Comparative structural and molecular characterization of Streptococcus pneumoniae capsular polysaccharide serogroup 10.
Streptococcus pneumoniae serogroup 10 includes four cross-reactive capsular polysaccharide (CPS) serotypes (10F, 10A, 10B, and 10C). In the present study, the structures of CPS10B and CPS10C were determined by chemical and high resolution NMR methods to define the features of each serotype. Both CPS10C and CPS10F had β1-6-linked Galf branches formed from the termini of linear repeating units by...
متن کاملRecombinant expression of Streptococcus pneumoniae capsular polysaccharides in Escherichia coli
Currently, Streptococcus pneumoniae is responsible for over 14 million cases of pneumonia worldwide annually, and over 1 million deaths, the majority of them children. The major determinant for pathogenesis is a polysaccharide capsule that is variable and is used to distinguish strains based on their serotype. The capsule forms the basis of the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) that c...
متن کاملSequence Diversity within the Capsular Genes of Streptococcus pneumoniae Serogroup 6 and 19
The main virulence factor of Streptococcus pneumoniae is the capsule. The polysaccharides comprising this capsule are encoded by approximately 15 genes and differences in these genes result in different serotypes. The aim of this study was to investigate the sequence diversity of the capsular genes of serotypes 6A, 6B, 6C, 19A and 19F and to explore a possible effect of vaccination on variation...
متن کاملPredicted functions and linkage specificities of the products of the Streptococcus pneumoniae capsular biosynthetic loci.
The sequences of the capsular biosynthetic (cps) loci of 90 serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae have recently been determined. Bioinformatic procedures were used to predict the general functions of 1,973 of the 1,999 gene products and to identify proteins within the same homology group, Pfam family, and CAZy glycosyltransferase family. Correlating cps gene content with the 54 known capsular p...
متن کاملEvolution of the capsular gene locus of Streptococcus pneumoniae serogroup 6
Streptococcus pneumoniae expressing serogroup 6 capsules frequently causes pneumococcal infections and the evolutionary origins of the serogroup 6 strains have been extensively studied. However, these studies were performed when serogroup 6 had only two known members (serotypes 6A and 6B) and before the two new members (serotypes 6C and 6D) expressing wciN(β) were found. We have therefore reinv...
