Cepabactin from Pseudomonas cepacia, a new type of siderophore 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
In iron-deficient conditions of growth Pseudomonas cepacia ATCC 25416 excreted both pyochelin and a low-molecular-mass compound which strongly chelated iron(III), and facilitated iron translocation as demonstrated by growth and uptake experiments. The name cepabactin is proposed for this new siderophore. Comparisons of UV-visible spectra and chromatographic behaviour, together with 1H-NMR spectra, led to the conclusion that cepabactin is 1-hydroxy-5-methoxy-6-methyl-2(1H)-pyridinone, a compound which can be considered as a cyclic hydroxamate, but also as a heterocyclic analogue of catechol. This pyridinone has already been described by other workers as an antibiotic produced by Pseudomonas alcaligenes, and by a soil isolate closely related to Pseudomonas cepacia. Thus, cepabactin appears to act as a siderophore for more than one species of non-fluorescent pseudomonad. 相似文献

The ability of 46 strains of Pseudomonas cepacia to inhibit phytopathogenic fungi and the effect of iron on their antifungal activity were studied. The antifungal effect of the bacteria and the antimicrobial activity of their crude yellow and violet pigments showed a 4-5-fold decrease in the presence of Fe(III). The addition of 100 micrograms/ml of FeCl3 to the medium decreased the biosynthesis of violet and yellow pigments; the complex of the yellow pigment with Fe(III) promoted the growth of the P. cepacia producing strain under iron-deficient conditions. The data obtained suggest a participation of some P. cepacia pigments in iron transport. The resistance of the P. cepacia strains to the synthetic chelating agents hydroxyethylenediphosphonic and diethylenediaminepentaacetic acids was demonstrated, which may indicate a high Fe(III)-binding constant of P. cepacia siderophores. 相似文献

Burkholderia cepacia complex: distribution of genomovars among isolates from the maize rhizosphere in Italy 总被引:4,自引:2,他引:2

Burkholderia cepacia is a 'complex' in which seven genomic species or genomovars have so far been identified. It appears that all seven B. cepacia genomovars are capable of causing infections in vulnerable persons; in particular, the importance of Burkholderia multivorans (genomovar II) and B. cepacia genomovar III among cystic fibrosis isolates, especially epidemic ones, has been emphasized. In order to acquire a better comprehension of the genomovar composition of environmental populations of B. cepacia, 120 strains were isolated from the rhizosphere of maize plants cultivated in fields located in northern, central and southern Italy. The identification of the different genomovars was accomplished by a combination of molecular polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based techniques, such as restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of 16S rDNA (ARDRA), genomovar-specific PCR tests and RFLP analyses based on polymorphisms in the recA gene whole-cell protein electrophoresis. ARDRA analysis allowed us to distinguish between all B. cepacia genomovars except B. cepacia genomovar I, B. cepacia genomovar III and Burkholderia ambifaria (genomovar VII). The latter genomovars were differentiated by means of recA PCR tests and RFLP analyses. Among the rhizospheric isolates of B. cepacia, we found only B. cepacia genomovar I, B. cepacia genomovar III, Burkholderia vietnamiensis (genomovar V) and B. ambifaria. B. cepacia genomovars I and III and B. ambifaria were recovered from all three fields, whereas B. vietnamiensis was detected only in the population isolated from the field located in central Italy. Among strains isolated from northern and southern Italy, the most abundant genomovars were B. ambifaria and B. cepacia genomovar III respectively; in contrast, the population isolated in central Italy showed an even distribution of strains among genomovars. These results indicate that it is not possible to differentiate clinical and environmental strains, or pathogenic and non-pathogenic strains, of the B. cepacia complex simply on the basis of genomovar status, and that the environment may serve as a reservoir for B. cepacia genomovar III infections in vulnerable humans. 相似文献

The Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) is comprised of at least 10 closely related species of Gram-negative proteobacteria that are associated with
infections in certain groups of immunocompromised individuals, particularly those with cystic fibrosis. Infections in humans
tend to occur in the lungs, which present an iron-restricted environment to a prospective pathogen, and accordingly members
of the Bcc appear to possess efficient mechanisms for iron capture. These bacteria specify up to four different types of siderophore
(ornibactin, pyochelin, cepabactin and cepaciachelin) that employ the full repertoire of iron-binding groups present in most
naturally occurring siderophores. Members of the Bcc are also capable of utilising some exogenous siderophores that they are
not able to synthesise. In addition to siderophore-mediated mechanisms of iron uptake, the Bcc possess mechanisms for acquiring
iron from haem and from ferritin. The Bcc therefore appear to be well-equipped for life in an iron-poor environment.

