Vibrio cholerae pathogenesis
Taken together, these studies indicate that a mature form of VirG, probably lacking a carboxyterminal portion, can interact with F-actin. Recently, we have used antibody that recognizes the aminoterminal but not the carboxyterminal portion of VirG to detect secreted VirG and F-actin-associated VirG in intracellular bacteria, and the results from these studies further support this view. If the c...
متن کاملVibrio cholerae Biofilms and Cholera Pathogenesis
Vibrio cholerae can switch between motile and biofilm lifestyles. The last decades have been marked by a remarkable increase in our knowledge of the structure, regulation, and function of biofilms formed under laboratory conditions. Evidence has grown suggesting that V. cholerae can form biofilm-like aggregates during infection that could play a critical role in pathogenesis and disease transmi...
متن کاملA novel regulatory protein involved in motility of Vibrio cholerae.
The facultative pathogen Vibrio cholerae is the causative agent of the human intestinal disease cholera. Both motility and chemotaxis of V. cholerae have been shown to contribute to the virulence and spread of cholera. The flagellar gene operons are organized into a hierarchy composed of four classes (I to IV) based on their temporal expression patterns. Some regulatory elements involved in fla...
متن کاملVibrio cholerae H-NS silences virulence gene expression at multiple steps in the ToxR regulatory cascade.
H-NS is an abundant nucleoid-associated protein involved in the maintenance of chromosomal architecture in bacteria. H-NS also has a role in silencing the expression of a variety of environmentally regulated genes during growth under nonpermissive conditions. In this study we demonstrate a role for H-NS in the negative modulation of expression of several genes within the ToxR virulence regulon ...
متن کاملA Periplasmic Polymer Curves Vibrio cholerae and Promotes Pathogenesis
Pathogenic Vibrio cholerae remains a major human health concern. V. cholerae has a characteristic curved rod morphology, with a longer outer face and a shorter inner face. The mechanism and function of this curvature were previously unknown. Here, we identify and characterize CrvA, the first curvature determinant in V. cholerae. CrvA self-assembles into filaments at the inner face of cell curva...
