Porphyromonas gingivalis is a gram-negative, anaerobic coccobacillus that has been implicated as a major etiological agent in the development of chronic periodontitis. In this paper, we report the characterization of a protein, IhtB (iron heme transport; formerly designated Pga30), that is an outer membrane hemin-binding protein potentially involved in iron assimilation by P. gingivalis. IhtB was localized to the cell surface of P. gingivalis by Western blot analysis of a Sarkosyl-insoluble outer membrane preparation and by immunocytochemical staining of whole cells using IhtB peptide-specific antisera. The protein, released from the cell surface, was shown to bind to hemin using hemin-agarose. The growth of heme-limited, but not heme-replete, P. gingivalis cells was inhibited by preincubation with IhtB peptide-specific antisera. The ihtB gene was located between an open reading frame encoding a putative TonB-linked outer membrane receptor and three open reading frames that have sequence similarity to ATP binding cassette transport system operons in other bacteria. Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence of IhtB showed significant similarity to the Salmonella typhimurium protein CbiK, a cobalt chelatase that is structurally related to the ATP-independent family of ferrochelatases. Molecular modeling indicated that the IhtB amino acid sequence could be threaded onto the CbiK fold with the IhtB structural model containing the active-site residues critical for chelatase activity. These results suggest that IhtB is a peripheral outer membrane chelatase that may remove iron from heme prior to uptake by P. gingivalis. 相似文献

A 26-kDa outer membrane protein (Omp26) has been proposed to play a role in hemin acquisition by Porphyromonas gingivalis (T. E. Bramanti and S. C. Holt, J. Bacteriol. 174:5827-5839, 1992). We studied [55Fe]hemin uptake in P. gingivalis grown under conditions of hemin starvation (Omp26 expressed on the outer membrane surface) and hemin excess (Omp26 not expressed on surface). [55Fe]hemin uptake occurred rapidly in hemin-starved cells which incorporated up to 70% of total [55Fe]hemin within 3 min. P. gingivalis grown under hemin-starved conditions or treated with the iron chelator 2,2'-bipyridyl to induce an iron stress took up six times more [55Fe]hemin than hemin-excess-grown cells. Polyclonal monospecific anti-Omp26 antibody added to hemin-starved cells inhibited [55Fe]hemin uptake by more than 50%, whereas preimmune serum had no effect. [55Fe]hemin uptake in hemin-starved P. gingivalis was inhibited (36 to 67%) in the presence of equimolar amounts of unlabeled hemin, protoporphyrin IX, zinz protoporphyrin, and Congo red dye but was not inhibited in the presence of non-hemin-containing iron sources. Heat shock treatment (45 degrees C) of hemin-excess-grown P. gingivalis (which cases translocation of Omp26 to the surface) increased [55Fe]hemin uptake by threefold after 3 min in comparison with cells grown at 37 degrees C. However, no [55Fe] hemin uptake beyond 3 min was observed in either hemin-excess-grown or hemin-starved cells exposed to heat shock. In experiments using heterobifunctional cross-linker analysis, hemin and selected porphyrins were cross-linked to Omp26 in hemin-starved P. gingivalis, but no cross-linking was seen with hemin-excess-grown cells. However, cross-linking of hemin to Omp26 was observed after heat shock treatment of hemin-excess-grown cells. Finally, anti-Omp26 antibody inhibited cross-linked of hemin to Omp26. These findings indicate that hemin binding and transport into P.gingivalis cell mediated by Omp26. 相似文献

It has been known that Porphyromonas gingivalis has an obligate requirement for hemin or selected heme- or Fe-containing compounds for its growth. In addition, the influence of hemin on the expression of several putative virulence factors produced by this bacterium has also been recently documented; however, the mechanisms involved in hemin uptake are poorly defined. We succeeded in cloning the gene coding for the 35-kDa protein, which was specifically expressed in P. gingivalis and seemed to confer colonizing activities. Recently, we have constructed the P. gingivalis 381 mutant defective in the 35-kDa protein by insertion mutagenesis. The beige mutant exhibited little co-aggregation and the virulence was also decreased. Based on these results and homology search analysis, we focused on assessing the hemin bindings and found the heme regulatory motif (HRM) as a hemin direct binding site. The 35-kDa protein did possess the binding ability of selected protoporphyrins involving the hemin. These results demonstrated that 35-kDa protein is one of the hemin binding proteins in P. gingivalis and suggested that hemin binding ability of 35-kDa protein is important for the expression of virulence in P. gingivalis. 相似文献

