Cyclic di-GMP-mediated repression of swarming motility by Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14 requires the MotAB stator.
The second messenger cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) plays a critical role in the regulation of motility. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14, c-di-GMP inversely controls biofilm formation and surface swarming motility, with high levels of this dinucleotide signal stimulating biofilm formation and repressing swarming. P. aeruginosa encodes two stator complexes, MotAB and MotCD, that participate in the...
متن کاملFlagellin glycosylation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAK requires the O-antigen biosynthesis enzyme WbpO.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAK (serotype O6) produces a single polar, glycosylated flagellum composed of a-type flagellin. To determine whether or not flagellin glycosylation in this serotype requires O-antigen genes, flagellin was isolated from the wild type, three O-antigen-deficient mutants wbpL, wbpO, and wbpP, and a wbpO mutant complemented with a plasmid containing a wild-type copy of wbpO. F...
متن کاملThe cornea-destroying enzyme of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The harvest media from five strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa collected from severe clinical infections did not contain a collagenase. Instead, an enzyme was isolated that could degrade the ground substance of the cornea. Partial purification of this enzyme indicated that it was the only enzyme in the harvest media that cotdd destroy the rabbit cornea after intralamellar injection. Na2EDTA comp...
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa exhibits directed twitching motility up phosphatidylethanolamine gradients.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa translocates over solid surfaces by a type IV pilus-dependent form of multicellular motility known as twitching. We wondered whether cells utilize endogenous factors to organize twitching, and we purified from wild-type cells a lipid that caused directed movement. Wild-type P. aeruginosa, but not a pilJ pilus-deficient mutant, showed biased movement up gradients of phosph...
متن کاملFlagella, motility and invasive virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The role of motility as a virulence factor in Pseudomonas aeruginosa burn wound sepsis was examined using mutants deficient in the Fla or Mot phenotype. Physiological profiles of parental strains and Fla- and Mot- mutants were similar with respect to antibiograms, O antigen types, growth rates, and proteolytic, exotoxin A and phospholipase activities, providing evidence for isogenicity. Lethali...
