Expression of proteins Heat-Labile (Lt-1) and Heat-Stable (STa) Escherichia coli expression of proteins Heat-Labile (Lt-1) and Heat-Stable (STa) Escherichia coli
Introduction Escherichia coli has a direct relationship with the diarrheagenic diseases, which occur quite in developing countries due to poor sanitation system and public health. It mainly affects children, causing a rate of morbidity and mortality worrying. This bacterium has a versatility of strains expressing different mechanisms and virulence factors, thus the importance in studying the ta...
متن کاملTemperature regulation of heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) synthesis in Escherichia coli is mediated by an interaction of H-NS protein with the LT A-subunit DNA.
Protein and mRNA levels of heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) of Escherichia coli are highest at 37 degrees C, and they decrease gradually as temperature is decreased. This temperature effect is eliminated in an Hns- mutant. Deletion of portions of DNA coding for the LT A subunit also results in an increase in LT expression at low temperatures, suggesting that the H-NS protein causes inhibition of tr...
متن کاملGenetic fusions of heat-labile (LT) and heat-stable (ST) toxoids of porcine enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli elicit neutralizing anti-LT and anti-STa antibodies.
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains are a major cause of diarrheal disease in humans and farm animals. E. coli fimbriae, or colonization factor antigens (CFAs), and enterotoxins, including heat-labile enterotoxins (LT) and heat-stable enterotoxins (ST), are the key virulence factors in ETEC diarrhea. Unlike fimbriae or LT, STa has not often been included as an antigen in development...
متن کاملAntibody against recombinant heat labile enterotoxin B subunit (rLTB) could block LT binding to ganglioside M1 receptor
OBJECTIVES Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is one of the most common agents of diarrhea among other bacterial agents. Designing and producing vaccine against these bacteria is one of the major purposes of World Health Organization (WHO). Due to presence of diverse clones of ETEC strains in the world, the use of global vaccines for ETEC infection is controversial. B subunit of heat labil...
متن کاملComparative analysis of the mucosal adjuvanticity of the type II heat-labile enterotoxins LT-IIa and LT-IIb.
Cholera toxin (CT) and the heat-labile enterotoxin of Escherichia coli (LT-I) are members of the serogroup I heat-labile enterotoxins (HLT) and can serve as systemic and mucosal adjuvants. However, information is lacking with respect to the structurally related but antigenically distinct serogroup II HLT, LT-IIa and LT-IIb, which have different binding specificities for ganglioside receptors. T...