Porphyromonas gingivalis, the major human pathogen bacterium associated with periodontal diseases, secretes virulence factors through the Bacteroidetes-specific type IX secretion system (T9SS). Effector proteins of the T9SS are recognized by the complex via their conserved C-terminal domains (CTDs). Among the 18 proteins essential for T9SS function in P. gingivalis, PorN is a periplasmic protein that forms large ring-shaped structures in association with the PorK outer membrane lipoprotein. PorN also mediates contacts with the PorM subunit of the PorLM energetic module, and with the effector’s CTD. However, no information is available on the PorN structure and on the implication of PorN domains for T9SS assembly and effector recognition. Here we present the crystal structure of PorN at 2.0-Å resolution, which represents a novel fold with no significant similarity to any known structure. In agreement with in silico analyses, we also found that the N- and C-terminal regions of PorN are intrinsically disordered. Our functional studies showed that the N-terminal disordered region is involved in PorN dimerization while the C-terminal disordered region is involved in the interaction with PorK. Finally, we determined that the folded PorN central domain is involved in the interaction with PorM, as well as with the effector’s CTD. Altogether, these results lay the foundations for a more comprehensive model of T9SS architecture and effector transport. 相似文献

Gingipains are extracellular proteases important for the virulence of Porphyromonas gingivalis; however, the mechanism for the secretion of gingipains is poorly understood. In this report, we found that insertion mutants for PG0809 (83K1 and 83K2) were defective in black pigmentation and hemolysis. We cloned and sequenced PG0809 and found that PG0809 contains two additional nucleotides that are not deposited in the W83 genome database. The revised sequence reveals an in-frame fusion of PG0810 and PG0809 and is designated the sov gene. We constructed a sov deletion mutant (83K3) and showed that 83K3 was defective in the activities of black pigmentation, hemolysis, and hemagglutination. Furthermore, in 83K3, the activities of gingipains were severely reduced whereas those of other secreted proteases DPPIV, DPP-7, and PtpA were not affected. Immunoblot analysis using anti-RgpB antiserum showed that Arg-gingipains were poorly secreted in an outer membrane or into an extracellular portion but accumulated within the cells of 83K3, suggesting the secretion of gingipains is defected in 83K3. Taken together, our findings indicated that Sov is a novel protein required for the secretion of gingipains and suggested that the secretion system for gingipains is different from the conserved secretion systems. 相似文献

The porphyrin auxotrophic pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis obtains the majority of essential iron and porphyrin from host hemoproteins. To achieve this, the organism expresses outer membrane gingipains containing cysteine proteinase domains linked to hemagglutinin domains. Heme mobilized in this way is taken up by P. gingivalis through a variety of potential portals where HmuY/HmuR of the hmu locus are best described. These receptors have relatively low binding affinities for heme. In this report, we describe a novel P. gingivalis protein, HusA, the product of PG2227, which rapidly bound heme with a high binding constant at equilibrium of 7 × 10(-10) M. HusA is both expressed on the outer membrane and released from the organism. Spectral analysis indicated an unusual pattern of binding where heme was ligated preferentially as a dimer. Further, the presence of dimeric heme induced protein dimer formation. Deletional inactivation of husA showed that expression of this moiety was essential for growth of P. gingivalis under conditions of heme limitation. This finding was in accord with the pronounced increase in gene expression levels for husA with progressive reduction of heme supplementation. Antibodies reactive against HusA were detected in patients with chronic periodontitis, suggesting that the protein is expressed during the course of infection by P. gingivalis. It is predicted that HusA efficiently sequesters heme from gingipains and fulfills the function of a high affinity hemophore-like protein to meet the heme requirement for growth of P. gingivalis during establishment of infection. 相似文献

