Interplay between the QseC and QseE bacterial adrenergic sensor kinases in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium pathogenesis.
The bacterial adrenergic sensor kinases QseC and QseE respond to epinephrine and/or norepinephrine to initiate a complex phosphorelay regulatory cascade that modulates virulence gene expression in several pathogens. We have previously shown that QseC activates virulence gene expression in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. Here we report the role of QseE in S. Typhimurium pathogenesis as ...
متن کاملNorepinephrine augments Salmonella enterica-induced enteritis in a manner associated with increased net replication but independent of the putative adrenergic sensor kinases QseC and QseE.
Stress has long been correlated with susceptibility to microbial infection. One explanation for this phenomenon is the ability of pathogens to sense and respond to host stress-related catecholamines, such as norepinephrine (NE). In Gram-negative enteric pathogens, it has been proposed that NE may facilitate growth by mediating iron supply, or it may alter gene expression by activating adrenergi...
متن کاملThe role of the QseC quorum-sensing sensor kinase in colonization and norepinephrine-enhanced motility of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium.
Transcriptional analysis of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) in the presence of the mammalian hormone norepinephrine revealed up-regulation of genes in the flagellar and chemotaxis regulon. Motility assays confirmed enhanced motility of wild-type S. Typhimurium in the presence of norepinephrine that could be blocked by the alpha-adrenergic antagonist, phentolamine. Furth...
متن کاملQseC mediates Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium virulence in vitro and in vivo.
The autoinducer-3 (AI-3)/epinephrine (Epi)/norepinephrine (NE) interkingdom signaling system mediates chemical communication between bacteria and their mammalian hosts. The three signals are sensed by the QseC histidine kinase (HK) sensor. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is a pathogen that uses HKs to sense its environment and regulate virulence. Salmonella serovar Typhimurium invades e...
متن کاملMultilocus Sequence Typing of the Clinical Isolates of Salmonella Enterica Serovar Typhimurium in Tehran Hospitals
Background: Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is one of the most important serovars of Salmonella enterica and is associated with human salmonellosis worldwide. Many epidemiological studies have focused on the characteristics of Salmonella Typhimurium in many countries as well as in Asia. This study was conducted to investigate the genetic characteristics of Salmonella Typhimurium using m...
