Outer membrane proteins of gentamicin induced small colony variants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Small colony variants (SCVs) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa NCTC 6750 (WT) were repeatedly isolated in an in vitro kinetic model after exposure to gentamicin (GM). There were minor differences biochemically and in phage and serotyping between the wild type (WT) strain and SCVs. Changes in outer membrane protein profiles were found. SCVs were more resistant to polymixin and to a range of aminoglycosides (except kanamycin), but were more susceptible to a range of other antibiotics (hydrophilic and hydrophobic) with differing modes of action. 相似文献

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic human bacterial pathogen, constitutively secretes outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) into the extracellular milieu. Although recent progress has revealed that OMVs are essential for pathogenesis of P. aeruginosa, their proteins have not been comprehensively analyzed so far. In this study, we identified 338 vesicular proteins with high confidence by five separate LC-MS/MS analyses. This global proteome profile provides a basis for future studies to elucidate the pathological functions of OMVs from P. aeruginosa. 相似文献

A Tn501 mutant of Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistant to imipenem and lacking the imipenem-specific outer membrane porin protein OprD was isolated. The mutation could be complemented to imipenem susceptibility and OprD-sufficiency by a cloned 6-kb EcoRI-PstI fragment of DNA from the region of chromosome of the wild-type strain surrounding the site of Tn501 insertion. However, this fragment did not contain the oprD structural gene as judged by its inability to hybridize with an oligonucleotide corresponding to the N-terminal amino acid sequence of OprD. DNA sequencing of 3.9 kb of the region surrounding the Tn501 insertion site revealed three large open reading frames, one of which would be interrupted by the Tn501 insertion in the mutant. This latter open reading frame, named opdE (for putative regulator of oprD expression), predicted a hydrophobic protein of M(r) 41,592. Using the above-mentioned oligonucleotide, the oprD structural gene was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli on a 2.1-kb Bam HI-KpnI fragment. DNA sequencing predicted a 420 amino acid mature OprD protein with a 23 amino acid signal sequence. 相似文献

The third genes, opmE, opmD and opmB, of multidrug efflux operons deduced from the Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 genome data were cloned by polymerase chain reaction. The opmB gene product showed functional cooperation with inner membrane-associated components, MexAB, MexCD and MexXY, of the previously characterized multidrug efflux systems responsible for resistance to antimicrobial agents and extrusion of ethidium. The opmE and opmD gene products did not show functional cooperation. Immunoblots using a specific rabbit antiserum demonstrated, through exponential to stationary phases, constant expression of opmB and growth phase-dependent expression of opmD. 相似文献

The outer membrane of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA01 is permeable to saccharides of molecular weights lower than about 6000. Triton X-100/EDTA-soluble outer membrane proteins were fractionated by ion-exchange chromatography in the presence of Triton X-100 and EDTA, and the protein contents of the various fractions analysed by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Each of the major protein bands present in the Triton X-100/EDTA soluble outer membrane was separated from one another. Adjacent fractions were pooled, concentrated and extensively dialyzed to reduce the Triton X-100 concentration. Vesicles were reconstituted from lipopolysaccharide, phospholipids and each of these dialyzed fractions, and examined for their ability to retain [14C]sucrose. Control experiments indicated that the residual levels of Triton X-100 remaining in the dialyzed fractions had no effect on the formation or permeability to saccharides of the reconstituted vesicles. It was concluded that a major outer membrane polypeptide with an apparent weight of 35 000 is a porin, responsible for the size-dependent permeability of the outer membrane. 相似文献

Abstract The outer membrane proteins of several prominent bacterial pathogens demonstrate substantial variation in their surface antigenic epitopes. To determine if this was also true for Pseudomonas aeruginosa outer membraine protein OprF, gene sequencing of a serotype 5 isolate was performed to permit comparison with the published serotype 12 oprF gene sequence. Only 16 nucleotide substitutions in the 1053 nucleotide coding region were observed; none of these changed the amino acid sequence. A panel of 10 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) reacted with each of 46 P. aeruginosa strains representing all 17 serotype strains, 12 clinical isolates, 15 environmental isolates and 2 laboratory isolates. Between two and eight of these mAbs also reacted with proteins from representatives of the rRNA homology group I of the Pseudomonadaceae . Nine of the ten mAbs recognized surface antigenic epitopes as determined by indirect immunofluorescence techniques and their ability to opsonize P. aeuroginosa for phagocytosis. These epitopes were partially masked by lipopolysacharide side chains as revealed using a side chain-deficient mutant. It is concluded that OprF is a highly conserved protein with several conserved surface antigenic epitopes. 相似文献

