Separation and in vivo analysis of two extracellular proteases and the T-hemolysin from Aeromonas salmonicida
نویسنده
چکیده
A procedure using DEAE cellulose and hydroxylapetite was developed for the separation of Aeromonas salmonicida P1 protease, P2 protease, and trout cell-specific hemolysin (T-lysin) from supernatants of broth cultures. The Mferent proteases were demonstrated using protease inhibitors, substrate specificities, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with protease substrates in the gels. Isolated P1 protease and T-lysin were shown to act independently in the complete lysis of rainbow trout erythrocytes in vitro. The T-lysin acted on the outer membrane and P1 protease acted on the nuclear membrane. Analysis of cell-free exudate from lesions of trout infected with A. salmonicida by injection demonstrated that more than one protease was also present in vivo. P1 protease was present in both lesions and in culture supernatants, but P2 protease was detected only in culture supernatants. No T-lysin activity was detected in cell-free exudate from lesions caused by A. salmonicida infection.

Aeromonas hydrophila secretes several extracellular proteins including enterotoxin, hemolysin and aerolysin that are associated with the bacterial virulence. Previous studies have shown that two hemolytic toxins, hemolysin A and aerolysin A contribute to the virulence of Aeromonas hydrophila. In the current study, a total of 50 strains of Aeromonas hydrophila, including 28 (56%) strains isolate...

Renibacterium salmoninarum, the agent of bacterial kidney disease in salmonids, releases high concentrations of extracellular protein in tissues of infected fish. The extracellular protein consists almost entirely of a 57-kDa protein and derivatives of degradation and aggregation of the same molecule. The 57-kDa protein and its derivatives were fractionated into defined ranges of molecular mass...

Surface phenotypic characteristics and virulence of Spanish isolates of Aeromonas salmonicida after passage through fish.
Eleven strains of Aeromonas salmonicida were passaged twice by intraperitoneal injection through rainbow trout and reisolated from the kidney of moribund fish. The surface characteristics and virulence of the strains changed following passage through fish. None of the in vitro tests used could effectively predict the in vivo virulence.
متن کاملDefined deletion mutants demonstrate that the major secreted toxins are not essential for the virulence of Aeromonas salmonicida.
The importance of the two major extracellular enzymes of Aeromonas salmonicida, glycerophospholipid: cholesterol acyltransferase (GCAT) and a serine protease (AspA), to the pathology and mortality of salmonid fish with furunculosis had been indicated in toxicity studies. In this study, the genes encoding GCAT (satA) and AspA (aspA) have been cloned and mutagenized by marker replacement of inter...