Using probes constructed from Ralstonia solanacearum and Burkholderia pseudomallei, putative type III secretion (TTS) genes were identified in Burkholderia cepacia J2315 (genomovar III). A cosmid clone containing DNA with homology to five TTS genes was sub-cloned and regions were sequenced in order to design oligonucleotides for polymerase chain reaction assays. These indicated that two putative TTS genes (bcscQ and bcscV) were present in all members of the B. cepacia complex with the exception of strains from genomovar I. Southern blot assays confirmed this observation, suggesting that the lack of a TTS gene cluster may define a major difference between B. cepacia genomovar I and other members of the B. cepacia complex, including genomovar III. In contrast to TTS gene clusters in other bacteria, a putative gene homologous to the virB1 gene of Brucella suis was located directly downstream of bcscQR. 相似文献

Biofilm formation was studied in 54 strains of Burkholderia cepacia complex isolated in 7 Moscow hospitals. 80% of strains (biofilm groups I and II) had the capacity to biofilm formation and only 16.7% of strains (group III) were not capable to biofilm formation. Molecular genetic methods allowed to identify one of the epidemic markers (CBL, IS hybrid sequence, Burkholderia Cepacia Epidemic Strain Marker - BCESM) in 46.7, 23.3, and 33.3% of strains from group I, II, and III respectively. Gene cepR from the Quorum Sensing system was identified in three biofilm groups in nearly equal frequency (92.3, 96.2 and 100% for group I, II, and III respectively), whereas cepl gene was found more often in group I (76.9%) and II (65.4%). Strains from all three groups had protease and lipase activity and 13.3% of group I strains had chitinolytic activity. B. cepacia strains from group I produced hemolysin in 33.3% of cases, from group II--in 26.6%, and from group III--in 11.1% of cases. The majority of Moscow hospital strains of B. cepacia complex were identified as B. cenocepacia (genomovar III, group A). RAPD-PCR method enabled to differentiate isolated strains into several genotypic variants. 13.3% of strains from group I were susceptible to imipenem/ciprofloxacin, as well as 33.3% of isolates from group II and 44.4% of isolates from group III. 相似文献

Binding properties of pyochelin and structurally related molecules to FptA of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Mislin GL Hoegy F Cobessi D Poole K Rognan D Schalk IJ 《Journal of molecular biology》2006,357(5):1437-1448
Pyochelin (Pch) is a siderophore that is produced in iron-limited conditions, by both Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Burkholderia cepacia. This iron uptake pathway could therefore be a target for the development of new antibiotics. Pch is (4'R,2'R/S,4'R)-2'-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3'-methyl-4',5',2',3',4',5'-hexahydro-[4',2']bithiazolyl-4'-carboxylic acid, and has three chiral centres located at positions C4', C2' and C4'. In P.aeruginosa, this siderophore chelates iron in the extracellular medium and transports it into the cells via a specific outer membrane transporter FptA. Docking experiments using the X-ray structure of FptA-Pch-Fe showed that iron-loaded or unloaded Pch diastereoisomers could bind to FptA. This was confirmed by in vivo binding assays. These binding properties and the iron uptake ability were not affected by removal of the C4' chiral centre. After removal of both the C4' and C2' chiral centres, the molecule still bound to FptA but was unable to transport iron. The overall binding mode of this iron-complexed analogue was inverted. These findings describe the first antagonist of the Pch/FptA iron uptake pathway. Pch also complexes with iron in conjunction with other bidentate ligands such as cepabactin (Cep) or ethylene glycol. Docking experiments showed that such complexes bind to FptA via the Pch molecule. The mixed Pch-Fe-Cep complex was also recognized by FptA, having an affinity intermediate between that for Pch(2)-Fe and Cep(3)-Fe. Finally, the iron uptake properties of the different Pch-related molecules suggested a mechanism for FptA-Pch-Fe complex formation similar to that of the FpvA/Pvd uptake system. All these findings improve our understanding of specificity of the interaction between FptA and its siderophore. 相似文献

