Pathogens rely on proteins embedded on their surface to perform tasks essential for host infection. These obligatory structures exposed to the host immune system provide important targets for rational vaccine design. Here, we use a systematically designed series of multi-domain constructs in combination with small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) to determine the structure of the main immunoreacti...
The life cycle of the pathogen Leptospira interrogans involves stages outside and inside the host. Entry of L. interrogans from moist environments into the host is likely to be accompanied by the induction of genes encoding virulence determinants and the concomitant repression of genes encoding products required for survival outside of the host. The expression of the adhesin LigA, the haemolysi...
Pathogenic Leptospira spp. express immunoglobulin-like proteins, LigA and LigB, which serve as adhesins to bind to extracellular matrices and mediate their attachment on host cells. However, nothing is known about the mechanism by which these proteins are involved in pathogenesis. We demonstrate that LigBCen2 binds Ca(2+), as evidenced by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry...
مقدمه و هدف: لپتوسپیروز که در اثر عفونت با گونه های بیماری زای لپتو سپیرا ایجاد می شود , یکی از شایع ترین بیماری های مشترک انسان و دام در جهان است. واکسن های لپتوسپیرایی در حال حاضر از جسم کامل کشته شده سرووارهای غالب محلی تهیه می شوند. این واکسن ها علاوه بر ناکارآمدی در ایجاد ایمنی متقاطع بین سرووارهای مختلف لپتوسپیرا , منجر به القای ایمنی کوتاه مدت و همچنین عوارض جانبی جدی نیز می گردند. بنابر...
Leptospirosis is a global zoonosis caused by pathogenic bacteria of the genus Leptospira. The application CRISPR/Cas9 system has facilitated generation mutants and subsequent evaluation phenotypes. Since DNA breaks induced RNA-guided Cas9 nuclease are lethal to Leptospira, different methodologies were implemented overcome this limitation. Initially, CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) was employed cr...
Neglected tropical diseases, including zoonoses such as leptospirosis, have a major impact on rural and poor urban communities, particularly in developing countries. This has led to major investment in antipoverty vaccines that focus on diseases that influence public health and thereby productivity. While the true, global, impact of leptospirosis is unknown due to the lack of adequate laborator...
Leptospirosis is a zooanthroponosis aetiologically caused by pathogenic bacteria belonging to the genus, Leptospira. Environmental signals such as increases in temperatures or oxidative stress can trigger response regulatory modes of virulence genes during infection. This study sought to determine the effect of temperature and oxidative stress on virulence associated genes in highly passaged Le...
BACKGROUND Many bacterial surface exposed proteins mediate the host-pathogen interaction more effectively in the presence of Ca²+. Leptospiral immunoglobulin-like (Lig) proteins, LigA and LigB, are surface exposed proteins containing Bacterial immunoglobulin like (Big) domains. The function of proteins which contain Big fold is not known. Based on the possible similarities of immunoglobulin and...
BACKGROUND Leptospirosis is one of the most widespread zoonoses in the world and with over 260 pathogenic serovars there is an urgent need for a molecular system of classification. The development of multilocus sequence typing (MLST) schemes for Leptospira spp. is addressing this issue. The aim of this study was to identify loci with potential to enhance Leptospira strain discrimination by sequ...
Legionella pneumophila, the major causative agent of Legionnaires' disease, is a facultative intracellular pathogen that grows within human macrophages and amoebae. Intracellular growth involves the formation of a replicative phagosome that requires the Icm/Dot type IV secretion system. Part of the icm/dot region in L. pneumophila contains the icmTSRQPO genes. The proteins encoded by the icmR a...
