Mutation of waaN reduces Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium-induced enteritis and net secretion of type III secretion system 1-dependent proteins.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mutation of waaN, a gene involved in lipid A biosynthesis, reduced enteropathogenic responses induced by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium in bovine ligated ileal loops. However, the secretion of key virulence determinants was also reduced, and therefore the reduction in enteropathogenicity cannot be solely attributed to a reduction in biological activity of lipid A.

Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhi Conceals the Invasion-Associated Type Three Secretion System from the Innate Immune System by Gene Regulation
Delivery of microbial products into the mammalian cell cytosol by bacterial secretion systems is a strong stimulus for triggering pro-inflammatory host responses. Here we show that Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi), the causative agent of typhoid fever, tightly regulates expression of the invasion-associated type III secretion system (T3SS-1) and thus fails to activate these innate i...

One of the essential features of all pathogenic strains of Salmonella enterica is the ability to enter into nonphagocytic cells. This pathogenic property is mediated by the Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI-1)-encoded type III secretion system. Expression of components and substrates of this system is subject to complex regulatory mechanisms. These mechanisms include a number of specific a...
متن کاملType III secretion of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium translocated effectors and SseFG.
The type III secretion system (TTSS) encoded by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium pathogenicity island 2 (SPI2) is employed by Salmonella enterica for interaction with host cells during the intracellular phase of pathogenesis. This TTSS secretes a set of SPI2-encoded proteins in vitro and translocates Salmonella serovar Typhimurium translocated effectors (STE) that are encoded by genes ou...
متن کاملInhibition of type III secretion in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium by small-molecule inhibitors.
Type III secretion systems (T3SS) are conserved in many pathogenic gram-negative bacteria. Small molecules that specifically target T3SS in Yersinia and Chlamydia spp. have recently been identified. Here we show that two such compounds inhibit Salmonella T3SS-1, preventing secretion of T3SS-1 effectors, invasion of cultured epithelial cells, and enteritis in vivo.
متن کاملOptimization of the delivery of heterologous proteins by the Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium type III secretion system for vaccine development.
Type III protein secretion systems, which are organelles with the capacity to deliver bacterial proteins into host cells, have been adapted to deliver heterologous antigens for vaccine development. A limitation of these antigen delivery systems is that some proteins are not amenable to secretion through this pathway. We show here that proteins from the simian and human immunodeficiency viruses ...
