Omics strategies for revealing Yersinia pestis virulence
نویسندگان
چکیده
Omics has remarkably changed the way we investigate and understand life. Omics differs from traditional hypothesis-driven research because it is a discovery-driven approach. Mass datasets produced from omics-based studies require experts from different fields to reveal the salient features behind these data. In this review, we summarize omics-driven studies to reveal the virulence features of Yersinia pestis through genomics, trascriptomics, proteomics, interactomics, etc. These studies serve as foundations for further hypothesis-driven research and help us gain insight into Y. pestis pathogenesis.

Human cytolytic T cell recognition of Yersinia pestis virulence proteins that target innate immune responses.
Cell contact by the plague bacterium Yersinia pestis initiates the injection of several virulence factors that target biochemical pathways critical for host clearance of bacteria. Despite this impairment of innate immunity, it is unclear whether antigen recognition by T cells is equally affected. We present evidence that human cytolytic T cells respond to Y. pestis virulence proteins presented ...
متن کاملComparative Omics-Driven Genome Annotation Refinement: Application across Yersiniae
Genome sequencing continues to be a rapidly evolving technology, yet most downstream aspects of genome annotation pipelines remain relatively stable or are even being abandoned. The annotation process is now performed almost exclusively in an automated fashion to balance the large number of sequences generated. One possible way of reducing errors inherent to automated computational annotations ...
متن کاملRepression of the virulence of Yersinia pestis by an F' plasmid.
An F-lac plasmid from Escherichia coli was transferred to virulent Yersinia pestis, resulting in the repression of virulence. The Y. pestis F-lac clones retained all of the known virulence traits but were avirulent and calcium independent. Every lac segregant derived from the F-lac clones was fully virulent and calcium dependent.
متن کاملThe response regulator PhoP is important for survival under conditions of macrophage-induced stress and virulence in Yersinia pestis.
The two-component regulatory system PhoPQ has been identified in many bacterial species. However, the role of PhoPQ in regulating virulence gene expression in pathogenic bacteria has been characterized only in Salmonella species. We have identified, cloned, and sequenced PhoP orthologues from Yersinia pestis, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, and Yersinia enterocolitica. To investigate the role of P...
متن کاملYersinia pestis Endowed with Increased Cytotoxicity Is Avirulent in a Bubonic Plague Model and Induces Rapid Protection against Pneumonic Plague
An important virulence strategy evolved by bacterial pathogens to overcome host defenses is the modulation of host cell death. Previous observations have indicated that Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague disease, exhibits restricted capacity to induce cell death in macrophages due to ineffective translocation of the type III secretion effector YopJ, as opposed to the readily translo...