Complex formation of 5-coordinated iron(III) heme containing thiolate anion (p-nitrothiophenol) with imidazole (1-methylimidazole) showed very interesting features depending on the nature of the solvent and the ratio of the ligand to heme. The complexes formed under different conditions were not only low spin iron(III) complexes with a thiolate anion and an imidazole or with two imidazoles, but also reduced (iron(II] complexes with a thiolate and an imidazole or with two imidazoles. Absorption, magnetic circular dichroism, and 1H NMR spectroscopies could identify the complex formed when they were used concurrently. The dependence of polarity of the solvents used on the resultant chemical species was ascribed to the stability of Fe(III) or Fe(II) complex in the different solvents. The iron(III) complex with a thiolate anion and an imidazole was found to be reduced automatically to the iron(II) complex with a thiolate and an imidazole which exchanged ligand to the iron(II) bisimidazoles in the presence of excess imidazole. This study showed that the ligands of heme are easily exchanged and that the heme iron(III) is automatically reduced in several conditions. Possible significance with respect to biological systems containing a sulfur ligand is discussed. 相似文献

A homozygous mutation in the complex III chaperone BCS1L causes GRACILE syndrome (intrauterine growth restriction, aminoaciduria, cholestasis, hepatic iron overload, lactacidosis). In control and patient fibroblasts we localized BCS1L in inner mitochondrial membranes. In patient liver, kidney, and heart BCS1L and Rieske protein levels, as well as the amount and activity of complex III, were decreased. Major histopathology was found in kidney and liver with cirrhosis and iron deposition, but of iron-related proteins only ferritin levels were high. In placenta from a GRACILE fetus, the ferrooxidases ceruloplasmin and hephaestin were upregulated suggesting association between iron overload and placental dysfunction. 相似文献

The Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) comprises a group of bacteria associated with opportunistic infections, especially in cystic fibrosis patients. B. cenocepacia J2315, of the transmissible ET12 lineage, contains a type III secretion (TTS) gene cluster implicated in pathogenicity. PCR and hybridisation assays indicate that the TTS gene cluster is present in all members of the BCC except B. cepacia (formerly genomovar I). The TTS gene clusters of B. cenocepacia J2315 and B. multivorans are similar in organisation but have variable levels of gene identity. Nucleotide sequence data obtained for the equivalent region of the B. cepacia genome indicate the absence of TTS structural genes due to a rearrangement likely to involve more than one step. 相似文献

Sensitivity of the Burkholderia cepacia complex and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to transducing bacteriophages 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Burkholderia cepacia is now recognised as a life-threatening pathogen among several groups of immunocompromised patients. In this context, the proposed large-scale use of these bacteria in agriculture has increased the need for a better understanding of the genetics of the species forming the B. cepacia complex. Until now, little information has been available on the bacteriophages of the B. cepacia complex. Transducing phages, named NS1 and NS2, were derived from the lysogenic B. cepacia strains ATCC 29424 and ATCC 17616. The frequency of transduction per phage particle ranged from 1.0x10(-8) to 7.0x10(-6) depending on the phage and recipient strain used. The host range of NS1 and NS2 differed but in each case included environmental and clinical isolates, and strains belonging to several species and genomovars of the B. cepacia complex. The host range of both phages also included Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Some B. cepacia complex isolates were sensitive to the well-characterised P. aeruginosa transducing phages, B3, F116L and G101. The lytic activity of NS1 and NS2 was inhibited by B. cepacia lipopolysaccharide suggesting that this moiety is a binding site for both phages. The molecular size of the NS1 and NS2 genomes was approximately 48 kb. 相似文献

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Phenotypic and genetic methods of identification and differentiation of 25 strains of the B. cepacia complex. RESULTS: Polyphasic taxonomic approach utilizing multiple diagnostic tests was used for accurate identification of Burkholderia species. Algorithm for identification of microorganisms from the B. cepacia complex was developed. CONCLUSION: Combined use of phenotypic and molecular genetic tests, such as recA gene PCR, is recommended for differentiation of the B. cepacia complex genomovars. 相似文献

