P1蛋白是肺炎支原体的一种与黏附有关的跨膜蛋白,它只有正确定位于肺炎支原体顶端结构才能介导其黏附作用;P1蛋白结构基因的多态性是构成肺炎支原体抗原多态性的基础;P1蛋白本身也是一种重要的免疫原,可刺激机体产生强烈的免疫应答。因此,探讨P1蛋白基因结构与功能将有助于肺炎支原体的致病机制及其感染的诊断和预防等方面的研究。 相似文献

A new C-type lectin-like gene encodes 293 amino acids and maps to chromosome 19p13.3 adjacent to the previously described C-type lectin genes, CD23, dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN), and DC-SIGN-related protein (DC-SIGNR). The four genes form a tight cluster in an insert size of 105 kb and have analogous genomic structures. The new C-type lectin-like molecule, designated liver and lymph node sinusoidal endothelial cell C-type lectin (LSECtin), is a type II integral membrane protein of approximately 40 kDa in size with a single C-type lectin-like domain at the COOH terminus, closest in homology to DC-SIGNR, DC-SIGN, and CD23. LSECtin mRNA was only expressed in liver and lymph node among 15 human tissues tested, intriguingly neither expressed on hematopoietic cell lines nor on monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs). Moreover, LSECtin is expressed predominantly by sinusoidal endothelial cells of human liver and lymph node and co-expressed with DC-SIGNR. LSECtin binds to mannose, GlcNAc, and fucose in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner but not to galactose. Our results indicate that LSECtin is a novel member of a family of proteins comprising CD23, DC-SIGN, and DC-SIGNR and might function in vivo as a lectin receptor. 相似文献

A novel mechanism for LSECtin binding to Ebola virus surface glycoprotein through truncated glycans 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

LSECtin is a member of the C-type lectin family of glycan-binding receptors that is expressed on sinusoidal endothelial cells of the liver and lymph nodes. To compare the sugar and pathogen binding properties of LSECtin with those of related but more extensively characterized receptors, such as DC-SIGN, a soluble fragment of LSECtin consisting of the C-terminal carbohydrate-recognition domain has been expressed in bacteria. A biotin-tagged version of the protein was also generated and complexed with streptavidin to create tetramers. These forms of the carbohydrate-recognition domain were used to probe a glycan array and to characterize binding to oligosaccharide and glycoprotein ligands. LSECtin binds with high selectivity to glycoproteins terminating in GlcNAcbeta1-2Man. The inhibition constant for this disaccharide is 3.5 microm, making it one of the best low molecular weight ligands known for any C-type lectin. As a result of the selective binding of this disaccharide unit, the receptor recognizes glycoproteins with a truncated complex and hybrid N-linked glycans on glycoproteins. Glycan analysis of the surface glycoprotein of Ebola virus reveals the presence of such truncated glycans, explaining the ability of LSECtin to facilitate infection by Ebola virus. High mannose glycans are also present on the viral glycoprotein, which explains why DC-SIGN also binds to this virus. Thus, multiple receptors interact with surface glycoproteins of enveloped viruses that bear different types of relatively poorly processed glycans. 相似文献

Several gram-negative human pathogens recognize members of the carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule (CEACAM) family. Pathogenic Neisseriae employ distinct isoforms of the colony opacity-associated proteins (Opa(CEA) proteins) to bind to the amino-terminal domains of CEACAMs. Here we present a novel approach to rapidly determine the CEACAM-binding properties of single bacteria. Expression of the isolated amino-terminal domains of various CEACAMs in eukaryotic cells yields soluble probes that selectively recognize Opa(CEA)-expressing bacteria in a pull-down assay format. Furthermore, by expressing soluble CEACAMs as fusions to green-fluorescent protein (CEACAM-N-GFP), CEACAM-binding bacteria can be decorated with a fluorescent label and analysed by flow cytometry allowing the specific detection of receptor binding events on the level of single bacteria. Besides its potential for rapid and quantitative analysis of pathogen-receptor interactions, this novel approach allows the detection of receptor recognition in heterogeneous bacterial populations and might represent a valuable tool for profiling the host binding capabilities of various microorganisms. 相似文献

E-selectin mediates neovascularization via its soluble form, while its membrane-bound form initiates binding of tumor cells to vascular endothelium. Therefore, it was studied whether soluble E-selectin regulates further adhesion molecules on tumor cells. In tumor cells but not in related nonmalignant cells, intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 expression was strikingly increased from 5 to 68% positive cells byin vitroinoculation of a recombinant E-selectin–IgG1 within 24 h, as analyzed by flow cytometry. The absence of changes in the expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule, integrin ligands (CD11a, CD18, integrin α4), and sialyl-Lewis X indicates a specific effect of soluble E-selectin on ICAM-1. A cell adhesion assay revealed that the enhanced adhesion of T-cells to tumor cells mediated by soluble E-selectin-induced ICAM-1 expression was at a maximum after a 12-h incubation period. Therefore, ICAM-1 regulation on tumor cells might be a mechanism of immune escape. 相似文献

