    Abstract Phenotype MicroArrays (PMs) provide a considerable benefit to the evaluation of potential vaccine/drug targets and the assessment of hypothetical protein function. Nearly 2000 conditions can be screened relatively quickly either to search for phenotypes associated with the loss of a protein or to understand metabolic differences between closely related bacterial isolates. The fastidious organism Neisseria gonorrhoeae presents an experimental challenge for phenotypic screening due to its nutrient restrictions and its autolytic activity upon reaching the stationary phase of growth. These limitations can be mitigated by modulating screening parameters. In this chapter, we describe a technique optimized for the phenotypic screening of N. gonorrhoeae FA1090 and isogenic mutant strains. Inoculum size and culturing times have been adjusted for growth in chemically defined, protein-free Graver-Wade liquid medium in the 96-well microtiter plate format employed by the PMs. With the conditions presented, highly reproducible gonococcal growth is achieved, and autolysis prior to the experimental endpoint is minimized.

    Abstract Secreted proteases have been linked to facilitating the survival of Vibrio cholerae in different environmental niches. Examination of protease activity using various measures is critical to determine the substrate specificity of a given proteolytic enzyme and its biological function. Here, we describe methods to assess collagenolytic activity of the V. cholerae extracellular proteases using synthetic and natural substrates in quantitative and qualitative assays. Purification of the secreted V. cholerae collagenase VchC and extraction of type I collagen from fish skin are also described.

    Abstract Virus-like particles (VLPs) are promising nanotools for the development of subunit vaccines due to high immunogenicity and safety. Herein, we explored the versatile and effective Tag/Catcher-AP205 capsid VLP (cVLP) vaccine platform to address the urgent need for the development of an effective and safe vaccine against gonorrhea. The benefits of this clinically validated cVLP platform include its ability to facilitate unidirectional, high-density display of complex/full-length antigens through an effective split-protein Tag/Catcher conjugation system. To assess this modular approach for making cVLP vaccines, we used a conserved surface lipoprotein, SliC, that contributes to the

    Abstract High-throughput quantitative proteomics unravels secrets of Neisseria gonorrhoeae biology by profiling proteome responses to environmental and endogenous cues and opens translational research paths through identification of vaccine candidates, drug targets/virulence factors, and biomarkers. Bioinformatics tools and databases are indispensable for downstream analysis of proteomic datasets to generate biologically meaningful outcomes. In this chapter, we present a workflow for proteomic data analysis with emphasis on publicly available resources, software systems, and tools that predict protein subcellular localization (CELLO, PSORTb v3.0, SOSUI-GramN, SignalP 4.1, LipoP 1.0, TMHMM 2.0) and functional annotation (EggNOG-mapper 4.5.1., DAVID v6.8, and KEGG) of N. gonorrhoeae proteins. This computational step-by-step procedure may help to foster new hypotheses and to provide insights into the structure-function relationship of proteins.

    Abstract There is an urgent need for vaccines against Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ng), the causative agent of gonorrhea. Vaccination with an outer-membrane vesicle (OMV)-based Neisseria meningitidis (Nm) vaccine provides some protection from Ng; however, the mechanisms underlying this cross-protection are unknown. To address this need, we developed multiplexed bead-based assays for the relative quantification of human and mouse IgG and IgA against Ng antigens. The assays were evaluated for analyte independence, dilutional linearity, specificity, sensitivity, intra- and inter-assay variability, and robustness to sample storage conditions. The assay was then used to test samples from mice and humans immunized with an Nm-OMV vaccine.
