Pore-forming ability of major outer membrane proteins from Wolinella recta ATCC 33238.
Three major outer membrane proteins with apparent molecular masses of 43, 45, and 51 kDa were purified from Wolinella recta ATCC 33238, and their pore-forming abilities were determined by the black lipid bilayer method. The non-heat-modifiable 45-kDa protein (Omp 45) showed no pore-forming activity even at high KCl concentrations. The single-channel conductances in 1 M KCl of the heat-modifiabl...
متن کاملCloning and characterization of two bistructural S-layer-RTX proteins from Campylobacter rectus.
Campylobacter rectus is an important periodontal pathogen in humans. A surface-layer (S-layer) protein and a cytotoxic activity have been characterized and are thought to be its major virulence factors. The cytotoxic activity was suggested to be due to a pore-forming protein toxin belonging to the RTX (repeats in the structural toxins) family. In the present work, two closely related genes, csx...
متن کاملAntigenic analysis of Campylobacter flagellar protein and other proteins.
Outer membrane proteins of Campylobacter jejuni and other campylobacter species were analyzed for their antigenic potentials by immunoblotting. Polypeptides were resolved by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, transferred electrophoretically, and reacted with rabbit antisera to C. jejuni. Each Campylobacter species analyzed demonstrated a unique outer membrane protein ant...
متن کاملUse of defined mutants to assess the role of the Campylobacter rectus S-layer in bacterium-epithelial cell interactions.
Campylobacter rectus is a periodontal pathogen with a 150-kDa protein on its cell surface. This protein forms a paracrystalline lattice, called the S-layer, surrounding the outer membrane of this gram-negative bacterium. To initiate a genetic analysis of the possible role of the S-layer in the initial interaction of C. rectus with host epithelial cells, C. rectus strains lacking the S-layer pro...
متن کاملA new member of the S-layer protein family: characterization of the crs gene from Campylobacter rectus.
Strains of the periodontal pathogen Campylobacter rectus express a 150- to 166-kDa protein on their cell surface. This protein forms a paracrystalline lattice, called the surface layer (S-layer), on the outer membrane of this gram-negative bacterium. To initiate a genetic analysis of the function of the S-layer in the pathogenesis of C. rectus, we have cloned and characterized its gene. The S-l...
