Rhesus immune responses to SIV Gag expressed by recombinant BCG vectors are independent from pre-existing mycobacterial immunity. Vaccine 2015; 33:5715-5722. [PMID: 26192357 DOI: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2015.07.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2014] [Revised: 06/02/2015] [Accepted: 07/07/2015] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND A recombinant Mycobacterium bovis BCG (rBCG) vector expressing HIV transgenes is an attractive candidate as a dual vaccine against HIV and TB. However, pre-existing immune responses to mycobacteria may influence immune responses to rBCG. We analyzed data from a rhesus rBCG trial to determine the effect of pre-existing mycobacterial immune responses on the vaccine-induced responses to the vector and expressed transgene. METHODS Indian-origin rhesus macaques were primed with rBCG expressing simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) Gag and boosted with attenuated vaccinia NYVAC gag-pol. Mycobacteria responses were measured by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) purified protein derivative (PPD) interferon-γ ELISpot and Mtb whole cell lysate (WCL) ELISA. SIV Gag responses were measured by SIV Gag ELISpot and by p11C tetramer binding. RESULTS Baseline Mtb PPD ELISpot responses and Mtb WCL antibody responses in rhesus macaques overlapped those in human populations. Cellular and antibody responses boosted sharply 4 weeks after rBCG vaccination. Mtb WCL antibody titers at 4 weeks correlated with baseline titers. Primates vaccinated with rBCG developed strong SIV Gag ELISpot and p11C tetramer responses after rBCG prime and NYVAC boost. There were no correlations between the pre-existing mycobacterial immune responses and the SIV Gag T cell responses after vaccination. CONCLUSIONS Rhesus immune responses to SIV Gag expressed by rBCG vectors were independent from pre-existing anti-mycobacterial immunity. Rhesus macaques may serve as a surrogate for investigations of pre-existing anti-mycobacterial immunity in humans.

Ultra-low dose of Mycobacterium tuberculosis aerosol creates partial infection in mice. Tuberculosis (Edinb) 2012; 92:160-5.

Abstract
A murine low dose (LD) aerosol model is commonly used to test tuberculosis vaccines. Doses of 50-400 CFU (24h lung CFU) infect 100% of exposed mice. The LD model measures progression from infection to disease based on organ CFU at defined time points. To mimic natural exposure, we exposed mice to an ultra-low dose (ULD) aerosol. We estimated the presented dose by sampling the aerosol. Female C57BL/6 mice were exposed to Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv aerosol at 1.0, 1.1, 1.6, 5.4, and 11 CFU presented dose, infecting 27%, 36%, 36%, 100%, and 95% of mice, respectively. These data are compatible with a stochastic infection event (Poisson distribution, weighted R(2)=0.97) or with a dose-response relationship (sigmoid distribution, weighted R(2)=0.97). Based on the later assumption, the ID50 was 1.6CFU presented dose (95% confidence interval, 1.2-2.1). We compared organ CFU after ULD and LD aerosols (5.4 vs. 395CFU presented dose). Lung burden was 30-fold lower in the ULD model at 4 weeks (3.4 vs. 4.8 logs, p<0.001) and 18 weeks (≤3.6 vs. 5.0 logs, p=0.01). Mice exposed to ULD aerosols as compared to LD aerosols had greater within-group CFU variability. Exposure to ULD aerosols leads to infection in a subset of mice, and to persistently low organ CFU. The ULD aerosol model may resemble human pulmonary tuberculosis more closely than the standard LD model, and may be used to identify host or bacterial factors that modulate the initial infection event.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Multiple factors influence the viability of aerosolized bacteria. The delivery of aerosols is affected by chamber conditions (humidity, temperature, and pressure) and bioaerosol characteristics (particle number, particle size distribution, and viable aerosol concentration). Measurement of viable aerosol concentration and particle size is essential to optimize viability and lung delivery. The Madison chamber is widely used to expose small animals to infectious aerosols. METHODS A multiplex sampling port was added to the Madison chamber to measure the chamber conditions and bioaerosol characteristics. Aerosols of three pathogens (Bacillus anthracis, Yersinia pestis, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis) were generated under constant conditions and their bioaerosol characteristics were analyzed. Airborne microbes were captured using an impinger or BioSampler. The particle size distribution of airborne microbes was determined using an aerodynamic particle sizer (APS). Viable aerosol concentration, spray factor (viable aerosol concentration/inoculum concentration), and dose presented to the mouse were calculated. Dose retention efficiency and viable aerosol retention rate were calculated from the sampler titers to determine the efficiency of microbe retention in lungs of mice. RESULTS B. anthracis, Y. pestis, and M. tuberculosis aerosols were sampled through the port. The count mean aerodynamic sizes were 0.98, 0.77, and 0.78 μm with geometric standard deviations of 1.60, 1.90, and 2.37, and viable aerosol concentrations in the chamber were 211, 57, and 1 colony-forming unit (CFU)/mL, respectively. Based on the aerosol concentrations, the doses presented to mice for the three pathogens were 2.5e5, 2.2e4 and 464 CFU. DISCUSSION Using the multiplex sampling port we determined whether the animals were challenged with an optimum bioaerosol based on dose presented and respirable particle size.

