Construction and characterization of Moraxella catarrhalis mutants defective in expression of transferrin receptors. (1/4)

We have previously reported the construction of an isogenic mutant defective in expression of OmpB1, the TbpB homologue, in Moraxella catarrhalis 7169. In this report, we have extended these studies by constructing and characterizing two new isogenic mutants in this clinical isolate. One mutant is defective in expression of TbpA, and the other mutant is defective in expression of both TbpA and TbpB. These isogenic mutants were confirmed by using PCR analysis, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and sequencing. In vitro growth studies, comparing all three mutants, demonstrated that the tbpA mutant and the tbpAB mutant were severely limited in their ability to grow with human holotransferrin as the sole source of iron. In contrast, the ompB1 (tbpB) mutant was capable of utilizing iron from human transferrin, although not to the extent of the parental strain. While affinity chromatography with human holotransferrin showed that each Tbp was capable of binding independently to transferrin, solid-phase transferrin binding studies using whole cells demonstrated that the tbpA mutant exhibited binding characteristics similar to those seen with the wild-type bacteria. However, the ompB1 (tbpB) mutant exhibited a diminished capacity for binding transferrin, and no binding was detected with the double mutant. These data suggest that the M. catarrhalis TbpA is necessary for the acquisition of iron from transferrin. In contrast, TbpB is not essential but may serve as a facilitory protein that functions to optimize this process. Together these mutants are essential to provide a more thorough understanding of iron acquisition mechanisms utilized by M. catarrhalis.  (+info)

Staphylococcus aureus siderophore-mediated iron-acquisition system plays a dominant and essential role in the utilization of transferrin-bound iron. (2/4)

Staphylococcus aureus is known to be capable of utilizing transferrin-bound iron, via both siderophore- and transferrin-binding protein (named IsdA)-mediated iron-acquisition systems. This study was designed in order to determine which iron-acquisition system plays the essential or dominant role with respect to the acquisition of iron from human transferrin, in the growth of S. aureus. Holotransferrin (HT) and partially iron-saturated transferrin (PT), but not apotransferrin (AT), were found to stimulate the growth of S. aureus. S. aureus consumed most of the transferrin-bound iron during the exponential growth phase. Extracellular proteases were not, however, involved in the liberation of iron from transferrin. Transferrin-binding to the washed whole cells via IsdA was not observed during the culture. The expression of IsdA was observed only in the deferrated media with AT, but not in the media supplemented with PT or HT. In contrast, siderophores were definitely produced in the deferrated media with PT and HT, as well as in the media supplemented with AT. The siderophores proved to have the ability to remove iron directly from transferrin, but the washed whole cells expressing IsdA did not. In the bioassay, the growth of S. aureus on transferrin-bound iron was stimulated by the siderophores alone. These results demonstrate that the siderophore-mediated iron-acquisition system plays a dominant and essential role in the uptake of iron from transferrin, whereas the IsdA-mediated iron-acquisition system may play only an ancillary role in the uptake of iron from transferrin.  (+info)

Use of an isogenic mutant constructed in Moraxella catarrhalis To identify a protective epitope of outer membrane protein B1 defined by monoclonal antibody 11C6. (4/4)

Moraxella catarrhalis-induced otitis media continues to be a significant cause of infection in young children, prompting increased efforts at identifying effective vaccine antigens. We have previously demonstrated that M. catarrhalis expresses specific outer membrane proteins (OMPs) in response to iron limitation and that this organism can utilize transferrin and lactoferrin for in vitro growth. One of these proteins, which binds human transferrin, is OMP B1. As the human host presents a naturally iron-limited environment, proteins, like OMP B1, which are expressed in response to this nutritional stress are potential vaccine antigens. In this study, we have developed monoclonal antibody (MAb) 11C6, which reacts to a surface-exposed epitope of OMP B1 expressed by M. catarrhalis 7169. This antibody was used to clone ompB1, and sequence analysis suggested that OMP B1 is the M. catarrhalis homologue to the transferrin binding protein B described for pathogenic Neisseriaceae, Haemophilus influenzae, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, and M. catarrhalis. Expression of recombinant OMP B1 on the surface of Escherichia coli confers transferrin binding activity, confirming that this protein is likely involved in iron acquisition. In addition, ompB1 was used to construct an isogenic mutant in M. catarrhalis 7169. This mutant, termed 7169b12, was used as the control in bactericidal assays designed to determine if OMP B1 elicits protective antibodies. In the presence of MAb 11C6 and human complement, wild-type 7169 demonstrated a 99% decline in viability, whereas the ompB1 isogenic mutant was resistant to this bactericidal activity. Further analysis with MAb 11C6 revealed the presence of this OMP B1 epitope on 31% of the clinical isolates tested. These data suggest that OMP B1 is a potential vaccine antigen against M. catarrhalis infections.  (+info)

I'm not able to find a specific medical definition for the term "Bacterial Transferrin Receptor Complex" as it is not a widely recognized or established term in the field of medicine. However, I can provide some background information that might help you understand the possible meaning behind this term.

