Bacterial pathogens need to scavenge iron from their host for growth and proliferation during infection. They have evolved several strategies to do this, one being the biosynthesis and excretion of small, high-affinity iron chelators known as siderophores. The biosynthesis of siderophores is an important area of study, not only for potential therapeutic intervention but also to illuminate new e...
متن کاملCharacterization of a tonB mutation in Erwinia chrysanthemi 3937: TonB(Ech) is a member of the enterobacterial TonB family.
The pectinolytic enterobacterium Erwinia chrysanthemi 3937 causes a systemic disease in its natural host, the African violet (Saintpaulia: ionantha). It produces two structurally unrelated siderophores, chrysobactin and achromobactin. Chrysobactin makes a large contribution to invasive growth of the bacterium in its host. Insertion mutants of a chrysobactin-defective strain were constructed and...
متن کاملThe Erwinia chrysanthemi 3937 PhoQ sensor kinase regulates several virulence determinants.
The PhoPQ two-component system regulates virulence factors in Erwinia chrysanthemi, a pectinolytic enterobacterium that causes soft rot in several plant species. We characterized the effect of a mutation in phoQ, the gene encoding the sensor kinase PhoQ of the PhoPQ two-component regulatory system, on the global transcriptional profile of E. chrysanthemi using cDNA microarrays and further confi...
متن کاملErwinia chrysanthemi iron metabolism: the unexpected implication of the inner membrane platform within the type II secretion system.
The type II secretion (T2S) system is an essential device for Erwinia chrysanthemi virulence. Previously, we reported the key role of the OutF protein in forming, along with OutELM, an inner membrane platform in the Out T2S system. Here, we report that OutF copurified with five proteins identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight analysis as AcsD, TogA, SecA, Tsp, a...
متن کاملIsolation, characterization, and synthesis of chrysobactin, a compound with siderophore activity from Erwinia chrysanthemi.
A catechcol-type siderophore, assigned the trivial name chrysobactin, was isolated from the phytopathogenic bacterium Erwinia chrysanthemi and characterized by degradation and spectroscopic techniques as N-[N2-(2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl)-D-lysyl]-L-serine. Chrysobactin, which was also obtained by chemical synthesis, was shown to be active in supplying iron to a group of mutants of E. chrysanthemi de...
