Pseudomonas aeruginosa hemolytic phospholipase C suppresses neutrophil respiratory burst activity.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a persistent pathogen in the airways of patients with cystic fibrosis or bronchiectasis from other causes and appears to have evolved strategies to survive the inflammatory response of the host. We hypothesized that the secreted hemolytic phospholipase C (PLC) of P. aeruginosa (PlcHR) would decrease neutrophil respiratory burst activity. We found that while intact wild...
متن کاملPlcR1 and PlcR2 are putative calcium-binding proteins required for secretion of the hemolytic phospholipase C of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The plcHR operon of Pseudomonas aeruginosa includes the structural gene for the hemolytic phospholipase C,plcH (previously known as plcS), and two overlapping, in-phase, genes designated plcR1 and plcR2. Hemolytic and phospholipase C (PLC) activities produced by Escherichia coli and P. aeruginosa T7 expression systems were measured in strains carrying both plcH and plcR genes and in strains car...
متن کاملSecretion of elastinolytic enzymes and their propeptides by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Elastase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is synthesized as a preproenzyme. The signal sequence is cleaved off during transport across the inner membrane and, in the periplasm, proelastase is further processed. We demonstrate that the propeptide and the mature elastase are both secreted but that the propeptide is degraded extracellularly. In addition, reduction of the extracellular proteolytic activit...
متن کاملA Pseudomonas aeruginosa type VI secretion phospholipase D effector targets both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Widely found in animal and plant-associated proteobacteria, type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) are potentially capable of facilitating diverse interactions with eukaryotes and/or other bacteria. Pseudomonas aeruginosa encodes three distinct T6SS haemolysin coregulated protein (Hcp) secretion islands (H1, H2, and H3-T6SS), each involved in different aspects of the bacterium's interaction with oth...
متن کاملMolecular comparison of a nonhemolytic and a hemolytic phospholipase C from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces two secreted phospholipase C (PLC) enzymes. The expression of both PLCs is regulated by Pi. One of the PLCs is hemolytic, and one is nonhemolytic. Low-stringency hybridization studies suggested that the genes encoding these two PLCs shared DNA homology. This information was used to clone plcN, the gene encoding the 77-kilodalton nonhemolytic PLC, PLC-N. A fragmen...
