Secretion of an acid phosphatase (SapM) by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that is similar to eukaryotic acid phosphatases.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis secretes a large number of polypeptides with broad biological and immunological functions. We describe here the characterization of a 28-kDa acid phosphatase of M. tuberculosis (SapM) localized to the culture filtrate. The mature protein demonstrated biochemical characteristics similar to those of the bacterial nonspecific acid phosphatases. However, SapM yielded sign...
متن کاملMoraxella catarrhalis synthesizes an autotransporter that is an acid phosphatase.
Moraxella catarrhalis O35E was shown to synthesize a 105-kDa protein that has similarity to both acid phosphatases and autotransporters. The N-terminal portion of the M. catarrhalis acid phosphatase A (MapA) was most similar (the BLAST probability score was 10(-10)) to bacterial class A nonspecific acid phosphatases. The central region of the MapA protein had similarity to passenger domains of ...
متن کاملLocalized Secretion of Acid Phosphatase
Secretion of cell wall-bound acid phosphatase by Saccharomyces cerevisiae occurs along a restricted portion of the cell surface. Acid phosphatase activity produced during derepressed synthesis on a phosphate-limited growth medium is detected with an enzymespecific stain and is localized initially to the bud portion of a dividing cell . After two to three generations of phosphate-limited growth,...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of Nicotinic Acid by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis.
Although the bacterium Xanthomonas pruni utilizes the classic "tryptophan pathway" to synthesize nicotinic acid (Wilson and Henderson, J. Bacteriol. 85:221, 1963), evidence is accumulating that most bacteria do not exhibit a tryptophan-nicotinic acid relationship. The absence of such a relationship in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis was reported by Yanofsky (J. Bacteriol. 68:577, 1954). ...
متن کاملSecreted Acid Phosphatase (SapM) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Is Indispensable for Arresting Phagosomal Maturation and Growth of the Pathogen in Guinea Pig Tissues
Tuberculosis (TB) is responsible for nearly 1.4 million deaths globally every year and continues to remain a serious threat to human health. The problem is further complicated by the growing incidence of multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB), emphasizing the need for the development of new drugs against this disease. Phagosomal maturation arrest is an import...
