The production of cholera toxin (CT) during Vibrio cholerae infection results in the hallmark diarrhea that characterizes the disease cholera. The transmembrane protein ToxR was originally identified as a functional transcriptional activator of ctxAB in a heterologous Escherichia coli system. However, direct ToxR activation of the ctxAB promoter in V. cholerae has not been previously demonstrat...
cholera is an infection of the small intestines caused by the bacterium v. cholerae. it is a major cause of health threat and also a major cause of death worldwide and especially in developing countries. the major virulence factor produced by v. cholerae during infection is the cholera toxin. total mrna extraction and reverse transcription was performed for making ctxab cdna. relative real-time...
In Vibrio cholerae, the transmembrane DNA binding proteins, ToxR and TcpP, activate expression of the regulatory gene toxT in response to specific environmental signals. The resulting enhanced level of ToxT leads to a coordinated increase in the production of a subset of virulence factors, including cholera toxin (CT) and toxin-coregulated pilus (TCP). The effect of anaerobiosis on expression o...
The genes encoding cholera toxin (CT), ctxAB, are coregulated with those for other Vibrio cholerae virulence factors by a cascade of transcriptional activators, including ToxR, TcpP, and ToxT. Additional regulators that modulate expression of ctxAB during infection were recently identified in a genetic selection. A transposon insertion in vieS, the sensor kinase of the VieSAB three-component si...
Vibrio cholerae El Tor require special in vitro culture conditions, consisting of an initial static growth period followed by shift to shaking (AKI conditions), for expression of cholera toxin (CT) and toxin coregulated pili (TCP). ToxT, a regulator whose initial transcription depends on the ToxR regulator, positively modulates expression of CT and TCP. To help understand control of CT and TCP ...
Co-ordinate expression of genes associated with pathogenicity in Vibrio cholerae requires two transcription activators, ToxR and ToxT. Work carried out to date suggests that ToxR activates transcription of the toxT gene and that ToxT directly activates transcription of several genes whose products play a role in colonization or CT production by V. cholerae. Previous work also suggests that ToxR...
Vibrio cholerae is a Gram-negative bacillus that is the causative agent of cholera. Pathogenesis in vivo occurs through a series of spatiotemporally controlled events under the control of a gene cascade termed the ToxR regulon. Major genes in the ToxR regulon include the master regulators toxRS and tcpPH, the downstream regulator toxT, and virulence factors, the ctxAB and tcpA operons. Our curr...
Bile induces pleiotropic responses that affect production of virulence factors, motility, and other phenotypes in the enteric pathogen Vibrio cholerae. Since bile is a heterogeneous mixture, crude bile was fractionated, and the components that mediate virulence gene repression and enhancement of motility were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance, gas chromatography (GC), and GC-mass spectro...
Molecular epidemiology of Vibrio cholerae O139 in China: polymorphism of ribotypes and CTX elements.
Vibrio cholerae O139, the second etiological serogroup of cholera, triggered the first outbreak of O139 cholera in China in 1993. To analyze the clone polymorphism of O139 isolates in China, 117 strains of V. cholerae O139, isolated from different areas in China between 1993 and 1999, were selected to characterize the phylogenetic relationships by molecular techniques. Analysis of restriction f...
The contribution of accessory toxins to the acute inflammatory response to Vibrio cholerae was assessed in a murine pulmonary model. Intranasal administration of an El Tor O1 V. cholerae strain deleted of cholera toxin genes (ctxAB) caused diffuse pneumonia characterized by infiltration of PMNs, tissue damage, and hemorrhage. By contrast, the ctxAB mutant with an additional deletion in the acti...
