Moraxella catarrhalis synthesizes an autotransporter that is an acid phosphatase.
Moraxella catarrhalis O35E was shown to synthesize a 105-kDa protein that has similarity to both acid phosphatases and autotransporters. The N-terminal portion of the M. catarrhalis acid phosphatase A (MapA) was most similar (the BLAST probability score was 10(-10)) to bacterial class A nonspecific acid phosphatases. The central region of the MapA protein had similarity to passenger domains of ...
متن کاملMoraxella catarrhalis expresses an unusual Hfq protein.
The Hfq protein is recognized as a global regulatory molecule that facilitates certain RNA-RNA interactions in bacteria. BLAST analysis identified a 630-nucleotide open reading frame in the genome of Moraxella catarrhalis ATCC 43617 that was highly conserved among M. catarrhalis strains and which encoded a predicted protein with significant homology to the Hfq protein of Escherichia coli. This ...
متن کاملAn Unusual Carbohydrate Conformation is Evident in Moraxella catarrhalis Oligosaccharides.
Oligosaccharide structures derived from the lipooligosaccharide of M. catarrhalis show that the highly branched glucose-rich inner core of the oligosaccharide has an altered conformation compared to the most truncated tetra-glucose-Kdo lgt1/4Δ oligosaccharide structure. Addition of one residue each to the (1-4) and (1-6) chains to give the lgt2Δ oligosaccharide is the minimum requirement for th...
متن کاملMoraxella Catarrhalis peritonitis
BACKGROUND Peritonitis continues to be a major complication of peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients. Recent advances in connectology and better patient training have decreased the incidence of peritonitis in the last two decades. Peritonitis in PD patients is usually due to gram positive and less often due to gram negative organisms. Herein we report a case of peritonitis due to Moraxell...
متن کاملMoraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis bacteremia in an immunocompetent children
Moraxella catarrhalis is an aerobic, Gram-negative diplococcus that commonly inhabits the upper respiratory tract (1). M. catarrhalis is now considered as an important cause of respiratory tract infections in children and adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (2, 3, 4). M. catarrhalis is now considered a common cause of otitis media in children and sinusitis in both children ...
