Construction and comparison of recombinant plasmids encoding type 1 fimbriae of members of the family Enterobacteriaceae.
The genes encoding type 1 fimbriae of Salmonella typhimurium, Enterobacter cloacae, and Serratia marcescens were cloned in Escherichia coli. All transformants possessing recombinant plasmids were shown to be fimbriate and demonstrated mannose-sensitive hemagglutinating activity. A comparison of the physical maps of these plasmids revealed little similarity among them, although plasmids encoding...
متن کاملDifferent Immunity Elicited by Recombinant H5N1 Hemagglutinin Proteins Containing Pauci-Mannose, High-Mannose, or Complex Type N-Glycans
Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 viruses can result in poultry and occasionally in human mortality. A safe and effective H5N1 vaccine is urgently needed to reduce the pandemic potential. Hemagglutinin (HA), a major envelope protein accounting for approximately 80% of spikes in influenza virus, is often used as a major antigen for subunit vaccine development. In this study, we conducted a ...
متن کاملMolecular Study of Phase Variation of Type 1 Fimbriae in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli O44 Serotypes during Touching with Solid Surfaces
Background & Aims: Type 1 fimbriae is the most common adhesion factor in urine tract infection. In this Study, presence of virulence genes in isolated strains of uropathogenic E.Coli, O serotyping and molecular detection of phase variation of type 1 fimbriae were assessed during solid surfaces exposure. Methods: Isolated E.coli from urine samples of patients were serotyped by using serologic me...
متن کاملGenetic and transcriptional analyses of the Vibrio cholerae mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin type 4 pilus gene locus.
The mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin (MSHA) of the Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor biotype is a member of the family of type 4 pili. Type 4 pili are found on the surface of a variety of gram-negative bacteria and have demonstrated importance as host colonization factors, bacteriophage receptors, and mediators of DNA transfer. The gene locus required for the assembly and secretion of the MSHA pilus has...
متن کاملCharacterization of type 1 and mannose-resistant fimbriae of Erwinia spp.
Type 1 fimbriae from Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora and mannose-resistant fimbriae from Erwinia rhapontici were purified and characterized. The type 1 fimbrillin had an apparent molecular weight of 16,500; that of the mannose-resistant fimbrillin was 18,000. The amino-terminal amino acid sequences of the two fimbrillins were related, but tryptic peptide maps showed significant differences...
