Physicochemical and biological analysis of synthetic bacterial lipopeptides: validity of the concept of endotoxic conformation.
The importance of the biological function and activity of lipoproteins from the outer or cytoplasmic membranes of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria is being increasingly recognized. It is well established that they are like the endotoxins (lipopolysaccharide (LPS)), which are the main amphiphilic components of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, potent stimulants of the human i...
متن کاملBiological Removal of phosphate from Synthetic Wastewater Using Bacterial Consortium
The biological phosphorus removal is a microbial process widely used for removing phosphorus fromwastewater to avoid eutrophication of water bodies. The study was aimed to screen the efficient phosphatereducing isolates and used to remove phosphate from synthetic wastewater using batch scale process. Thethree most efficient phosphate reducers were isolated and screened from eu...
متن کاملToll-like receptor activation of human cells by synthetic triacylated lipid A-like molecules.
Recognition of microbial molecules by mammalian host receptors is essential to mount an immune response. Hexaacylated LPS is the prototypic example of a bacterial molecule recognized by the receptor complex TLR4/MD-2 with its lipid A moiety, whereas bacterial lipopeptides are recognized by TLR2. Here we show that a series of synthetic triacylated lipid A-like molecules are weak Toll-like recept...
متن کاملThe Synthetic Bacterial Lipopeptide Pam3CSK4 Modulates Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection Independent of TLR Activation
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is an important cause of acute respiratory disease in infants, immunocompromised subjects and the elderly. However, it is unclear why most primary RSV infections are associated with relatively mild symptoms, whereas some result in severe lower respiratory tract infections and bronchiolitis. Since RSV hospitalization has been associated with respiratory bacteria...
متن کاملTLR2 mediates neuroinflammation and neuronal damage.
Innate immunity relies on pattern recognition receptors to detect the presence of infectious pathogens. In the case of Gram-positive bacteria, binding of bacterial lipopeptides to TLR2 is currently regarded as an important mechanism. In the present study, we used the synthetic bacterial lipopeptide Pam3CysSK4, a selective TLR2 agonist, to induce meningeal inflammation in rodents. In a 6-h rat m...