Despite considerable interest in studying Burkholderia cepacia complex in the environment, we still do not have efficient methods to detect, isolate, and screen large numbers of B. cepacia isolates. To better describe the ecology and diversity of B. cepacia complex, a colony hybridization assay was developed to detect specifically all species of the complex based on polymorphism of the variable V3 region of the 16S rRNA sequence. The sensitivity of the assay was dramatically enhanced by using a probe consisting of three repeats of a B. cepacia complex-specific probe, each separated by a phosphoramidite spacer. In addition, a duplex PCR targeting B. cepacia complex-specific recA and 16S rRNA sequences was developed to enable a fast and reliable diagnostic assay for members of the complex. When applied to maize rhizosphere samples, colony hybridization results were in good agreement with those of most-probable-number duplex PCR, both indicating a >100-fold fluctuation of abundance between individual plants. Using restriction analysis of recA for a total of 285 confirmed isolates of the B. cepacia complex, up to seven B. cepacia complex species were identified; however, their diversity and abundance were not evenly distributed among individual plants, and several allelic variants were commonly found from the same rhizosphere sample. These results indicate that not only complex communities of B. cepacia complex species and closely related strains of the same species may coexist at high population levels but also species composition and abundance may dramatically vary between individual plants. 相似文献

A new tetra-catecholamide compound N5,N6-thiodipropanoyl-bis[N1,N10-bis(2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl-spermidi ne)] (H8L) has been synthesised as an iron chelator of Fe (III). Cyclic voltammogram of the iron complex H2LFe run under an argon atmosphere shows a quasi-reversible redox process with E0 = -430 mV vs. SCE in CH3OH/H20 (60/40). This value approaches the range of biological reductants and consequently the complex may mimic the release of iron from enterobactin to the agents which are directly involved in cell metabolism. 相似文献

A strong interaction between iron(III) and calf thymus DNA at pH 7.4 was demonstrated in the present study by separation of the complex by column chromatography and by the slow kinetics of iron(III) removal from DNA by disodium-1,2-dihydroxybenzene-3,5-disulfonate (Tiron). An equilibrium constant of 2.1 x 10(14) was calculated by measurements of bound iron(III) by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy and assuming a one iron to two nucleotide stoichiometry. Graphic analysis of the interaction however, indicated that DNA has two binding sites for iron(III) characterized by a stoichiometry of one iron to 12 nucleotides and one iron to 2 nucleotides, and association constants of 4.8 x 10(12) and 2.3 x 10(11), respectively. The DNA-iron(III) complex isolated by column chromatography was shown to catalyze the oxidation of both 2-phenylethylhydrazine and methylhydrazine by spin-trapping experiments with alpha-(4-pyridyl 1-oxide)-N-tert-butylnitrone (POBN). By contrast, oxidation of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine was not catalyzed. Catalysis of 2-phenylethylhydrazine oxidation was confirmed by oxygen consumption studies. The results suggest that iron chelated to DNA may be significant in DNA damage induced by oxidizable chemicals. 相似文献

This study examined the photo-induced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by the carcinogenic iron(III)-NTA complex. Iron(III)-NTA complex (1:1) has three conformations (type (a) in acidic conditions of pH 1-6, type (n) in neutral conditions of pH 3-9, and type (b) in basic conditions of pH 7-10) with two pK(a) values (pK(a1) approximately 4, pK(a2) approximately 8). The iron(III)-NTA complex was reduced to iron(II) under cool-white fluorescent light without the presence of any reducing agent, and the reduction rates of the three conformations of iron(III)-NTA were in the order type (a)>type (n)>type (b) as reported previously (Akai K. et al., Free Radic. Res. 38, 951-962, 2004). ROS generation was investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy with a spin-trapping technique. Apparent EPR signals attributed to PBN/*(13)CH(3) and PBN/*OCH(3) spin adducts were observed after incubation of the iron(III)-NTA complex was mixed with alpha-phenyl-tert-butylnitrone (PBN) and (13)C-DMSO in an aerobic condition. The addition of catalase effectively attenuated the PBN adducts, but superoxide dismutase enhanced them. Taken together, these results indicate that the iron(III)-NTA complex is spontaneously reduced to the iron(II)-NTA complex by light under acidic to neutral pH, and in turn transfers an electron to molecular oxygen to form ROS. 相似文献

