Characterization of outer membrane proteins in Chlamydia trachomatis LGV serovar L2.

چکیده
We used a photoactivatable, lipophilic reagent, 3'-(trifluoromethyl)-3-(m-[125I]iodophenyl)diazirine, to label proteins in the outer membrane of elementary bodies of Chlamydia trachomatis LGV serovar L2 and mass spectrometry to identify the labeled proteins. The identified proteins were polymorphic outer membrane proteins E, G, and H, which were made late in the developmental cycle, the major outer membrane protein, and a mixture of 46-kDa proteins consisting of the open reading frame 623 protein and possibly a modified form of the major outer membrane protein.

Murine cytotoxic T lymphocytes induced following Chlamydia trachomatis intraperitoneal or genital tract infection respond to cells infected with multiple serovars.
The obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is associated with human diseases ranging from blinding trachoma to sexually acquired genital infections and the systemic disease lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV). We have previously reported the isolation and culture of protective murine cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) following intraperitoneal infection with C. trachomatis serovar L2, a s...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of a mutant Chinese hamster ovary cell line that is resistant to Chlamydia trachomatis infection at a novel step in the attachment process.
Host factors involved in Chlamydia trachomatis pathogenesis were investigated by random chemical mutagenesis of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) cells followed by selection for clones resistant to chlamydial infection. A clonal mutant cell line, D4.1-3, refractory to infection by the C. trachomatis L2 serovar was isolated. The D4.1-3 cell line appears to be lacking in a previously undescribed tem...
متن کاملIdentification by sequence analysis of two-site posttranslational processing of the cysteine-rich outer membrane protein 2 of Chlamydia trachomatis serovar L2.
The 60,000-molecular-weight cysteine-rich outer membrane protein (OMP2) from Chlamydia trachomatis participates in the disulfide-mediated outer-membrane organization unique to this organism. In addition, this protein is a primary focus of the host immune response. We cloned and sequenced the gene for OMP2 from C. trachomatis serovar L2. A lambda gt11 recombinant that expressed an antigenic port...

The structural gene for the major outer membrane protein (MOMP) from Chlamydia trachomatis was cloned and sequenced. A lambda gt11 recombinant (lambda gt11/L2/33) that contains a portion of the MOMP coding sequence was used to probe a lambda 1059 library constructed from DNA obtained from C. trachomatis serovar L2. Selected lambda 1059 recombinants were mapped with endonuclease restriction enzy...

The gene encoding the major outer membrane protein (MOMP) from Chlamydia trachomatis, serovar H was isolated from a genomic library using the MOMP gene from serovar L2 as the probe (1) . The recombinant insert was subcloned into a plasmid vector (Bluescript), the gene localized by Southern blotting and the nucleotide sequence was determined by the dideoxy chain termination method. The H MOMP ge...
