Sialic acid recognition by Vibrio cholerae neuraminidase.
Vibrio cholerae neuraminidase (VCNA) plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of cholera by removing sialic acid from higher order gangliosides to unmask GM1, the receptor for cholera toxin. We previously showed that the structure of VCNA is composed of a central beta-propeller catalytic domain flanked by two lectin-like domains; however the nature of the carbohydrates recognized by these l...
متن کاملComposition of the DNA-uptake complex of Vibrio cholerae
Natural competence for transformation is a developmental program that allows certain bacteria to take up free extracellular DNA from the environment and integrate this DNA into their genome. Thereby, natural transformation acts as mode of horizontal gene transfer and impacts bacterial evolution. The number of genes induced upon competence induction varies significantly between organisms. Howeve...
متن کاملDNA-uptake machinery of naturally competent Vibrio cholerae.
Natural competence for transformation is a mode of horizontal gene transfer that is commonly used by bacteria to take up DNA from their environment. As part of this developmental program, so-called competence genes, which encode the components of a DNA-uptake machinery, are expressed. Several models have been proposed for the DNA-uptake complexes of competent bacteria, and most include a type I...
متن کاملChemotaxis in Vibrio cholerae.
The ability of motile bacteria to swim toward or away from specific environmental stimuli, such as nutrients, oxygen, or light provides cells with a survival advantage, especially under nutrient-limiting conditions. This behavior, called chemotaxis, is mediated by the bacteria changing direction by briefly reversing the direction of rotation of the flagellar motors. A sophisticated signal trans...
متن کاملVibrio cholerae in New Zealand
Toxigenic strains of Vibrio cholerae, although not endemic in New Zealand, are isolated occasionally from recent overseas travellers. Isolates should be confirmed biochemically and serologically and the presence of cholera toxin genes established by a reference laboratory, as non-toxigenic strains are found here in the summer months. Serotypes O1 and O139 are the causative agents of epidemic ch...
