antibody production against enterobacteriacea using recombinant ferric enterobactin protein (fepa)

چکیده
objective: escherichia coli o157:h7 is a gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium. e coli o157:h7 is an enterohemorrhagic (ehec) strain of the bacterium escherichia coli and a cause of foodborne illness. infection often leads to bloody diarrhea by producing a toxin called shiga toxin, which damages the intestines, and occasionally leads to kidney failure, especially in young children and elderly people. a 2241 bp fepa gene of e.coli o157:h7 codes for production of a ferric enterobactin binding membrane protein that is essential for iron uptake by the bacterium. inhibition of iron uptake can protect invasion of host by the bacterium. in this study we attempted to evaluate immunogenicity of the membrane protein, fepa. materials and methods: in order to produce recombinant fepa protein, the genomic, fepa gene of 2241 bp long was amplified by pcr from e coli o157:h7. the pcr product was ligated to pet28a. the recombinant protein was then expressed in e. coli bl21de3 by iptg induction. sds-page analysis was carried out and the recombinant protein was purified by ni-nta affinity chromatography. the purified recombinant protein was injected to balb/c mice in order to induce immunity. antibody titer was determined by elisa. results: the recombinant protein of 85 kd was produced and purified. immunogenicity of the recombinant protein was determined by injecting balb/c mice. the antibody produced therein could efficiently recognize and bind ferric enterobactin binding protein, thus heaving mice tolerance of 106ld50. conclusion: with a view to the significant recognition by the antibody of ferric enterobactin binding protein, the notion of its application in restriction of enterobacteriacea propagation could be feasible.

Passive immunization by recombinant ferric enterobactin protein (FepA) from Escherichia coli O157
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 has been recognized as a major food borne pathogen responsible for frequent hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome in humans. Cattle are important reservoirs of E. coli O157:H7, in which the organism colonizes the intestinal tract and is shed in the feces. OBJECTIVE Vaccination of cattle has significant pot...

Bovine Viral Diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an important viral pathogen of cattle causing several clinical syndromes. There are usually no pathognomonic clinical signs of BVDV infection. Diagnostic investigations therefore rely on serological detection and virus isolation. Nonstructural protein 3 (NS3) as immunogenic protein of BVDV is genetically and antigenically conserved among different isolates....
متن کاملAromatic components of two ferric enterobactin binding sites in Escherichia coli FepA.
Ferric enterobactin is a catecholate siderophore that binds with high affinity (Kd approximately 10-10 M) to the Escherichia coli outer membrane protein FepA. We studied the involvement of aromatic amino acids in its uptake by determining the binding affinities, kinetics and transport properties of site-directed mutants. We replaced seven aromatic residues (Y260, Y272, Y285, Y289, W297, Y309 an...

Concerted loop motion triggers induced fit of FepA to ferric enterobactin
Spectroscopic analyses of fluorophore-labeled Escherichia coli FepA described dynamic actions of its surface loops during binding and transport of ferric enterobactin (FeEnt). When FeEnt bound to fluoresceinated FepA, in living cells or outer membrane fragments, quenching of fluorophore emissions reflected conformational motion of the external vestibular loops. We reacted Cys sulfhydryls in sev...
