Mapping the Ligand-Binding Region of Borrelia hermsii Fibronectin-Binding Protein
Many pathogenic microorganisms express fibronectin-binding molecules that facilitate their adherence to the extracellular matrix and/or entry into mammalian cells. We have previously described a Borrelia recurrentis gene, cihC that encodes a 40-kDa surface receptor for both, fibronectin and the complement inhibitors C4bp and C1-Inh. We now provide evidence for the expression of a group of highl...
متن کاملFibronectin-binding protein of Borrelia hermsii expressed in the blood of mice with relapsing fever.
To identify and characterize surface proteins expressed by the relapsing fever (RF) agent Borrelia hermsii in the blood of infected mice, we used a cell-free filtrate of their blood to immunize congenic naive mice. The resultant antiserum was used for Western blotting of cell lysates, and gel slices corresponding to reactive bands were subjected to liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry...
متن کاملBiochemical characterization of PE_PGRS61 family protein of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv reveals the binding ability to fibronectin
Objective(s): The periodic binding of protein expressed by Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv with the host cell receptor molecules i.e. fibronectin (Fn) is gaining significance because of its adhesive properties. The genome sequencing of M. tuberculosis H37Rv revealed that the proline-glutamic (PE) proteins contain polymorphic GC-rich repetitive sequences (PGRS) which have clinical importance i...
متن کاملProtein F, a fibronectin-binding protein of Streptococcus pyogenes, also binds human fibrinogen: isolation of the protein and mapping of the binding region.
During screening of a gene library of Streptococcus pyogenes type M15 for fibrinogen-binding material, a protein of approximately 100 kDa, encoded outside the vir region, was found. DNA sequencing revealed this component to be identical to protein F, a fibronectin-binding protein. Isolation of the recombinant protein, termed F15, was performed by the use of fibrinogen affinity chromatography. T...
متن کاملمطالعه شیمی فیزیکی ساختمان لیزوزیم به روش ligand binding
پروتئینها فراوان تری مولکولهای آلی در بدن جانداران می باشند. آنزیم ها یکی از مهمترین نوع پروتئینهای کروی می باشند که بعضی از فعالیتهای حیات بدانها وابسته است . لیزوزیم اولین آنزیم شناخته شده است . این آنزیم دارای 129 واحد اسید آمینه در زنجیر پلی پپتیدی و چهار پیوند سیستئین درون زنجیری می باشد. لیزوزیم به دلیل دارا بودن اسید آمینه های باردار توان پذیرش بعضی از لیگاندها را دارا می باشد. در این پا...
