Chlamydia trachomatis is the leading cause of bacterial sexually transmitted diseases worldwide. Urogenital strains are classified into serotypes and genotypes based on the major outer membrane protein and its gene, ompA, respectively. Studies of the association of serotypes with clinical signs and symptoms have produced conflicting results while no studies have evaluated associations with ompA...
Coxiella burnetii is the agent of the emerging zoonosis Q fever. This pathogen invades phagocytic and non-phagocytic cells and uses a Dot/Icm secretion system to co-opt the endocytic pathway for the biogenesis of an acidic parasitophorous vacuole where Coxiella replicates in large numbers. The study of the cell biology of Coxiella infections has been severely hampered by the obligate intracellu...
E. coli O157:H7, one of the major EHEC serotypes, is capable of developing bloody diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis (HC), and fatal hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and is accompanied by high annual economic loss worldwide. Due to the increased risk of HC and HUS development following antibiotic therapy, the prevention of infections caused by this pathogen is considered to be one of the most effecti...
The outer membrane protein OmpA of Escherichia coli K-12 serves as a receptor for a number of T-even-like phages. We have isolated a series of ompA mutants which are resistant to such phages but which still produce the OmpA protein. None of the mutants was able to either irreversibly or reversibly bind the phage with which they had been selected. Also, the OmpA protein is required for the actio...
The folding mechanism of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) of Gram-negative bacteria into lipid bilayers has been studied using OmpA of E. coli and FomA of F. nucleatum as examples. Both, OmpA and FomA are soluble in unfolded form in urea and insert and fold into phospholipid bilayers upon strong dilution of the denaturant urea. OmpA is a structural protein and forms a small ion channel, composed ...
Outer membrane protein A (OmpA) of Escherichia coli is a beta-barrel membrane protein that unfolds in 8 M urea to a random coil. OmpA refolds upon urea dilution in the presence of certain detergents or lipids. To examine the minimal requirements for secondary and tertiary structure formation in beta-barrel membrane proteins, folding of OmpA was studied as a function of the hydrophobic chain len...
The onset and progressive pathogenesis of periodontal disease is thought to be initiated by the entry of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) into periodontal tissue, especially gingival epithelium. Nonetheless, the mechanism underlying such bacterial entry remains to be clarified. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the possible role of Aa outer membrane protein 29 kD (Omp29), a h...
Esherichia coli, the most common gram-negative bacteria, can penetrate the brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) during the neonatal period to cause meningitis with significant morbidity and mortality. Experimental studies have shown that outer-membrane protein A (OmpA) of E. coli plays a key role in the initial steps of the invasion process by binding to specific sugar moieties present...
In November 2017, a group of farmed rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) died in Yunnan Province, China, likely due to infection. These exhibited slow movement, no feeding, dark body color, exophthalmia, and occasional ulcers on the surface. Pathogens were isolated from diseased livers, head kidneys, spleens, eyes, strain was preliminarily identified as Acinetobacter johnsonii based morphology, ...
The outer membrane protein (Omp) A is a major constituent of the outer membrane of Escherichia coli. This protein has been used in several vaccine development studies, but seldom with a view to vaccinating against mastitis. The objective of this study was to investigate the immunogenicity of E. coli OmpA and its vaccine potential for cows. Both the humoral and cellular immune responses were inv...
