Characterization of a cytotoxic pilin subunit of Xenorhabdus nematophila

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2004
Xenorhabdus nematophila is an insect pathogenic bacterium, known to produce protein toxins that kill the larval host. We have described a cytotoxic pilin subunit of X. nematophila, which is expressed on the cell surface and also secreted in the extracellular medium associated with outer membrane vesicles. A 17kDa pilin subunit was isolated and purified

Friend and foe: the two faces of Xenorhabdus nematophila

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2007
Comparisons of mutualistic and pathogenic relationships are necessary to decipher the common language of microorganism-host interactions, as well as the subtle differences in dialect that distinguish types of symbiosis. One avenue towards making such comparisons is to study a single organism that speaks both dialects, such as the gamma-proteobacterium ...

A New Docking Domain Type in the Peptide-Antimicrobial-Xenorhabdus Peptide Producing Nonribosomal Peptide Synthetase from Xenorhabdus bovienii

ACS Chemical Biology, 2020
Nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) produce a wide variety of different natural products from amino acid precursors. In contrast to single protein NRPS, the NRPS of the bacterium Xenorhabdus bovienii producing the peptide-antimicrobial-Xenorhabdus (PAX) peptide consists of three individual proteins (PaxA/B/C), which interact with each other ...

Biosynthesis and function of simple amides in Xenorhabdus doucetiae

Environmental Microbiology, 2017
Summary Xenorhabdus doucetiae , the bacterial symbiont of the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema diaprepesi produces several different fatty acid amides. Their biosynthesis has been studied using a combination of analysis of gene deletions and promoter

Invasion of insect blood tissue by Xenorhabdus bovienii

Research in Microbiology, 2003
Xenorhabdus species are entomopathogenic Gram-negative bacteria that belong to the family Enterobacteriaceae. They exist in two main phenotypic variations referred to as phase I and phase II. Invasion studies showed that Xenorhabdus bovienii phase I, unlike phase II, adhered to and were phagocytosed by Drosophila melanogaster malignant blood neoplasm ...
