Molecular studies of Pseudomonas exotoxin A gene.
A 2.7-kilobase DNA fragment carrying the entire exotoxin A (ETA) structural gene was divided into three nonoverlapping probes. Two probes covering the ETA structural gene were used in colony hybridization experiments to determine whether sequences homologous to the ETA gene could be detected in genera other than Pseudomonas or in Pseudomonas species other than Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The majori...
متن کاملCD4-Pseudomonas Exotoxin Conjugates Delay
The CD4 molecule is a high affinity receptor for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) envelope glycoprotein (gpl60 or gpl20). This glycoprotein is expressed on the surface membrane of cells infected with HIV. It has, therefore, been suggested that a soluble form ofCD4 might be used as a targeting agent to deliver toxins selectively to cells infected with HIV. We demonstrate that CD4-Pseudomon...
متن کاملCoordinate regulation of siderophore and exotoxin A production: molecular cloning and sequencing of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa fur gene.
A 5.9-kb DNA fragment was cloned from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA103 by its ability to functionally complement a fur mutation in Escherichia coli. A fur null mutant E. coli strain that contains multiple copies of the 5.9-kb DNA fragment produces a 15-kDa protein which cross-reacts with a polyclonal anti-E. coli Fur serum. Sequencing of a subclone of the 5.9-kb DNA fragment identified an open read...
متن کاملA nontoxic Pseudomonas exotoxin A induces active immunity and passive protective antibody against Pseudomonas exotoxin A intoxication.
Pseudomonas exotoxin A (PE) is one of the most potent cytotoxic agents produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In this study, we examined the possibility of using PE with a deletion of 38 carboxyl-terminal amino acid residues, designated PE(Delta576-613), for active immunization against PE-mediated disease. We first examined the toxic effects of PE and PE(Delta576-613) on 5- and 9-week-old ICR mice...
متن کاملCloning of a gene involved in regulation of exotoxin A expression in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
We have cloned a gene from Pseudomonas aeruginosa that stimulates the expression of exotoxin A. A recombinant library of genomic DNA from strain PA103 constructed with a broad-host-range plasmid vector containing chromosomal insert fragments generated by Sau3A was used to transform the hypotoxigenic mutant strain PA103-29. A recombinant plasmid, pFHK6, was isolated from a PA103-29 transformant ...
