| Popis: | The oral spirochete Treponema denticola is closely associated with periodontal diseases in humans. The 53-kDa major surface protein (Msp) located in the outer membrane of T. denticola serovar a (ATCC 35405) has both pure-forming activity and adhesin activity. We have used standard patch clamp recording methods to study the effects of a partially purified outer membrane complex containing Msp on HeLd cells. The Msp complex was free of the chymotrypsin-like proteinase also found in the outer membrane of T. denticola. Msp bound to several HeLd cell proteins, including a 65-kDa surface protein and a 96-kDa cytoplasmic protein. The Msp complex depolarized and increased the conductance of the HeLd cell membrane in a manner which was not strongly selective for Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Cl- ions. Cell-attached patches of HeLa cell membrane exposed to Msp complex exhibited short-lived channels with a slope conductance of 0.4 nS in physiologically normal saline. These studies show that Msp binds both a putative epithelial cell surface receptor and cytoplasmic proteins and that the Msp complex can form large conductance ion channels in the cytoplasmic membrane of epithelial cells. These properties may contribute to the cytopathic effects of T. denticola on host epithelial cells. published_or_final_version |
