evolution | expression of IgA proteases is variable from strain to strain among NTHi. Analysis of IgA protease expression by 101 persistent strains (median duration of persistence) collected longitudinally from patients enrolled in a 20-year study of COPD upon initial acquisition and immediately before clearance from the host. Upon acquisition, 89 (88%) express IgA protease. A total of 16 of 101 (16%) strains of NTHi alter expression of IgA protease during persistence. Indels and slipped-strand mispairing of mononucleotide repeats confer changes in expression of igaA2. Mechanism of changes in expression, overview | Haemophilus influenzae NTHI |
physiological function | nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) expresses four IgA protease variants (A1, A2, B1, and B2) that play different roles in virulence | Haemophilus influenzae NTHI |
