Isolation of an atypical strain of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 1 with a truncated lipopolysaccharide outer core and no O-antigen.

ABSTRACT: A field isolate of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, the causative agent of porcine fibrinohemorrhagic necrotizing pleuropneumonia, was sent to the diagnostic laboratory for serotyping. The isolate presented a clear reaction, with both polyclonal antibodies against serotype 1 and monoclonal antibodies against the capsular polysaccharide of serotype 1. It also exhibited a PCR profile of Apx toxins expected for serotype 1. The isolate, however, failed to react with monoclonal antibodies against the O-antigen of serotype 1 lipopolysaccharide (LPS), suggesting a rough phenotype. The lipid A-core region of the isolate migrated faster than the corresponding region of the serotype 1 reference strain S4074 by Tricine-sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, suggesting the presence of a truncated core. Sugar analysis and mass spectrometry analysis of the O-deacylated LPS from the field isolate were consistent with the absence of O-antigen and truncation of the outer core compared to the wild-type reference strain. Experimental infection of pigs confirmed the virulence of the isolate. This is the first report of an isolate of A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 1 with a truncated outer core and a rough LPS phenotype. Veterinary diagnostic laboratories should be vigilant, since infections caused by such an isolate will not be detected by serological tests based on LPS O-antigen.

Isolation of atypical genotype Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 6 in Japan.

Project description:We describe here isolation of genetically atypical serotype 6 Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae in Japan indistinguishable by the multiplex PCR that can discriminate between immunologically cross-reactive serotypes 3, 6 and 8. Nucleotide sequence analysis of capsular export and biosynthesis genes revealed that the atypical isolates have capsular polysaccharide export and synthesis gene sequences that are distinct from those of the serotype 6 reference strain. The atypical strains contain a sequence that is identical with both serotype 3- and 6-specific primers, which causes cross-reactions in multiplex PCR.

Characterization of an atypical Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serovar 2 isolate with a rough-type lipopolysaccharide.

Project description:We describe phenotypic and genetic characterization of an atypical Japanese Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae isolate OT761. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed that gene clusters involved in capsular polysaccharide and O-polysaccharide (O-PS) biosynthesis of the isolate were nearly identical to those of serovar 2 reference strain. The main difference found between the O-PS loci is the shortening of 31 amino acids from the C terminus of WcaJ in the atypical isolate due to a 93 bp deletion at the 3' end of wcaJ gene. Immunoblot analysis revealed that this isolate could not produce O-PS. Taken together, our results showed that the C-terminal domain of the A. pleuropneumoniae WcaJ plays a critical role in enzyme function of WcaJ involved in the biosynthesis of O-PS.

Immunoproteomic analysis of outer membrane proteins and extracellular proteins of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae JL03 serotype 3.

Project description:BackgroundActinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is the causative agent of porcine contagious pleuropneumonia, a highly contagious respiratory infection in pigs, and all the 15 serotypes are able to cause disease. Current vaccines including subunit vaccines could not provide satisfactory protection against A. pleuropneumoniae. In this study, the immunoproteomic approach was applied to the analysis of extracellular and outer membrane proteins of A. pleuropneumoniae JL03 serotype 3 for the identification of novel immunogenic proteins for A. pleuropneumoniae.ResultsA total of 30 immunogenic proteins were identified from outer membrane and extracellular proteins of JL03 serotype 3, of which 6 were known antigens and 24 were novel immunogenic proteins for A. pleuropneumoniae.ConclusionThese data provide information about novel immunogenic proteins for A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 3, and are expected to aid in development of novel vaccines against A. pleuropneumoniae.

Cytolysins of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 9.

Project description:Cytolysin I (ClyI) and cytolysin II (ClyII), which are present in the culture supernatant of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 9, are thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of pig pleuropneumonia. The purpose of this study was to clone and characterize the genetic determinants of these cytolysins. Cloning was accomplished by the screening of DNA libraries for the presence of cytolytic activity and for the presence of DNA sequences homologous to leukotoxin DNA of Pasteurella haemolytica. Both genetic determinants were found to be members of the RTX cytotoxin family. The ClyII determinant was characterized in more detail. It appeared that ClyII more closely resembled the leukotoxin of P. haemolytica than the alpha-hemolysin of Escherichia coli. The ClyII amino acid sequence was identical to a hemolysin gene sequence of A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 5; this finding indicates that the latter gene also codes for ClyII and not for ClyI, as has previously been suggested. The genetic organization of the ClyII determinant differed from the genetic organization of other RTX determinants. Genes responsible for secretion of ClyII were not contiguous with the toxin gene. Instead, secretion genes were present elsewhere in the genome. These secretion genes, however, belong to the ClyI operon. This indicates that the secretion genes of the ClyI operon are responsible for secretion of ClyI and ClyII.

