Proteins of Mycobacterium bovis BCG induced in the Wayne dormancy model.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Oxygen starvation triggers the shiftdown of the obligate aerobe Mycobacterium bovis BCG to a state of dormancy. Two-dimensional electrophoresis showed a drastic up-regulation of the alpha-crystallin homolog, the putative response regulator Rv3133c, and the two conserved hypothetical proteins Rv2623 and Rv2626c in dormant bacilli.

Mycobacterium bovis BCG response regulator essential for hypoxic dormancy.
Obligately aerobic tubercle bacilli are capable of adapting to survive hypoxia by developing into a nonreplicating or dormant form. Dormant bacilli maintain viability for extended periods. Furthermore, they are resistant to antimycobacterials, and hence, dormancy might play a role in the persistence of tuberculosis infection despite prolonged chemotherapy. Previously, we have grown dormant Myco...
متن کاملMycobacterium bovis BCG vaccine strains lack narK2 and narX induction and exhibit altered phenotypes during dormancy.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the causative agent of tuberculosis, a disease that affects one-third of the world's population. The sole extant vaccine for tuberculosis is the live attenuated Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG). We examined 13 representative BCG strains from around the world to ascertain their ability to express DosR-regulated dormancy antigens. These are known to...
متن کاملOxygen depletion-induced dormancy in Mycobacterium bovis BCG.
Gradual depletion of oxygen causes the shift-down of aerobic growing Mycobacterium bovis BCG to an anaerobic synchronized state of nonreplicating persistence. The persistent culture shows induction of glycine dehydrogenase and alpha-crystallin-like protein and is sensitive to metronidazole.
متن کاملApplication of 2D-DIGE in Identification of Differentially Expressed Proteins of Mycobacterium Bovis BCG in Nonculturable and Rpf Mediated Resuscitation Phase
Prolonged incubation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis BCG culture in stationary phase induces a true dormancy generating nonculturable (NC) cells. Recovery of NC cells to replicating phase can be promoted by resuscitation promoting factor (Rpf) of Micrococcus luteus. There are five homologs of Rpf proteins in M. tuberculosis and M. bovis BCG and all are individually able to...
متن کاملDifferential Expression of Proteins of Mycobacterium bovis BCG during Adaptation to Anaerobic Non Replicating Persistence
The adaptive mechanisms involved in the establishment of a latent infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis are not fully understood, but hypoxic condition in the central part of the granulomas is generally believed to be the environment encountered by the pathogen during persistence. In the present study, we followed the adaptive process of Mycobacterium bovis BCG during transition in vitro fr...