Periodontitis is one of the most common oral diseases in humans. This caused by infection by the oral bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis. Our strategy to prevent this infection is to establish a passive immunization system in which endogenous antibodies can be applied directly to neutralize virulent factors associated with this bacterium. We focused our attention on the P. gingivalis 35 kDa surface protein, or HBP35, since this protein is involved not only in the coaggregation with oral miroflora but also in hemin binding. In addition, nucleotide sequencing of the gene, hbp35, coding for this protein revealed the presence of a catalytic center for thioredoxin, and we further attempted to characterized the protein by amino acid substitution. A total of four Cys residues were substituted for Ser residues by combining the simple method for site-directed mutagenesis and the heterodimer system, an approach designed to construct chimeric plasmids readily. Native and mutagenized hbp35 were introduced into the Eschericha coli dsbA mutant strain, JCB 572, defective in both alkaline phosphatase and motile activities due to inefficient disulfide bond formation. Transformant harboring the native hbp35 could complement the dsbA mutation, suggesting a role of disulfide bond formation of this protein in P. gingivalis cells. Possible roles of the Cys residues in complementation are discussed. 相似文献

Porphyromonas gingivalis secretes endopeptidase gingipains, which are important virulence factors of this bacterium. Gingipains are transported across the inner membrane via the Sec system, followed by transport across the outer membrane via an unidentified pathway. The latter transport step is suggested to be mediated via a novel protein secretion pathway. In the present study, we report a novel candidate as an essential factor for the latter transport step. The PG0027 gene of P. gingivalis W83 encodes novel protein PG27. In a PG0027 deletion mutant (83K10), the activities of Arg-gingipain and Lys-gingipain were severely reduced, while the activities of secreted exopeptidases DPPIV, DPP-7, and PTP-A were unaffected. Protein localization was investigated by cell-surface biotinylation, subcellular fractionation, and immunoblot analysis. In the wild-type W83, Arg-gingipains in membrane fraction were detected as cell surface proteins. In contrast, in 83K10, Arg-gingipains were trapped in the periplasm and hardly secreted into an extracellular milieu. PG27 was suggested to be exposed to the cell surface by a cell surface biotinylation experiment; however, PG27 was detected in both inner and outer membrane fractions by subcellular fractionation experiments. Taken together, we suggest that PG27 is a unique membrane protein essential for a novel secretion pathway. 相似文献

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a major pathogen implicated in chronic periodontitis. We examined whether P. gingivalis affected the secretion of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-18 (IL-18) in macrophage-like THP-1 cells and in monocytic THP-1 cells in suspension. Live P. gingivalis-induced significant IL-18 secretion. Heat-inactivation of P. gingivalis greatly reduced the IL-18 stimulation; the IL-18 levels were similar to that observed with P. gingivalis LPS alone. Live P. gingivalis caused a cytotoxic effect that was reduced greatly by heat-inactivation. Our observations indicate that P. gingivalis specifically stimulates the production and release of the active form of IL-18, which may contribute to the progression of periodontitis. 相似文献

The luxS gene of quorum-sensing Vibrio harveyi is required for type 2 autoinducer production. We identified a Porphyromonas gingivalis open reading frame encoding a predicted peptide of 161 aa that shares 29% identity with the amino acid sequence of the LuxS protein of V. harveyi. Conditioned medium from a late-log-phase P. gingivalis culture induced the luciferase operon of V. harveyi, but that from a luxS insertional mutant did not. In P. gingivalis, the expression of luxS mRNA was environmentally controlled and varied according to the cell density and the osmolarity of the culture medium. In addition, differential display PCR showed that the inactivation of P. gingivalis luxS resulted in up-regulation of a hemin acquisition protein and an arginine-specific protease and reduced expression of a hemin-regulated protein, a TonB homologue, and an excinuclease. The data suggest that the luxS gene in P. gingivalis may function to control the expression of genes involved in the acquisition of hemin. 相似文献

