Isolation and characterization of a Mannheimiahaemolytica secreted serine protease that degrades sheep and bovine fibrinogen. Microb Pathog 2024; 192:106706. [PMID: 38763316 DOI: 10.1016/j.micpath.2024.106706] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
Mannheimiahaemolytica is an opportunistic agent of the respiratory tract of bovines, a member of the Pasteurellaceae family, and the causal agent of fibrinous pleuropneumonia. This bacterium possesses different virulence factors, allowing it to colonize and infect its host. The present work describes the isolation and characterization of a serine protease secreted by M. haemolytica serotype 1. This protease was isolated from M. haemolytica cultured media by precipitation with 50 % methanol and ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. It is a 70-kDa protease able to degrade sheep and bovine fibrinogen or porcine gelatin but not bovine IgG, hemoglobin, or casein. Mass spectrometric analysis indicates its identity with protease IV of M. haemolytica. The proteolytic activity was active between pH 5 and 9, with an optimal pH of 8. It was stable at 50 °C for 10 min but inactivated at 60 °C. The sera of bovines with chronic or acute pneumonia recognized this protease. Still, it showed no cross-reactivity with rabbit hyperimmune serum against the secreted metalloprotease from Actinobacilluspleuropneumoniae, another member of the Pasteurellaceae family. M. haemolytica secreted proteases could contribute to the pathogenesis of this bacterium through fibrinogen degradation, a characteristic of this fibrinous pleuropneumonia.

Abstract
Mannheimia haemolytica serotype S1 is considered the predominant cause of bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis, or shipping fever. Various virulence factors allow M haemolytica to colonize the lungs and establish infection. These virulence factors include leukotoxin (LKT), lipopolysaccharide, adhesins, capsule, outer membrane proteins, and various proteases. The effects of LKT are species specific for ruminants, which stem from its unique interaction with the bovine β2 integrin receptor present on leukocytes. At low concentration, LKT can activate bovine leukocytes to undergo respiratory burst and degranulation and stimulate cytokine release from macrophages and histamine release from mast cells. At higher concentration, LKT induces formation of transmembrane pores and subsequent oncotic cell necrosis. The interaction of LKT with leukocytes is followed by activation of these leukocytes to undergo oxidative burst and release proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukins 1, 6, and 8 and tumor necrosis factor α. Tumor necrosis factor α and other proinflammatory cytokines contribute to the accumulation of leukocytes in the lung. Formation of transmembrane pores and subsequent cytolysis of activated leukocytes possibly cause leakage of products of respiratory burst and other inflammatory mediators into the surrounding pulmonary parenchyma and so give rise to fibrinous and necrotizing lobar pneumonia. The effects of LKT are enhanced by lipopolysaccharide, which is associated with the release of proinflammatory cytokines from the leukocytes, activation of complement and coagulation cascade, and cell cytolysis. Similarly, adhesins, capsule, outer membrane proteins, and proteases assist in pulmonary colonization, evasion of immune response, and establishment of the infection. This review focuses on the roles of these virulence factors in the pathogenesis of shipping fever.

Abstract
The N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc) transport system of Pasteurella (Mannheimia) haemolytica A2 was studied when this bacterium was grown in both complex and chemically defined media. Kinetic measurements were carried out at 37 degrees C in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 8.0, containing 50 microg/ml bovine serum albumin. Under these conditions, the uptake rate was linear for at least 3 min and the calculated K(m) for NeuAc was 0.1 microM. The transport rate was increased by the addition of several cations and was inhibited by sodium arsenite (95%), N,N'-dicyclohexyl-carbodiimide (50%), and 2,4-dinitrophenol (40%) at final concentration of 1 mM (each). These results support the notion that NeuAc uptake is an active sugar cation symporter. Study of specificities showed that glucosamine, mannose and mannosamine inhibited the transport of NeuAc in this bacterium. Analysis of expression revealed that the NeuAc transport system was induced by NeuAc and by the simultaneous presence of glucose and galactose in the growth medium.

