Staphylococcus aureus is part of the indigenous microbiota of humans. Sometimes, S. aureus bacteria enter the bloodstream, where they form infections on implanted cardiovascular devices. A critical, first step in such infections is a bond that forms between fibronectin-binding protein (FnBP) on S. aureus and host proteins, such as fibronectin (Fn), that coat the surface of implants in vivo. In ...
Fibroblasts have cell surface sites that mediate assembly of plasma and cellular fibronectin into the extracellular matrix. Cell adhesion to fibronectin can be mediated by the interaction of an integrin (alpha 5 beta 1) with the Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS)-containing cell adhesion region of fibronectin. We have attempted to elucidate the role of the alpha 5 beta 1 fibronectin receptor in assembly of...
The interaction between human fibronectin and 17 strains of staphylococci was studied in an attempt to elucidate the staphylococcal cell wall component(s) involved in fibronectin binding and to determine the influence of fibronectin upon phagocytosis by three types of phagocytic cells. Purified, radiolabeled fibronectin bound to a similar degree to six laboratory strains and three fresh clinica...
N(G)-Methylation of arginine residues in many nucleic-acid-binding proteins are formed post-translationally, catalysed by S-adenosylmethionine:protein-arginine N-methyltransferase in their glycine-rich and arginine-rich motifs. The amino acid sequences of the stimulator of HIV-1 TAR (Tat-responsive element) RNA-binding protein (SRB) and fibronectin also show the presence of the internal -Gly-Ar...
Streptococcus pyogenes secretes several proteins that influence host-pathogen interactions. A tissue-culture model was used to study the influence of the secreted cysteine protease streptococcal erythrogenic toxin B (SPE B) on the interaction between S. pyogenes strain NZ131 (serotype M49) and mammalian cells. Inactivation of the speB gene enhanced fibronectin-dependent uptake of the pathogen b...
Changes in the conformational state of human plasma fibronectin and several of its fragments were studied by fluorescence emission, intrinsic fluorescence polarization and c.d. spectroscopy under conditions of guanidinium chloride-and temperature-induced unfolding. Fragments were chosen to represent all three types of internal structural homology in the protein. Low concentration (less than 2 M...
Collagen and fibronectin are major components of vertebrate extracellular matrices. Their association and distribution control the development and properties of diverse tissues, but thus far no structural information has been available for the complex formed. Here, we report binding of a peptide, derived from the alpha(1) chain of type I collagen, to the gelatin-binding domain of human fibronec...
Fibronectin-binding protein I (SfbI) represents a major adhesin of Streptococcus pyogenes. Mice were intranasally immunized with recombinant proteins spanning different portions of SfbI to identify the minimal fragment able to elicit a protective response against a lethal challenge with S. pyogenes. The strongest cellular responses and the highest levels of antigen-specific secretory immunoglob...
Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, a commensal and pathogen of dogs and occasionally of humans, expresses surface proteins potentially involved in host colonization and pathogenesis. Here, we describe the cloning and characterization of SpsD, a surface protein of S. pseudintermedius reported as interacting with extracellular matrix proteins and corneocytes. A ligand screen and Western immunoblott...
Latex beads (0.8-micron diameter; Difco Laboratories) were coated with fibronectin, fibrinogen, collagen type I, or denatured collagen (gelatin) and evaluated in a particle agglutination assay (PAA) for the rapid detection of fibronectin, fibrinogen, or collagen binding to Staphylococcus aureus. These assays were compared with a commercial test for detecting the binding of fibrinogen and immuno...