Modern data, related with the identification and typing of the complex B. cepacia bacteria, are analyzed in the article by using the poly-phase taxonomic approach. An optimal scheme for identifying and typing the complex B. cepacia bacteria, involving the microbiological and molecular-biological methods of laboratory diagnostics, is presented. The key and assumed factors of pathogenicity of the discussed bacteria are described. The possible phylogenetic relations of the complex B. cepacia bacteria with phytopathgens as well as with pathogenic bacteria of species Burkholderia, Pseudomonas, Escherichia, B. mallei, B. pdeudomallei, P. seruginosa and E. coli are described. A possible role of genome alterations and mutations in the genome of the complex B. cepacia bacteria (with the latter genome having unusual properties, i.e. a big size, and a considerable quantity of insertion sequences) in creating the conditions for the "pulsing" evolution "jerks", i.e. for a rapid change-over from saprophytism in the soil to a pathogenic causative agent of a viral-and-bacteriological infection. Such mechanism can be regarded as a rapid and radical adaptation of a microorganism under the conditions of changing ecological niches. 相似文献

Burkholderia cepacia complex strains are genetically related but phenotypically diverse organisms that are important opportunistic pathogens in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF,) as well as pathogens of onion and banana, colonizers of the rhizospheres of many plant species, and common inhabitants of bulk soil. Genotypic identification and pathogenicity characterization were performed on B. cepacia complex isolates from the rhizosphere of onion and organic soils in Michigan. A total of 3,798 putative B. cepacia complex isolates were recovered on Pseudomonas cepacia azelaic acid tryptamine and trypan blue tetracycline semiselective media during the 2004 growing season from six commercial onion fields located in two counties in Michigan. Putative B. cepacia complex isolates were identified by hybridization to a 16S rRNA gene probe, followed by duplex PCR using primers targeted to the 16S rRNA gene and recA sequences and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the recA sequence. A total of 1,290 isolates, 980 rhizosphere and 310 soil isolates, were assigned to the species B. cepacia (160), B. cenocepacia (480), B. ambifaria (623), and B. pyrrocinia (27). The majority of isolates identified as B. cepacia (85%), B. cenocepacia (90%), and B. ambifaria (76%) were pathogenic in a detached onion bulb scale assay and caused symptoms of water soaking, maceration, and/or necrosis. A phylogenetic analysis of recA sequences from representative B. cepacia complex type and panel strains, along with isolates collected in this study, revealed that the B. cenocepacia isolates associated with onion grouped within the III-B lineage and that some strains were closely related to strain AU1054, which was isolated from a CF patient. This study revealed that multiple B. cepacia complex species colonize the onion rhizosphere and have the potential to cause sour skin rot disease of onion. In addition, the onion rhizosphere is a natural habitat and a potential environmental source of B. cenocepacia. 相似文献

In high-affinity iron uptake in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Fe(II) is oxidized to Fe(III) by the multicopper oxidase, Fet3p, and the Fe(III) produced is transported into the cell via the iron permease, Ftr1p. These two proteins are likely part of a heterodimeric or higher order complex in the yeast plasma membrane. We provide kinetic evidence that the Fet3p-produced Fe(III) is trafficked to Ftr1p for permeation by a classic metabolite channeling mechanism. We examine the (59)Fe uptake kinetics for a number of complexes containing mutant forms of both Fet3p and Ftr1p and demonstrate that a residue in one protein interacts with one in the other protein along the iron trafficking pathway as would be expected in a channeling process. We show that, as a result of some of these mutations, iron trafficking becomes sensitive to an added Fe(III) chelator that inhibits uptake in a strictly competitive manner. This inhibition is not strongly dependent on the chelator strength, however, suggesting that Fe(III) dissociation from the iron uptake complex, if it occurs, is kinetically slow relative to iron permeation. Metabolite channeling is a common feature of multifunctional enzymes. We constructed the analogous ferroxidase, permease chimera and demonstrate that it supports iron uptake with a kinetic pattern consistent with a channeling mechanism. By analogy to the Fe(III) trafficking that leads to the mineralization of the ferritin core, we propose that ferric iron channeling is a conserved feature of iron homeostasis in aerobic organisms. 相似文献
