Adhesion of pathogenic Leptospira spp. to mammalian cells is mediated by their adhesins interacting with host cell receptors. In a previous study, we have identified two potential fibronectin (Fn) binding sites in central variable region (LigBCen) and C-terminal variable region (LigBCtv) of LigB, an adhesin of pathogenic Leptospira spp. In this study, we have further localized the Fn-binding site on LigBCen and found a domain of LigB (LigBCen2) (amino acids 1014-1165) strongly bound to Fn. LigBCen2 bound to a 70kDa domain of Fn including N-terminal domain (NTD) and gelatin binding domain (GBD), but with a higher binding affinity to NTD (K(d)=272nM) than to GBD (K(d)=1200nM). Except Fn, LigBCen2 also bound laminin and fibrinogen. LigBCen2 could bind MDCK cells, and blocked the binding of Leptospira on MDCK cells by 45%. These results suggest that LigBCen2 contributed to high affinity binding on NTD or GBD of Fn, laminin, and fibrinogen and mediated Leptospira binding on host cells. 相似文献

Infection by pathogenic strains of Leptospira hinges on the pathogen’s ability to adhere to host cells via extracellular matrix such as fibronectin (Fn). Previously, the immunoglobulin-like domains of Leptospira Lig proteins were recognized as adhesins binding to N-terminal domain (NTD) and gelatin binding domain (GBD) of Fn. In this study, we identified another Fn-binding motif on the C-terminus of the Leptospira adhesin LigB (LigBCtv), residues 1708-1712 containing sequence LIPAD with a β-strand and nascent helical structure. This motif binds to 15th type III modules (15F3) (KD = 10.70 μM), and association (kon = 600 M−1 s−1) and dissociation (koff = 0.0129 s−1) rate constants represents a slow binding kinetics in this interaction. Moreover, pretreatment of MDCK cells with LigB1706-1716 blocked the binding of Leptospira by 39%, demonstrating a significant role of LigB1706-1716 in cellular adhesion. These data indicate that the LIPAD residues (LigB1708-1712) of the Leptospira interrogans LigB protein bind 15F3 of Fn at a novel binding site, and this interaction contributes to adhesion to host cells. 相似文献