Cloning and characterization of a protective outer membrane lipoprotein of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 5.

Project description:The gene encoding an outer membrane lipoprotein (omlA) of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 5 was cloned, and the protein was expressed in Escherichia coli. One open reading frame of 1,104 bp was detected that encoded a protein (OmlA) with a predicted molecular mass of 40 kDa. A comparison with the omlA gene and the corresponding protein of A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 1 (G.-F. Gerlach, C. Anderson, S. Klashinsky, A. Rossi-Kampos, A.A. Potter, and P.J. Wilson, Infect. Immun. 61:565-572, 1993) revealed that the nucleic acid sequences had an overall sequence identity of 62.9% and the deduced amino acid sequences showed a sequence agreement of 57.3%. Both proteins were antigenically distinct. In a Western blot (immunoblot) analysis using a specific antiserum against A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 5 OmlA, a homologous protein was detected in the reference strains of A. pleuropneumoniae serotypes 5A, 5B, and 10. Pigs immunized with this recombinant protein were protected from death in an aerosol challenge experiment with an A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 5 isolate.

Molecular characterization of a protective outer membrane lipoprotein (OmlA) from Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 1.

Project description:An expression library was constructed from an Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 1 clinical isolate using a plasmid vector. The library was screened with serum raised against the culture supernatant of this strain. One Escherichia coli transformant which also reacted with convalescent serum was isolated and found to express a protein with an electrophoretic mobility of approximately 50,000. The A. pleuropneumoniae-derived DNA encoding the protein was localized and characterized by nucleotide sequence analysis and primer extension mapping. One open reading frame of 1,095 bases was detected and confirmed by TnphoA insertion mutagenesis. It encoded a protein with a calculated molecular mass of 40 kDa which was lipid modified and present in the outer membrane and in membrane blebs of A. pleuropneumoniae. This protein was designated as outer membrane lipoprotein A (OmlA), and the encoding gene as omlA. Southern blotting under low-stringency conditions revealed the presence of hybridizing sequences in all A. pleuropneumoniae type strains, and a specific serum detected a homologous protein in serotypes 2, 8, 9, 11, and 12 type strains. Pigs immunized with this recombinant protein preparation were protected from death in an aerosol challenge experiment with an A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 1 isolate.

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 2 exoproteome LF-LC-MS/MS

Project description:Porcine pleuropneumonia caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae affects pig health status and the swine industry worldwide. Despite of the extensive number of studies focused on A. pleuropneumoniae infection and vaccine development, its exoproteome is still rather unexplored. By combining high-throughput mass spectrometry and immunoproteomic approaches, with our current work we provide an in-depth characterisation of A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 2 exoproteome. Label-free liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) combined with a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis revealed 484 secreted proteins, of which 84 were predicted to be virulence factors and 142 to be exported via different export mechanisms. The RTX toxins ApxIIA, ApxIIIA and ApxIVA were found to be the most abundant proteins in the A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 2 exoproteome, although ApxIVA is commonly assumed to be expressed exclusively in vivo. Immunoproteomic approaches coupled to LC-MS/MS analysis allowed to portray the immunogenic proteins within the bacterial exoproteome to identify potential vaccine candidates. Using serum pools from uninfected, acutely infected and chronically infected animals, we were able to monitor the seroconversion during disease progression. Overall, our work is expected to contribute to the understanding of the complex pathogenic mechanisms and to facilitate the discovery of potential antimicrobial agents for controlling porcine pleuropneumonia.

Immunoproteomic analysis of bacterial proteins of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 1.

Project description:BackgroundActinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP) is one of the most important swine pathogens worldwide. Identification and characterization of novel antigenic APP vaccine candidates are underway. In the present study, we use an immunoproteomic approach to identify APP protein antigens that may elicit an immune response in serotype 1 naturally infected swine and serotype 1 virulent strain S259-immunized rabbits.ResultsProteins from total cell lysates of serotype 1 APP were separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE). Western blot analysis revealed 21 immunoreactive protein spots separated in the pH 4-7 range and 4 spots in the pH 7-11 range with the convalescent sera from swine; we found 5 immunoreactive protein spots that separated in the pH 4-7 range and 2 in the pH 7-11 range with hyperimmune sera from S259-immunized rabbits. The proteins included the known antigens ApxIIA, protective surface antigen D15, outer membrane proteins P5, subunit NqrA. The remaining antigens are being reported as immunoreactive proteins in APP for the first time, to our knowledge.ConclusionsWe identified a total of 42 immunoreactive proteins of the APP serotype 1 virulent strain S259 which represented 32 different proteins, including some novel immunoreactive factors which could be researched as vaccine candidates.
