Disease relevance of ipgC

 

High impact information on ipgC

  • Invasion plasmid antigen C (IpaC) has been identified as the primary effector protein for Shigella invasion of epithelial cells [3].
  • Nucleotide sequence of invasion plasmid antigen gene ipaA from Shigella flexneri 5 [4].
  • Plasmids expressing His6-IpgC either alone or together with IpaB or IpaC under the control of an IPTG-inducible lac promoter were introduced into ipgC, ipaB or ipaC mutants [5].
  • The first region was cloned into an E. coli HB101 strain containing noninvasive Tn1 insertion mutants of the form I plasmid, and expression of ipa (invasion plasmid antigen) gene products was restored [6].
  • Recombinant plasmids carrying this regulatory gene, designated ipaR, were found to restore full virulence to a non-invasive ipaR::Tn5 insertion mutant [M90T-W(pHS1042)] that had lost the ability to synthesize four Ipa antigens (IpaA, 70 kDa; IpaB, 62 kDa; IpaC, 42 kDa; and IpaD, 37 kDa) [7].
