Sulfatases of enteric bacteria can provide access to heavily sulfated mucosal glycans. In this study, we show that aslA (STM0084) of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium LT2 encodes a sulfatase that requires mildly acidic pH for its expression and activity. AslA is not regulated by sulfur compounds or tyramine but requires the EnvZ-OmpR and PhoPQ regulatory systems, which play an important role in pathogenesis.
肠细菌的硫酸酯酶可以提供大量硫酸化黏膜聚糖的途径。在这项研究中,我们表明,鼠伤寒沙门氏菌血清型 LT2 的 aslA(STM0084)编码一种硫酸酯酶,其表达和活性需要微酸性 pH 值。AslA 不受硫化合物或酪胺调节,但需要 EnvZ-OmpR 和 PhoPQ 调节系统,该系统在发病机制中起重要作用。