Abstract
The major outer membrane proteins (OMPs) isolated from Pasteurella haemolytica induce alterations of the biological activity of bovine polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs). A dose-dependent reduction of the capacity of adherence to nylon wool in vitro was observed. OMPs also acted as chemotaxins at concentrations between 5 and 20 microg/ml. Concentrations lower than 5 microg/ml did not give considerable results. Preincubation with 5 microg/ml of OMPs led to modifications in the values of the phagocytic index and of intracellular killing, which were found to be diminished with respect to controls.

Abstract
Six goats were injected transthoracically with live Pasteurella multocida A:3 to examine if an extracellular enzyme, neuraminidase, was produced in vivo during infection with this organism. The principal group of goats (n = 6) each received 1 ml of live 7.5 x 10(4) cfu of P. multocida mixed with polyacrylate beads transthoracically in the left lung on day 0 and 1 ml of live P. multocida (2.2 x 10(8) cfu) mixed with polyacrylate beads transthoracically in the left lung on day 22. Six goats were used as negative controls and received 0.3 g of polyacrylate beads subcutaneously in the right flank on days 0 and 22. Serum was obtained from all animals on days 0, 7, 14, 22, 29, and 36. Preimmune sera from all animals showed no detectable antibody to P. multocida A:3 neuraminidase in an enzyme neutralization assay. None of the sera from the negative control animals demonstrated a significant antibody titer against the P. multocida A:3 neuraminidase. On day 36, serum samples from the six infected animals possessed complete enzyme-neutralizing activity. Anti-neuraminidase antibody could be detected as early as day 14 in the infected animals. These data show that neuraminidase is produced in vivo during an active P. multocida A:3 lobar infection.

Abstract
Neuraminidases produced by 16 strains of Pasteurella multocida (serotypes 1 to 16) were characterized by molecular weight, substrate specificity, and antigenic identity. After growth in a chemically defined medium, stage I (lyophilized) culture supernatants were assayed for activity with N-acetylneuramin lactose, human alpha-1-acid glycoprotein, fetuin, colominic acid, and bovine submaxillary mucin. Neuraminidase produced by P. multocida A:3 was purified by a combination of salt fractionation, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel, and gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. Purified P. multocida A:3 neuraminidase was employed to immunize rabbits, and the resulting antiserum reduced the activity of the P. multocida A:3 enzyme by 40.3%. This antiserum also reduced the activities of the neuraminidases produced by other serotypes by between 30.8 and 59.6%. Molecular weight estimates of the neuraminidases produced by the various serotypes were obtained by gel filtration chromatography on Sephadex G-200. Each of the 16 serotypes examined produced a neuraminidase with a molecular weight of approximately 500,000. In addition, all 16 high-molecular-weight neuraminidases showed similar substrate specificities. On the basis of these data, it appears that the high-molecular-weight neuraminidases produced by different P. multocida serotypes are quite similar.

Abstract
A total of 721 field isolates of various Pasteurella species (haemolytica, multocida, and testudinis) from various regions of the United States were examined for extracellular neuraminidase production. All strains were grown and tested in the same way. Included were 372 P. haemolytica serotype 1 isolates, 181 P. haemolytica serotype 2 isolates, 63 P. haemolytica serotype 6 isolates, 101 Pasteurella multocida isolates, and 4 Pasteurella testudinis isolates. All Pasteurella species examined produced the enzyme. The data revealed the following: (1) Several transfers of P. haemolytica strains on blood agar medium did not cause a decrease in enzyme activity. (2) P. haemolytica serotypes 2 and 6 produce more neuraminidase than P. haemolytica serotype 1, P. multocida, and P. testudinis isolates. (3) There was no apparent change in neuraminidase production by P. haemolytica serotypes 1 and 2 obtained from the same animal taken on different days in the feedyard. (4) There was no significant change in neuraminidase production by P. haemolytica serotype 2 isolates taken from the same animal at the auction market and later at the feedyard.

