Characterization of outer membrane protein OmpU of Vibrio cholerae O1.
The outer membrane protein OmpU of Vibrio cholerae O1 strain 86B3 was characterized with reference to colonization of the intestine by the organism. The purified OmpU exhibited a pI of 3.6. Upon sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, it migrated to 38, 32, and 110 kDa when the sample was heated at 100 degrees C for 2 min, 50 degrees C for 15 min, and room temperature for 30 ...
متن کاملCrystal structure of the outer membrane protein OmpU from Vibrio cholerae at 2.2 Å resolution
Vibrio cholerae causes a severe disease that kills thousands of people annually. The outer membrane protein OmpU is the most abundant outer membrane protein in V. cholerae, and has been identified as an important virulence factor that is involved in host-cell interaction and recognition, as well as being critical for the survival of the pathogenic V. cholerae in the host body and in harsh envir...
متن کاملCharacterization of the role of the ToxR-modulated outer membrane porins OmpU and OmpT in Vibrio cholerae virulence.
ToxR, the transmembrane regulatory protein required for expression of virulence factors in the human diarrheal pathogen Vibrio cholerae, directly activates and represses the transcription of two outer membrane porins, OmpU and OmpT, respectively. In an attempt to dissect the role of the OmpU and OmpT porins in viability and virulence factor expression, in-frame chromosomal deletions were constr...
متن کاملImmune response in Lutjanus erythropterus induced by the major outer membrane protein (OmpU) of Vibrio alginolyticus.
The outer membrane proteins (OMPs) of the marine aquatic animal pathogen Vibrio alginolyticus play an important role in the virulence of the bacterium and are potential candidates for vaccine development. In this study, the major 35.6 kDa OMP of V. alginolyticus was isolated by gel excision from the crude OMP fraction from V. alginolyticus. The sequence of the first 27 amino acid residues from ...
متن کاملMajor role of the outer-membrane protein OmpU in the Vibrio splendidus/ Crassostrea gigas interaction
Vibrio splendidus LGP32 is an oyster pathogen associated with the summer mortality syndrome that dramatically affects the production of Crassostrea gigas oysters worldwide (Gay et al., 2004; Saulnier et al., 2010). We have recently shown that the outer membrane protein OmpU is required for the virulence of V. splendidus in oysters (Duperthuy et al., 2010). In order to better understand the role...
