چکیده

Iron deposition in the unusual 12-subunit ferritin from thebacterium Listeria innocua proceeds in three phases: a rapidfirst phase in which Fe(2+) binds to the apoprotein, P(Z) of charge Z, according to the postulatedreaction 2Fe(2+)+P(Z)-->[Fe(2)-P](Z+2)+2H(+), where[Fe(2)-P](Z+2) represents adinuclear iron(II) complex formed at each of the 12 ferroxidase centresof the protein; a second phase corresponding to oxidation of thisputative complex, i.e. [Fe(2)-P](Z+2)+1/2 O(2)-->[Fe(2)O-P](Z)+2H(+);and a third phase of iron(II) oxidation/mineralization, i.e. 4Fe(2+)+O(2)+8H(2)O-->8FeOOH((s))+8H(+) [where FeOOH((s)) represents the hydrous ferric oxidemineral that precipitates from the solution], which occurs when iron isadded in excess of 24Fe(2+)/protein. In contrast with otherferritins, the ferroxidation reaction in L. innocua ferritinproceeds more slowly than the oxidation/mineralization reaction. Wateris the final product of dioxygen reduction in the 12-subunit L.innocua ferritin (the present work) and in the 24-subunit Escherichia coli bacterioferritin, whereas H(2)O(2) is produced in 24-subunit mammalian ferritins. Possible reasonsfor this difference are discussed.

Incorporation of iron by the unusual dodecameric ferritin from Listeria innocua.

The polypeptide chain that assembles into the unusual dodecameric shell of Listeria innocua apoferritin lacks the ferroxidase centre characteristic of H-type mammalian chains, but is able to catalyse both Fe(II) oxidation and nucleation of the iron core. A cluster of five carboxylate residues, which correspond in part to the site of iron core nucleation typical of L-type mammalian ferritins, ha...

Inhibitory Effect of Isolated Lactic Acid Bacteria from Scomberomorus commerson Intestines and their Bacteriocin on Listeria innocua

ABSTRACT- Lactic acid bacteria are commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract of various endothermic animals and humans, in milk, dairy and seafood products and on some plant surfaces. The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of isolated lactic acid bacteria from intestines of narrow-barred Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus commerson) on Listeria innocua growth. Five strai...

The Prevalence of Campylobacter, Listeria and Salmonella Species in Freshwater and Salt-Water Fish

A total of 154 samples of marine (n=51) and freshwater fish (n=103) were obtained from fish markets in Elazig Province of eastern Turkey. These samples were tested for Campylobacter, Listeria and Salmonella using culturing and biochemical methods. Campylobacter failed to be detected in any freshwater or marine fish samples. Listeria was detected in 22 and 14 of gill and skin samples from freshw...

Enhancement of the Listeria monocytogenes p60-specific CD4 and CD8 T cell memory by nonpathogenic Listeria innocua.

The contact of T cells to cross-reactive antigenic determinants expressed by nonpathogenic environmental micro-organisms may contribute to the induction or maintenance of T cell memory. This hypothesis was evaluated in the model of murine Listeria monocytogenes infection. The influence of nonpathogenic L. innocua on the L. monocytogenes p60-specific T cell response was analyzed. We show that so...

A sheep in wolf's clothing: Listeria innocua strains with teichoic acid-associated surface antigens and genes characteristic of Listeria monocytogenes serogroup 4.

Listeria monocytogenes serotype 4b has been implicated in numerous food-borne epidemics and in a substantial fraction of sporadic listeriosis. A unique lineage of the nonpathogenic species Listeria innocua was found to express teichoic acid-associated surface antigens that were otherwise expressed only by L. monocytogenes of serotype 4b and the rare serotypes 4d and 4e. These L. innocua strains...
