RTX cytotoxins recognize beta2 integrin receptors through N-linked oligosaccharides.

چکیده
Bordetella pertussis adenylate cyclase (AC) toxin-hemolysin (Hly) (CyaA, ACT, or AC-Hly) is a cytotoxin of the RTX (repeat in toxin) family. It delivers into target cells an AC domain that catalyzes uncontrolled conversion of ATP to cAMP, a key signaling molecule subverting phagocyte functions. CyaA utilizes a heavily N-glycosylated beta(2) integrin receptor CD11b/CD18 (alpha(M)beta(2), Mac-1, or CR3). We show that deglycosylation of cell surface proteins by glycosidase treatment, or inhibition of protein N-glycosylation by tunicamycin, ablates CyaA binding and penetration of CD11b-expressing cells. Furthermore, binding of CyaA to cells was strongly inhibited in the presence of free saccharides occurring as building units of integrin oligosaccharide complex, whereas saccharides absent from integrin oligosaccharide chains failed to inhibit CyaA binding to CD11b/CD18-expressing cells. CyaA, hence, selectively recognized sugar residues of N-linked oligosaccharides of integrins. Moreover, glycosylation of CD11a/CD18, another receptor of the beta(2) integrin family, was also essential for cytotoxic action of other RTX cytotoxins, the leukotoxin of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (LtxA) and the Escherichia coli alpha-Hly (HlyA). These results show that binding and killing of target cells by CyaA, LtxA, and HlyA depends on recognition of N-linked oligosaccharide chains of beta(2) integrin receptors. This sets a new paradigm for action of RTX cytotoxins.

BACKGROUND The most predominant beta2-integrin lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1, CD11a/CD18, alphaLbeta2), expressed on all leukocytes, is essential for many adhesive functions of the immune system. Interestingly, RTX toxin-producing bacteria specifically target this leukocyte beta2-integrin which exacerbates lesions and disease development. RESULTS This study reports the seque...

Integrins are heterodimeric transmembrane receptors that mediate cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions. Beta2-integrins are expressed exclusively in leukocytes and mediate many important functions in the immune system. Beta2-integrin genes are important in the pathologies of several diseases and genetic syndromes. These include Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency (LAD) and Systemic Lup...

PURPOSE This study investigated the influence of integrin expression as well as the oligosaccharide structure of surface N-glycoproteins on cell behavior of two primary uveal (92-1 and Mel202) and two primary cutaneous (FM55P and IGR-39) melanoma cell lines. METHODS Cell adhesion to fibronectin and cell migration on fibronectin (wound healing) were selected as the studied cell behavior parame...
متن کاملNeisseria meningitidis RTX proteins are not required for virulence in infant rats.
RTX cytotoxins play an important role in virulence of numerous gram-negative pathogens. Unexpectedly, however, we show here that the RTX proteins of Neisseria meningitidis are dispensable for virulence in the infant rat model of infection.

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), the primary causative agent of urinary tract infections, typically express filamentous adhesive organelles called type 1 pili that mediate both bacterial attachment to and invasion of bladder urothelial cells. Several host proteins have previously been identified as receptors for type 1 pili, but none have been conclusively shown to promote UPEC entry into...
