Outer Membrane Vesicle Production Facilitates LPS Remodeling and Outer Membrane Maintenance in Salmonella during Environmental Transitions
The ability of Gram-negative bacteria to carefully modulate outer membrane (OM) composition is essential to their survival. However, the asymmetric and heterogeneous structure of the Gram-negative OM poses unique challenges to the cell's successful adaption to rapid environmental transitions. Although mechanisms to recycle and degrade OM phospholipid material exist, there is no known mechanism ...
متن کاملbiological and immunological evaluation of neisseria meningitidis serogroup a outer membrane vesicle as vaccine candidates
conclusions the results showed that the extracted omvs were conformationally stable, and there were no pyrogenic determinants in omv. also the results showed that the omv elicited high level of specific antibodies against n. meningitidis serogroup a. these results indicate that the omv obtained here, can be used as a meningococcal vaccine after further investigation. materials and methods omvs ...
متن کاملTransportDB: a comprehensive database resource for cytoplasmic membrane transport systems and outer membrane channels
TransportDB (http://www.membranetransport.org/) is a comprehensive database resource of information on cytoplasmic membrane transporters and outer membrane channels in organisms whose complete genome sequences are available. The complete set of membrane transport systems and outer membrane channels of each organism are annotated based on a series of experimental and bioinformatic evidence and c...
متن کاملA Bilayer-Couple Model of Bacterial Outer Membrane Vesicle Biogenesis
UNLABELLED Gram-negative bacteria naturally produce outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) that arise through bulging and pinching off of the outer membrane. OMVs have several biological functions for bacteria, most notably as trafficking vehicles for toxins, antimicrobials, and signaling molecules. While their biological roles are now appreciated, the mechanism of OMV formation has not been fully eluc...
متن کاملDNA Inversion Regulates Outer Membrane Vesicle Production in Bacteroides fragilis
Phase changes in Bacteroides fragilis, a member of the human colonic microbiota, mediate variations in a vast array of cell surface molecules, such as capsular polysaccharides and outer membrane proteins through DNA inversion. The results of the present study show that outer membrane vesicle (OMV) formation in this anaerobe is also controlled by DNA inversions at two distantly localized promote...
