Leptospiral outer membrane protein microarray, a novel approach to identification of host ligand-binding proteins.
Leptospirosis is a zoonosis with worldwide distribution caused by pathogenic spirochetes belonging to the genus Leptospira. The leptospiral life cycle involves transmission via freshwater and colonization of the renal tubules of their reservoir hosts. Infection requires adherence to cell surfaces and extracellular matrix components of host tissues. These host-pathogen interactions involve outer...
متن کاملIn Vitro Identification of Novel Plasminogen-Binding Receptors of the Pathogen Leptospira interrogans
BACKGROUND Leptospirosis is a multisystem disease caused by pathogenic strains of the genus Leptospira. We have reported that Leptospira are able to bind plasminogen (PLG), to generate active plasmin in the presence of activator, and to degrade purified extracellular matrix fibronectin. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We have now cloned, expressed and purified 14 leptospiral recombinant protei...
متن کاملThe novel leptospiral surface adhesin Lsa20 binds laminin and human plasminogen and is probably expressed during infection.
Leptospirosis is an emerging infectious disease caused by pathogenic species of Leptospira. In this work, we report the cloning, expression, purification, and characterization of two predicted leptospiral outer membrane proteins, LIC11469 and LIC11030. The LIC11469 protein is well conserved among leptospiral strains, while LIC11030 was identified only in Leptospira interrogans. We confirmed by ...
متن کاملImmuno-fluorescence assay of leptospiral surface-exposed proteins.
Bacterial surface proteins are involved in direct contact with host cells and in uptake of nutrients from the environment (1). For this reason, cellular localization can provide insights into the functional role of bacterial proteins. Surface localization of bacterial proteins is a key step towards identification of virulence factors involved in mechanisms of pathogenicity. Methods for fraction...
متن کاملComparative Transcriptional and Translational Analysis of Leptospiral Outer Membrane Protein Expression in Response to Temperature
BACKGROUND Leptospirosis is a global zoonosis affecting millions of people annually. Transcriptional changes in response to temperature were previously investigated using microarrays to identify genes potentially expressed upon host entry. Past studies found that various leptospiral outer membrane proteins are differentially expressed at different temperatures. However, our microarray studies h...
