malfunction | wild-type Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain FA1090 has a survival advantage relative to a PEA transferase A (lptA) mutant in the human urethral-challenge and murine lower genital tract infection models. Purified lipooligosaccharide containing lipid A devoid of the phosphoethanolamine modification and an lptA mutant of strain FA19 induce significantly lower levels of NF-kappaB in human embryonic kidney Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) cells and murine embryonic fibroblasts than wild-type lipooligosaccharide of the parent strain. Vaginal proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines are not elevated in female mice infected with the isogenic lptA mutant, in contrast to mice infected with the wild-type and complemented lptA mutant bacteria. lptA mutant bacteria are more susceptible to human and murine cathelicidins due to increased binding by these peptides and that the differential induction of NF-kappaB by wild-type and unmodified lipid A is more pronounced in the presence of cationic antimicrobial peptides. Wild-type but not lptA mutant gonococci induce a proinflammatory response during infection | Neisseria gonorrhoeae |
physiological function | wild-type Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain FA1090 has a survival advantage relative to a PEA transferase A (lptA) mutant in the human urethral-challenge and murine lower genital tract infection models. Wild-type lipid A stimulates the humanTLR4-MD2-CD14 complex | Neisseria gonorrhoeae |
