| Popis: | Mannheimia haemolytica colonizes the nasopharynx of cattle and can cause severe fibrinous pleuropneumonia. IgA proteases are metalloendopeptidases released by bacteria that cleave IgA, enhancing colonization of mucosa. The objectives of these studies were to characterize M. haemolytica IgA1 and IgA2 proteases in vitro and in silico, to clone and sequence the genes for these proteases, and to demonstrate immunogenicity of components of the entire IgA protease molecule. Both IgA protease genes were cloned, expressed, and sequenced. Sequences were compared to other published sequences. Components were used to immunize mice to determine immunogenicity. Sera from healthy cattle and cattle that recovered from respiratory disease were examined for antibodies to IgA proteases. In order to assay the cleavage of bovine IgA with IgA1 protease, M. haemolytica culture supernatant was incubated with bovine IgA. Culture supernatant cleaved purified bovine IgA in the presence of ZnCl2. Both IgA proteases contain three domains, 1) IgA peptidase, 2) PL1_Passenger_AT and 3) autotransporter. IgA1 and IgA2 peptidases have molecular weights of 96.5 and 87 kDa, respectively. Convalescent bovine sera with naturally high anti-M. haemolytica antibody titers had high antibodies against all IgA1 & IgA2 protease components. Mouse immunizations indicated high antibodies to the IgA peptidases and autotransporters but not to PL1_Passenger_AT. These data indicate that M. haemolytica produces two IgA proteases that are immunogenic, can cleave bovine IgA, and are produced in vivo, as evidenced by antibodies in convalescent bovine sera. Further studies could focus on IgA protease importance in pathogenesis and immunity. |
