    Notes: Introduction of anti-host factors into eukaryotic cells by extracellular bacteria is a strategy evolved by several Gram-negative pathogens. In these pathogens, the transport of virulence proteins across the bacterial membranes is governed by closely related type III secretion systems. For pathogenic Yersinia, the protein transport across the eukaryotic cell membrane occurs by a polarized mechanism requiring two secreted proteins, YopB and YopD. YopB was recently shown to induce the formation of a pore in the eukaryotic cell membrane, and through this pore, translocation of Yop effectors is believed to occur (Håkansson et al., 1996b). We have previously shown that YopK of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is required for the development of a systemic infection in mice. Here, we have analysed the role of YopK in the virulence process in more detail. A yopK-mutant strain was found to induce a more rapid YopE-mediated cytotoxic response in HeLa cells as well as in MDCK-1 cells compared to the wild-type strain. We found that this was the result of a cell-contact-dependent increase in translocation of YopE into HeLa cells. In contrast, overexpression of YopK resulted in impaired translocation. In addition, we found that YopK also influenced the YopB-dependent lytic effect on sheep erythrocytes as well as on HeLa cells. A yopK-mutant strain showed a higher lytic activity and the induced pore was larger compared to the corresponding wild-type strain, whereas a strain overexpressing YopK reduced the lytic activity and the apparent pore size was smaller. The secreted YopK protein was found not to be translocated but, similar to YopB, localized to cell-associated bacteria during infection of HeLa cells. Based on these results, we propose a model where YopK controls the translocation of Yop effectors into eukaryotic cells.

    Notes: The PTPase YopH of Yersinia is essential to the ability of these bacteria to block phagocytosis. Wild-type Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, but not the yopH mutant strain, resisted phagocytosis by J774 cells. Ingestion of a yopH mutant was dependent on tyrosine kinase activity. Transcomplementation with wild-type yopH restored the anti-phagocytic effect, whereas introduction of the gene encoding the catalytically inactive yopHC403A was without effect. The PTPase inhibitor orthovanadate impaired the anti-phagocytic effect of the wild-type strain, further demonstrating the importance of bacteria-derived PTPase activity for this event. The ability to resist phagocytosis indicates that the effect of the bacterium is immediately exerted when it becomes associated with the phagocyte. Within 30 s after the onset of infection, wild-type Y. pseudotuberculosis caused a YopH-dependent dephosphorylation of phosphotyrosine proteins in J774 cells. Furthermore, interaction of the cells with phagocytosable strains led to a rapid and transient increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin and some other proteins, an event dependent on the presence of the bacterial surface-located protein invasin. Co-infection with the phagocytosable strain and the wild-type strain abolished the induction of tyrosine phosphorylation. Taken together, the present findings demonstrate an immediate YopH-mediated dephosphorylation of macrophage phosphotyrosine proteins, suggesting that this PTPase acts by preventing early phagocytosis-linked signalling in the phagocyte.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of bacterial enterotoxins on rat intestinal permeability properties was studied by comparing the effect of toxin-positive and toxin-negative Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium inoculated into a segment of rat small intestine. Fluoresceinated dextran 3000 (FITC-D3; Mr 3000) was applied as permeability marker. The E. coli strain C922a-1 producing heat-labile (LT) and heat-stable (ST) enterotoxins and colonising factor CFA/II increased the transmural passage of the dextran probe into portal blood. In contrast, its plasmid-negative variant, a non-toxin producer lacking CFA, caused permeability changes indistinguishable from the bacteria-free nutrient broth control. Another pair of enterotoxigenic E. coli strains, 1628–14 (LT+, ST+, CFA/I+) and 1628–15 (LT+, ST− and CFA/I−) both increased the intestinal permeability. The observations indicate that the LT+-only E. coli strain 1628–15 has the ability to promote permeability of rat intestine. The toxin-negative, rough S. typhimurium 395MR10 bacteria had a very small effect on the permeability, which was also achieved with culture filtrate only.It is concluded that enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) can alter the properties of the mucosal barrier towards intermediate-sized molecules that could be of antigenic significance, or which could play a crucial role in the nutritional status of the host organism.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of culture filtrate containing cholera toxin (CT) on rat intestinal permeability was studied using fluorescein isothiocyanate-labelled dextran 3000 (FITC-D3, Mr, 3000) as probe molecule. CT was given either perorally, via a gastric tube 90 min before, or locally in conjunction with the permeability measurement in the distal ileum. Compaired to the control animals, either mode of administration resulted in increased permeation of FITC-D3 from the intestine to portal blood. The effect of the local treatment was apparent after 5–10 min and prevailed during the 60-min measurement period. The results indicate that CT not only affects net water transport at the intestinal mucosa but also the passage of larger molecules across the intestinal wall.