Abstract OprM with a M r of 49 K is associated with the multidrug resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa . Detergent fractionation of bacterial cells has demonstrated that OprM is located in the outer membrane from which it sediments with the other major outer membrane proteins. In this study we have determined the location of OprM as the P. aeruginosa outer membrane. Western immunoblots of cell fractions, obtained by sucrose density gradient centrifugation of whole cell lysates, were probed with an OprM-specific murine polyclonal antiserum. 相似文献

In a recent clinical trial we evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of a recombinant OprF-OprI vaccine consisting of the mature outer membrane protein I (OprI) and amino acids 190-342 of OprF of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in burn patients and compared the elicited antibodies with antibodies against tetanus as response to a simultaneous immunization given on the day of admission. Safety and immunogenicity of the vaccine had been tested before in healthy human volunteers as published in 1999. In this first clinical trial we immunized eight burn patients suffering from second or third degree burns involving between 35% and 55% of the body surface three times with 100 microg of the OprF-OprI vaccine. The vaccine was found to be very well tolerated. The patients did not show any serious side effects - and in particular no activation of the mediator cascade was observed. None of the subjects showed systemic P. aeruginosa infections during or after the treatment of their burns. The serological tests (ELISA) for detection of antibodies against P. aeruginosa and tetanus toxoid showed seroconversion for seven patients after inoculation. The data indicate that OprF-OprI can be a useful vaccine in the therapeutic management of burn injuries. 相似文献

Gram-negative bacteria produce outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) and contain bacterial cargo including nucleic acids and proteins. The proteome of OMVs can be altered by various factors including bacterial growth stage, growth conditions, and environmental factors. However, it is currently unknown if the mechanism of OMV biogenesis can determine their proteome. In this study, we examined whether the mechanisms of OMV biogenesis influenced the production and protein composition of Pseudomonas aeruginosa OMVs. OMVs were isolated from three P. aeruginosa strains that produced OMVs either by budding alone, by explosive cell lysis, or by both budding and explosive cell lysis. We identified that the mechanism of OMV biogenesis dictated OMV quantity. Furthermore, a global proteomic analysis comparing the proteome of OMVs to their parent bacteria showed significant differences in the identification of proteins in bacteria and OMVs. Finally, we determined that the mechanism of OMV biogenesis influenced the protein composition of OMVs, as OMVs released by distinct mechanisms of biogenesis differed significantly from one another in their proteome and functional enrichment analysis. Overall, our findings reveal that the mechanism of OMV biogenesis is a main factor that determines the OMV proteome which may affect their subsequent biological functions. 相似文献

Abstract Monoclonal antibodies raised against single serotype components of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa vaccine have been shown to bind to the O antigen region of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Outer membrane (OM) proteins, prepared by detergent treatment of envelope fractions and by EDTA/sonication treatment of whole cells, were separated on sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), electrophoretically transferred to nitrocellulose membrane and reacted with LPS-specific monoclonal antibodies. The patterns produced revealed that many of the protein bands were in fact protein-LPS complexes. 相似文献

Abstract Immunoblotting techniques were used to study the antibody response of a burn patient during the acute phase of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. The results showed the presence in the patient's serum of antibodies to outer-membrane proteins (OMPs) including iron-regulated membrane proteins (IRMPs) of the infecting strain of P. aeruginosa as well as a representative index of Enterobacteriaceae. The patient's serum also contained antibodies which reacted with OMPs of other serotypes of P. aeruginosa . 相似文献

Abstract The pH of the environment influenced the expression of outer membrane protein by S. enteritidis PT4 growing in broth. Growth in broth at pH 5 to 7 resulted in variation in expression of outer membrane proteins of 18 to 22 kDa. Bacteria became acid-fixed and non-viable following prolonged incubation in broth with a pH below 5, and expression of flagella was repressed. 相似文献

