Pyruvate-associated acid resistance in bacteria.
Glucose confers acid resistance on exponentially growing bacteria by repressing formation of the cyclic AMP (cAMP)-cAMP receptor protein (CRP) complex and consequently activating acid resistance genes. Therefore, in a glucose-rich growth environment, bacteria are capable of resisting acidic stresses due to low levels of cAMP-CRP. Here we reveal a second mechanism for glucose-conferred acid resi...
متن کاملKorhonen Antibiotic Resistance of Lactic Acid Bacteria
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a heterogeneous group of bacteria found widely in nature . They colonize the gastrointestinal and urogenital tracts of humans and animals, and are present in foods such as dairy products, fermented meats, fruits and vegetables. LAB are also intentionally added to several probiotic products because of their potential health benefits. Many LAB species are generally ...
متن کاملSubstrate selectivity in glutamate-dependent acid resistance in enteric bacteria.
The bacterial antiporter GadC plays a central role in the glutamate (Glu)-dependent acid resistance system, which protects enteric bacteria against the extreme acidity of the human stomach. Upon acid shock, GadC imports Glu into the cytoplasm, where Glu decarboxylases consume a cytoplasmic proton, which ends up as a "virtual" proton in the decarboxylated product γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and i...
متن کاملSubstrate selectivity in arginine-dependent acid resistance in enteric bacteria.
To successfully colonize the human gut, enteric bacteria must activate acid resistance systems to survive the extreme acidity (pH 1.5-3.5) of the stomach. The antiporter AdiC is the master orchestrator of the arginine-dependent system. Upon acid shock, it imports extracellular arginine (Arg) into the cytoplasm, providing the substrate for arginine decarboxylases, which consume a cellular proton...
متن کاملChaperone-dependent mechanisms for acid resistance in enteric bacteria.
The extremely acidic environment of the mammalian stomach not only serves to facilitate food digestion but also acts as a natural barrier against infections of food-borne pathogens. Many pathogenic bacteria, such as enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli, can breach this host defense and cause severe diseases. These pathogens have evolved multiple intricate strategies to overcome the bactericidal a...
