The Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae genome contains at least 22 regions with a variable number of tandem nucleotide repeats (VNTRs) within coding DNA sequences (CDSs). In this work, the VNTR-containing CDSs were analysed in order to evaluate their degree of variation, possible correlations with antigenic properties, and their potential to be used as a basis for a strain typing PCR assay. We have analysed the VNTRs in five M. hyopneumoniae strains (J, 7448, 7422, PMS, and 232), based on published genomic sequences and on amplified and sequenced DNA segments. These VNTRs are distributed among 12 genes, most of which encode putative surface proteins, including known adhesins. The number of repeat units in any of the VNTRs is highly variable among the analysed strains, but they are, without exception, translationally in frame, and, therefore, code for a variable number of aminoacid repeats (VNTARs). These VNTARs determine putative structural, physicochemical and antigenic variations in the corresponding proteins, with potential implications for aspects associated to M. hyopneumoniae pathogenicity, such as cell adhesion and interactions with the host immune system. Considering that the characterized VNTARs are relatively stable, at least in vitro, and their sizes are strain-specific, we have developed a VNTR-based PCR assay for M. hyopneumoniae strain identification, useful for enzootic pneumonia (EP) diagnosis, strain typing, and distinction of circulating field isolates from vaccine strains in animals vaccinated against EP. 相似文献

Six field strains of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae isolated from pneumonic lungs of pigs, reference strains 11 and J of M hyopneumoniae, Ms 42 strain of Mycoplasma flocculare, and BTS 7 strain of Mycoplasma hyorhinis were compared serologically, using hyperimmune antisera produced in rabbits. All strains of M hyopneumoniae were closely related as determined with the disk growth-inhibition test; however, differences in zone sizes indicated that some antigenic heterogeneity existed. Cross-reactions were not detected between M hyopneumoniae, M flocculare, and M hyorhinis with the growth-inhibition test. The metabolic-inhibition test was more useful for detection of intraspecies antigenic difference than was the growth-inhibition test, since antigenic diversity was clearly detected among M hyopneumoniae strains. Slight cross-reactions were observed between M hyopneumoniae and M flocculare. Using 2-dimensional immunoelectrophoresis, antigenic differences were observed among M hyopneumoniae strains, although many common components also were detected in electropherograms. Mycoplasma flocculare possessed a close antigenic relationship to M hyopneumoniae, as determined by two-dimensional immunoelectrophoresis, whereas both organisms were less related to M hyorhinis. Evidence obtained in this study indicated that strains of mycoplasmas tentatively identified as M hyopneumoniae were similar antigenically, but evidence was obtained also of some diversity in antigenic structure among these strains. 相似文献

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, the etiological agent of swine enzootic pneumonia, is an important pathogen in the swine industry worldwide. Investigations on pathogenicity mechanisms as well as current serological detection methods and the development of new recombinant subunit vaccines are hampered by the lack of known and well characterized, species-specific M. hyopneumoniae antigens. As a first step to solve these problems membrane and membrane-associated proteins were enriched from M. hyopneumoniae cells by Triton X-114 fractionation and further analyzed by 2D gel electrophoresis and Western blot analyses using convalescent sera. Two previously unknown immunogenic proteins were identified by quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry and database analyses as the conserved putative lipoproteins, Mhp378 and Mhp651. Both proteins were expressed as recombinant GST fusion proteins and reacted with sera from convalescent pigs. Coated as solid-phase antigen, Mhp651 showed a distinct cross-reaction only with Mycoplasma flocculare specific rabbit hyperimmune serum, whereas Mhp378 was only recognized by the positive control serum directed against M. hyopneumoniae, thereby indicating its species specificity. 相似文献