Outer membrane protein F of Pseudomonas aeruginosa has vaccine efficacy against infection by P. aeruginosa as demonstrated in a variety of animal models. Through the use of synthetic peptides, three surface-exposed epitopes have been identified. These are called peptides 9 (aa 261-274 in the mature F protein, TDAYNQKLSERRAN), 10 (aa 305-318, NATAEGRAINRRVE), and 18 (aa 282-295, NEYGVEGGRVNAVG). Both the peptide 9 and 10 epitopes are protective when administered as a vaccine. In order to develop a vaccine that is suitable for use in humans, including infants with cystic fibrosis, the use of viral vector systems to present the protective epitopes has been investigated. An 11-amino acid portion of epitope 10 (AEGRAINRRVE) was successfully inserted into the antigenic B site of the hemagglutinin on the surface of influenza virus. This chimeric influenza virus protects against challenge with P. aeruginosa in the mouse model of chronic pulmonary infection. Attempts to derive a chimeric influenza virus carrying epitope 9 have been unsuccessful. A chimeric plant virus, cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV), with epitopes 18 and 10 expressed in tandem on the large coat protein subunit (CPMV-PAE5) was found to elicit antibodies that reacted exclusively with the 10 epitope and not with epitope 18. Use of this chimeric virus as a vaccine afforded protection against challenge with P. aeruginosa in the mouse model of chronic pulmonary infection. Chimeric CPMVs with a single peptide containing epitopes 9 and 18 expressed on either of the coat proteins are in the process of being evaluated. Epitope 9 was successfully expressed on the coat protein of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), and this chimeric virus is protective when used as a vaccine in the mouse model of chronic pulmonary infection. However, initial attempts to express epitope 10 on the coat protein of TMV have been unsuccessful. Efforts are continuing to construct chimeric viruses that express both the 9 and 10 epitopes in the same virus vector system. Ideally, the use of a vaccine containing two epitopes of protein F is desirable in order to greatly reduce the likelihood of selecting a variant of P. aeruginosa that escapes protective antibodies in immunized humans via a mutation in a single epitope within protein F. When the chimeric influenza virus containing epitope 10 and the chimeric TMV containing epitope 9 were given together as a combined vaccine, the immunized mice produced antibodies directed toward both epitopes 9 and 10. The combined vaccine afforded protection against challenge with P. aeruginosa in the chronic pulmonary infection model at approximately the same level of efficacy as provided by the individual chimeric virus vaccines. These results prove in principle that a combined chimeric viral vaccine presenting both epitopes 9 and 10 of protein F has vaccine potential warranting continued development into a vaccine for use in humans. 相似文献

Abstract Pseudomonas aeruginosa NCTC6750 and Escherichia coli K12 were used to study permeability of whole, intact cells to a series of labelled oligosaccharides. Stationary phase, oxygen depleted simple salts batch cultures were used. An efflux method was used to compare diffusion from cells of various 3 H-labelled sugars (an homologous series based on isomaltitol) with diffusion of [14 C]sucrose. Both plasmolysed and unplasmolysed cell suspensions were used. The data are consistent with an E. coli pore exclusion limit of approx. 833 Da for unplasmolysed cells and of about 670 Da for plasmolysed cells. For P. aeruginosa the data indicated a relatively small pore exclusion limit about the same size as sucrose with plasmolysis having little effect. These findings were confirmed with P. aeruginosa PAO1 grown in nutrient broth. 相似文献

