Journal ArticleDOI
The Trw Type IV Secretion System of Bartonella Mediates Host-Specific Adhesion to Erythrocytes
Muriel Vayssier-Taussat,Danielle Le Rhun,Hong Kuan Deng,Francis Biville,Sandra Cescau,Antoine Danchin,Geneviève Marignac,Evelyne Lenaour,Henri Jean Boulouis,Maria Mavris,Lionel Arnaud,Huanming Yang,Jing Wang,Maxime Québatte,Philipp Engel,Henri L Saenz,Christoph Dehio +16 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the laterally acquired Trw T4SS diversified in the Bartonella lineage to facilitate host-restricted adhesion to erythrocytes in a wide range of mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conjugative DNA transfer into human cells by the VirB/VirD4 type IV secretion system of the bacterial pathogen Bartonella henselae.
TL;DR: The data suggest that T4SS-dependent DNA transfer into host cells may occur naturally during human infection with Bartonella and that these chronically infecting pathogens have potential for the engineering of in vivo gene-delivery vectors with applications in DNA vaccination and therapeutic gene therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
An integrative strategy to identify the entire protein coding potential of prokaryotic genomes by proteogenomics.
Ulrich Omasits,Adithi R. Varadarajan,Adithi R. Varadarajan,Michael Schmid,Sandra Goetze,Damianos P. Melidis,Marc Bourqui,Olga Nikolayeva,Maxime Québatte,Andrea Patrignani,Christoph Dehio,Juerg E. Frey,Mark D. Robinson,Bernd Wollscheid,Christian H. Ahrens +14 more
TL;DR: The general applicability of the strategy toward accurate and complete genome annotation consolidates CDSs from multiple reference annotation resources, ab initio gene prediction algorithms and in silico ORFs in an integrated proteogenomics database (iPtgxDB) that covers the entire protein-coding potential of a prokaryotic genome.
Journal ArticleDOI
The BatR/BatS Two-Component Regulatory System Controls the Adaptive Response of Bartonella henselae during Human Endothelial Cell Infection
Maxime Québatte,Michaela Dehio,D. Tropel,Andrea Basler,Isabella Toller,Guenter Raddatz,Philipp Engel,Sonja Huser,Hermine Schein,Hillevi Lindroos,Siv G. E. Andersson,Christoph Dehio +11 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that BatR/BatS two-component system homologs represent vertically inherited pH sensors that control the expression of horizontally transmitted gene sets critical for the diverse host-associated life styles of the alphaproteobacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Directed Shotgun Proteomics Guided by Saturated RNA-seq Identifies a Complete Expressed Prokaryotic Proteome
Ulrich Omasits,Maxime Québatte,Daniel J. Stekhoven,Claudia Fortes,Bernd Roschitzki,Mark D. Robinson,Mark D. Robinson,Christoph Dehio,Christian H. Ahrens +8 more
TL;DR: A dramatic membrane proteome reorganization was observed, including differential regulation of autotransporters, adhesins, and hemin binding proteins, which included expression of all members of the VirB/D4 type IV secretion system, a key virulence factor.
