چکیده

The images for S1 Fig, S2 Fig and S3 Fig are swapped. The image for S1 Fig should be S3 Fig, the image for S2 Fig should be S1 Fig, and the image for S3 Fig should be S2 Fig. Please view the correct Supporting Information Figures below. S1 Fig. Stability of fibrinogen and degradation by plasmin. To assess whether degradation of fibrinogen occurs during prolonged incubation at 37°C, purified fibrinogen was incubated for 24 h (Fg (24 h)). Furthermore, fibrinogen (20 μg/ml) was incubated with the activator uPA (0.16 μg/ml) either in the absence (Fg–Plg +uPA) or in the presence of 10 μg/ml plasminogen (Fg +Plg +uPA), in a total volume of 100 μl 50 mM Tris/HCl pH 7.5. Reactions were incubated for 2 h at 37°C. Following incubation, samples were separated via SDS-PAGE and blotted onto nitrocellulose. The membrane was probed with an antiserum raised against fibriniogen (1:1000) to visualize fibrinoigen or its degradation products. Purified fibrinogen (500 ng) served as an additional control.

Translation Elongation Factor Tuf of Acinetobacter baumannii Is a Plasminogen-Binding Protein

Acinetobacter baumannii is an important nosocomial pathogen, causing a variety of opportunistic infections of the skin, soft tissues and wounds, urinary tract infections, secondary meningitis, pneumonia and bacteremia. Over 63% of A. baumannii infections occurring in the United States are caused by multidrug resistant isolates, and pan-resistant isolates have begun to emerge that are resistant ...

Comparative in silico analyses of proteins involved in serum resistance as promising vaccine candidates against Acinetobacter baumannii

Introduction: Acinetobacter baumannii as a Gram-negative coccobacillus has become a major cause of hospital-acquired infections. The virulence factors involved in serum resistance are important targets in the development of an effective vaccine against this pathogen. Our aim in this project was in silico analyses of A. baumannii proteins involved in serum resistance which could potentially be u...

Immune evasion of the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa: elongation factor Tuf is a factor H and plasminogen binding protein.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen that can cause a wide range of clinical symptoms and infections that are frequent in immunocompromised patients. In this study, we show that P. aeruginosa evades human complement attack by binding the human plasma regulators Factor H and Factor H-related protein-1 (FHR-1) to its surface. Factor H binds to intact bacteria via two sites th...

Silver Resistance In Acinetobacter baumannii BL54 Occurs Through Binding to a Ag-Binding Protein

The mechanism of plasmid mediated silver (Ag) resistance was investigated in Acinetobacter baumanniiBL54. The intracellular accumulation of Ag in both original strain BL54 and Escherichia coli K12transconjugant containing plasmid pUPI276 began immediately and reached a maximum within 60 minutes.This initial accumulation was followed by net loss of Ag which reached a maximum wi...

Stereochemical Trajectories of a Two-Component Regulatory System PmrA/B in a Colistin-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Clinical Isolate

Background: There is limited information on the 3D prediction and modeling of the colistin resistance-associated proteins PmrA/B TCS in Acinetobacter baumannii. We aimed to evaluate the stereochemical structure and domain characterization of PmrA/B in an A. baumannii isolate resistant to high-level colistin, using bioinformatics tools. Methods: The species of the isolate and its susceptibility ...
