Fibrinogen-binding proteins of Gram-positive bacteria.
Fibrinogen (Fg), the major clotting protein in blood plasma, plays key roles in blood coagulation and thrombosis. In addition, this 340 kD glycoprotein is a stress inducible protein; its synthesis is dramatically upregulated during inflammation or under exposure to stress such systemic infections. This regulation of Fg expression indicates that Fg also participates in the host defense system ag...
متن کاملSurface proteins of gram-positive bacteria and mechanisms of their targeting to the cell wall envelope.
The cell wall envelope of gram-positive bacteria is a macromolecular, exoskeletal organelle that is assembled and turned over at designated sites. The cell wall also functions as a surface organelle that allows gram-positive pathogens to interact with their environment, in particular the tissues of the infected host. All of these functions require that surface proteins and enzymes be properly t...
متن کاملEDITORIAL Accentuate the ( Gram ) positive
In the last two decades, Gram-positive bacteria have become the most common organisms associated with bacteremia and sepsis [1]. Moreover, clinically-significant resistance to each class of conventional antibiotics has been shown by at least one Gram-positive species, posing an additional public health challenge [2, 3]. In June 2009 in Stockholm, the 140th Nobel Symposium continued a traditiona...
متن کاملQnr-like pentapeptide repeat proteins in gram-positive bacteria.
OBJECTIVES To study the role of Qnr-like pentapeptide repeat proteins (PRPs) from several gram-positive species with quinolone resistance in vitro. METHODS A PCR-based strategy was used to clone and express genes coding for Qnr-like PRPs in Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridium perfringens, C. difficile, Bacillus cereus and B. subtilis in Escherichia...
متن کاملNovel surface display system for proteins on non-genetically modified gram-positive bacteria.
A novel display system is described that allows highly efficient immobilization of heterologous proteins on bacterial surfaces in applications for which the use of genetically modified bacteria is less desirable. This system is based on nonliving and non-genetically modified gram-positive bacterial cells, designated gram-positive enhancer matrix (GEM) particles, which are used as substrates to ...
