Chaperone activity of serine protease HtrA of Helicobacter pylori as a crucial survival factor under stress conditions

Abstract: BackgroundSerine protease HtrA exhibits both proteolytic and chaperone activities, which are involved in cellular protein quality control. Moreover, HtrA is an important virulence factor in many pathogens including Helicobacter pylori, for which the crucial stage of infection is the cleavage of E-cadherin and other cell-to-cell junction proteins.MethodsThe in vitro study of H. pylori HtrA (HtrAHp) chaperone activity was carried out using light scattering assays and investigation of lysozyme protein aggregates.… Show more

“…Chaperone serine proteases and monothiol glutaredoxin were also acquired. A very recent research on serine protease in helicobacter pyori has claimed to function under stress conditions 58 . Membrane trafficking genes such as ArsR family transcriptional regulator, arsenate/arsenite/antimonite-responsive transcriptional repressor and CU + /H + antiporter were also acquired giving them resistance to high metal toxicity.…”

“…Moreover, excessive amounts of calcium ions seem to prevent the HtrA-related E-cadherin cleavage along with the additional stabilization of the junctions [ 358 ]. Furthermore, H. pylori strains that are deprived of HtrA are much more sensitive to particular conditions, including elevated temperature, osmotic shock, or treatment with puromycin [ 359 , 360 ]. Indeed, HtrA constitutes a crucial protective factor that prevents H. pylori from numerous stress conditions, enabling effective bacterial colonization within the gastric mucosa.…”

“…6A, left panel, lane 2), suggesting direct binding of Zn ++ to HpHtrA. Using a thermal shift assay, we first determined the melting temperature of about 75 °C for HpHtrA wt, which is quite high and indicates an enhanced stability that enables survival under stress conditions 30,49 . Mutation of D 165 and S 166 resulted in an increase in the thermal denaturation of HpHtrA, while S 164 and D 168 mutations did not alter stability ( Fig.…”

“…The development of a substrate-derived peptide inhibitor further emphasized the significance of HtrA activity in H. pylori pathogenesis 11 . Importantly, bacterial HtrA also functions as a chaperone that refolds and degrades misfolded proteins under stress conditions 30 . Due to this important function in bacterial physiology, HtrA expression is essential for H. pylori.…”
