Abstract

Secreted and surface proteins of bacteria are key molecules that interface the cell with the environment. Some of them, corresponding to virulence factors, have already been described for Enterococcus faecalis, the predominant species involved in enterococcal nosocomial infections. In a global proteomic approach, the identification of the most abundant secreted and surface-associated proteins of E. faecalis JH2-2 strain was carried out. These proteins were separated by gel electrophoresis or directly subjected to in vivo trypsinolysis and then analyzed by liquid chromatography - electrospray ion trap tandem mass spectrometry. Putative functions were assigned by homology to the translated genomic database of E. faecalis. A total of 44 proteins were identified, eight secreted proteins from the supernatant culture and 38 cell surface proteins from two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and in vivo trypsinolysis among which two are common to the two groups. Their sequences analysis revealed that 35 of the 44 proteins harbour characteristic features (signal peptide or transmembrane domains) consistent with an extracellular localization. This study may be considered as an important step to encourage proteomic-based investigations of E. faecalis cell surface associated proteins that could lead to the discovery of virulence factors and to the development of new therapeutic tools.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
