Abstract

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains produce at least one of two types of enterotoxins: the heat-labile (LT) and heat-stable (ST) toxins, which are responsible for the watery secretory diarrhoea that is a hallmark of the human ETEC infection. One regulatory system that controls the transcription of virulence genes in pathogenic bacteria is the CpxRA two-component system (TCS). We reported that the eltAB bicistronic operon, which encodes for the A and B subunits of LT, was repressed for the CpxRA TCS by direct binding of CpxR-P from -12 to +6 bp with respect to the transcription start site of eltAB. Moreover, the Cpx-response activation down-regulated the transcription of eltAB genes, and this negative effect was CpxRA-dependent. Our data show that CpxRA TCS is a negative regulator of the LT, one of the main virulence determinants of ETEC.

CpxRA双组分系统抑制产肠毒素大肠杆菌热不稳定毒素的基因表达。
产肠毒素大肠杆菌(ETEC)菌株至少产生两种肠毒素中的一种:热不稳定(LT)和热稳定(ST)毒素,它们导致水样分泌性腹泻,这是人类ETEC感染的一个标志。一个控制致病菌毒力基因转录的调控系统是CpxRA双组分系统(TCS)。我们报道了编码LT的A和B亚基的eltAB双电子操纵子,通过直接结合CpxR-P在eltAB转录起始位点的-12至+6 bp处抑制CpxRA TCS。此外,cpx应答激活下调了eltAB基因的转录,并且这种负作用依赖于cpxra。我们的数据表明,CpxRA TCS是ETEC主要毒力决定因素之一的LT的负调节因子。
