Cyclic Diguanylate Signaling Proteins Control Intracellular Growth of Legionella pneumophila
Proteins that metabolize or bind the nucleotide second messenger cyclic diguanylate regulate a wide variety of important processes in bacteria. These processes include motility, biofilm formation, cell division, differentiation, and virulence. The role of cyclic diguanylate signaling in the lifestyle of Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease, has not previously bee...
متن کاملKininogens are antithrombotic proteins In vivo.
Kininogens have recently been shown to possess antiadhesive, anticoagulant, and profibrinolytic properties and can inhibit platelet activation at low thrombin concentrations. To test whether kininogens have antithrombotic properties in vivo, we devised a model of limited arterial injury confined to removal of the endothelium. Brown-Norway Katholiek strain rats with an absence of low- and high-m...
متن کاملDistal elements are critical for human CD34 expression in vivo.
The elements regulating gene expression in hematopoietic stem cells are still poorly understood. We previously reported that a 141-kilobase (kb) human CD34 transgene confers properly regulated human CD34 expression in transgenic mice. A construct with only the human CD34 promoter and 3' enhancer region is not sufficient, suggesting that critical distal elements are necessary for expression of t...
متن کاملThe Legionella pneumophila PilT homologue DotB exhibits ATPase activity that is critical for intracellular growth.
The ability of Legionella pneumophila to grow and cause disease in the host is completely dependent on a type IV secretion system known as the Dot/Icm complex. This membrane-spanning apparatus translocates effector molecules into host cells in a process that is poorly understood but that is known to require the putative ATPase DotB. One possible role for DotB is suggested by its similarity to t...
متن کاملLiquid medium for growth of Legionella pneumophila.
The medium described is a simple yeast extract broth capable of growing large number of Legionella neumophila, the causative organism of Legionnaires disease. Filtration was chosen as a means of sterilization, since medium that was autoclaved did not support growth without the presence of Norite A. The filtered medium gave rapid cell growth and maintained the initial antigen production. The obs...