Study of the role of CCR5 in a mouse model of intranasal challenge with Yersinia pestis. Microbes Infect 2007; 9:1135-8.

Abstract
CCR5 is a chemokine receptor used by HIV-1 to enter cells and has recently been found to act as a pathogen associated molecule pattern receptor. Current positive selection for the high frequency of a CCR5-Delta32 allele in humans has been attributed to resistance to HIV, smallpox, and plague infections. Using an intranasal mouse model of Y. pestis infection, we have found that lack of CCR5 does not enhance host resistance to Y. pestis infection and that CCR5-mediated responses might have a protective role. CCR5-/- mice exhibited higher levels of circulating RANTES and MIP-1alpha than those exhibited by wild-type mice at the baseline and throughout the course of Y. pestis infection. High levels of RANTES and MIP-1alpha, which are CCR5 ligands that mediate Natural Killer cell migration, may reflect compensation for the absence of CCR5 signaling.

The TolQRA proteins are required for membrane insertion of the major capsid protein of the filamentous phage f1 during infection. J Bacteriol 1998; 180:1723-8.

Abstract
Infection of Escherichia coli by the filamentous bacteriophage f1 is initiated by interaction of the end of the phage particle containing the gene III protein with the tip of the F conjugative pilus. This is followed by the translocation of the phage DNA into the cytoplasm and the insertion of the major phage capsid protein, pVIII, into the cytoplasmic membrane. DNA transfer requires the chromosomally encoded TolA, TolQ, and TolR cytoplasmic membrane proteins. By using radiolabeled phages, it can be shown that no pVIII is inserted into the cytoplasmic membrane when the bacteria contain null mutations in tolQ, -R and -A. The rate of infection can be varied by using bacteria expressing various mutant TolA proteins. Analysis of the infection process in these strains demonstrates a direct correlation between the rate of infection and the incorporation of infecting bacteriophage pVIII into the cytoplasmic membrane.

Abstract
Infection of Escherichia coli by the filamentous phage f1 is initiated by binding of the phage to the tip of the F conjugative pilus via the gene III protein. Subsequent translocation of phage DNA requires the chromosomally encoded TolQ, TolR, and TolA proteins, after the pilus presumably has withdrawn, bringing the phage to the bacterial surface. Of these three proteins, TolA is proposed to span the periplasm, since it contains a long helical domain (domain II), which connects a cytoplasmic membrane anchor domain (domain I) to the carboxyl-terminal domain (domain III). By using a transducing phage, the requirement for TolA in an F+ strain was found to be absolute. The role of TolA domains II and III in the infective process was examined by analyzing the ability of various deletion mutants of tolA to facilitate infection. The C-terminal domain III was shown to be essential, whereas the polyglycine region separating domains I and II could be deleted with no effect. Deletion of helical domain II reduced the efficiency of infection, which could be restored to normal by retaining the C-terminal half of domain II. Soluble domain III, expressed in the periplasm but not in the cytoplasm or in the medium, interfered with infection of a tolA+ strain. The essential interaction of TolA domain III with phage via gene III protein appears to require interaction with a third component, either the pilus tip or a periplasmic entity.

