Phase variation mediates reductions in expression of surface proteins during persistent meningococcal carriage.
Asymptomatic and persistent colonization of the upper respiratory tract by Neisseria meningitidis occurs despite elicitation of adaptive immune responses against surface antigens. A putative mechanism for facilitating host persistence of this bacterial commensal and pathogen is alterations in expression of surface antigens by simple sequence repeat (SSR)-mediated phase variation. We investigate...
متن کاملThe Role of C Fibers in Spinal Microglia Induction and Possible Relation with TRPV3 Expression During Chronic Inflammatory Arthritis in Rats
Introduction: Stimulation of peptidergic fibers activates microglia in the dorsal horn. Microglia activation causes fractalkine (FKN) release, a neuron-glia signal, which enhances pain. The transient vanilloid receptor 1 (TRPV1) mediates the release of neuropeptides, which can subsequently activate glia. TRPV1 and TRPV2 are generally expressed on C and Aδ fibers, respe...
متن کاملPhase Variation of PorA, a Major Outer Membrane Protein, Mediates Escape of Bactericidal Antibodies by Neisseria meningitidis
Several outer membrane proteins of Neisseria meningitidis are subject to phase variation due to alterations in simple sequence repeat tracts. The PorA protein is a major outer membrane protein and a target for protective host immune responses. Phase variation of PorA is mediated by a poly-G repeat tract present within the promoter, leading to alterations in protein expression levels. N. meningi...
متن کاملMolecular Study of Phase Variation of Type 1 Fimbriae in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli O44 Serotypes during Touching with Solid Surfaces
Background & Aims: Type 1 fimbriae is the most common adhesion factor in urine tract infection. In this Study, presence of virulence genes in isolated strains of uropathogenic E.Coli, O serotyping and molecular detection of phase variation of type 1 fimbriae were assessed during solid surfaces exposure. Methods: Isolated E.coli from urine samples of patients were serotyped by using serologic me...
متن کاملAssociation of agr Gene Expression with Staphylococcus Aureus Virulence Genes in BHI Broth
Abstract Background and Objective: Agr is the most important regulatory system for the expression of Staphylococcus aureus virulence factors in different conditions. Agr acts as a quorum sensing system in this bacterium which is activated by increased cell concentration during the transition from logarithmic growth phase to stationary phase. Its role is to up...
