摘要

Autoinducer 2 (AI-2) produced by the oral pathogen Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans influences growth of the organism under iron limitation and regulates the expression of iron uptake genes. However, the cellular components that mediate the response of A. actinomycetemcomitans to AI-2 have not been fully characterized. Analysis of the complete genome sequence of A. actinomycetemcomitans (www.oralgen.lanl.gov) indicated that the RbsB protein was related to LuxP, the AI-2 receptor of Vibrio harveyi. To determine if RbsB interacts with AI-2, the bioluminescence of the reporter strain V. harveyi BB170 (sensor 1?, sensor 2+) was determined after stimulation with partially purified AI-2 from A. actinomycetemcomitans or conditioned medium from V. harveyi cultures in the presence and absence of purified six-His-tagged RbsB. RbsB efficiently inhibited V. harveyi bioluminescence induced by both A. actinomycetemcomitans AI-2 and V. harveyi AI-2 in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting that RbsB competes with LuxP for AI-2. Fifty percent inhibition occurred with approximately 0.3 nM RbsB for A. actinomycetemcomitans AI-2 and 15 nM RbsB for V. harveyi AI-2. RbsB-mediated inhibition of V. harveyi bioluminescence was reversed by the addition of 50 mM ribose, suggesting that A. actinomycetemcomitans AI-2 and ribose bind at the same site of RbsB. The RbsB/AI-2 complex was thermostable since A. actinomycetemcomitans AI-2 could not be recovered by heating. This was not due to heat inactivation of A. actinomycetemcomitans AI-2 since signal activity was unaffected by heating in the absence of RbsB. Furthermore, an isogenic A. actinomycetemcomitans mutant that was unable to express rbsB was deficient in depleting A. actinomycetemcomitans AI-2 from solution relative to the wild-type organism. Inactivation of rbsB also influenced the ability of the organism to grow under iron-limiting conditions. The mutant strain attained a cell density of approximately 30% that of the wild-type organism under iron limitation. In addition, real-time PCR showed that the expression of afuABC, encoding a major ferric ion transporter, was reduced by approximately eightfold in the rbsB mutant. This phenotype was similar to that of a LuxS-deficient mutant of A. actinomycetemcomitans that is unable to produce AI-2. Together, our results suggest that RbsB may play a role in the response of A. actinomycetemcomitans to AI-2.
