Abstract

A genetic locus of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was identified that is highly and specifically inducible during infection of neutropenic mice. This locus, ppkA, encodes a protein that is highly homologous to eukaryote-type serine/threonine protein kinases. A ppkA null mutant strain shows reduced virulence in neutropenic mice compared to the wild type. Overexpression of the PpkA protein greatly inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli or P. aeruginosa. However, a single amino acid change at the catalytic site of the kinase domain eliminated the toxic effect of PpkA on bacterial cells, suggesting that the kinase domain of PpkA is functional within bacterial cells.

摘要

鉴定出了铜绿假单胞菌的一个基因座,该基因座在中性粒细胞减少小鼠感染期间具有高度特异性的诱导性。这个基因座,即ppkA,编码一种与真核生物型丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶高度同源的蛋白质。与野生型相比,ppkA基因敲除突变株在中性粒细胞减少小鼠中的毒力降低。PpkA蛋白的过表达极大地抑制了大肠杆菌或铜绿假单胞菌的生长。然而,激酶结构域催化位点的单个氨基酸变化消除了PpkA对细菌细胞的毒性作用,这表明PpkA的激酶结构域在细菌细胞内具有功能。
