anthrax toxin edema factor: a bacterial adenylate cyclase that increases cyclic amp concentrations of eukaryotic cells.anthrax toxin is composed of three proteins: protective antigen (pa), lethal factor (lf), and edema factor (ef). these proteins individually cause no known physiological effects in animals but in pairs produce two toxic actions. injection of pa with lf causes death of rats in 60 min, whereas pa with ef causes edema in the skin of rabbits and guinea pigs. the mechanisms of action of these proteins have not been determined. it is shown here that ef is an adenylate cyclase [atp pyrophosphate-lyase ...19826285339
[the camp system and bacterial toxins].the effects of cytotoxic proteinaceous bacterial toxins on the adenylate cyclase cyclic adenosine monophosphate (camp) system of host cells are reviewed. bacterial exotoxins affecting intracellular camp levels of host cells can be classified into two subgroups: (1) adenosine diphosphate (adp)-ribosyl-transferases and, (2) invasive adenylate cyclases. among the adp-ribosylating toxins are the enterotoxins of vibrio cholerae, of escherichia coli and one of the pertussis toxins termed "islet-activa ...19836317939
bacillus anthracis calmodulin-dependent adenylate cyclase: chemical and enzymatic properties and interactions with eucaryotic cells.studies on the mechanism of action of anthrax toxin have led to the discovery that the edema factor component is a calmodulin-dependent adenylate cyclase. this enzyme can be obtained in milligram amounts at high purity from culture supernatants of avirulent b. anthracis strains. the cyclase binds to and probably enters eucaryotic cells to cause large, unregulated increases in cyclic amp concentrations, an effect that may decrease an animal's ability to limit b. anthracis infection. the similarit ...19846328915

evidence for plasmid-mediated toxin production in bacillus anthracis.large-molecular-weight plasmids were isolated from virulent and avirulent strains of bacillus anthracis. each strain contained a single plasmid species unique from the others with respect to molecular weight. bacterial strains were cured of their resident extrachromosomal gene pools by sequential passage of cultures at 42.5 degrees c. coincidental to the curing of plasmids was a loss of detectable lethal toxin and edema-producing activities and a dramatic decrease in lethal factor and protective ...19836401695
elaboration of bacillus anthracis antigens in a new, defined culture medium.improved culture conditions and a new, completely synthetic medium (r medium) were developed to facilitate the production of bacillus anthracis holotoxin antigens. levels of these antigens up to fivefold greater than the highest previously reported values were recovered with the described system. cultures of sterne, v770-np1-r, and vollum 1b strains of b. anthracis were monitored for growth, ph change, glucose utilization, supernatant protein concentration, lethal toxin activity, and protease ac ...19836401697
differentiation between spores of bacillus anthracis and bacillus cereus by a quantitative immunofluorescence technique.a quantitative immunofluorescence assay based on fiber optic microscopy was used to measure the reaction of formalized spores of bacillus anthracis and bacillus cereus isolates with fluorescein conjugates prepared by hyperimmunization with b. anthracis vollum spores. the spores of 11 of the 20 b. cereus strains reacted with the anti-anthrax conjugate to such an extent that they were indistinguishable from the spores of the several b. anthracis isolates tested. however, absorption of the conjugat ...19836402519
decontamination of bacillus anthracis on gruinard island?in experiments on gruinard island 40 years ago small bombs containing spores of bacillus anthracis were suspended from a gantry and detonated, producing widespread contamination of the island's surface. recently, analysis of soil samples has shown that the area where the spores can now be detected is small enough to be considered for decontamination. we investigated the effect of treating the soil with sporicidal chemicals, namely, potassium permanganate, formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, cidex ('ac ...19836405284
chemical and immunological properties of b. anthracis arginase and its metabolic involvement.an arginase isolated from a capsulated bacillus anthracis strain was highly purified and crystallized. the chemical and immunological characteristics of this enzyme re described. some very important properties differ from those of another bacterial arginase, i.e. staphylococcus aureus arginase, described in a previous paper (soru et al. (2)). the two arginases have different crystallization forms, different molecular weight, km, thermostability, arrhenius activation energy. they have another n-t ...19836406830
comparison of immunoradiometric assays of bacillus anthracis spores immobilised on multispot slides and on microtitre plates.indirect immunoradiometric assays (irma) for bacillus anthracis spores are described in which the spores were heat fixed either on multispot microscope slides or on polyvinyl or polystyrene microtitre plates. assays on plastic plates sometimes suffered from poor intra-experiment reproducibility. signals were higher in assays in flat-bottomed microtitre wells than in assays in slides, but assay noise, due to non-specific absorption of antibody, was higher also, giving an overall disadvantage in s ...19836411819
cloning of the protective antigen gene of bacillus anthracis.the tripartite protein toxin of bacillus anthracis consists of protective antigen (pa), edema factor (ef), and lethal factor (lf). as a first step in developing a more efficacious anthrax vaccine, recombinant plasmids containing the pa gene have been isolated. a library was constructed in the e. coli vector pbr322 from bam hi-generated fragments of the anthrax plasmid, pba1. two clones producing pa were identified by screening lysates with elisa (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). western blots ...19836413077
immunofluorescence analysis of bacillus spores and vegetative cells by flow cytometry.a commercially available flow cytometer (cytofluorograf) was used for the immunofluorescence (if) analysis of spores of bacillus anthracis, bacillus cereus, and bacillus subtilis, using fluorescein-labelled antispore conjugates. the cytometer was modified to allow analysis of known numbers of bacteria. in attempting to identify the region of the cytometer fluorescence histogram associated with the presence of stained spores, evidence was produced for signal components due to antibody bound to ex ...19836414791

