    Notes: Two major 60kD protein species can be separated by differential detergent extraction in Chlamydia spp. A Sarkosyl-soluble 60kD protein is (i) structurally and antigenically distinct from the previously characterized 60kD Omp2 outer membrane protein; and (ii) antigenically related to a bacterial common antigen of similar molecular weight which includes a 65 kD myco-bacterial antigen and the GroEL heat-shook protein of Escherichia coli. Among GroEL homologues, the chlamydial protein (chl-GroEL) uniquely displays affinity towards immobilized thiol groups. The significance of this property is discussed with respect to the synthesis and assembly of the chlamydial disulphide-rich cell wall late in the growth cycle. Chl-GroEL is identical to the Triton X-100-soluble, ocular delayed-type hypersensitivity agent (Morrison et al., 1989), an essential component in the development of blinding trachoma. An autoimmune mechanism for chronic chlamydial diseases based on chl-GroEL homology to host proteins is hypothesized.

    Notes: The nucleotide sequence of the structural gene for filamentous haemagglutinin (FHA), fhaB, a crucial adherence factor for Bordetella perfussis, has been determined. Its 10774 nucleotides are far more than necessary to encode the 220kD biologically active, mature polypeptide product, suggesting a role for co-or post-translational processing. Fusion proteins derived from various portions of the fhaB open reading frame (ORF) were used to generate polyclonal antisera. Western immunoblot analysis of purified FHA and Bordetella sp. whole cell extracts with these antisera indicated that the 220kD product is encoded by the 5 portion of the ORF and that the smaller polypeptide species are breakdown products of this polypeptide. These data, as well as N-terminal amino acid sequencing of the major polypeptide species, suggest a scheme for the proteolytic processing of an FHA precursor polypeptide.

    Notes: The inv locus of Yersinia enterocolitica is sufficient to convert a non-invasive Escherichia coli K12 strain into a microorganism that is able to penetrate cultured mammalian cells. The nucleotide sequence of inv reveals an open reading frame corresponding to an 835-amino-acid protein that is homologous to the invasin protein from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. A polyclonal antiserum elicited by a synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal 88 amino acids of this open reading frame detected a unique 100kD protein in cell lysates of Y. enterocolitica strain 8081c and in an E. coli strain harbouring the cloned inv gene. This protein localized to the outer membranes of both microorganisms and was cleaved by low concentrations of extracellular trypsin. HEp-2 cells were shown to attach to surfaces coated with bacterial outer membranes containing invasin and this attachment was destroyed by treatment of the membranes with trypsin. Thus it appears that the invasin protein from Y. enterocolitica is able to mediate both attachment to and entry of cultured epithelial cells.

    Notes: The effect of temperature on coagulase and fibrinolysin expression (Pla) by Yersinia pestis has been implicated in the transmission of plague by fleas. In an attempt to improve our understanding of this process, we have cloned, sequenced and characterized the gene encoding the Pla phenotypes in Y. pestis, and examined its temperature-dependent regulation. The coding region for this gene overlaps a 900bp Y. pestis-specific DNA fragment that we have previously shown to be capable of detecting plague bacilli in fleas. The pla gene contains a single open reading frame encoding 312 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 34.7 kD and a putative signal sequence of 20 amino acids. This coding region appears to be sufficient for both coagulase and fibrinolytic activities. In Y. pestis, modulation between coagulase and fibrinolytic activities is temperature-dependent: coagulase activity is most evident at temperatures below 30°C but fibrinolytic activity increases with higher temperatures (〉30°C), regardless of the temperature at which the bacteria are grown. Our results lead us to believe that this regulation occurs post-translationally. It is possible that the alternative forms of the Pla protein are essential to ‘flea blockage’ and subsequent transmission of the plague bacillus to animals.

    Notes: Aprotein II (P.II) gene from Neisseria gonorrhoeae was cloned in Escherichia coli and characterized by DNA sequence analysis. As with other reported P.II sequences, this gene contains an ATG initiation codon which is out of frame with respect to the remainder of the P.II amino acid sequence. A translational fusion was constructed in E. coli which linked the P.II sequence to the signal peptide of β-lactamase. This P.II fusion differs from the gonococcal protein only in the first seven residues at the N terminus. In E. coli, the P.II fusion product exhibits properties analogous to those of P.II in N. gonorrhoeae. The P.II fusion product is a major component of the E. coli outer membrane and it is exposed on the cell surface. The P.II fusion protein also exhibits the heat-modifiable phenotype of gonococcal P.II.

    Notes: Salmonella typhimurium grown under oxygen-limiting conditions were found to enter into, elicit actin filament rearrangement in, and effect morphological changes upon HEp-2 cells within 15 min after infection. Video microscopy revealed that host cell morphological changes associated with entry began within 1 min of productive adherence. Polarized Caco-2 cell morphology was affected 40 s after infection with low-oxygen-grown S. typhimurium. Stationary-phase S. typhimurium did not elicit these phenomena within this time-period even when adherence was enhanced with the afimbrial adhesin, AFA-I. Thus, environmental cues regulate S. typhimurium invasion factors, allowing for immediate entry into host cells. Additionally, actin filament rearrangement and morphological changes in the eukaryotic host cell are essential for entry and occur within minutes of infection.