Abstract
The 421-residue protein TolA is required for the translocation of group A colicins (colicins E1, E2, E3, A, K, and N) across the cell envelope of Escherichia coli. Mutations in TolA can render cells tolerant to these colicins and cause hypersensitivity to detergents and certain antibiotics, as well as a tendency to leak periplasmic proteins. TolA contains a long alpha-helical domain which connects a membrane anchor to the C-terminal domain, which is required for colicin sensitivity. The functional role of the alpha-helical domain was tested by deletion of residues 56 to 169 (TolA delta1), 166 to 287 (TolA delta2), or 54 to 287 (TolA delta3) of the alpha-helical domain of TolA, which removed the N-terminal half, the C-terminal half, or nearly the entire alpha-helical domain of TolA, respectively. TolA and TolA deletion mutants were expressed from a plasmid in an E. coli strain producing no chromosomally encoded TolA. Cellular sensitivity to the detergent deoxycholate was increased for each deletion mutant, implying that more than half of the TolA alpha-helical domain is necessary for cell envelope stability. Removal of either the N- or C-terminal half of the alpha-helical domain resulted in a slight (ca. 5-fold) decrease in cytotoxicity of the TolA-dependent colicins A, E1, E3, and N compared to cells producing wild-type TolA when these mutants were expressed alone or with TolQ, -R, and -B. In cells containing TolA delta3, the cytotoxicity of colicins A and E3 was decreased by a factor of >3,000, and K+ efflux induced by colicins A and N was not detectable. In contrast, for colicin E1 action on TolA delta3 cells, there was little decrease in the cytotoxic activity (<5-fold) or the rate of K+ efflux, which was similar to that from wild-type cells. It was concluded that the mechanism(s) by which cellular uptake of colicin E1 is mediated by the TolA protein differs from that for colicins A, E3, and N. Possible explanations for the distinct interaction and unique translocation mechanism of colicin E1 are discussed.

Abstract
The TolA protein is involved in maintaining the integrity of the outer membrane of Escherichia coli, as mutations in tolA cause the bacteria to become hypersensitive to detergents and certain antibiotics and to leak periplasmic proteins into the medium. This protein also is required for the group A colicins to exert their effects and for many of the filamentous single-stranded bacteriophage to infect the bacterial cell. TolA is a three-domain protein, with the amino-terminal domain anchoring it to the inner membrane. The helical second domain is proposed to span the periplasmic space to allow the carboxyl-terminal third domain to interact with the outer membrane. A plasmid that allowed the synthesis and transport of the carboxyl-terminal third domain into the periplasmic space was constructed. The presence of an excess of this domain in the periplasm of a wild-type cell resulted in an increased sensitivity to deoxycholate, the release of periplasmic alkaline phosphatase and RNase into the medium, and an increased tolerance to colicins E1, E2, E3, and A. There was no effect on the cells' response to colicin D, which depends on TonB instead of TolA for its action. The presence of the free carboxyl-terminal domain of TolA in the periplasm in a tolA null mutation did not restore the wild-type phenotype, suggesting that this domain must be part of the intact TolA molecule to perform its function. Our results are consistent with a model in which the carboxyl-terminal domain of TolA interacts with components in the periplasm or on the inner surface of the outer membrane to function in maintaining the integrity of this membrane.

Abstract
Overexpression of OmpC protein from an inducible plasmid vector reduced the amount of the precursor form of LamB protein in LamB signal sequence mutants. The stability of the precursor form of LamB protein was not affected, indicating that the effect of OmpC overexpression was on the synthesis of the precursor rather than on degradation. These results indicate that a functional signal sequence is not required on an outer membrane protein for it to be a target for translational control.

Abstract
The regulation of synthesis and export of outer membrane proteins of Escherichia coli was examined by overexpressing ompC in multicopy either from its own promoter or from an inducible promoter in an expression vector. Overexpression of OmpC protein resulted in a nearly complete inhibition of synthesis of the OmpA and LamB outer membrane proteins but had no effect on synthesis of the periplasmic maltose-binding protein. Immunoprecipitation of labeled proteins showed no evidence of accumulation of uncleaved precursor forms of OmpA or maltose-binding protein following induction of OmpC overexpression. The inhibition of OmpA and LamB was tightly coupled to OmpC overexpression and occurred very rapidly, reaching a high level within 2 min after induction. OmpC overexpression did not cause a significant decrease in expression of a LamB-LacZ hybrid protein produced from a lamB-lacZ fusion in which the fusion joint was at the second amino acid of the LamB signal sequence. There was no significant decrease in rate of synthesis of ompA mRNA as measured by filter hybridization of pulse-labeled RNA. These results indicate that the inhibition is at the level of translation. We propose that cells are able to monitor expression of exported proteins by sensing occupancy of some limiting component in the export machinery and use this to regulate translation of these proteins.