comparison of direct and indirect immunoradiometric assays (irma) for bacillus anthracis spores immobilised on multispot microscope slides.a solid phase immunoradiometric assay (irma) is described in which bacillus anthracis spores were heat fixed to the wells of glass multispot microscope slides. assays for spores of b. anthracis vollum and sterne strains with 3h labels were evaluated in the direct and indirect versions. neither single nor signal-to-noise characteristics of indirect assays were greatly improved by the use of immunopurified antibody (ipab) or igg anti-bacterial reagents rather than antiserum. however, the specifici ...19836418708
differentiation of bacillus anthracis and other bacillus species by lectins.bacillus anthracis was agglutinated by several lectins, including those from griffonia simplicifolia, glycine max, abrus precatorius, and ricinus communis. some strains of bacillus cereus var. mycoides (b. mycoides) were strongly reactive with the lectin from helix pomatia and weakly reactive with the g. max lectin. the differential interactions between bacillus species and lectins afforded a means of distinguishing b. anthracis from other bacilli. b. cereus strains exhibited heterogeneity with ...19846418761
quantitative immunofluorescence studies of the serology of bacillus anthracis spores.a fluorescein-conjugated antibody against formalin-inactivated spores of bacillus anthracis vollum reacted only weakly with a variety of bacillus species in microfluorometric immunofluorescence assays. a conjugated antibody against spores of b. anthracis sterne showed little affinity for spores of several b. anthracis isolates including b. anthracis vollum, indicating that more than one anthrax spore serotype exists.19836419678
interspecies transduction of plasmids among bacillus anthracis, b. cereus, and b. thuringiensis.bacteriophage cp-51, a generalized transducing phage for bacillus anthracis, b. cereus, and b. thuringiensis, mediates transduction of plasmid dna. b. cereus gp7 harbors the 2.8-megadalton multicopy tetracycline resistance plasmid, pbc16. b. thuringiensis 4d11a carries pc194, the 1.8-megadalton multicopy chloramphenicol resistance plasmid. when phage cp-51 was propagated on these strains, it transferred the plasmid-encoded antibiotic resistances to the nonvirulent weybridge (sterne) strain of b. ...19846421798
glycosidase activities of bacillus anthracis.bacillus anthracis could be distinguished from the taxonomically related species b. cereus, b. mycoides, and b. thuringiensis by a comparison of glycosidase activities. all the bacilli tested possessed alpha-glucosidase activity, as evidenced by the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl-alpha-d-glucoside. in b. anthracis, the glucosidase activity could be enhanced by the addition of agents which damage cellular surface structures. treatment of b. anthracis strains with toluene. triton x-100, or mutanolysi ...19846429187
glucosamine substitution and muramidase susceptibility in bacillus anthracis.cell walls of bacillus anthracis were found to be resistant to lysozyme, and partially resistant to mutanolysin, a muramidase from streptomyces globisporus. following treatment with acetic anhydride, it was observed that the walls were highly susceptible to hydrolysis by lysozyme or mutanolysin. analyses of cell walls, prior to and following derivatization with fluorodinitrobenzene, revealed that approximately 88% of the glucosamine residues and 34% of the muramic acid residues of the peptidogly ...19846430537
radioactive labels for protein a: evaluation in the indirect immunoradiometric assay (irma) for bacillus anthracis spores.staphylococcus aureus protein a (spa) labelled with [125i] by the bolton & hunter (1973) method performed about as well as labelled sheep anti-rabbit globulin (sar) in an indirect immunoradiometric assay (irma) for bacillus anthracis spores immobilized on multispot microscope slides. spa labelled with [3h] by propionylation also performed well but would be expensive to use. spa labelled with [3h] fluorodinitrobenzene, or labelled with [125i] by the chloramine t reaction gave erratic assay result ...19846430862
[a study of the efficacy of disinfectants against anthrax spores].the activity of disinfectants with regard to spores of bacillus anthracis was determined in a suspension test. creoline (10%) and also several other disinfectants for veterinary use showed no activity against spores of b. anthracis. natriumdichloorisocyanuraat-dihydrate (2400 ppm active chlorine) and peracetic acid 0,25% demonstrated after 30 minutes of exposures at 20 degrees c in the presence of 4% horse serum a significant sporicidal effect. under the same conditions formaldehyde 4% and gluta ...19846431631

[nutrient requirements of bacillus anthracis strains and the growth characteristics of strain sti-1 in batch cultivation on synthetic broths].a synthetic culture medium is proposed. this medium satisfies the nutritional requirements of most cultivated strains under study by a single amino acid: valine. the possibility of detecting strains with other nutritional requirements has been shown. the determination of ld50 in white mice has revealed no differences between the virulence of valine-dependent strains and that of strains with other nutritional requirements. during the batch cultivation of strain sti-1 in a liquid medium glucose sh ...19846431719
enzyme-linked lectinosorbent assay (ella) for detecting bacillus anthracis.an enzyme-linked lectinosorbent assay (ella) has been developed for the rapid identification of bacillus anthracis. using two different lectin-conjugates, the ella test can differentiate bacillus anthracis from closely related species, such as bacillus cereus and bacillus cereus var. mycoides, in approximately two hours. in addition to having high specificity, the test can also detect small numbers of the bacterium.19846432529
