pH and calcium dependence of hemolysis due to Rickettsia prowazekii: comparison with phospholipase activity.
Rickettsia prowazekii invades nucleated cells through phagocytosis and subsequently proliferates in the cytoplasm of the host cell. Hemolysis and a phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity at neutral pHs have previously been reported; even though the phagosomal environment is most likely acidic. We here show that R. prowazekii and R. typhi also lyse erythrocytes at mildly acidic pHs, compatible with an...
متن کاملGenotyping Rickettsia prowazekii Isolates
We developed a typing method that can differentiate 8 strains of Rickettsia prowazekii into 7 genotypes. This method can be used to type and trace the origin of R. prowazekii isolated from samples collected during epidemics after a bioterrorism attack.
متن کاملProteomic analysis of Rickettsia prowazekii.
Rickettsia prowazekii is an obligate intracellular gram-negative bacterium. Comparative proteomics study of a virulent strain (Breinl) versus an avirulent strain (Madrid E) was performed using an integrated liquid chromatography and mass spectrometer. About 30% of predicted proteins were detected and identified. Among the detected proteins, more than 30 proteins were of unknown function in both...
متن کاملTransport of AMP by Rickettsia prowazekii.
Rickettsia prowazekii possesses an exchange transport system for AMP. Chromatographic analysis of the rickettsiae demonstrated that transported AMP appeared intracellularly as AMP, ADP, and ATP, and no hydrolytic products appeared in either the intracellular or extracellular compartments. The phosphorylation of AMP to ADP and ATP was prevented by pretreatment of the cells with 1 mM N-ethylmalei...
متن کاملSoluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive-factor attachment protein and N-ethylmaleimide-insensitive factors are required for Ca2+-stimulated exocytosis of insulin.
Ca2+ stimulates exocytosis in permeabilized insulin-secreting cells. To investigate the putative cytosolic components involved in the Ca2+ response, HIT-T15 cells (a pancreatic B-cell line) were permeabilized with streptolysin-O, a procedure that allows rapid exchange of soluble components including macromolecules. We found that in this cell preparation the secretory response to Ca2+ but not to...