Porphyromonas has lipids containing hydroxy acids and C16:0 and iso-C15:0 major monocarboxylic acids among others. Nothing is known of its individual phospholipid molecular species. The aim of this study was to determine molecular weights and putative identities of individual phospholipid molecular species extracted from Porphyromonas gingivalis (seven strains), P. asaccharolytica (one strain) and P. endodontalis (two strains). Cultures on Blood-Fastidious Anaerobe Agar were harvested, washed and freeze-dried. Phospholipids were extracted and separated by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB MS) in negative-ion mode. Phospholipid classes were also separated by thin layer chromatography (TLC). The major anions in the range m/z 209-299 were consistent with the presence of the C13: 0, C15: 0, C16: 0 and C18: 3 mono-carboxylate anions. Major polar lipid anion peaks in the range m/z 618-961 were consistent with the presence of molecular species of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and with unidentified lipid analogues. Porphyromonas gingivalis differed from comparison strains of other species by having major anions with m/z 932, 946 and 960. Unusually, a feline strain of P. gingivalis had a major peak of m/z 736. Selected anions were studied by tandem FAB MS which revealed that peaks with m/z 653 and 946 did not correspond to commonly occurring classes of polar lipids. They were however, glycerophosphates. It is concluded that the polar lipid analogue profiles obtained with Porphyromonas are quite different from those of the genera Prevotella and Bacteroides but reveal heterogeneity within P. gingivalis. 相似文献

Heat-shock proteins of Porphyromonas gingivalis were demonstrated and two of them were purified and further characterized. The amplified de novo synthesis of two different proteins, with apparent molecular weights of 75 kDa and 68 kDa, was observed by autofluorography when a P. gingivalis culture incubated in a 14C-labeled amino acid mixture was shifted from 37 degrees C to 44 degrees C. Both proteins possessed ATP-binding abilities and were purified to almost homogeneity employing affinity chromatography on ATP-agarose followed by preparative SDS-PAGE. Purified 75 kDa and 68 kDa proteins had isoelectric points of 4.4 and 4.6, respectively. They were shown to be immunoreactive with commercial anti-DnaK and anti-GroEL polyclonal antibodies, respectively. Immunoblotting analysis of whole cells using antiserum raised against each purified protein from P. gingivalis, confirmed elevated synthesis of both proteins during thermal shock. A GroEL protein reacted strongly with antiserum against the 68 kDa protein. However, a DnaK protein reacted weakly with antiserum to the 75 kDa protein. Analysis of the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the DnaK-like protein (75 kDa) showed a high degree of homology with those of the HSP70 family including both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The N-terminal amino acid analysis of the GroEL-like protein (68 kDa) indicated that it was identical to those of cloned GroEL homologues from P. gingivalis. 相似文献

Whole-cell quantitative proteomic analyses were conducted to investigate the change from an extracellular to intracellular lifestyle for Porphyromonas gingivalis, a Gram-negative intracellular pathogen associated with periodontal disease. Global protein abundance data for P. gingivalis strain ATCC 33277 internalized for 18 h within human gingival epithelial cells and controls exposed to gingival cell culture medium were obtained at sufficient coverage to provide strong evidence that these changes are profound. A total of 385 proteins were overexpressed in internalized P. gingivalis relative to controls; 240 proteins were shown to be underexpressed. This represented in total about 28% of the protein encoding ORFs annotated for this organism, and slightly less than half of the proteins that were observed experimentally. Production of several proteases, including the classical virulence factors RgpA, RgpB, and Kgp, was decreased. A separate validation study was carried out in which a 16-fold dilution of the P. gingivalis proteome was compared to the undiluted sample in order to assess the quantitative false negative rate (all ratios truly alternative). Truly null (no change) abundance ratios from technical replicates were used to assess the rate of quantitative false positives over the entire proteome. A global comparison between the direction of abundance change observed and previously published bioinformatic gene pair predictions for P. gingivalis will assist with future studies of P. gingivalis gene regulation and operon prediction. 相似文献

Abstract Pseudomonas fluorescens appeared to grow in a mineral medium containing strontium (5 mM) complexed to citrate, the sole source of carbon, without any evident inhibition in cellular yield. Atomic absorption studies showed that the divalent metal was excluded from the cytoplasmic component and was initially found in the supernatant fluid in soluble form(s). However, as growth progressed, strontium was immobilized as a light green extracellular residue. X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and acid treatment revealed that this insoluble moiety was crystalline strontium carbonate. Scanning electron microscopy aided in the identification of rounded bodies associated with these strontium carbonate crystals. A three-fold increment in the level of dissolved carbon dioxide observed in the spent fluid from the strontium supplemented medium would imply that this moiety may be playing a pivotal role in the deposition of the mineral. 相似文献
