    Abstract Bacterial binding to host receptors underlies both commensalism and pathogenesis. Many streptococci adhere to protein-attached carbohydrates expressed on cell surfaces using Siglec-like binding regions (SLBRs). The precise glycan repertoire recognized may dictate whether the organism is a strict commensal versus a pathogen. However, it is currently not clear what drives receptor selectivity. Here, we use five representative SLBRs and identify regions of the receptor binding site that are hypervariable in sequence and structure. We show that these regions control the identity of the preferred carbohydrate ligand using chimeragenesis and single amino acid substitutions. We further evaluate how the identity of the preferred ligand affects the interaction with glycoprotein receptors in human saliva and plasma samples. As point mutations can change the preferred human receptor, these studies suggest how streptococci may adapt to changes in the environmental glycan repertoire.

    Abstract Members of the orthosomycin family of natural products are decorated polysaccharides with potent antibiotic activity and complex biosynthetic pathways. The defining feature of the orthosomycins is an orthoester linkage between carbohydrate moieties that is necessary for antibiotic activity and is likely formed by a family of conserved oxygenases. Everninomicins are octasaccharide orthosomycins produced by Micromonospora carbonacea that have two orthoester linkages and a methylenedioxy bridge, three features whose formation logically requires oxidative chemistry. Correspondingly, the evd gene cluster encoding everninomicin D encodes two monofunctional nonheme iron, α-ketoglutarate-dependent oxygenases and one bifunctional enzyme with an N-terminal methyltransferase domain and a C-terminal oxygenase domain. To investigate whether the activities of these domains are linked in the bifunctional enzyme EvdMO1, we determined the structure of the N-terminal methyltransferase domain to 1.1 Å and that of the full-length protein to 3.35 Å resolution. Both domains of EvdMO1 adopt the canonical folds of their respective superfamilies and are connected by a short linker. Each domain's active site is oriented such that it faces away from the other domain, and there is no evidence of a channel connecting the two. Our results support EvdMO1 working as a bifunctional enzyme with independent catalytic activities.

    Abstract A quantitative method for analyzing establishing-efficiency of persistent infection was devised. The efficiency of hPIV2 CA and SV5 T1 strains was found to be high, that is, 0.1 approximately 0.3 (an efficiency of 1.0 indicates that 100% of the virus-infected cells became persistently infected). The efficiency of the SV5 WR strain was also high, approximately 0.1, though the virus had no ability to immediately establish a steady state of persistent infection in whole cell-culture systems. At about 0.0007, the efficiency of SV41 was almost the same as that of the hPIV2 Toshiba strain. The establishing efficiencies of various rSeV were further analyzed in detail. The efficiencies of the rSeV(PA), rSeV(Ppi) and rSeV(HNpi) were below the limit of detection, while that of rSeV(Lpi) was nearly 1. Although the efficiency was around 0.001, the rSeV(Mpi) and the rSeV(Fpi) were unexpectedly found to be capable of forming persistently-infected cells, indicating that both the Fpi and Mpi proteins contribute to the establishing efficiency of persistent infection of SeVpi.

    Abstract When K562 cells were infected with Newcastle disease virus (NDV) or human parainfluenza type 2 virus (hPIV-2), polykaryocyte formation could not be detected. Failure of multinucleated giant cell formation in K562 cells infected with either NDV or hPIV-2 is due to disturbance of the viral envelope-cell fusion step or to defect in the cell-cell fusion step, respectively. Especially, NDV completely replicated in K562 cells, and the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase and fusion proteins expressed on the cell surface of NDV-infected K562 cell were fully functional for fusion inducing activity. Therefore, the cell membranes of K562 cells are considered to be resistant to virus-induced cell fusion. Membrane fusion is regulated by many host factors including membrane fluidity, cytoskeletal systems, and fusion regulatory proteins system. An unknown regulatory mechanism of virus-induced cell fusion may function on the cell surface of K562 cells.