Abstract
The properties of an extracellular neuraminidase produced by a Pasteurella multocida A:3 strain that was isolated in a case of bovine pneumonia were examined during growth in a defined medium. This enzyme (isolated from concentrated culture supernatants of P. multocida A:3) was active against N-acetylneuramin lactose, human alpha-1-acid glycoprotein, fetuin, colominic acid, and bovine submaxillary mucin. Enzyme elaboration was correlated with the growth of the organism in a defined medium, with maximum quantities produced in the stationary phase. The enzyme was purified by a combination of ammonium sulfate fractionation, ion exchange on DEAE-Sephacel, and gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. The purified neuraminidase possessed a specific activity of 9.36 mumol of sialic acid released per min per mg of protein against fetuin. The enzyme possessed a pH optimum of 6.0 and a Km of 0.03 mg/ml. The P. multocida A:3 neuraminidase had a molecular weight of approximately 500,000 as estimated by gel filtration. The enzyme was stable at 4 and 37 degrees C for 3 h. Approximately 75% of the neuraminidase activity was lost within 30 min at 50 degrees C. Greater than 90% of the enzyme activity was destroyed within 10 min at temperatures of > or = 65 degrees C. The P. multocida neuraminidase does not appear to be serologically related to the Pasteurella haemolytica A1 neuraminidase since antiserum prepared against the purified P. haemolytica enzyme did not neutralize the P. multocida enzyme.

Abstract
Two mutants of Pasteurella haemolytica A1 that do not produce leukotoxin were isolated. Following mutagenesis, colonies were screened with antiserum by a filter assay for absence of the secreted leukotoxin. The two mutants both appeared to produce normal amounts of other antigens, as judged by reactivity with polyclonal serum from an animal with pasteurellosis, and were not altered in beta-hemolytic activity as seen on blood agar plates. There was no evidence of either cell-associated or secreted leukotoxin protein when Western blots (immunoblots) were carried out with the polyclonal serum or with a monoclonal antibody directed against the leukotoxin. Southern blots revealed that both mutants show the wild-type restriction pattern at the leukotoxin locus, although the strain with the lktA2 mutation showed differences in other regions of the chromosome on analysis by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. The strain with the lktA2 mutation grew more slowly than did the wild-type strain, while the strain with the lktA1 mutation was indistinguishable from the wild-type strain in its growth properties. The strain with the lktA1 mutation should be valuable in determining the role of the leukotoxin in virulence as well as in identifying other virulence factors of P. haemolytica.

Abstract
Antigenic properties of two mutants of Pasteurella haemolytica, strains 59B0071 and 59B0072, that do not produce detectable leukotoxin were investigated. Western blot (immunoblot) analysis with a number of polyclonal sera from animals recovering from pasteurellosis revealed that both mutants secreted a variety of antigens that were also present in cultures of several wild-type strains. These antigens ranged from about 100 to 15 kDa. Mutant strain 59B0071 was found to be totally deficient in leukotoxin, as judged not only by Western blotting but also by cytotoxicity assays with bovine lymphoma (BL-3) cells or bovine polymorphonuclear cells as targets. The mutant strain 59B0071 had normal levels of a secreted sialylglycoprotease, however. When strains were tested for virulence in goat and cattle challenge experiments, a reduction in mortality and lung lesions was observed with the mutant 59B0071 in comparison with results obtained with wild-type strains. These results are consistent with an important role for leukotoxin in P. haemolytica virulence and suggest that leukotoxin-negative mutants may be useful tools in the investigation of other virulence properties involved in P. haemolytica infections.

Abstract
Proliferation of Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 in the nasal cavity following stress or viral infection is an important event in the pathogenesis of bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis. Enhanced adhesion of P. haemolytica to nasal mucosa could be one factor that predisposes animals to this proliferation. Nasal mucosa from normal and bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV1)-infected cattle were examined histochemically for their glycoconjugate composition. Twenty lectins were screened, six of which were chosen for subsequent study. Three of these were specific for N-acetylgalactosamine (NAGal) (Dolichos biflorus, Glycine max, and Vicia villosa), and one each was specific for N-acetylgalactosamine/galactose (Griffonia simplicifolia-I), mannose/glucose (Canavalia ensiformis), and N-acetylglucosamine (Triticum vulgaris). For the surface mucosa and submucosal glands, there was greater reactivity in samples from BHV1-infected than from normal cattle for all six lectins. Reactivity was most prominent for the NAGal-specific lectins. Neuraminidase treatment of samples from normal and BHV1-infected cattle tended to result in greater lectin reactivity. Lectin reactivity was generally more intense in focally inflamed areas, but diffuse reactivity was not substantially affected by inflammation. BHV1-induced alteration of nasal mucosal glycoconjugates could enhance adhesion and colonization of P. haemolytica to nasal surfaces and may be one factor responsible for the increased number of P. haemolytica serotype 1 in the nasal cavity following viral infection.