Transferrin receptors are proteins found on the surface of many types of cells, including human cells. They play an essential role in iron metabolism by binding to transferrin, a protein that carries iron through the bloodstream. This interaction allows cells to take up and utilize iron for various biological processes.

In some bacteria, similar receptors have been identified that can bind to transferrin or other host proteins to acquire essential nutrients like iron. These bacterial transferrin receptor-like structures might be involved in the pathogenesis of certain bacterial infections by helping the bacteria obtain necessary resources for growth and survival within the human body.

However, it is important to note that the term "Bacterial Transferrin Receptor Complex" may not refer to a specific, well-defined entity in medical research. If you are looking for information on a particular study or context related to this term, I would recommend consulting the original source or seeking further clarification from the author(s) of the source where you encountered this term.

Transferrins are a type of protein found in the plasma component of blood that bind and transport iron ions (Fe3+) from digestion of food or recycling of red blood cells to the cells where they are needed for various metabolic processes, such as the production of hemoglobin. They play a crucial role in maintaining iron homeostasis in the body by preventing the accumulation of free iron, which can be toxic and contribute to the development of oxidative stress and diseases. Transferrins have a high affinity for iron and are capable of binding two ferric ions per molecule. The transferrin-iron complex is then recognized and internalized by specific transferrin receptors on the surface of cells, where the iron is released and utilized.

Transferrin receptors are membrane-bound proteins found on the surface of many cell types, including red and white blood cells, as well as various tissues such as the liver, brain, and placenta. These receptors play a crucial role in iron homeostasis by regulating the uptake of transferrin, an iron-binding protein, into the cells.

Transferrin binds to two ferric ions (Fe3+) in the bloodstream, forming a complex known as holo-transferrin. This complex then interacts with the transferrin receptors on the cell surface, leading to endocytosis of the transferrin-receptor complex into the cell. Once inside the cell, the acidic environment within the endosome causes the release of iron ions from the transferrin molecule, which can then be transported into the cytoplasm for use in various metabolic processes.

After releasing the iron, the apo-transferrin (iron-free transferrin) is recycled back to the cell surface and released back into the bloodstream, where it can bind to more ferric ions and repeat the cycle. This process helps maintain appropriate iron levels within the body and ensures that cells have access to the iron they need for essential functions such as DNA synthesis, energy production, and oxygen transport.

In summary, transferrin receptors are membrane-bound proteins responsible for recognizing and facilitating the uptake of transferrin-bound iron into cells, playing a critical role in maintaining iron homeostasis within the body.

Transferrin is a glycoprotein that plays a crucial role in the transport and homeostasis of iron in the body. It's produced mainly in the liver and has the ability to bind two ferric (Fe3+) ions in its N-lobe and C-lobe, thus creating transferrin saturation.

This protein is essential for delivering iron to cells while preventing the harmful effects of free iron, which can catalyze the formation of reactive oxygen species through Fenton reactions. Transferrin interacts with specific transferrin receptors on the surface of cells, particularly in erythroid precursors and brain endothelial cells, to facilitate iron uptake via receptor-mediated endocytosis.

In addition to its role in iron transport, transferrin also has antimicrobial properties due to its ability to sequester free iron, making it less available for bacterial growth and survival. Transferrin levels can be used as a clinical marker of iron status, with decreased levels indicating iron deficiency anemia and increased levels potentially signaling inflammation or liver disease.

Neisseria meningitidis is a Gram-negative, aerobic, bean-shaped diplococcus bacterium. It is one of the leading causes of bacterial meningitis and sepsis (known as meningococcal disease) worldwide. The bacteria can be found in the back of the nose and throat of approximately 10-25% of the general population, particularly in children, teenagers, and young adults, without causing any symptoms or illness. However, when the bacterium invades the bloodstream and spreads to the brain or spinal cord, it can lead to life-threatening infections such as meningitis (inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord) and septicemia (blood poisoning).

Neisseria meningitidis is classified into 12 serogroups based on the chemical structure of their capsular polysaccharides. The six major serogroups that cause most meningococcal disease worldwide are A, B, C, W, X, and Y. Vaccines are available to protect against some or all of these serogroups.

Meningococcal disease can progress rapidly, leading to severe symptoms such as high fever, headache, stiff neck, confusion, nausea, vomiting, and a rash consisting of purple or red spots. Immediate medical attention is required if someone experiences these symptoms, as meningococcal disease can cause permanent disabilities or death within hours if left untreated.

Meningococcal meningitis is a specific type of bacterial meningitis caused by the bacterium Neisseria meningitidis, also known as meningococcus. Meningitis refers to the inflammation of the meninges, which are the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. When this inflammation is caused by the meningococcal bacteria, it is called meningococcal meningitis.

There are several serogroups of Neisseria meningitidis that can cause invasive disease, with the most common ones being A, B, C, W, and Y. The infection can spread through respiratory droplets or direct contact with an infected person's saliva or secretions, especially when they cough or sneeze.

