Enterococcus faecalis使用高温要求A (HtrA) 来清除异常的 pili. 如果没有HtrA和类酶A (SrtA), pili会积累,导致细胞应激并改变抗生素耐药性.
科学领域:
- 微生物学 微生物学
- 细菌病原体的产生
- 分子生物学分子生物学
背景情况:
- 排序酶组装的 pili 是格拉姆阳性细菌中的毒性因子.
- 在Enterococcus faecalis中,聚合 (SrtC) 和细胞壁固 (SrtA) 是至关重要的.
- 异常 pili,没有 SrtA 定,保持膜结合.
研究的目的:
- 研究高温要求A (HtrA) 在E. faecalis pilus生物生成中的作用.
- 确定HtrA作为膜结合型 pili 的质量控制系统的功能.
- 阐明柱状平衡与CroRS两组件系统之间的联系.
主要方法:
- 对E. faecalis菌株 (ΔsrtA, ΔhtrA, ΔsrtAΔhtrA, ΔcroR) 的基因操纵.
- 分析柱体定位和细胞外压力标志物的分析.
- 评估抗生素耐药性概况 (头素,达普托米辛).
主要成果:
- HtrA作为一个伴侣/蛋白质酶来清除异常的,与膜结合的 pili.
- 缺少HtrA和SrtA会导致 pili 积累,细胞外应激,以及 CroRS 系统的诱导.
- 通过 CroRS 的非激活,可以部分地挽救 ΔsrtAΔhtrA 突变的缺陷.
- 失去SrtA和HtrA会降低对和胺素的耐药性.
结论:
- 在E. faecalis.中,HtrA作为一种关键的质量控制机制,用于E. faecalis.中排序酶组装的 pili.
- 枕头错位触发了细胞外应力,并激活了CroRS反应系统.
- 这一途径影响细菌形态,化和抗生素耐药性.