Abstract
Nine goats were injected transthoracically with Pasteurella haemolytica A1 to determine if an extracellular bacterial enzyme, neuraminidase, was produced in vivo during infection with this organism. The principal group of goats (n = 9) each received 1 ml of 7.25 x 10(5) live P. haemolytica A1 cells in polyacrylate beads transthoracically in the left lung on days 0 and 21. Six goats were used as negative controls and received 0.3 g of polyacrylate beads subcutaneously in the right flank on days 0 and 21. Serum was obtained from all animals on days -4, 3, 7, 14, 21, 24, and 32. Preimmune serum from all animals showed no detectable antibody to P. haemolytica A1 neuraminidase in an enzyme neutralization assay. None of the sera from the negative control animals possessed a significant antibody concentration in response to the P. haemolytica A1 neuraminidase. On day 32, serum samples from the nine infected animals possessed enzyme neutralizing activity that ranged from 62% to 100%. Anti-neuraminidase antibody could be detected as early as day 14 by the enzyme neutralization assay. These data demonstrate that the enzyme neuraminidase is produced in vivo during an active P. haemolytica A1 lobar infection.

Abstract
Log phase culture supernate from Pasteurella haemolytica biotype A, serotype 1 contains a proteolytic enzyme specific for O-sialoglycoproteins. Using two methods, Western immunoblotting and enzyme neutralization assay, it was demonstrated that certain bovine sera from two previous P. haemolytica A1 vaccination and challenge trials contained antibodies (Ab) (isotypes IgG1 and IgG2 on Western immunoblot) to the sialoglycoprotease (Gcp). In these trials, selected calves were vaccinated twice with either the commercial culture supernate vaccine Presponse or given phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). One trial was conducted during spring, P. haem XIX, and the other during the winter, P. haem XXI. Although there was no clear evidence for induction of anti-Gcp in response to vaccination, several calves seroconverted following intrapulmonary challenge with live P. haemolytica A1. This is the first report of anti-Gcp Ab in bovine sera. The results indicated that the Gcp is immunogenic and that the bacterium produces the enzyme in vivo. Further, animals with an anti-Gcp response had less pneumonia at necropsy, suggesting the Gcp may induce protective immunity.

Abstract
Neuraminidases produced by 16 strains of Pasteurella haemolytica (serotypes 1 to 16) were characterized by molecular weight, antigenic identity, and substrate specificity. After growth in a chemically defined medium, stage I (lyophilized) culture supernatants were assayed for activity with N-acetylneuramin lactose, human alpha-1-acid glycoprotein, fetuin, colominic acid, and bovine submaxillary mucin. Neuraminidase produced by P. haemolytica serotype A1 (Ph A1) was purified by a combination of salt fractionation, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel, and gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. Purified Ph A1 neuraminidase was used to immunize rabbits, and the resultant antiserum reduced the activity of Ph A1 neuraminidase by 46%. This antiserum also reduced the activity of neuraminidase produced by the other serotypes by between 15 and 66%. Molecular weight estimates of the neuraminidases produced by the various serotypes were obtained by gel filtration chromatography on Sephadex G-200. Fifteen of the 16 serotypes examined produced a neuraminidase with a molecular weight of approximately 150,000 to 200,000. One serotype (serotype 11) produced no material with neuraminidase activity. In addition, all 15 high-molecular-weight neuraminidases showed similar substrate specificities. That is, they were all most active against N-acetylneuramin lactose and least active against bovine submaxillary mucin. On the basis of these results, it appears that the high-molecular-weight neuraminidases produced by the different P. haemolytica serotypes are quite similar.
