AgrA作为金黄色葡萄球菌双组分信号转导系统(two-component signal transduction system,TCST)的反应调节因子,能调控细菌毒力因子的表达,在金黄色葡萄球菌致病过程中起着重要的作用。采用无限制克隆法构建AgrA表达载体,在AgrA蛋白的C端融合绿色荧光蛋白(GFP)标签,通过实时监测GFP的荧光强度来快速检测重组蛋白的表达水平。首先利用单因素实验,筛选出宿主菌株BL21-(DE3)-PlysS;其次,结合Box-Behnken试验设计,筛选出最优蛋白质表达条件:诱导时间为22h、转速为222r/min、诱导剂浓度为0.5mmol/L,AgrA产量达到5.56mg/L。最后,基于AgrA蛋白LytTR区域的非放射性凝胶阻滞实验(non-radioactive electrophoretic mobility shift assay,EMSA)验证了AgrA的生物活性。提出了反应调节蛋白AgrA在大肠杆菌高效可溶性表达的策略,为双组分信号转导系统的体外研究奠定基础,也为其他反应调节蛋白的可溶性表达与分离纯化提供了一个可行借鉴。 相似文献

金黄色葡萄球菌是人类的一种重要病原菌,可以引起许多临床表现不同的感染性疾病。它所致感染的多样性和严重度取决于不同毒力因子的协同表达,而这些数量众多的毒力因子的表达会受到不同调节系统的控制,同时这些调节系统之间也存在着复杂的相互作用关系。这些基因调节系统主要有两大类:一类是双组分信号转导系统(如Agr、SaeRS、SrrAB、ArlSR、LytRS、WalKR);另一类是转录因子f如Sar、Rot、MgrA、SigmaB)。它们的协同作用有助于金黄色葡萄球菌对外界环境信号做出反应,调节致病过程中毒力因子在不同情况下的表达。 相似文献

金黄色葡萄球菌是一类重要的病原菌,其毒力因子的表达及分泌过程由多种双组分信号转导系统(two component signal transduction system,TCSTS)共同调控,其中ArlRS双组分信号转导系统与细菌的生长和分裂密切相关。ArlRS双组份系统的信号传递通过组氨酸激酶ArlS磷酸化实现,ArlS的胞内域被认为是调控毒力因子表达的重要功能域,以ArlS蛋白的胞内域部分即ArlS_(CA)为目标蛋白进行相关的活性研究。首先,构建pProEX-HTa-arls和pProEX-HTa-arlr重组质粒,对目的蛋白进行诱导表达。其次,利用金属离子螯合层析、离子交换层析以及凝胶过滤层析方法对目的蛋白进行分离纯化,纯化后的ArlR蛋白纯度可达98%,产量约为25mg/L;纯化后的ArlS蛋白纯度可达90%,产量约为15mg/L。圆二色谱检测结果显示纯化后的目的蛋白有完整的二级结构,体外磷酸化结果显示,ArlS蛋白具有激酶活性,自磷酸化后可以将磷酸基团转移给反应调控蛋白ArlR。最后,利用定点突变的方法,构建了418位和420位氨基酸残基突变的表达载体pProEX-HTa-ArlS_(CAG418A)和pProEX-HTa-ArlS_(CAG420A)。ArlS_(CAG418A)和ArlS_(CAG420A)蛋白不具有激酶活性,说明418位和420位氨基酸残基在ArlS蛋白的自磷酸过程中起着关键作用。 相似文献

Twenty clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus were examined to elucidate the virulence factors which are directly related to lethality in a mouse septic model. Heat or formalin treatment of the organism abolished the lethal activity of the live organism during challenge intravenously administered via the tail vein. Nevertheless, injection of ten times concentrated culture supernatant fluid (SUP) showed lethal activity in the mouse. However, there was no lethality when SUP was heated at 60 degrees C for 15 min. To examine variations of SUP lethality among strains, we collected 20 strains of S. aureus from four different hospitals. Then, we compared several factors for SUP lethality, which were the extracellular toxins and enzymes, such as toxic shock syndrome toxin 1, enterotoxin A, B, D, and hemolysins (alpha,beta,gamma), and also cytotoxic activity to human polymorphonuclear leukocytes and Vero cells. No difference was found among these factors except cytotoxic activity to Vero cells. Furthermore, we compared two strains in a mouse septic model according to the grade of bacteremia and lethal events. We found that mortality was higher with challenge by the strain whose SUP was lethal in comparison to the strain whose SUP was not lethal, even though the viable bacteria counts in the septic blood in both strains were not significantly different. This strongly supports the possibility that extracellular products, not the cell wall components, of S. aureus play the key role in the lethal event in this mouse septic model. In addition, among the extracellular products, those which have cytotoxic activity to Vero cells may contribute to the lethality in sepsis caused by S. aureus in this murine model. 相似文献

