Název v původním jazyce

Influence of targeted amino acid substitution on specificity and affinity of lectins from pathogenic bacteria

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Chromobacterium violaceum, Burkholderia cenocepacia and Ralstonia solanacearum are saprophytic bacteria found in various environments, including soil, water and vegetation. The first three bacteria occasionally become aggressive opportunistic animal and human pathogens which attack mainly immunocompromised patients, e.g. patients suffering from cystic fibrosis. The fourth bacterium is economically important plant pathogen. All these bacteria produce lectins. Lectins are proteinswhich are capable of binding diverse carbohydrates with varying specificity. This fact is very important especially in host-pathogen interactions, where lectins help pathogen in adhesion to sugar moieties presented on host cells. Foregoing bacteria produce lectins belonging to a so-called ?PA-IIL family?, namely PA-IIL (P. aeruginosa), CV-IIL (C. violaceum), BC2L-A (B. cenocepacia) and RS-IIL (R. solanacearum). These lectins are orthologues with significant sequential and structural simi
