, the siderophore produced by the plasmidless strains may be functionally related to enterobactin as demonstrated by bioassays with enterobactin-deficient mutants, although its behavior under various chemical treatments suggested major differences from that siderophore. Hybridization experiments suggested that the V. anguillarum chromosome-mediated iron uptake system is unrelated genetically to either the anguibactin or enterobactin-associated iron assimilation systems. 相似文献

By means of phenolate siderophore negative S. typhimurium mutants as indicators, a bioassay for the detection of phenolate production was applied in Salmonella species. Different Salmonella strains have a weak or normal phenolate siderophore production. Host-adapted Salmonella strains show weak, other strains of Salmonella show normal growth zones of the indicator strain. Besides phenolate siderophore production there are defined S. typhimurium strains, exhibiting phage type ut/ut, biochemical type a and some strains of S. wien, S. infantis and S. haifa from nosocomial infection producing hydroxamate siderophore (aerobactin) as a compotent of a second iron uptake system. 相似文献

We evaluated the iron uptake mechanisms in Pasteurella piscicida strains as well as the effect of iron overload on the virulence of these strains for fish. With this aim, the capacity of the strains to obtain iron from transferrin and heme compounds as well as their ability to overcome the inhibitory activity of fish serum was analyzed. All the P. piscicida strains grew in the presence of the iron chelator ethylene-diamine-di (O-hydroxyphenyl acetic acid) or of human transferrin, which was used by a siderophore-mediated mechanism. The chemical tests and cross-feeding assays showed that P. piscicida produced a siderophore which was neither a phenolate nor a hydroxamate. Cross-feeding assays as well as preliminary chromatographic analysis suggest that this siderophore may be chemically related to multocidin. All the P. piscicida isolates utilized hemin and hemoglobin as an iron source, since the virulence of the strains increased when the fish were preinoculated with these compounds. This effect was stronger in the avirulent strains (50% lethal dose was reduced by 4 logs when fish were pretreated with hemin or hemoglobin). Only the pathogenic P. piscicida isolates were resistant to the bactericidal action of the fresh fish serum. The nonpathogenic strains grew in fish serum only when it was heat-inactivated or when it was supplemented with ferric ammonium citrate, hemin, or hemoglobin. In all the strains, at least three iron-regulated outer membrane proteins (IROMPs) (105, 118, and 145 kDa) were increased when the strains were cultured in iron-restricted medium.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

We investigated the incidence of plasmid-mediated and chromosome-mediated iron uptake systems in strains of Vibrio anguillarum that belong to serotypes O1 and O2 and were isolated from different fish species and in different geographic areas. All of the strains gave positive reactions in CAS agar medium and in the Arnow test, which indicated that catechol types of siderophores were produced. The majority of V. anguillarum serotype O1 strains harbored a 65-kb plasmid similar to plasmid pJM1 from strain 775, which encodes the siderophore anguibactin and its outer membrane receptor, protein OM2. All of the isolates harboring this plasmid promoted the growth of an anguibactin-deficient receptor-proficient mutant derived from strain 775, but none of these isolates promoted the growth of mutants lacking receptor OM2. Furthermore, under iron-limiting conditions all of these strains induced outer membrane proteins that were identical in size to protein OM2 of strain 775. In contrast, none of the serotype O2 strains contained a high-molecular-weight plasmid, but all of them induced the growth of mutants defective in the anguibactin-mediated system regardless of the presence or absence of receptor OM2. The serotype O2 strains, but not the plasmid-bearing serotype O1 strains, also induced the growth of Salmonella typhimurium enb-1 which utilizes only enterobactin as a siderophore.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Siderophore (iron-binding chelator) production was examined in 30 strains of open ocean bacteria from the generaVibrio, Alteromonas, Alcaligenes, Pseudomonas, andPhotobacterium. The results showed that hydroxamate-type siderophore production was widely distributed in various marine species, except for isolates ofAlteromonas macleodii andV. nereis. In all cases, the ability to produce siderophores was under the control of iron levels in the medium and satisfied the iron requirements of the siderophore bioassay organism. On the basis of chemical assay and bacterial bioassays, none of the examined isolates produced phenolate-type siderophores. Several isolates produces siderophores that were neither hydroxamatenor phenolate-type siderophores. Some strains such asAlteromonas communis produce siderophores that could be used by many other isolates. In contrast, the siderophore produced byAlcaligenes venustus had little cross-strain utilization. These findings suggest that the ability to produce siderophores may be common to open ocean bacteria. 相似文献