Porphyromonas gingivalis, a periodontopathogen, is an oral anaerobic gram-negative bacterium with numerous fimbriae on the cell surface. Fimbriae have been considered to be an important virulence factor in this organism. We analyzed the genomic DNA of transposon-induced, fimbria-deficient mutants derived from ATCC 33277 and found that seven independent mutants had transposon insertions within the same restriction fragment. Cloning and sequencing of the disrupted region from one of the mutants revealed two adjacent open reading frames (ORFs) which seemed to encode a two-component signal transduction system. We also found that six of the mutants had insertions in a gene, fimS, a homologue of the genes encoding sensor kinase, and that the insertion in the remaining one disrupted the gene immediately downstream, fimR, a homologue of the response regulator genes in other bacteria. These findings suggest that this two-component regulatory system is involved in fimbriation of P. gingivalis. 相似文献

Aims: The purpose of this study was to investigate the inactivation kinetics of Staphylococcus aureus in a ham model system by high hydrostatic pressure at ambient (25°C) and selected temperatures (45, 55°C). Selective [Baird Parker (BP) agar] and nonselective [brain heart infusion (BHI) agar] growth media were used for enumeration in order to count viable and sublethally injured cells. Methods and Results: The micro‐organism was exposed to a range of pressures (450, 500, 550, 600 MPa) at ambient temperature (25°C) for up to 45 min. Additionally, the behaviour of the micro‐organism was evaluated at mild temperatures in combination with high pressure treatment, namely: (i) 350, 400 and 450 MPa at 45°C; and (ii) 350 and 400 MPa at 55°C, for up to 12 min. Inactivation kinetics were calculated in terms of Dp and zp values. Survival curves of S. aureus at ambient temperature were mostly linear, whereas when temperature was applied, tailing was observed in most survival curves. The estimated Dp values and therefore the number of surviving cells, were substantially higher on the selective BP agar in the whole range of pressures applied, indicating that S. aureus showed greater recovery in the selective BP agar than the nonselective BHI agar. Samples pressurized at ambient temperature needed higher pressures (over 500 MPa) to achieve a reduction of the population of the pathogen more than 5 log CFU ml?1. The same level of inactivation was achieved at lower pressure levels when mild heating was simultaneously applied. Indeed, more than 6 log CFU ml?1 reductions were obtained at 400 MPa and 55°C within the first 7 min of the process in BHI medium. Conclusion: Elevated temperatures allowed lower pressure levels and shorter processing times of pathogen inactivation than at room temperature. Greater recovery of the pathogen was observed in the selective (BP agar) medium, regardless of pressure and temperature applied. Significance and Impact of the Study: The obtained kinetics could be employed by the industry in selecting optimum pressure/temperature processing conditions. Attention must be given to the selection of the enumeration medium, as the use of an inappropriate medium would lead to underestimation of the surviving cells, thus imposing a risk in the microbiological safety of the product. 相似文献

Septic arthritis in mice was used as a model to evaluate the virulence of Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) isolated from cases of bovine mastitis. In addition, the model was used to evaluate the cross protection elicited by heterologous antibodies. Mice were intramuscularly inoculated with serial bacterial doses of different strains of S. aureus or CNS, for virulence determination; they were monitored for arthritis, gangrene or death up to 20 days. Antibody response, cross reactivity and resistance to challenge were tested by subcutaneous inoculation with a low dose of one of the S. aureus or CNS strains followed by challenge with two S. aureus strains. S. aureus alpha-hemolysin isolate was the most virulent, followed by alpha+beta-hemolysin and beta-hemolysin isolates. The least virulent isolates were the non-hemolytic S. aureus strains but even they were more virulent than the CNS strains tested. Antibodies against three different S. aureus antigens were detected by the ELISA in all mice that were inoculated with the S. aureus strains but not in any of those with the CNS strains. Immunoblot test against various S. aureus strains as antigens showed high cross-reactivity among the S. aureus strains but only a slight similarity, restricted to the bands above 36 kDa, with the CNS sera. Low-dose inoculation of alpha or alpha+beta strains before challenge with homologous and heterologous strains protected the mice, whereas the two beta strains provided only partial protection. The inoculations of non-hemolytic S. aureus or the CNS strains did not elicit any protection. Our findings demonstrate that pre-exposure of mice to a low dose of certain S. aureus strains could provide protection and that the antibodies produced could have an important protective role. 相似文献
