The Cag Type IV secretion apparatus proteins in Helicobacter pylori can mediate the injection of effector CagA protein into eukaryotic target cells. Although this apparatus forms an important pathway for bacterium-host interaction, its assembly process in vivo is poorly understood, and the proteins which contribute to break the bacterial cell walls in Cag-PAI have not yet been identified. The cagγ gene in Cag-PAI is a unique member that contains a conserved SLT catalysis domain, which makes it an attracting question whether cagy gene has the capacity to digest the bacterial cell wall. In the current study, therefore, the cagγ gene was cloned from the H. pylori NCTC 11637 and expressed in Escherichia coli, and its lytic effect on cell walls in vitro was observed. Results indicated that Cagγ protein has a lytic activity against bacterial cell walls. An allelic-exchange mutant (Δcagγ) was further constructed to investigate the relationship between Cagγ and effector CagA translocation. These results suggested that Cagγ contributed to the assembly of Cag Type IV secretion apparatus by digesting the peptidoglycan meshwork of bacterial cell walls.

D016480 Helicobacter pylori A spiral bacterium active as a human gastric pathogen. It is a gram-negative, urease-positive, curved or slightly spiral organism initially isolated in 1982 from patients with lesions of gastritis or peptic ulcers in Western Australia. Helicobacter pylori was originally classified in the genus CAMPYLOBACTER, but RNA sequencing, cellular fatty acid profiles, growth patterns, and other taxonomic characteristics indicate that the micro-organism should be included in the genus HELICOBACTER. It has been officially transferred to Helicobacter gen. nov. (see Int J Syst Bacteriol 1989 Oct;39(4):297-405).
