VFC0258 |
Biosynthesis pathway of LOS is producing a branched oligosaccharide attached to a lipid A via two 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid (KDO) molecules. The rfaC gene product adds the first heptose (Hep I) to KDO. The rfaF gene product adds the second Hep onto Hep I and is required for alpha-chain elongation. The lgtF gene product adds the first Glc of the alpha-chain. Genes lgtA, lgtB, lgtE are responsible for the synthesis of different alpha chains. lgtG is required for addition of the fist Glc of the beta chain; lgtA, lgtC, lgtG are subject to phase variation of expression mediated by homopolymeric tracts within their coding regions |

One or two different loci are used for the expression of the major pilin encoding gene (pilE), whereas various silent genes (pilS) are spread throughout the chromosome. Recombination between pilS and pilE copies leads to changes in the pilin coding sequence and subsequently to the expression of antigenically different pili. Mutations affecting the length of the homopolymeric G-run located in the region encoding the SP of PilC results in on/off changes in piliation |

Immune modulation |
VFC0258 |
Biosynthesis pathway of LOS is producing a branched oligosaccharide attached to a lipid A via two 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid (KDO) molecules. The rfaC gene product adds the first heptose (Hep I) to KDO. The rfaF gene product adds the second Hep onto Hep I and is required for alpha-chain elongation. The lgtF gene product adds the first Glc of the alpha-chain. Genes lgtA, lgtB, lgtE are responsible for the synthesis of different alpha chains. lgtG is required for addition of the fist Glc of the beta chain; lgtA, lgtC, lgtG are subject to phase variation of expression mediated by homopolymeric tracts within their coding regions |

Opa |
Invasion |
VFC0083 |
Opa proteins were originally identified because their expression changes the color and opacity of colonies. The effect may be due to an increased interbacterial aggregation that results from the lectin-like ability of Opa proteins to bind to LOS on adjacent bacteria; A single gonococcal strain can harbor up to 12 opa genes, meningococci usually encode 3 to 4 Opa proteins; all opa genes sequenced to date contain 5' tandem repeats [CTCTT]n that cause high-frequency phase variable expression; grouped into two major classes according to the binding specificity for human surface receptors: the OpaHS-type (heparansulphate proteoglycan (HSPG) and OpaCEA-type (carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) or related molecules) |

One or two different loci are used for the expression of the major pilin encoding gene (pilE), whereas various silent genes (pilS) are spread throughout the chromosome. Recombination between pilS and pilE copies leads to changes in the pilin coding sequence and subsequently to the expression of antigenically different pili. Mutations affecting the length of the homopolymeric G-run located in the region encoding the SP of PilC results in on/off changes in piliation |

Brucella possesses a non-classical LPS as compared with the so-called classical LPS from enterobacteria such as Escherichia coli. B. abortus lipid A possesses a diaminoglucose backbone (rather than glucosamine), and acyl groups are longer (C28 rather than C12 and C16) and are only linked to the core by amide bounds (rather than ester and amide bonds).; In contrast to enterobacterial LPSs, Brucella LPS is several-hundred-times less active and toxic than E. coli LPS.; this is an evolutionary adaptation to an intracellular lifestyle, low endotoxic activity is shared by other intracellular pathogens such as Bartonella and Legionella. |
