Dissociation and Reassociation of Bacterial Membrane Components
The dissociation of the phospholipid, lipopolysaccharide, and protein components of the bacterial cell envelope results in loss of enzyme activities which are normally located in the cell envelope structure and which are involved in lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis. The activity of one of these enzymes, UDP-galactose:lipopolysaccharide alpha,3 galactosyl transferase, can be restored by the reass...
متن کاملBrucella dissociation is essential for macrophage egress and bacterial dissemination
It has long been observed that smooth Brucella can dissociate into rough mutants that are cytotoxic to macrophages. However, the in vivo biological significance and/or mechanistic details of Brucella dissociation and cytotoxicity remain incomplete. In the current report, a plaque assay was developed using Brucella strains exhibiting varying degrees of cytotoxicity. Infected monolayers were obse...
متن کاملFacilitated Dissociation of a Nucleoid Protein from the Bacterial Chromosome.
UNLABELLED Off-rates of proteins from the DNA double helix are widely considered to be dependent only on the interactions inside the initially bound protein-DNA complex and not on the concentration of nearby molecules. However, a number of recent single-DNA experiments have shown off-rates that depend on solution protein concentration, or "facilitated dissociation." Here, we demonstrate that th...
متن کاملDissociation of Tissue Destruction and Bacterial Expansion during Bubonic Plague
Activation and/or recruitment of the host plasmin, a fibrinolytic enzyme also active on extracellular matrix components, is a common invasive strategy of bacterial pathogens. Yersinia pestis, the bubonic plague agent, expresses the multifunctional surface protease Pla, which activates plasmin and inactivates fibrinolysis inhibitors. Pla is encoded by the pPla plasmid. Following intradermal inoc...
متن کاملDissociation of the Biological Properties of Bacterial Endotoxin by Chemical Modification of the Molecule
The preparation and properties of three fractions isolated from the acetylation of endotoxin by acetic anhydride in the presence of anhydrous sodium acetate are described. One fraction is of primary interest for it allows the experimental dissociation of some of the myriad biological activities of the parent endotoxin. Pyrogenicity and acute toxicity are markedly reduced, and ability to confer ...
