Cloning and expression of a type 1 fimbrial subunit of Actinomyces viscosus T14V.

The type 1 fimbriae of Actinomyces viscosus mediate the adherence of this organism to saliva-treated hydroxyapatite. The gene encoding a putative subunit of this fimbrial adhesin was cloned in Escherichia coli, and its product was examined. A. viscosus T14V chromosomal DNA was partially restricted with Sau3AI and cloned into E. coli JM109 by using the plasmid vector pUC13. Two clones, each cont...

Surface fibrils (fimbriae) of Actinomyces viscosus T14V.

Surface antigens of Actinomyces viscosus T14V were released from cell walls by digestion with lysozyme. These were separated by ion-exchange and gel filtration chromatography into fractions rich in carbohydrate or protein. The former contained a polysaccharide high in 6-deoxytalose, along with a peptide fragment from the cell wall. In the protein-rich fractions, material of high molecular weigh...

Stimulation of superoxide and lactoferrin release from polymorphonuclear leukocytes by the type 2 fimbrial lectin of Actinomyces viscosus T14V.

Polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN)-dependent destruction of Actinomyces viscosus T14V is initiated by the recognition of galactose-containing receptors on sialidase-treated PMNs by the lectin associated with the type 2 fimbriae of these bacteria. A. viscosus T14V also stimulates the respiratory burst in PMNs as well as the release of contents of the secondary granules, as determined by the prese...

Immunochemical and functional studies of Actinomyces viscosus T14V type 1 fimbriae with monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies directed against the fimbrial subunit.

Each of five monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) prepared against the type 1 fimbriae of Actinomyces viscosus T14V reacted with a 54 kDa cloned protein previously identified as a fimbrial subunit. This purified protein completely inhibited the reaction of a specific anti-type-1-fimbria rabbit antibody with A. viscosus whole cells. Maximum values for the number of antibody molecules bound per bacterial...

Isolation of a neuraminidase gene from Actinomyces viscosus T14V.

A genomic library of Actinomyces viscosus T14V DNA in lambda gt11 was screened for expression of neuraminidase activities. Four recombinant clones were detected that gave blue fluorescence upon incubation with a fluorogenic substrate, 2'-(4-methylumbelliferyl)-alpha-D-N-acetylneuraminic acid. Of these, two were identical, and all of the neuraminidase-positive clones shared a common 3.4-kbp DNA ...
