Isolation of Helicobacter pylori genes that modulate urease activity.
Helicobacter pylori urease, a nickel-requiring metalloenzyme, hydrolyzes urea to NH3 and CO2. We sought to identify H. pylori genes that modulate urease activity by constructing pHP8080, a plasmid which encodes both H. pylori urease and the NixA nickel transporter. Escherichia coli SE5000 and DH5alpha transformed with pHP8080 resulted in a high-level urease producer and a low-level urease produ...
متن کاملHelicobacter pylori Urease Activity is Influenced by Ferric Uptake Regulator
PURPOSE The role of the Ferric Uptake Regulator (FUR) in the acid resistance of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has been thought to be independent of urease. However, we demonstrated in this study that Fur influences urease activity. MATERIALS AND METHODS A fur knockout mutant of H. pylori was constructed by replacing the Fur gene with a kanamycin resistant marker gene. The wild-type H. pylor...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Study of Helicobacter pylori Urease
Helicobacter pylori have been implicated in an array of gastrointestinal disorders including, but not limited to, gastric and duodenal ulcers and adenocarcinoma. This bacterium utilizes an enzyme, urease, to produce copious amounts of ammonia through urea hydrolysis in order to survive the harsh acidic conditions of the stomach. Molecular dynamics (MD) studies on the H. pylori urease enzyme hav...
متن کاملCloning and Expression of Recombinant Helicobacter pylori Urease A and B Subunits as a Putative Vaccine
Helicobacter pylori infection is among the most prevalent infections in the world involving more than half the adult population. H. pylori infection results in active chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers and enhances the risk of gastric malignancies. It is of utmost importance to prevent H. pylori infection particularly in highly prevalent countries including Iran. The urease holoenzyme produced by...
متن کاملPectin shows antibacterial activity against Helicobacter pylori
Pectins are the collective name for a group of heterogeneous, high molecular weight, branched polysaccharides that are found in the cell walls of higher plants. In this study, we intend to determine the antibacterial activity of pectin against reference strains and clinical isolates of Helicobacter pylori. The results show that pectin produced antibacterial effects on all the 16 clinical isolat...