A novel T. cruzi heparin-binding protein promotes fibroblast adhesion and penetration of engineered bacteria and trypanosomes into mammalian cells. 总被引:27,自引:0,他引:27
T. cruzi invades mammalian cells in various organs after migrating through the ECM. These activities appear to be mediated by a unique 60 kd protein exposed on the T. cruzi surface, which promotes selective adhesion of trypomastigotes to three ECM components: heparin, heparan sulfate, and collagen. The affinity-purified protein binds to host fibroblasts in a saturable and glycosaminoglycan- and collagen-inhibitable manner. When adsorbed to plastic, it promotes adhesion and spreading of fibroblasts, as does the recombinant protein expressed in E. coli. The endogenous protein, and reactive ECM proteins, are very effective in preventing T. cruzi invasion of culture cells. The recombinant protein localizes on the E. coli surface and induces the bacteria that express it to adhere to and penetrate nonphagocytic Vero cells in a proteoglycan- and collagen-inhibitable manner. Therefore, the protein, named penetrin, could play a critical role in T. cruzi binding to the ECM and to cells, and in host cell invasion. 相似文献

Fatal Ebola virus infection is characterized by a systemic inflammatory response similar to septic shock. Ebola glycoprotein (GP) is involved in this process through activating dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages. However, the mechanism is unclear. Here, we showed that LSECtin (also known as CLEC4G) plays an important role in GP-mediated inflammatory responses in human DCs. Anti-LSECtin mAb engagement induced TNF-α and IL-6 production in DCs, whereas silencing of LSECtin abrogated this effect. Intriguingly, as a pathogen-derived ligand, Ebola GP could trigger TNF-α and IL-6 release by DCs through LSECtin. Mechanistic investigations revealed that LSECtin initiated signaling via association with a 12-kDa DNAX-activating protein (DAP12) and induced Syk activation. Mutation of key tyrosines in the DAP12 immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif abrogated LSECtin-mediated signaling. Furthermore, Syk inhibitors significantly reduced the GP-triggered cytokine production in DCs. Therefore, our results demonstrate that LSECtin is required for the GP-induced inflammatory response, providing new insights into the EBOV-mediated inflammatory response. 相似文献

Summary Intercellular adhesion molecule-1, a member of the immunoglobulin supergene family, is the ligand for the integrin lymphocyte
function associated antigen-1. Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and lymphocyte function associated antigen-1 binding interactions
mediate leukocyte adherence and migration. Previous work has shown that the adherence of lymphocyte function associated antigen-1
is directed to the first immunoglobulinlike domain of the endothelial cell surface protein intracellular adhesion molecule-1.
We have constructed a truncated intercellular adhesion molecule-1 gene encoding the first 185 amino acids from the amino terminus
and overexpressed it inEscherichia coli. The recombinant protein was purified from insoluble inclusion bodies and refolded into an active conformation by a denaturation/renaturation
cycle. The identity of the protein was confirmed by microsequencing and by Western blot analysis using a polyclonal antibody
to ICAM-1. We have demonstrated that this soluble region of the otherwise membrane-bound ligand is an inhibitor of Molt or
HL-60 cell adhesion to cytokine-stimulated endothelial cells. 相似文献

Pneumococcal serine-rich repeat protein (PsrP) is a pathogenicity island-encoded adhesin that mediates attachment to lung cells. It is a member of the serine-rich repeat protein family and the largest bacterial protein known. PsrP production by S. pneumoniae was confirmed by immunoblotting and a truncated version of the protein was determined to be glycosylated. Using isogenic psrP mutants complemented with various PsrP constructs and competitive inhibition assays with recombinant proteins, we determined that PsrP requires an extended SRR2 domain for function and that adhesion is mediated through amino acids 273–341 of its basic region (BR) domain. Affinity chromatography, immunoprecipitation, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), fluorescent-activated cell sorting (FACS) and immunofluorescent colocalization studies determined that PsrP binds to Keratin 10 (K10) on the surface of lung but not nasopharyngeal epithelial cells. Unglycosylated K10 bound to wild type but not psrP deficient pneumococci; suggesting that unlike other serine-rich repeat proteins, PsrP-mediated adhesion is independent of lectin activity. Finally, mice immunized with recombinant (r)PsrPBR had significantly less bacteria in their blood and improved survival versus controls following intranasal challenge. We conclude that the BR domain of PsrP binds to K10 in a lectin-independent manner, that K10 is expressed on lung cells and that vaccination with rPsrPBR is protective against pneumococcal disease. 相似文献
