Abstract:

This review presents a brief outline of our current knowledge of the structure and chemical composition of the outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), originating from the surface of Gram negative bacteria including their outer membrane proteins and lipopolysaccharides. Moreover, the functional roles and applications of OMVs in medical research such as OMV-based vaccines, OMV adjuvants properties, OMV carriers in conjugated vaccines as well as in drug vehicles and delivery systems are discussed. Finally, new applications of these macromolecules as biotechnological tools are briefly presented.

The Outer Membrane of Gram-negative Bacteria and the Cytoplasmic Membrane The Outer Membrane of Gram-Negative Bacteria

The major permeability barrier in any membrane is the lipid bilayer structure, and its barrier property is inversely correlated with its fluidity. Bacteria cannot make this membrane much less fluid or it will start to interfere with the normal functions of the membrane proteins, so some bacteria have constructed an additional structure that surrounds the cell outside the cytoplasmic membrane. A...

A novel mechanism for the biogenesis of outer membrane vesicles in Gram-negative bacteria

Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) have important biological roles in pathogenesis and intercellular interactions, but a general mechanism of OMV formation is lacking. Here we show that the VacJ/Yrb ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transport system, a proposed phospholipid transporter, is involved in OMV formation. Deletion or repression of VacJ/Yrb increases OMV production in two distantly rel...

On the origin of membrane vesicles in gram-negative bacteria.

It is proposed that the genesis of extracellular membrane vesicles in Gram-negative bacteria is a result of cell wall turnover. Peptidoglycan turnover would cause a turgor on the outer membrane, causing the outer membrane to bulge and finally bleb. Mechanical motion would then shear the blebs into the culture medium.

Release of outer membrane vesicles by Gram-negative bacteria is a novel envelope stress response

Conditions that impair protein folding in the Gram-negative bacterial envelope cause stress. The destabilizing effects of stress in this compartment are recognized and countered by a number of signal transduction mechanisms. Data presented here reveal another facet of the complex bacterial stress response, release of outer membrane vesicles. Native vesicles are composed of outer membrane and pe...

Outer Membrane Vesicles (OMVs) of Gram-negative Bacteria: A Perspective Update

Outer Membrane Vesicles (OMVs) of Gram-negative bacteria are spherical membrane-enclosed entities of endocytic origin. Reported in the consortia of different bacterial species, production of OMVs into extracellular milieu seems essential for their survival. Enriched with bioactive proteins, toxins, and virulence factors, OMVs play a critical role in the bacteria-bacteria and bacteria-host inter...
