چکیده

Here we report that Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium pathogenicity island 4 carries a type I secretion system (siiCDF) which secretes an approximately 600-kDa protein (encoded by siiE). SiiE is surface expressed, and its production is regulated by HilA. SiiE and SiiF influence colonization in cattle and the invasion of bovine enterocytes.

Coordinate regulation of Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI1) and SPI4 in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium.

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium harbors five pathogenicity islands (SPI) required for infection in vertebrate hosts. Although the role of SPI1 in promoting epithelial invasion and proinflammatory cell death has been amply documented, SPI4 has only more recently been implicated in Salmonella virulence. SPI4 is a 24-kb pathogenicity island containing six open reading frames, siiA to siiF....

Gaussia princeps luciferase as a reporter for transcriptional activity, protein secretion, and protein-protein interactions in Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium.

Gaussia princeps luciferase (Gluc) is widely used as a reporter in eukaryotes, but data about its applicability in bacteria are very limited. Here we show that a codon-optimized Gluc gene can be efficiently expressed in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. To test different Gluc variants as transcriptional reporters, we used the siiA promoter of Salmonella pathogenicity island 4 (SPI-4) dri...

Gaussia princeps luciferase (Gluc) is widely used as a reporter in eukaryotes, but data about its applicability in bacteria is very limited. Here we show that a codon-optimized Gluc gene can be efficiently expressed in Salmonella enterica sv. Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium). To test different Gluc variants as transcriptional reporters, we used the siiA promoter of Salmonella pathogenicity island 4...

Type III secretion of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium translocated effectors and SseFG.

The type III secretion system (TTSS) encoded by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium pathogenicity island 2 (SPI2) is employed by Salmonella enterica for interaction with host cells during the intracellular phase of pathogenesis. This TTSS secretes a set of SPI2-encoded proteins in vitro and translocates Salmonella serovar Typhimurium translocated effectors (STE) that are encoded by genes ou...

Salmonella pathogenicity island 4-mediated adhesion is coregulated with invasion genes in Salmonella enterica.

Salmonella pathogenicity island 4 (SPI4) encodes a type I secretion system and the cognate substrate protein, SiiE. We have recently demonstrated that SiiE is a giant nonfimbrial adhesin involved in the adhesion of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium to polarized epithelial cells. We also observed that under in vitro culture conditions, the synthesis and secretion of SiiE coincided with the...
