摘要

Francisella tularensis is a gram-negative, non-sporulating, encapsulated coccobacillus that causes tularemia. F. tularensis is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected insects or animals, ingestion of contaminated water or food, and by inhalation of aerosolized particles. This latter method of infection can cause disease with high morbidity and mortality. In this study we are investigating a novel F. tularensis lipid A late acyltransferase (LpxL) performing complementation studies in E. coli and generating a LpxL mutant in F. tularensis. Further studies are presented of lipid A moieties from lipopolysaccharide (LPS) obtained from F. tularensis, F. novicida, and F. philomiragia. It has been shown that the degree of acylation and other modifications of lipid A influence toxicity. We have developed sensitive mass spectrometric techniques to identify novel low abundance, high mass lipid A structures, unravel their complex acylation states, and characterize unusual sugar modifications.

Tularensis通过感染的昆虫或动物的叮咬传播给人类,摄入污染的水或食物,并通过吸入雾化颗粒。后一种感染方法会导致发病率高和死亡率高的疾病。在该研究中,我们正在研究一种新的F.Tularensis脂质在大肠杆菌中进行辅酰转移酶(LPX1)并在F.Tularensis中产生LPXL突变体。从F.Tultensis,F. Novicida和F. Philomiragia获得的脂多糖(LPS)提出了进一步的研究。已经表明,酰化程度和脂质的其他修饰影响毒性。我们已经开发了敏感的质谱技术,以识别新型低丰度,高质量脂质的结构,解开它们的复杂酰化状态,并表征异常的糖修改。