Abstract
The domain structure of human plasma fibronectin was investigated by using heparin-binding and antibody reactivity of fibronectin and its proteolytically derived fragments. Digestion of human plasma fibronectin with a combination of trypsin and cathepsin D produced six major fragments. Affinity chromatography showed that one fragment (Mr 45 000) binds to gelatin and three fragments (Mr 31 000, 36 000, and 61 000) bind to heparin. The 31K fragment corresponds to NH2-terminal fragments isolated from other species. The 36K and 61K fragments are derived from a region near the C-terminus of the molecule and appear to be structurally related as demonstrated by two-dimensional peptide maps. A protease-sensitive fragment (Mr 137 000), which binds neither gelatin nor heparin but which has been shown previously to be chemotactic for cells [Postlethwaite, A. E., Keski-Oja, J., Balian, G., & Kang, A. H. (1981) J. Exp. Med. 153, 494-499], separates the NH2-terminal heparin- and gelatin-binding fragments from the C-terminal 36K and 61K heparin-binding fragments. A monoclonal antibody to fibronectin that recognized the 61K heparin-binding fragment was used to isolate a sixth fragment (Mr 34 000) that did not bind to heparin or gelatin and that represents a difference between the 61K and 36K heparin-binding fragments. Cathepsin D digestion produced an 83K heparin-binding, monoclonal antibody reactive fragment that contains the interchain disulfide bond(s) linking the two fibronectin chains at their C-termini. The data indicate that plasma fibronectin is a heterodimeric molecule consisting of two very similar but not identical chains (A and B). In contrast, enzymatic digestion of cellular fibronectin produced a 50K heparin-binding fragment lacking monoclonal antibody reactivity which suggests that the cellular fibronectin subunit is similar to the plasma A chain in enzyme susceptibility but contains a larger heparin-binding domain. A model relating the differences in the three fibronectin polypeptides to differences in published cDNA sequences is presented.

Abstract
Preferential labeling of COOH-terminal sequences in newly synthesized fibronectin was achieved by short term incorporation of radiolabeled amino acids in the presence of pactamycin, an inhibitor of polypeptide chain initiation. The labeled fibronectin was then cleaved with cathepsin D under conditions that yield a large (137,000-dalton) fragment that lacks collagen-binding properties, and a smaller (72,000-dalton) fragment that retains the ability of fibronectin to bind to collagen. Determination of the relative specific radioactivities of the two fragments leads us to conclude that the collagen-binding domain in fibronectin is located in the NH2-terminal third of the polypeptide chain and not in a COOH-terminal region as previously indicated by other structural studies.

Abstract
Limited proteolytic cleavage of fibronectin and plasma cold-insoluble globulin with cathepsin D produced two major fragments. The smaller, Mr = 72,000 fragment bound to collagen and contained most of the cysteine in the molecule. This region contains intrachain disulfide bonds which maintain a conformation that is necessary for interaction with collagen. Cleavage of the intact protein and the 72,000-dalton fragment with plasmin localized the collagen-binding region in cold-insoluble globulin to a sequence of about 42,000 daltons. This region is located approximately two-thirds of the linear distance from the NH2 terminus of each chain in the dimeric molecule.

Abstract
Human amniotic fluid fibronectin and plasma fibronectin (cold-insoluble globulin) are indistinguishable both immunologically and by amino acid composition. Cyanogen bromide and tryptic peptides also suggest substantial structural homology. However, carbohydrate analysis has demonstrated additional saccharides in fibronectin and an overall increase in carbohydrate content relative to cold-insoluble globulin. Furthermore, limited proteolytic cleavage of the two proteins indicates differences in primary structure or in conformation. Using affinity-purified antibodies to cold-insoluble globulin, a glucosamine-labeled pronase-resistant component, probably proteoglycan, was found to coprecipitate with fibronectin, suggesting an association between these two macromolecules in the connective tissue matrix.

Abstract
Tadpole collagenase (EC 3.4.24.3) cleaved chick cranial bone procollagen into two triple-stranded fragments, PCA and PCB. Only PCB, with an estimated molecular weight of about 60,000 for each component chain after reduction, was found to contain interchain disulfide bonds. The analogous cleavage of collagen is known to produce a large NH2-terminal fragment with a molecular weight of 70,000 for each chain and a small COOH-terminal fragment containing chains of about 25,000 molecular weight. Since PCB was too small to represent the product NH2-terminal to the site of collagenase cleavage, localization of interchain disulfide bonds to a COOH-terminal domain in procollagen was indicated. This assignment was conformed by Dintzis-type short-term labeling experiments. Procollagen obtained by acid extraction of bone lacked the COOH-terminal disulfide-bonded domain. The findings support a model for procollagen consisting of three proalpha chains each containing nonhelical NH2-terminal extensions of 20,000 molecular weight and COOH-terminal extensions of about 35,000 molecular weight, the latter linked by interchani disulfide bonds.