Mycoplasma gallisepticum is a major pathogen of poultry. Mycoplasma imitans is genetically and antigenically closely related to M. gallisepticum, but so far, only a few proteins of M. imitans have been identified as sharing epitopes with M. gallisepticum. In this study, we identified three proteins of M. gallisepticum that share with M. imitans epitopes defined by monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). MAb 9D4 reacted with the 67-kD hemagglutinin V1hA (previously termed pMGA) of M. gallisepticum and with its continuously expressed 40-kD protein. This MAb also reacted with a 40-kD protein of M. imitans, but not with its putative V1hA. Two-dimensional (2D) immunoblots of M. gallisepticum strains showed that their 40-kD proteins reacting with MAb 9D4 are expressed as major forms with isoelectric points (pI) around 6, and also as less-abundant forms differing in pI. In M. imitans, major forms of 40-kD proteins recognized by MAb 9D4 had pI around 6, whereas minor forms had pI between 5.5 and 5.8. The N-terminal sequence of the M. gallisepticum 40-kD protein recognized by MAb 9D4 strongly indicates that this protein is pyruvate dehydrogenase E1, subunit alpha (PdhA protein, also termed AcoA). The position of elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu), detected by the reference MAb GB8, was very similar in the 2D proteome maps of M. gallisepticum and M. imitans (MW of about 45 kD; pI - 5.6). In both M. gallisepticum and M. imitans, MAb 7G1 reacted with proteins of about 36 kD with similar charges (major forms with pI of about 8). The position of this protein in the proteome map of M. gallisepticum and its N-terminal sequence strongly suggest that MAb 7G1 recognizes lactate (malate) dehydrogenase (Ldh or Mdh). Comparison of 2D proteomes of 10 M. gallisepticum strains indicated that positions of EF-Tu, PdhA, and Ldh proteins are rather consistent and can be used as reference points in further analyses of the M. gallisepticum proteome. 相似文献

In order to understand the sequence characteristics, basic structure and genetic variation of P46 gene which was the main immunogenic surface membrane protein gene of local prevalent Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (Mhp) strains in Guangxi Luchuan pig.The Mhp P46 gene in positive diseased swine samples which were collected from the purebred Luchuan pig farms in Guangxi from 2011 to 2013 was amplified using PCR,and then cloned into pMD18-T vector and transformed into E.coli DH5α.We chose the positive clones and sequenced.We amplified P46 genes of four positive strains (GXLC1,GXLC2,GXLC3 and GXLC4).Use the DNAStar software to analyse the cloned sequence.The results showed that P46 gene sequence was 1104 bp coding 368 amino acids.The sequence included three Trps coded by TGA codons which weren’t termination codons and one Arg coded by CGG codons which weren’t nonsense code.The homologies of nucleotide sequences of 4 strains were 98.4% to 99.4%,and the homologies of deduced amino acid sequences were 98.6% to 99.5% with these sequences of standard J strain,232 strain,7448 strain and 168 strain.The P46 genes of these strains had highly conservation because of the high-level homologies. 相似文献

The Rickettsiales Ehrlichia ruminantium (ER) is the causative agent of heartwater, a fatal tick-borne disease of livestock in sub-Saharan Africa and in the Caribbean, posing strong economical constraints to livestock production. In an attempt to identify the most prominent proteins expressed by this bacterium, especially those encoded by the major antigenic protein 1 (map1) multigene family, a proteome map of ER cultivated in endothelial cells was constructed by using two dimensional gel electrophoresis combined with mass spectrometry. Among the sixty-four spots detected, we could identify only four proteins from the MAP1-family; the other proteins detected were mainly related to energy, amino acid and general metabolism (26%), to protein turnover, chaperones and survival (21%) and to information processes (14%) or classified as hypothetical proteins (23%). Additional studies on MAP1-family protein using immunochemical labeling also revealed that these proteins are differentially expressed along the bacterium life cycle, presenting different structural organization. Interestingly, when infectious elementary bodies (EBs) are released from host cells, MAP1 appears to be organized in SDS and heat-resistant dimers and trimers stabilized by disulfide bridges. Overall, the results presented herein not only reveal the first partial proteome map of ER but provide new insights on the expression ER MAP1-family proteins in host endothelial cells. 相似文献

A tissue culture system to study respiratory ciliary epithelial adherence of selected swine mycoplasmas 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
An in vitro culture system for swine tracheal epithelial cells was developed to study the adherence of swine mycoplasmas. Swine tracheal epithelial cells were isolated by enzymatic digestion and cultured on microporous membranes. Growth medium was placed under the membrane support to create air-liquid interface feeding resulting in the cells growing cilia and microvilli on the apical surface. Two strains of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (pathogenic strain 91-3 and non-pathogenic type strain J) and two strains of Mycoplasma flocculare (type strain Ms42 and field isolate 7160T) were used in this study. The morphology of the cultured tracheal cells was evaluated by transmission electron microscopy. Adherence of M. hyopneumoniae and M. flocculare and damage to the cilia were demonstrated using scanning electron microscopy. The pathogenic M. hyopneumoniae strain 91-3 adhered to cilia inducing obvious damage. The non-pathogenic M. hyopneumoniae strain J did not adhere to mature cilia. Both M. flocculare strains Ms42 and 7160T adhered to mature and budding cilia. No obvious ciliary damage was observed with strain Ms42. Minimal damage consisting of a slight tangling of the cilia occurred after adherence by strain 7160T. This model will enable us to further study the role of adherence of mycoplasmas on the pathogenesis of swine pneumonia. 相似文献

