Functional Analysis of Burkholderia Secretory Virulence Factors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Proteins of B. pseudomallei and B. cepacia involved in virulence and survival were demonstrated using proteomic analysis of stationary phase bacterial culture supernatants. Host response to live B. pseudomallei and B. cepacia and their secretory proteins have provided further insights into bacterial virulence.

Identification of immunoreactive secretory proteins from the stationary phase culture of Burkholderia pseudomallei.
Bacterial secreted proteins are known to be involved in virulence and may mediate important host-pathogen interactions. In this study, when the stationary phase culture supernatant of Burkholderia pseudomallei was subjected to 2-DE, 113 protein spots were detected. Fifty-four of the secreted proteins, which included metabolic enzymes, transcription/translation regulators, potential virulence fa...
متن کاملGenome-Wide Analysis of Type VI System Clusters and Effectors in Burkholderia Species
Type VI secretion system (T6SS) has been discovered in a variety of gram-negative bacteria as a versatile weapon to stimulate the killing of eukaryotic cells or prokaryotic competitors. Type VI secretion effectors (T6SEs) are well known as key virulence factors for important pathogenic bacteria. In many Burkholderia species, T6SS has evolved as the most complicated secretion pathway with distin...
متن کاملComparative metabolic systems analysis of pathogenic Burkholderia.
Burkholderia cenocepacia and Burkholderia multivorans are opportunistic drug-resistant pathogens that account for the majority of Burkholderia cepacia complex infections in cystic fibrosis patients and also infect other immunocompromised individuals. While they share similar genetic compositions, B. cenocepacia and B. multivorans exhibit important differences in pathogenesis. We have developed ...
متن کاملAn extracellular zinc metalloprotease gene of Burkholderia cepacia.
Burkholderia cepacia produces at least one extracellular zinc metalloprotease that may be involved in virulence. A B. cepacia zinc metalloprotease gene was cloned using a Burkholderia pseudomallei zinc metalloprotease gene as a probe. The predicted amino acid sequences of these B. cepacia and a B. pseudomallei extracellular zinc metalloproteases indicate that they are similar to the thermolysin...
متن کاملPqsA is required for the biosynthesis of 2,4-dihydroxyquinoline (DHQ), a newly identified metabolite produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Burkholderia thailandensis.
A new metabolite, 2,4-dihydroxyquinoline (DHQ), was identified in cultures of the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Burkholderia thailandensis. We found that the biosynthesis of DHQ correlates with the presence of a functional PqsA, which is a product of the pqsABCDE operon responsible for the synthesis of 4-hydroxy-2-alkylquinolines (HAQs) in P. aeruginosa. However, DHQ is not a degradation ...
