Treponema pallidum fibronectin-binding proteins.
Putative adhesins were predicted by computer analysis of the Treponema pallidum genome. Two treponemal proteins, Tp0155 and Tp0483, demonstrated specific attachment to fibronectin, blocked bacterial adherence to fibronectin-coated slides, and supported attachment of fibronectin-producing mammalian cells. These results suggest Tp0155 and Tp0483 are fibronectin-binding proteins mediating T. palli...
متن کاملTreponema pallidum receptor binding proteins interact with fibronectin
Analysis of plasma proteins avidly bound to T. pallidum surfaces revealed the ability of T. pallidum to acquire numerous host macromolecules. No acquisition was evident by the avirulent spirochete, T. phagedenis biotype Reiter. Western blotting technology using hyperimmune antifibronectin serum as a probe revealed the ability of virulent treponemes to avidly bind fibronectin from a complex medi...
متن کاملPenicillin-binding proteins and peptidoglycan of Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum.
Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) of Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum (T. pallidum) were characterized by using [3H]penicillin G and a conjugate consisting of ampicillin and 125I-labeled Bolton-Hunter reagent. Both antibiotics specifically radiolabeled proteins with molecular masses of 94, 80, 63, and 58 kilodaltons (kDa); 125I-labeled Bolton-Hunter reagent-ampicillin also radiolabeled sever...
متن کاملMolecular cloning of Treponema pallidum outer envelope fibronectin binding proteins , P 1 and P 2 KENNETH
Phages directing the synthesis of Treponema pallidum fibronectin binding adhesin proteins, P1 and P2,' were isolated from an EMBL-3 bacteriophage lambda library of T pallidum deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The recombinant phages were identified using antisera generated to treponemal proteins purified in fibronectin-Sepharose. Recombinant P1 and P2 proteins possessed the same relative molecular we...
متن کاملFibronectin mediates Treponema pallidum cytadherence through recognition of fibronectin cell-binding domain
The specificity of the interaction between Treponema pallidum and fibronectin was demonstrated. Treatment of host cells with only antifibronectin sera and not anticollagen or antilaminin sera, inhibited treponemal cytadsorption. Incubation of fibronectin-coated coverslips with monoclonal antibody to the cell-binding domain of fibronectin reduced treponemal attachment to the same extent as antif...
