tmRNA Is Essential in Shigella flexneri
Nonstop mRNAs pose a challenge for bacteria, because translation cannot terminate efficiently without a stop codon. The trans-translation pathway resolves nonstop translation complexes by removing the nonstop mRNA, the incomplete protein, and the stalled ribosome. P1 co-transduction experiments demonstrated that tmRNA, a key component of the trans-translation pathway, is essential for viability...
متن کاملShigella flexneri LuxS quorum-sensing system modulates virB expression but is not essential for virulence.
Quorum-sensing systems regulate the expression of virulence factors in a wide variety of plant and animal pathogens, including members of the Enterobacteriaceae. Studies of Shigella virulence gene expression have demonstrated that maximal expression of genes encoding the type III secretion system and its substrates and maximal activity of this virulence organelle occur at high cell density. In ...
متن کاملKeratitis due to Shigella flexneri.
Multiresistant Shigella flexneri isolates were cultured from the cornea and stool of a girl. Genetic analysis showed the isolates were identical. Shigella spp. are rare causes of ulcerative keratitis; there have only been 14 published cases since 1943. Although prognosis after local treatment is good, shigellosis is a systemic infection, possibly leading to dehydration.
متن کاملLactoferrin-binding proteins in Shigella flexneri.
The ability of Shigella flexneri to interact with lactoferrin (Lf) was examined with a 125I-labeled protein-binding assay. The percent binding of human lactoferrin (HLf) and bovine lactoferrin (BLf) to 45 S. flexneri strains was 19 +/- 3 and 21 +/- 3 (mean +/- standard error of the mean), respectively. 125I-labeled HLf and BLf binding to strain M90T reached an equilibrium within 2 h. Unlabeled ...
متن کاملShigella flexneri phagosomal escape is independent of invasion.
Infections with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and Shigella flexneri result in mucosal inflammation in response to epithelial cell invasion and macrophage cytotoxicity. These processes are mediated by type III secretion systems encoded in homologous virulence loci in the two species, namely, Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI-1), carried in the genome, and the Shigella entry region...
