interleukin-10 induction is an important virulence function of the yersinia pseudotuberculosis type iii effector yopm.pathogenic yersinia species modulate host immune responses through the activity of a plasmid-encoded type iii secretion system and its associated effector proteins. one effector, yopm, is a leucine-rich-repeat-containing protein that is important for virulence in murine models of yersinia infection. although the mechanism by which yopm promotes virulence is unknown, we previously demonstrated that yopm was required for the induction of high levels of the immunosuppressive cytokine interleukin-10 ...201222547545
physiological levels of glucose induce membrane vesicle secretion and affect the lipid and protein composition of yersinia pestis cell surfaces.yersinia pestis grown with physiologic glucose increased cell autoaggregation and deposition of extracellular material, including membrane vesicles. membranes were characterized, and glucose had significant effects on protein, lipid, and carbohydrate profiles. these effects were independent of temperature and the biofilm-related locus pgm and were not observed in yersinia pseudotuberculosis.201323686263
hereditary hemochromatosis predisposes mice to yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection even in the absence of the type iii secretion system.the iron overload disorder hereditary hemochromatosis (hh) predisposes humans to serious disseminated infection with pathogenic yersinia as well as several other pathogens. recently, we showed that the iron-sulfur cluster coordinating transcription factor iscr is required for type iii secretion in y. pseudotuberculosis by direct control of the t3ss master regulator lcrf. in e. coli and yersinia, iscr levels are predicted to be regulated by iron bioavailability, oxygen tension, and oxidative stre ...201627446816
quantification of bacterial indicators and zoonotic pathogens in dairy wastewater ponds.zoonotic pathogens in land-applied dairy wastewaters are a potential health risk. the occurrence and abundance of 10 pathogens and 3 fecal indicators were determined by quantitative real-time pcr (qpcr) in samples from 30 dairy wastewaters from southern idaho. samples tested positive for campylobacter jejuni, stx(1)- and eaea-positive escherichia coli, listeria monocytogenes, mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, and salmonella enterica, with mean recoveries of genomic dna corresponding t ...201222983964
temperature-responsive in vitro rna structurome of yersinia pseudotuberculosis.rna structures are fundamentally important for rna function. dynamic, condition-dependent structural changes are able to modulate gene expression as shown for riboswitches and rna thermometers. by parallel analysis of rna structures, we mapped the rna structurome of yersinia pseudotuberculosis at three different temperatures. this human pathogen is exquisitely responsive to host body temperature (37 °c), which induces a major metabolic transition. our analysis profiles the structure of more than ...201627298343
evaluation of the role of the opggh operon in yersinia pseudotuberculosis and its deletion during the emergence of yersinia pestis.the opggh operon encodes glucosyltransferases that synthesize osmoregulated periplasmic glucans (opgs) from udp-glucose, using acyl carrier protein (acp) as a cofactor. opgs are required for motility, biofilm formation, and virulence in various bacteria. opgh also sequesters ftsz in order to regulate cell size according to nutrient availability. yersinia pestis (the agent of flea-borne plague) lost the opggh operon during its emergence from the enteropathogen yersinia pseudotuberculosis. when ex ...201526150539
type vi secretion system transports zn2+ to combat multiple stresses and host immunity.type vi secretion systems (t6sss) are widespread multi-component machineries that translocate effectors into either eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells, for virulence or for interbacterial competition. herein, we report that the t6ss-4 from yersinia pseudotuberculosis displays an unexpected function in the transportation of zn2+ to combat diverse stresses and host immunity. environmental insults such as oxidative stress induce the expression of t6ss-4 via oxyr, the transcriptional factor that also r ...201526134274
yersinia pseudotuberculosis ip32953 survives and replicates in trophozoites and persists in cysts of acanthamoeba castellanii.yersinia pseudotuberculosis is a foodborne enteric pathogen that causes a mild self-limiting diarrhea in humans. yersinia pseudotuberculosis is able to persist in soil and water and in association with fresh produce, but the mechanism by which it persists is unknown. it has been shown that y. pseudotuberculosis co-occurs with protozoans in these environments; therefore, this study investigates if bacterivorous free-living amoeba (fla) are able to support persistence of y. pseudotuberculosis. coc ...201526025069
reprogramming of yersinia from virulent to persistent mode revealed by complex in vivo rna-seq analysis.we recently found that yersinia pseudotuberculosis can be used as a model of persistent bacterial infections. we performed in vivo rna-seq of bacteria in small cecal tissue biopsies at early and persistent stages of infection to determine strategies associated with persistence. comprehensive analysis of mixed rna populations from infected tissues revealed that y. pseudotuberculosis undergoes transcriptional reprogramming with drastic down-regulation of t3ss virulence genes during persistence whe ...201525590628
fast and sensitive detection of enteropathogenic yersinia by immunoassays.yersinia enterocolitica and yersinia pseudotuberculosis, the two yersinia species that are enteropathogenic for humans, are distributed worldwide and frequently cause diarrhea in inhabitants of temperate and cold countries. y. enterocolitica is a major cause of foodborne disease resulting from consumption of contaminated pork meat and is further associated with substantial economic cost. however, investigation of enteropathogenic yersinia species is infrequently performed routinely in clinical l ...201425355759
genome-wide evaluation of the interplay between caenorhabditis elegans and yersinia pseudotuberculosis during in vivo biofilm formation.the formation of an incapacitating biofilm on caenorhabditis elegans by yersinia pseudotuberculosis represents a tractable model for investigating the genetic basis for host-pathogen interplay during the biofilm-mediated infection of a living surface. previously we established a role for quorum sensing (qs) and the master motility regulator, flhdc, in biofilm formation by y. pseudotuberculosis on c. elegans. to obtain further genome-wide insights, we used transcriptomic analysis to obtain compar ...201425312958
novel genomic tools for specific and real-time detection of biothreat and frequently encountered foodborne pathogens.the bacterial genera escherichia, salmonella, shigella, vibrio, yersinia, and francisella include important food safety and biothreat agents. by extensive mining of the whole genome and protein databases of diverse, closely and distantly related bacterial species and strains, we have identified novel genome regions, which we utilized to develop a rapid detection platform for these pathogens. the specific genomic targets we have identified to design the primers in francisella tularensis subsp. tu ...201222488053