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is the etiological agent of swine enzootic pneumonia (EP), a chronic respiratory disease which causes significant economic losses to the swine industry worldwide. More efficient strategies for controlling this disease are necessary. In this study, we cloned17 genes coding for transmembrane proteins from M. hyopneumoniae, among which six were successfully expressed in Escherichia coli and had their immunogenic and antigenic properties evaluated. All proteins were immunogenic in mice and sera from naturally infected pigs reacted with the recombinant proteins, suggesting that they are expressed during infection. These antigens may contribute for the development of new recombinant vaccines and diagnostic tests against EP. 相似文献

下载免费PDF全文 Three distinct antigenic profiles were identified by comparing the reactivities of 15 Canadian field isolates, the attenuated U.S. vaccine (Ingelvac MLV) strain and 2 European reference strains (Lelystad and Weybridge) of the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) by indirect immunofluorescence with a set of 4 monoclonal antibodies to the nucleocapsid (N) protein and 2 other to the matrix (M) protein. In the present study, 9 Canadian isolates for which the sequences were determined appeared closely related to 2 U.S. reference strains (ATCC VR-2332 and ATCC VR-2385) with amino acid identities varying between 90 to 98% for the M and N proteins; substitutions in the nucleotide sequences were distributed randomly throughout the ORFs 6 and 7 genes, and most were 3rd base silent mutations. In comparison, more than 30% divergence was demonstrated with the Lelystad virus. Furthermore, differentiation between North American and European isolates, and between field isolates and the MLV strain could be achieved by cutting PCR-amplified products encompassing both ORFs 6 and 7 genes with 4 restriction endonucleases. When taken individually, BsaJI and AluI were the more appropriate restriction enzymes for distinguishing the vaccine strain from field isolates. The results obtained suggest that the restriction fragment length polymorphism of the genomic region covering the ORFs 6 and 7 genes may be a valuable tool to differentiate among PRRSV isolates. 相似文献

The course of enzootic pneumonia, caused by Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, is strongly influenced by management and housing conditions. Other factors, including differences in virulence between M. hyopneumoniae strains, may also be involved. The aim of this study was to evaluate the virulence of six M. hyopneumoniae field isolates and link it to genetic differences as determined by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. Ninety, conventional M. hyopneumoniae-free piglets were inoculated intratracheally with the field isolates, a virulent reference strain or sterile culture medium. Animals were examined daily for the presence of disease signs and a respiratory disease score (RDS) was assessed per pig. Twenty-eight days post infection, pigs were euthanized, blood sampled and a lung lesion score was given. Lung samples were processed for histopathology, immunofluorescence testing for M. hyopneumoniae and isolation of M. hyopneumoniae. RAPD analysis was performed on all M. hyopneumoniae strains. Significant differences between isolates were found for the RDS, lung lesion score, histopathology, immunofluorescence and serology. Based on the results of the different parameters, isolates were divided into three "virulence" groups: low, moderately and highly virulent strains. Typically, a 5000 bp RAPD fragment was associated with the highly and moderately virulent strains whereas it was absent in low virulent strains. It was concluded that high variation in virulence exists between M. hyopneumoniae strains isolated from different swine herds. Further studies are required to determine whether the 5000 bp fragment obtained in the RAPD analysis can be used as a virulence marker. 相似文献

Comparison of biochemical test results and protein electrophoretic patterns of 21 strains of Mycoplasma iowae indicated that all were similar. Comparison of agglutination test results indicated marked within-species antigenic variation. None of 21 antigens prepared from different strains were effective in demonstrating turkey antibody against five reference strains. Examination of sera from turkeys exposed by intra-air-sac inoculation to two pathogenic strains also indicated antigenic variation. Neither the M. iowae type-strain, Iowa 695, nor the other reference strains were effective in demonstrating antibody against both strains used to expose the turkeys. These findings suggest that antigenic variation may be a major problem in effective serodiagnosis of M. iowae infections. 相似文献