Abstract The Gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa secretes many proteins into the extracellular medium. At least two distinct secretion pathways can be discerned. The majority of the exoproteins are secreted via a two-step mechanism. These proteins are first translocated across the inner membrane in a signal sequence-dependent fashion. The subsequent translocation across the outer membrane requires the products of at least 12 distinct xcp genes. The exact role of one of these proteins, the XcpA protein, has been resolved. It is a peptidase that is required for the processing of the precursors of four other Xcp proteins, thus allowing their assembly into the secretion apparatus. This peptidase is also required for the processing of the precursors of type IV pili subunits. Two other Xcp proteins, XcpR and XcpS, display extensive homology to proteins involved in pili biogenesis, which suggests that the assembly of the secretion apparatus and the biogenesis of type IV pili are related processes. The secretion of alkaline protease does not require the xcp gene products. This enzyme, which is encoded by the aprA gene, is not synthesized in a precursor form with an N-terminal signal sequence. Secretion across the two membranes probably takes place in one step at adhesion zones that may be constituted by three accessory proteins, designated AprD, AprE and AprF. The two secretion pathways found in P. aeruginosa appear to habe disseminate widely among Gram-negative bacteria. 相似文献

It was previously shown that the chemotaxis gene cluster 1 (cheYZABW) was required for chemotaxis. In this study, the involvement of the same cluster in aerotaxis is described and two transducer genes for aerotaxis are identified. Aerotaxis assays of a number of deletion-insertion mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 revealed that the chemotaxis gene cluster 1 and cheR are required for aerotaxis. Mutant strains which contained deletions in the methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein-like genes tlpC and tlpG showed decreased aerotaxis. A double mutant deficient in tlpC and tlpG was negative for aerotaxis. TlpC has 45% amino acid identity with the Escherichia coli aerotactic transducer Aer. The TlpG protein has a predicted C-terminal segment with 89% identity to the highly conserved domain of the E. coli serine chemoreceptor Tsr. A hydropathy plot of TlpG indicated that hydrophobic membrane-spanning regions are missing in TlpG. A PAS motif was found in the N-terminal domains of TlpC and TlpG. On this basis, the tlpC and tlpG genes were renamed aer and aer-2, respectively. No significant homology other than the PAS motif was detected in the N-terminal domains between Aer and Aer-2. 相似文献

Molecular structure of the outer bacterial membrane of Pseudomonas aeruginosa via classical simulation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A detailed structural analysis has been performed of the outer bacterial membrane of Pseudomonas aeruginosa using a parameterized classical simulation model (R. D. Lins and T. P. Straatsma, Biophysical Journal, 2001, Vol. 81, pp. 1037-1046) with modest modifications. The structural analysis of the membrane is presented and newly discovered characteristics of the membrane are discussed. Simulations indicate that the relative contribution of different ligands to calcium ion coordination varies across the membrane, while maintaining a constant average coordination number of 6.1. Water penetrates the surface of the membrane to a depth of about 30 A. The hydration of ions and phosphate groups is shown to depend on location within the membrane. A measure of saccharide residue orientation is defined and average orientations are presented. Saccharide residues possess varying degrees of motion with a trend of greater mobility at the membrane surface. However, their motion is limited and even in the membrane outer core region the average structure appears fairly rigid over a period of 1 ns. 相似文献

Virulent P. aeruginosa strains express PcrV, one of the translocational components of the type III secretion system. PcrV has been reported to be a protective antigen against lethal P. aeruginosa infection. The PcrV region, which contributes to protective immunity against P. aeruginosa infection, was investigated by using genetically engineered, truncated PcrV proteins and affinity-purified anti-PcrV antibodies against the truncated PcrV proteins. The efficacy of active and passive immunization against PcrV was tested in mice with cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppression by intraabdominal challenge of P. aeruginosa . Active immunization with either full-length PcrV1-294 or PcrV139-294 significantly improved the survival of mice infected with P. aeruginosa , while PcrV139-258, PcrV139-234, PcrV197-294, and PcrV261-294 were not protective. These results suggest that an effective PcrV vaccine needs to contain not only the Mab166 epitope (PcrV144-257) but also the carboxyl terminal tail of PcrV. In the case of passive immunization, administration of affinity-purified anti-PcrV IgG against either PcrV1-294 or PcrV139-258 showed significantly higher efficacy against lethal P. aeruginosa infection than did original anti-PcrV IgG and Mab166. The increased efficacy of affinity-purified anti-PcrV IgG implies that more potent anti-PcrV strategies are possible. The results of this study are crucial to the development of an effective PcrV vaccine for active immunization and to an appropriate blocking anti-PcrV antibody against P. aeruginosa infection in humans. 相似文献
