First identification of proteins involved in motility of Mycoplasma gallisepticum
Mycoplasma gallisepticum, the most pathogenic mycoplasma in poultry, is able to glide over solid surfaces. Although this gliding motility was first observed in 1968, no specific protein has yet been shown to be involved in gliding. We examined M. gallisepticum strains and clonal variants for motility and found that the cytadherence proteins GapA and CrmA were required for gliding. Loss of GapA ...
متن کاملAvian mycoplasmosis (Mycoplasma gallisepticum).
Mycoplasma gallisepticum is the most economically significant mycoplasma pathogen of poultry, and has a world-wide distribution. In common with other mycoplasmas, M. gallisepticum is minute in size with minimal genetic information and with a total lack of a bacterial cell wall. These properties are reflected in a high degree of interdependence between M. gallisepticum and the host animal, and i...
متن کاملNeuraminidase activity in Mycoplasma gallisepticum.
The whole viable Mycoplasma gallisepticum (strain TT) organisms were found to possess neuraminidase activity with a pH optimum of 5.8 on substrates such as human transferrin, human alpha(1)-glycoprotein, and rabbit serum. The enzyme operated optimally at pH 4.5 when N-acetylneuraminyl-lactose was used as the test substrate.
متن کاملProfiling of Mycoplasma gallisepticum Ribosomes.
The development of high-throughput technologies is increasingly resulting in identification of numerous cases of low correlation between mRNA and the protein level in cells. These controversial observations were made on various bacteria, such as E. coli, Desulfovibrio vulgaris, and Lactococcus lactis. Thus, it is important to develop technologies, including high-throughput techniques, aimed at ...
متن کاملPhase Transition of the Bacterium upon Invasion of a Host Cell as a Mechanism of Adaptation: a Mycoplasma gallisepticum Model
What strategies do bacteria employ for adaptation to their hosts and are these strategies different for varied hosts? To date, many studies on the interaction of the bacterium and its host have been published. However, global changes in the bacterial cell in the process of invasion and persistence, remain poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrated phase transition of the avian pathogen M...
