Dissecting the Machinery That Introduces Disulfide Bonds in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
UNLABELLED Disulfide bond formation is required for the folding of many bacterial virulence factors. However, whereas the Escherichia coli disulfide bond-forming system is well characterized, not much is known on the pathways that oxidatively fold proteins in pathogenic bacteria. Here, we report the detailed unraveling of the pathway that introduces disulfide bonds in the periplasm of the human...
متن کاملPulse Generation in the Quorum Machinery of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium that is responsible for a wide range of infections in humans. Colonies employ quorum sensing (QS) to coordinate gene expression, including for virulence factors, swarming motility and complex social traits. The QS signalling system of P. aeruginosa is known to involve multiple control components, notably the las, rhl and pqs systems. In this p...
متن کاملThe bonds that tie: catalyzed disulfide bond formation.
The pioneering studies of Anfinsen on ribonuclease have guided much of the research in the field of protein folding (Anfinsen et al., 1961). Anfinsen showed that, in vitro, reduced and denatured ribonuclease could refold into active enzyme with the formation of the appropriate disulfide bonds. These findings demonstrated that there was sufficient information in the primary amino acid sequence o...
متن کاملA Reagent for Reduction of Disulfide Bonds in Proteins That Reduces Disulfide Bonds Faster Than Does Dithiothreitol
We have synthesized a new reagent-N,N'-dimethyl-N,.,V.bis(mercaptoacetyl)hydrazine(DMH)-for the reduction of disulfide bonds in proieins. DMH reduce.s disulfide bonds ? times faster than does dithiothreitol (DTT) in water at pH ?. DMH reduces mixed disulfides of cvsteine proteases (papain and ficin) especially rapdily i30 ti-.r faster than DTT). DMH (eo = -0.300 V) reduces noncl'clic disulfides...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Novel Anti-Adhesive Vaccine Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa Targeting the C-terminal Disulfide Loop of the Pilin Protein
The type IV pili (T4P) is a major virulence factor of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) that is associated with primary adhesion, biofilm formation and twitching motility. This study focuses on the introduction of a novel biologically active subunit vaccine derived from the disulfide loop (DSL) of P. aeruginosa pilin. We investigated the expression of the novel PilA in-frame with pET26a ve...
