Bacillus anthracis produces membrane-derived vesicles containing biologically active toxins.
Extracellular vesicle production is a ubiquitous process in Gram-negative bacteria, but little is known about such process in Gram-positive bacteria. We report the isolation of extracellular vesicles from the supernatants of Bacillus anthracis, a Gram-positive bacillus that is a powerful agent for biological warfare. B. anthracis vesicles formed at the outer layer of the bacterial cell had doub...
متن کاملMembrane proteases and tetraspanins.
TEMs (tetraspanin-enriched microdomains) are specialized platforms in the plasma membrane that include adhesion receptors and enzymes. Insertion into TEMs dictates the local concentration of these molecules, regulates their internalization rate, their interaction and cross-talk with other receptors at the plasma membrane and provides links with certain signalling pathways. We focus on the assoc...
متن کاملPreferential Packing of Acidic Glycosidases and Proteases into Bacteroides Outer Membrane Vesicles
Outer membrane vesicles (OMV) are spherical membranous structures released from the outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria. OMV have been proposed to play several different roles during both pathogenesis and symbiosis. Despite the fact that OMV were described several decades ago, their biogenesis is a poorly characterized process. Whether OMV are produced by an active mechanism or by pas...
متن کاملCleavage of L1 in exosomes and apoptotic membrane vesicles released from ovarian carcinoma cells.
PURPOSE The L1 adhesion molecule (CD171) is overexpressed in human ovarian and endometrial carcinomas and is associated with bad prognosis. Although expressed as a transmembrane molecule, L1 is released from carcinoma cells in a soluble form. Soluble L1 is present in serum and ascites of ovarian carcinoma patients. We investigated the mode of L1 cleavage and the function of soluble L1. EXPERI...
متن کاملPlasma Membrane Repair Is Regulated Extracellularly by Proteases Released from Lysosomes
Eukaryotic cells rapidly repair wounds on their plasma membrane. Resealing is Ca(2+)-dependent, and involves exocytosis of lysosomes followed by massive endocytosis. Extracellular activity of the lysosomal enzyme acid sphingomyelinase was previously shown to promote endocytosis and wound removal. However, whether lysosomal proteases released during cell injury participate in resealing is unknow...