Analysis of a clinical isolate of Acinetobacter baumannii showed that this bacterium was able to grow under iron-limiting conditions, using chemically defined growth media containing different iron chelators such as human transferrin, ethylenediaminedi-(o-hydroxyphenyl)acetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid, and 2,2'-bipyridyl. This iron uptake-proficient phenotype was due to the synthesis and secretion of a catechol-type siderophore compound. Utilization bioassays using the Salmonella typhimurium iron uptake mutants enb-1 and enb-7 proved that this siderophore is different from enterobactin. This catechol siderophore was partially purified from culture supernatants by adsorption chromatography using an XAD-7 resin. The purified component exhibited a chromatographic behavior and a UV-visible light absorption spectrum different from those of 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid and other bacterial catechol siderophores. Furthermore, the siderophore activity of this extracellular catechol was confirmed by its ability to stimulate energy-dependent uptake of 55Fe(III) as well as to promote the growth of A. baumannii bacterial cells under iron-deficient conditions imposed by 60 microM human transferrin. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis showed the presence of iron-regulated proteins in both inner and outer membranes of this clinical isolate of A. baumannii. Some of these membrane proteins may be involved in the recognition and internalization of the iron-siderophore complexes. 相似文献

Iron is a member of a small group of nutrients that limits aquatic primary production. Mechanisms for utilizing iron have to be efficient and adapted according to the ecological niche. In respect to iron acquisition cyanobacteria, prokaryotic oxygen evolving photosynthetic organisms can be divided into siderophore‐ and non‐siderophore‐producing strains. The results presented in this paper suggest that the situation is far more complex. To understand the bioavailability of different iron substrates and the advantages of various uptake strategies, we examined iron uptake mechanisms in the siderophore‐producing cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120. Comparison of the uptake of iron complexed with exogenous (desferrioxamine B, DFB) or to self‐secreted (schizokinen) siderophores by Anabaena sp. revealed that uptake of the endogenous produced siderophore complexed to iron is more efficient. In addition, Anabaena sp. is able to take up dissolved, ferric iron hydroxide species (Fe′) via a reductive mechanism. Thus, Anabaena sp. exhibits both, siderophore‐ and non‐siderophore‐mediated iron uptake. While assimilation of Fe′ and FeDFB are not induced by iron starvation, FeSchizokinen uptake rates increase with increasing iron starvation. Consequently, we suggest that Fe′ reduction and uptake is advantageous for low‐density cultures, while at higher densities siderophore uptake is preferred. 相似文献

The ability of six typical and three atypical strains of Aeromonas salmonicida to sequester Fe3+ from the high-affinity iron chelators ethylenediaminedihydroxy-phenylacetic acid, lactoferrin, and transferrin was determined. Typical strains were readily able to sequester Fe3+ and used two different mechanisms. One mechanism was inducible and appeared to involve production of a low-molecular-weight soluble siderophore(s). Iron uptake by this mechanism was strongly inhibited by ferricyanide. One virulent strain displayed a second mechanism which was constitutive and required cell contact with Fe3+-lactoferrin or -transferrin. This strain did not produce a soluble siderophore(s) but could utilize the siderophore(s) produced by the other strain. Fe3+ uptake by this stripping mechanism was strongly inhibited by dinitrophenol. Atypical strains displayed a markedly reduced ability to sequester iron from high-affinity chelators, although one of them was able to utilize the siderophores produced by the typical strain. In all strains examined, Fe3+ limitation resulted in the increased synthesis of several high-molecular-weight outer membrane proteins. 相似文献

Reductive and non-reductive mechanisms of iron assimilation by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Iron reduction and uptake was studied in wild-type and haem-deficient strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Haem-deficient strains lacked inducible ferri-reductase activity and were unable to take up iron from different ferric chelates such as Fe(III)-citrate or rhodoturulic acid. In contrast, ferrioxamine B was taken up actively by the mutants as well as by the wild-type strains. At a low extracellular concentration, uptake was insensitive to ferrozine and competitively inhibited by Ga(III)-desferrioxamine B. Extracellular reductive dissociation of the siderophore occurred at higher extracellular concentrations. Two mechanisms appear to contribute to the uptake of ferrioxamine B by S. cerevisiae: one with high affinity, by which the siderophore is internalized as such and another with lower affinity by which iron is dissociated from the ligand prior to uptake. 相似文献

At low magnesium concentrations, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium LT2 accumulate ferrous iron independent of the ferrous iron transport system feo. Mutant strains with mutations in the magnesium transport gene corA accumulated less ferrous iron than the parent strains. corA+ and corA strains also differed in their sensitivity to ferrous iron under oxic conditions. corA mutants were more resistant to ferrous iron than their parent corA+ strains. Part of the ferrous iron accumulated can be chased by the addition of magnesium. Much less iron was chased when ferric iron was taken up by the siderophore ferrichrome. These results may indicate that the intracellular metabolism of the iron taken up by these systems differs and that it depends on the uptake route of the iron. 相似文献