Cryptosporidium (C.) spp. are important zoonotic parasites causing widespread diarrhoeal disease in man and animals. The recent release of the complete genome sequences for C. parvum and C. hominis has facilitated the comprehensive global proteome analysis of these opportunistic pathogens. The well-known approach for mass spectrometry (MS) based data analysis using the BLAST tool (MS BLAST) is a database search protocol for identifying unknown proteins by sequence similarity to homologous proteins using peptide sequences produced by mass spectrometry. We have used several complementary approaches to explore the global sporozoite proteome of C. parvum with available proteomic tools. To optimize the output of the MS data, a sequence similarity-based MS BLAST strategy was employed for bioinformatic analysis. Most significantly, almost all the constituents of glycolysis and several mitochondrion-related proteins were identified. In addition, many hypothetical Cryptosporidium proteins were validated by the identification of their constituent peptides. The MS BLAST approach was found to be useful during the study and could provide valuable information towards a complete understanding of the unique biology of Cryptosporidium. 相似文献

Identification of the copper-zinc superoxide dismutase activity in Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/ZnSOD), a key enzyme in defense against toxic oxygen-free radicals, is widespread in eukaryotes and several species of gram-negative bacteria. The presence of this enzyme in Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyopneumoniae), the primary pathogen of mycoplasmal pneumonia in pigs, was examined since the polyclonal antibody against bovine Cu/ZnSOD was dominantly cross-reactive with the M. hyopneumoniae Cu/ZnSOD from whole cellular proteins. In situ activity staining on SDS-PAGE showed that the molecular mass of M. hyopneumoniae Cu/ZnSOD in reducing form was approximately 17kDa. The presence of Cu and Zn ions at the active site of the enzyme was confirmed on the basis of inhibition by KCN and by H(2)O(2). The activity of M. hyopneumoniae Cu/ZnSOD on both SDS- and native-polyacrylamide gels was completely inhibited by 2mM KCN and the gels showed no iron-containing SOD (FeSOD) or manganese-containing SOD (MnSOD) in the crude extracts. The activity of M. hyopneumoniae Cu/ZnSOD in crude extract was 70units/mg protein and was 55% inhibited by 5mM KCN and 56% inactivated by 40mM H(2)O(2). This enzyme was growth-stage dependent and evidenced markedly higher production during the early log phase. Different expression levels of Cu/ZnSOD activity in field isolates were also detected. Taken together, the presence of Cu/ZnSOD in M. hyopneumoniae was identified for the first time. 相似文献

Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP), caused by Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides (Mmm) is a severe cattle disease, present in many countries in sub-Saharan Africa. The development of improved diagnostic tests and vaccines for CBPP control remains a research priority. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry were used to characterize the Triton X-114 soluble proteome of nine Mmm strains isolated from Europe or Africa. Of a total of 250 proteins detected, 67 were present in all strains investigated. Of these, 44 were predicted to be lipoproteins or cytoplasmic membrane-associated proteins and are thus likely to be members of the core in vitro surface membrane-associated proteome of Mmm. Moreover, the presence of all identified proteins in other ruminant Mycoplasma pathogens were investigated. Two proteins of the core proteome were identified only in other cattle pathogens of the genus Mycoplasma pointing towards a role in host–pathogen interactions. The data generated will facilitate the identification and prioritization of candidate Mycoplasma antigens for improved control measures, as it is likely that surface-exposed membrane proteins will include those that are involved in host–pathogen interactions. 相似文献

Differences in protein expression in midgut tissue of uninfected and Babesia bovis-infected southern cattle ticks, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, were investigated in an effort to establish a proteome database containing proteins involved in successful pathogen transmission. The electrophoretic separation of midgut membrane proteins was greatly improved by using liquid-phase isoelectric focusing combined with one-dimensional or two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis. A selection of differentially expressed proteins were subjected to analysis by capillary-HPLC-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS). Among the identified Babesia-affected tick midgut proteins were six proteins that are implicated in signaling processes, including three Ca(2+)-binding proteins, a guanine nucleotide-binding protein, a protein with signal peptide activity and a translocon-associated receptor protein. Up-regulation of five metabolic enzymes indicated parasite-induced changes in electron and proton transport, protein processing and retinoic acid metabolism. Among the down-regulated proteins were a molecular chaperone, a cytoskeletal protein and a multifunctional protein of the prohibitin family. Identification of these proteins may provide new insights into the molecular interactions between B. bovis and its tick vector, and could lead to identification of anti-tick and transmission-blocking vaccine candidates. 相似文献