    Notes: Abstract When the receptors for platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) are activatedthey aggregate, become tyrosine-phosphorylated and elicit a cascade ofdown-stream signals, including mobilization of Ca2+ from intra- andextracellular stores. Receptor mobility in the plane of the membrane isa prerequisite for receptor aggregation and further signalling. Using humanforeskin fibroblasts (AG 1523) and fluorescence recovery afterphotobleaching (FRAP), we therefore assessed the lateral mobilitycharacteristics of PDGF-β2 receptors by their diffusioncoefficient (D), and fraction of mobile receptors (R). This was done oncells stimulated with either normal human serum (NHS) or PDGF underdifferent Ca2+-conditions. The results suggest that both intra- and extracellular free Ca2+influence the mobility characteristics of the PDGF-β2receptor. Interestingly, the extracellular Ca2+ seems to imposegeneral restrictions on the mobility of receptors, since R increased whenextracellular Ca2+ was quenched with EGTA, whereas intracellularclamping of Ca2+ transients with MABTAM (BAPT/AM) primarily affectedD. When both intra- and extracellular Ca2+ were quenced, D remainedlow and R high, further supporting the proposition that they achievedistinct effects. Inhibition of tyrosine phosphorylation with Erbstatin,partly inhibited the NHS effects and released PDGF-induced receptorimmobilization. Ratio imaging with Fura-2 displayed that both NHS and PDGFinduced changes in intracellular free [Ca2+]. In view of the presentdata it might have important effects on the state of the receptor in themembrane, for instance by regulating its lateral mobility, communicationwith other receptors and signalling functions in the membrane.

    Notes: Abstract Protein kinase C (PK-C) and casein kinase II (CK-II) activities were studied in two human colon carcinoma cell lines (HT-29 and CaCO-2) undergoing differentiationin vitro resulting, in small-intestine-like cells. CaCo-2 cells, when grown under standard conditions, appear to undergo spontaneous differentiation. In these cells PK-C and CK-II activities were determined on day 5, 10 and 15. No significant differences in activities were seen either in PK-C or CK-II activity. HT-29 cells, when grown in glucose-free medium can be stimulated to undergo differentiation which is completed within 20 days. PK-C and CK-II activities were determined after 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 days, respectively. PK-C activity rose from 7.9±3.5 pmole32P/mg protein/min at day 5 to 37.5±14.8 pmole32P/mg protein/min at day 20. After 25 days the activity was reduced to 20.0±7.8 pmole32P/mg protein/min. CK-II activity did not change significantly during day 5 to 20, but on day 25 there was a significant decrease in CK-II activity from 94.9±6.4 pmole32P/mg protein/min (day 20) to 62.6±3.9 pmole32P/mg protein/min (day 25) p=0.003. The results in this study indicate a role for PK-C and CK-II in cell growth and differentiation.

    Lateral diffusion of PDGF β-receptors in human fibroblasts (1991)

    Notes: Abstract When platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) binds to its receptors a number of biochemical reactions are elicited in the cell. Several models have been presented for the effects of ligand-induced receptor conformation and aggregation on signal transduction but little is known about the direct effects on receptor diffusion. This study concerns the lateral mobility of PDGF receptors in fibroblasts. It was assessed with fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP), using rhodaminated receptor antibodies or Fab-fragments of the antibody as ligands. The aims of the investigation were: (a) to compare the lateral mobility of membrane receptors of human fibroblasts labelled with either antibodies against the PDGF receptor or Fab-fragments of the same antibodies, and (b) to study the effects of serum or PDGF on the mobility of the receptors. Human foreskin fibroblasts (AG 1523) were grown on coverslips either under standard or under serum-free conditions yielding “normal” and “starved” cells, respectively. Two parameters of the diffusion were evaluated; the diffusion coefficient (D) and the mobile fraction (R) of the receptors. We found that normal fibroblasts had a smaller diffusion coefficient and a lower mobile fraction compared to starved cells using antibodies for receptor labelling. The addition of PDGF, just before the measurement, increased the D and R for normal cells, while starved cells, showing higher initial values, displayed slightly reduced values of D and R. After the addition of serum, D increased and R remained low for normal cells, whereas for starved cells both D and R increased to upper limits of 11.0×10−10 cm2s−1 and 〉90% respectively. In general, the D and R values, both in normal and starved cells, were higher for cells labelled with Fab-fragments than for antibody-labelled cells. The results are discussed in relation to the natural complexity of the receptor, and how PDGF, serum, antibodies and Fab-fragments might interfere with receptor structure, aggregation state and membrane diffusion characteristics.