A total of 230 Salmonella strains were screened for enterobactin and aerobactin production, sensitivity to bacteriocins and resistance to antibiotics. All the isolates produced the phenolate siderophore enterobactin. Amongst these, 74 strains, most belonging to S. enteritidis, were sensitive to colicin B. Only 26 isolates, all belonging to S. wien, produced an additional iron chelator, i.e. the siderophore aerobactin, and 22 out of these were sensitive to cloacin DF13. Analysis of iron repressible outer membrane proteins and plasmid profiles in S. wien strains showed that the expression of a 74-kDa iron-repressible outer membrane protein and the presence of large plasmids were associated with multiple antibiotic resistance, aerobactin production and sensitivity to cloacin DF13. The incidence of aerobactin-producing strains among S. wien isolates was higher during years 1974-1985; the epidemiological implications of these results are discussed. 相似文献

Acquisition of iron from host sources by mesophilic Aeromonas species. 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
The mesophilic Aeromonas species are opportunistic pathogens that produce either of the siderophores amonabactin or enterobactin. Acquisition of iron for growth from Fe-transferrin in serum was dependent on the siderophore amonabactin; 50 of 54 amonabactin-producing isolates grew in heat-inactivated serum, whereas none of 30 enterobactin-producing strains were able to grow. Most isolates (regardless of siderophore produced) used haem as a sole source of iron for growth; all of 33 isolates grew with either haematin or haemoglobin and 30 of these used haemoglobin when complexed to human haptoglobin. Mutants unable to synthesize a siderophore used iron from haem, suggesting that this capacity was unrelated to siderophore production. Some members of the mesophilic Aeromonas species have evolved both siderophore-dependent and -independent mechanisms for acquisition of iron from a host. 相似文献

Uptake of 55Fe- and 3H-labeled siderophores and their chronic analogues have been studied in Salmonella typhimurium LT-2 and Escherichia coli K-12. In S. typhimurium LT-2, at least two different mechanisms for siderophore iron transport may be operative. Uptake of 55Fe- and 3H-labeled ferrichrome and kinetically inert lambda-cis-chromic [3H]deferriferrichrome by the S. typhimurium LT-2 enb7 mutant, which is defective in the production of its native siderophore, enterobactin, appears to occur by two concurrent mechanisms. The first mechanism is postulated to involve either rapid uptake of iron released from the ferric complex by cellular reduction without penetration of the complex or ligand or dissociation of the complex and simultaneous uptake of both ligand and iron coupled with simultaneous expulsion of the ligand. The second mechanism appears to consist of slower uptake of the intact ferric complex. 相似文献

Fourteen Bradyrhizobium strains isolated from nitrogen-fixing Acacia mangium trees which originated from different geographical areas were analysed for their iron requirement and siderophore production. All strains were affected by starvation but responded differently to it. The increase in bacterial cell yield in response to iron supplementation, as well as the strain's sensitivity towards the synthetic iron-chelator 2,2-dipyridyl, suggested a discrimination of these strains into two groups. Four strains in one group, including a reference strain, produced siderophore(s) when grown under starvation. Other strains belonging to the second group were characterized by a lower iron requirement, a higher sensitivity to 2,2-dipyridyl, and did not apparently demonstrate any siderophore production. Two of the siderophore-producer strains, as well as a Rhizobium reference strain, excreted citrate, which was under iron regulation. Citrate was shown to facilitate iron incorporation in strains of either group. 相似文献

Cyanobacteria vary in their ability to grow in media contaning low amounts of biologically available iron. Some strains, such as Oscillatoria tenuis, are well adapted to thrive in low-iron environments. We investigated the mechanism of iron scavenging in O. tenuis and found that this cyanobacterium has a siderophore-mediated iron transport system that differs significantly from the traditional hydroxamate-siderophore transport system reported from other cyanobacteria. Unlike other cyanobacteria, this strain produces two types of siderophores, a hydroxamate-type siderophore and a catechol-type siderophore. Production of these two siderophores is expressed at two different iron levels in the medium, suggesting two different iron regulated uptake systems. We compared the production of each siderophore with the growth rate of the culture and found that the production of the catechol siderophore enhances the growth rate of the cyanobacterium, whereas the cells maintain lower than maximal growth rates when only the hydroxamate-type siderophore is being produced.Abbreviation EDDA

Abstract: This work represents the first evidence of the presence of an iron uptake system siderophore mediated in the bacterial fish pathogen Yersinia ruckeri . A group of 20 strains representative of this species, with different serotype and origin were examined. All of them were able to grow at high concentrations (from 0.7 to 1.1 mM) of the iron chelator EDDA. Although the Y. ruckeri isolates failed to cross-feed the indicator strains for enterobactin and aerobactin production, the chemical tests revealed the presence in the culture supernatants of phenolate siderophores. At least three outer membrane proteins were induced in iron limiting conditions. All the strains showed a similar pattern of induced membrane proteins regardless their serotype or origin, which suggests a similarity in the iron uptake system. This system could have an important role in the pathogenicity of Y. ruckeri for fish. 相似文献
