Fibronectin mediates Treponema pallidum cytadherence through recognition of fibronectin cell-binding domain
The specificity of the interaction between Treponema pallidum and fibronectin was demonstrated. Treatment of host cells with only antifibronectin sera and not anticollagen or antilaminin sera, inhibited treponemal cytadsorption. Incubation of fibronectin-coated coverslips with monoclonal antibody to the cell-binding domain of fibronectin reduced treponemal attachment to the same extent as antif...
متن کاملTreponema pallidum fibronectin-binding proteins.
Putative adhesins were predicted by computer analysis of the Treponema pallidum genome. Two treponemal proteins, Tp0155 and Tp0483, demonstrated specific attachment to fibronectin, blocked bacterial adherence to fibronectin-coated slides, and supported attachment of fibronectin-producing mammalian cells. These results suggest Tp0155 and Tp0483 are fibronectin-binding proteins mediating T. palli...
متن کاملTreponema pallidum receptor binding proteins interact with fibronectin
Analysis of plasma proteins avidly bound to T. pallidum surfaces revealed the ability of T. pallidum to acquire numerous host macromolecules. No acquisition was evident by the avirulent spirochete, T. phagedenis biotype Reiter. Western blotting technology using hyperimmune antifibronectin serum as a probe revealed the ability of virulent treponemes to avidly bind fibronectin from a complex medi...

Phages directing the synthesis of Treponema pallidum fibronectin binding adhesin proteins, P1 and P2,' were isolated from an EMBL-3 bacteriophage lambda library of T pallidum deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The recombinant phages were identified using antisera generated to treponemal proteins purified in fibronectin-Sepharose. Recombinant P1 and P2 proteins possessed the same relative molecular we...
متن کاملStaphylococcus aureus Fibronectin-Binding Protein A Mediates Cell-Cell Adhesion through Low-Affinity Homophilic Bonds
UNLABELLED Staphylococcus aureus is an important opportunistic pathogen which is a leading cause of biofilm-associated infections on indwelling medical devices. The cell surface-located fibronectin-binding protein A (FnBPA) plays an important role in the accumulation phase of biofilm formation by methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), but the underlying molecular interactions are not yet estab...
