Brucella abortus catalase is a periplasmic protein lacking a standard signal sequence.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A periplasmic catalase has been purified and cloned from Brucella abortus. The functional enzyme is a tetramer with a subunit molecular weight of 55,000. All evidence indicates that a typical N-terminal signal sequence is not associated with the export of this protein to the periplasm.

Expression of Brucella abortus Omp25 Protein in Lactococcus lactis Probiotic Bacteria
Background and purpose: The sequence of Omp25 is conserved in all Brucella species. The high antigenicity of the product of this gene stimulates the host’s immune system. Using engineered probiotic bacteria is an appropriate method for vaccine transport. The aim of this study was to express the Omp25 of the Brucella abortus pathogenic bacterium in Lactococcus lactis probiotic bacterium. Materi...
متن کاملRegulation of Brucella abortus catalase as a defensive mechanism against oxidative stress
In this study, we investigate the expression of Brucella abortus proteins in resporise to oxidative stress. The focus is on several proteins thought to be involved in bacterial protection. We show that catalase and Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase are regulated in response to H2O2 or by superoxide, whereas expression of Hsp70 and Hsp60 are not dramatically affected by oxidative stress. The regulation...
متن کاملHigh Level Expression of Recombinant Ribosomal Protein (L7/L12) from Brucella abortus and Its Reaction with Infected Human Sera
Brucellosis, caused by Brucella spp., is an important zoonotic disease that causes abortion and infertility in cattle and undulant fever in humans. Various studies have examined cell-free native and recombinant proteins as candidate protective antigens in animal models. Among Brucella immunogenes, antigen based on ribosomal preparation has been widely investigated. In this study, the immunogeni...
متن کاملEpitope mapping of the Brucella melitensis BP26 immunogenic protein: usefulness for diagnosis of sheep brucellosis.
Sequencing of bp26, the gene encoding the Brucella sp. immunogenic BP26 periplasmic protein, was performed in the reference strains of Brucella abortus, B. suis, and B. ovis. The three bp26 sequences were almost identical to that published for B. melitensis 16M bp26, and only minor nucleotide substitutions, without modifying the amino acid sequence, were observed between species. The bp26 genes...
متن کاملVector development for the expression of foreign proteins in the vaccine strain Brucella abortus S19.
A vector for the expression of foreign antigens in the vaccine strain Brucella abortus S19 was developed by using a DNA fragment containing the regulatory sequences and the signal peptide of the Brucella bcsp31 gene. This fragment was cloned in broad-host-range plasmid pBBR4MCS, resulting in plasmid pBEV. As a reporter protein, a repetitive antigen of Trypanosoma cruzi was used. The recombinant...
