Regulation of the overlapping pic/set locus in Shigella flexneri and enteroaggregative Escherichia coli.
Most strains of Shigella flexneri 2a and enteroaggregative Escherichia coli carry a highly conserved chromosomal locus which encodes a 109-kDa secreted mucinase (called Pic) and, on the opposite strand in overlapping fashion, an oligomeric enterotoxin called ShET1, encoded by the setA and setB genes. Here, we characterize the genetic regulation of these overlapping genes. Our data suggest that ...
متن کاملCharacterization of pic, a secreted protease of Shigella flexneri and enteroaggregative Escherichia coli.
We have identified and characterized a secreted protein, designated Pic, which is encoded on the chromosomes of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) 042 and Shigella flexneri 2457T. The product of the pic gene is synthesized as a 146.5-kDa precursor molecule which is processed at the N and C termini during secretion, allowing the release of a mature protein (109.8 kDa) into the culture sup...
متن کاملRestriction in genetic crosses between Escherichia coli and Shigella flexneri.
Shigella flexneri restricts Escherichia coli deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and can modify phage DNA so that it is restricted in E. coli.
متن کاملVirulence of Shigella flexneri hybrids expressing Escherichia coli somatic antigens.
The genes controlling either Escherichia coli somatic antigen 8 or 25 were conjugally transferred to virulent Shigella flexneri 2a recipients to determine whether the aquisition of these antigens would affect the virulence of the resulting hybrid. A high proportion of such hybrids were found to be rough and hence were avirulent. Some smooth S. flexneri hybrids which replaced their native group ...
متن کاملEnteroaggregative Escherichia Coli (EAEC) in South of Iran
Introduction: The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence and the frequency of EAEC as etiologic agent of diarrhea in Shiraz. Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) is increasingly recognized as a cause of often persistent diarrhoea in children and adults in both developing and developed countries, and have been identified as the cause of several outbreaks worldwide. Materials and...
