The potential protective effect of immunization with outer-membrane protein I from Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Immunization of rabbits with outer membranes (OM) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae produced antibodies directed against outer-membrane proteins PI and PIII. The antibodies directed against PIII reacted equally well on Western blots with all strains tested, but antibodies directed against PI reacted only with the homologous strain. When purified PIB was used for immunization the immune response was quite different: the sera obtained reacted with both homologous and heterologous PIB types and also reacted with strains expressing PIA. Western blotting of peptides produced by sequential cleavage of PIB revealed that the antigenic determinants recognized by anti-OM sera were predominantly located in the central surface-exposed region of PIB, as is the epitope recognized by the protective anti-PIB monoclonal antibody SM24. In contrast antibodies produced by immunization with purified PI reacted with antigenic determinants in the N-terminal portion of PIB. Nevertheless these determinants are accessible to immune attack on the native protein since the anti-PI sera were opsonic and were strongly bactericidal for both PIA- and PIB-expressing strains.

Antimicrobial activity of protease inhibitor from leaves of Coccinia grandis (L.) Voigt

Antimicrobial activity of protease inhibitor isolated from Coccinia grandis (L.) Voigt. has been reported. A 14.3 kDa protease inhibitor (PI) was isolated and purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation (20-85% saturation), sephadex G-75, DEAE sepharose column and trypsin-sepharose affinity chromatography from the leaves of C. grandis. The purity was checked by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography. PI exhibited marked growth inhibitory effects on colon cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. PI was thermostable and showed antimicrobial activity without hemolytic activity. PI strongly inhibited pathogenic microbial strains, including Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus vulgaris, Eschershia coli, Bacillus subtilis and pathogenic fungus Candida albicans, Mucor indicus, Penicillium notatum, Aspergillus flavus and Cryptococcus neoformans. Examination by bright field microscopy showed inhibition of mycelial growth and sporulation. Morphologically, PI treated fungus showed a significant shrinkage of hyphal tips. Reduced PI completely lost its activity indicating that disulfide bridge is essential for its protease inhibitory and antifungal activity. Results reported in this study suggested that PI may be an excellent candidate for development of novel oral or other anti-infective agents.     

A method for purification of bacterial R-type lipopolysaccharides (lipooligosaccharides)

A new gel filtration method was developed for purification of R-type lipopolysaccharides (lipooligosaccharides) from some nonenteric gram-negative bacteria, including Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae, and Bordetella pertussis. These wild-type lipooligosaccharides are poorly extractable by the phenol-chloroform-ether extraction method of C. Galanos, O. Luderitz, and O. Westphal [1969) Eur. J. Biochem. 9, 245-249) and therefore a new procedure was developed for their isolation. The lipooligosaccharides (LOS) were first extracted by hot phenol-water, treated with RNase, then disaggregated in deoxycholic acid, and purified by gel filtration on Sephadex G-75. By comparison the conventional hot phenol-water purification method using repeated ultracentrifugations yielded less LOS. The yield of LOS by gel filtration was 30 to 108% higher and the purity was better.     

Degradation of heme in gram-negative bacteria: the product of the hemO gene of Neisseriae is a heme oxygenase

A full-length heme oxygenase gene from the gram-negative pathogen Neisseria meningitidis was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Expression of the enzyme yielded soluble catalytically active protein and caused accumulation of biliverdin within the E. coli cells. The purified HemO forms a 1:1 complex with heme and has a heme protein spectrum similar to that previously reported for the purified heme oxygenase (HmuO) from the gram-positive pathogen Corynebacterium diphtheriae and for eukaryotic heme oxygenases. The overall sequence identity between HemO and these heme oxygenases is, however, low. In the presence of ascorbate or the human NADPH cytochrome P450 reductase system, the heme-HemO complex is converted to ferric-biliverdin IXalpha and carbon monoxide as the final products. Homologs of the hemO gene were identified and characterized in six commensal Neisseria isolates, Neisseria lactamica, Neisseria subflava, Neisseria flava, Neisseria polysacchareae, Neisseria kochii, and Neisseria cinerea. All HemO orthologs shared between 95 and 98% identity in amino acid sequences with functionally important residues being completely conserved. This is the first heme oxygenase identified in a gram-negative pathogen. The identification of HemO as a heme oxygenase provides further evidence that oxidative cleavage of the heme is the mechanism by which some bacteria acquire iron for further use.     

