| Abstract | cj0371 is a novel gene that is associated with Campylobacter jejuni virulence, and an isogenic mutant of cj0371 showed hyper chemotaxis and motility. Chemotactic motility is an important virulence factor and is involved in C. jejuni pathogenesis. Campylobacter sp. has specific variations of the common chemotaxis components, including histidine autokinase CheA, coupling scaffold protein CheV, chemotaxis response regulator protein CheY and several chemoreceptor proteins. In this study, we used immunoprecipitation combined with LC-MS/MS analyses to screen 6 chemotaxis pathway proteins that potentially interact with the putative protein Cj0371. qRT-PCR was used to quantitatively analyze the expression of these chemotaxis genes and basic flagella genes. The results showed that the expression of cheV, cj1110c, and cj0262c was significantly up-regulated, and 4 flagella genes also had up-regulated expression in the cj0371 mutant. GST pull-down analyses found that Cj0371 interacted with the receiver domain of the CheV protein. Enzyme-coupled spectrophotometric assays showed that the ATPase activity of CheA was higher when Cj0371 was not present in the chemotaxis reaction medium. Therefore, we concludes that cj0371 has a negative influence on C. jejuni chemotaxis, which may occur by adjusting the receiver domain of CheV to influence chemotaxis. This paper provides a new component in the chemotaxis pathway of C. jejuni for the first time and highlight the complexity of this remarkable pathway. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