Meningococcal meningitis is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. Symptoms may include sudden onset of fever, severe headache, stiff neck, nausea, vomiting, confusion, and sensitivity to light. In some cases, a rash may also develop, characterized by small purple or red spots that do not blanch when pressed with a glass.

Prevention measures include vaccination against the different serogroups of Neisseria meningitidis, maintaining good personal hygiene, avoiding sharing utensils, cigarettes, or other items that may come into contact with an infected person's saliva, and promptly seeking medical care if symptoms develop.

Meningococcal infections are caused by the bacterium Neisseria meningitidis, also known as meningococcus. These infections can take several forms, but the most common are meningitis (inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord) and septicemia (bloodstream infection). Meningococcal infections are contagious and can spread through respiratory droplets or close contact with an infected person. They can be serious and potentially life-threatening, requiring prompt medical attention and treatment with antibiotics. Symptoms of meningococcal meningitis may include fever, headache, stiff neck, and sensitivity to light, while symptoms of septicemia may include fever, chills, rash, and severe muscle pain. Vaccination is available to prevent certain strains of meningococcal disease.

Neisseria meningitidis, Serogroup B is a subtype of the bacterium Neisseria meningitidis, also known as meningococcus. This bacterium can cause serious infections such as meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord) and septicemia (blood poisoning).

Serogroup B is one of the five main serogroups of Neisseria meningitidis, which are classified based on the chemical structure of their capsular polysaccharides. Serogroup B strains are responsible for a significant proportion of invasive meningococcal disease cases in many parts of the world.

The availability of vaccines that protect against some but not all serogroups of Neisseria meningitidis has led to efforts to develop effective vaccines against Serogroup B strains, which have been challenging due to their chemical structure and variability. In recent years, several vaccines targeting Serogroup B have been developed and licensed for use in various countries.

Neisseria meningitidis, Serogroup C is a type of bacteria that can cause serious infections in humans. It is also known as meningococcus and is part of a group of bacteria called meningococci. These bacteria can be divided into several serogroups based on the chemical structure of their outer coat. Serogroup C is one of these groups and is responsible for causing a significant number of invasive meningococcal diseases worldwide.

The bacterium Neisseria meningitidis, Serogroup C can cause serious infections such as meningitis (inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord) and septicemia (blood poisoning). These infections can be life-threatening and require prompt medical attention.

The bacteria are spread through close contact with an infected person, such as coughing or kissing. It can also be transmitted through respiratory droplets or saliva. The bacteria can colonize the nasopharynx (the upper part of the throat behind the nose) without causing any symptoms, but in some cases, they can invade the bloodstream and cause serious infections.

Vaccination is available to protect against Neisseria meningitidis, Serogroup C infection. The vaccine is recommended for people at increased risk of infection, such as those traveling to areas where the disease is common or those with certain medical conditions that weaken the immune system.

Neisseria meningitidis, Serogroup W-135 is a subtype of the bacterium Neisseria meningitidis, also known as meningococcus. This gram-negative diplococcus is a leading cause of bacterial meningitis and sepsis worldwide. The serogroups of N. meningitidis are defined based on the chemical structure of their capsular polysaccharides, which are essential virulence factors.

Serogroup W-135 is one of the six primary serogroups (A, B, C, W, X, and Y) that account for nearly all meningococcal disease cases globally. The W-135 serogroup has been associated with several outbreaks and sporadic cases of meningitis and sepsis, particularly in the African "meningitis belt," which stretches across the continent from Senegal to Ethiopia. However, it can also cause disease in other parts of the world, including Europe, America, and Asia.

The W-135 serogroup has been a concern due to its association with travel and pilgrimages, such as the Hajj in Saudi Arabia. The Hajj-associated meningococcal disease outbreaks led to the introduction of vaccination requirements for international travelers attending the pilgrimage.

Vaccines are available to protect against N. meningitidis Serogroup W-135, and they are often combined with other serogroups (e.g., MenACWY or MenQuad) to provide broader protection against multiple serogroups. These vaccines have been instrumental in controlling outbreaks and reducing the overall burden of meningococcal disease worldwide.

Neisseria meningitidis, Serogroup A is a subtype of the bacterium Neisseria meningitidis, also known as meningococcus. This bacterium can cause serious infections such as meningitis (inflammation of the lining surrounding the brain and spinal cord) and septicemia (bloodstream infection).

The serogroup A designation refers to the antigenic structure of the polysaccharide capsule that surrounds the bacterium. There are several serogroups of Neisseria meningitidis, including A, B, C, Y, and W. Each serogroup has a distinct polysaccharide capsule, which can be identified using specific antibodies.

Serogroup A Neisseria meningitidis is a significant cause of epidemic meningitis, particularly in the "meningitis belt" of sub-Saharan Africa. Vaccines are available to protect against serogroup A meningococcal disease, and mass vaccination campaigns have been successful in reducing the incidence of epidemics in this region.