Expression of the Neisseria gonorrhoeae major outer membrane protein PI in Escherichia coli

Summary To actively express an outer membrane protein, protein I (PI), from different strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in E.␣coli, PI gene fragments from two reference strains and four clinical isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae were obtained with PCR amplification. They were cloned into the PCR cloning vector pBS-T to form pBS-T-PI and sequenced. Subsequently, they were cloned into an expression vector pET-30b (+) to generate pET-PI recombinants. After inducing with isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG), the expressed PI proteins were analysed by SDS-PAGE, Western blotting and ELISA. The results implied that we had successfully constructed the PI gene recombinants from both reference strains and clinical isolates and obtained the recombinant proteins expressed in E. coli at relatively high levels, and the expressed proteins had the immunological activity with the corresponding antibodies. This research will be very helpful for the further study of these proteins in generating preventive vaccines on Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection and clinical diagnosis.

Cardiolipin is essential for higher proton translocation activity of reconstituted F_o

The Fo membrane domain of FoF1-ATPase complex had been purified from porcine heart mitochondria. SDS-PAGE with silver staining indicated that the purity of Fo was about 85% and the sample contained no subunits of F1-ATPase. The purified Fo was reconstituted into liposomes with different phospholipid composition, and the effect of CL (cardiolipin), PA (phosphatidic acid), PI (phosphatidylinositol) and PS (phosphatidylserine) on the H+ translocation activity of Fo was investigated. The results demonstrated that CL, PA and PI could promote the proton translocation of Fo with the order of CL>PA>>PI, while PS inhibited it. Meanwhile ADM (adriamycin) severely impaired the proton translocation activity of Fo vesicles containing CL, which suggested that CL's stimulation of the activity of reconstituted Fo might correlate with its non-bilayer propensity. After Fo was incorporated into the liposomes containing PE (phosphatidylethanolamine), DOPE (dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine) as well as DEPE (dielaidoylphospha     

Hemangiopoietin inhibits apoptosis of MO7e leukemia cells through phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-AKT pathway

Hemangiopoietin (HAPO) is a growth factor that significantly stimulates proliferation and survival of the primitive cells of hematopoietic and endothelial lineages. To determine the mechanism of action of HAPO, the anti-apoptotic activity and signal transduction pathway of HAPO were investigated using a factor-dependent leukemia cell line, the MO7e cells. Recombinant human HAPO (rhHAPO) was produced in Escherichia coli and purified by a series of column chromatography with a purity of more than 95%. rhHAPO significantly supported the survival of MO7e cells after deprivation of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor and activated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). When the MO7e cells were treated with two specific inhibitors to PI3K (LY294002 or wortmannin), a significant loss of cell viability with evidence of apoptosis was observed. Moreover, the protein kinase B (Akt), one of the downstream effectors of PI3K-dependent survival signaling, was activated in HAPO-stimulated MO7e cells. Phosphorylation of Akt at serine 473 and its downstream molecular Bad at serine 136 was induced by HAPO, but was blocked by two PI3K inhibitors, LY294002 and wortmannin. In addition, HAPO inhibited caspase-3 activities and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase degradation. Such an effect of HAPO was also significantly blocked by either LY294002 or wortmannin. These results indicate that HAPO protects MO7e cells from apoptotic death through a PI3K-Akt pathway.     

Molecular cloning, functional expression and purification of a glucan branching enzyme from Neisseria denitrificans(1).

The nucleotide sequence containing the complete structural information for a glucan branching enzyme was isolated from a Neisseria denitrificans genomic library. The gene was expressed in Escherichia coli and the active recombinant protein was purified. The deduced protein of 762 amino acids with a calculated molecular weight of 86313 Da shows similarity to the primary protein sequences of other known glucan branching enzymes. Amino acid sequencing of the isolated protein by Edman degradation confirmed the deduced start codon of the structural gene of the glucan branching enzyme. The purified glucan branching enzyme has a stimulating effect on the Neisseria amylosucrase activity.
