100 kDa, anchored to cell wall at its LPxTG domain in C-terminal region of molecule
Environmentally regulated expression, expression of protein F1 enhanced in O2-rich environment & when GAS adhere to the cutaneous surface
various Fn-binding proteins have different N-terminal domains All contain a peptide that is repeated in tandem from three to
five times (R1, R2, etc) GAS has 5 Fn binding protein(s) protein F1 (Sfb1), protein F2,
PFBP, SOF, & Sfbx Utilize (i) peptide repeat domains to bind Fn (primarily to N-
terminal domain of Fn) & (ii) upper binding domain that reacts with collagen binding domain of Fn e.g. F1 & F2 [such interactions promote efficient entry of GAS into host cells]
Fn is large glycoprotein, 440 kDa, in human blood plasma & extracellular matrix
10 conformational change is a change in the shape of a macromolecule, often induced by environmental factors

FIG.2. Quantification of characteristic primary adhesion profiles of different S. pyogenes serotype strains and S. epidermidis (positive control) to immobilized matrix proteins and polystyrene surfaces. (A) Serotype M1 GAS strain; (B) serotype M2 GAS strain; (C) serotype M6 GAS strain; (D) serotype M18 GAS strain; (E) S. epidermidis (positive control strain). Bacteria were grown in BHI under static conditions at 37°C in ambient air. Adhesion of the bacteria was quantified by safranin staining of potential biofilms and subsequently by measuring absorbance at 492 nm at the indicated time points. The mean values of six independent experiments and standard deviations are shown. Immobilized matrix proteins were as follows: Fn, fibronectin; Fo, fibrinogen; Co I, collagen type I; Co IV; collagen type IV; Lam, laminin; wPrt, without proteins (i.e., polystyrene surface).

•ATP synthase regulates
intercellular & cytoplasmic pH
•Important molecular target for
drugs in the treatment of infectious
disease
ATP synthase schematic
University of Leeds, Faculty of Biological Sciences
ATPase, Acid tolerance, lack of TCA cycle
16
Streptococci lack respiratory chains, relying on glycolysis or arginine fermentation for production of ATP (energy)
GAS lacks necessary enzymes for functional TCA cycle & oxidative-cytochromes for electron transport
Unable to generate a large proton potential Cell membrane physiology major role in acid base regulation Depend on permeability of cells to protons at various environmental
pH values Membrane ATPase important in cell permeability H+-ATPase (ATP synthase) hydrolyze ATP & form electrochemical
gradient of protons GAS extrude protons across plasma membrane establishing an
electrochemical potential providing driving force for various kinds of physiological work e.g. uptake of sugars, amino acids, other nutrients with aid of secondary porters (primary transport systems) & regulation of cytoplasmic pH & cytoplasmic concentration of potassium & other ions
Cytochromes are hemeproteins containing heme groups and are primarily responsible for the generation of ATP via electron transport.

serotypes M1, M12, M28, M49 biofilm-negative strains serotypes M1, M4, M12, M49 form microcolonies when
grown in liquid medium. serotypes M1, M4, M12, M49 aggregation into
microcolonies mediated by conserved 19-amino-acid residue peptide present in M protein & protein H
serotypes M2, M18 preferentially adhere to human matrix protein-coated surfaces
serotype M6, M14 preferentially adhere to uncoated plastic or glass surfaces
Isolate-specific patterns within a certain serotype could be due to diverse regulatory mechanisms leading to differential expression of primary adhesins.
The adhesins & corresponding regulators enabling strains to directly interact with uncoated plastic are uncharacterized

M protein
43
Primary virulence factor Resist phagocytosis in blood & Attach to host cells Starts from surface of the bacteria a-helical, coiled-coiled protein (advantage: antigenic
variation, multiple functional domains) number & sequence of the A & B repeats vary depending
upon M type. C-repeats conserved among different M types. Adhesion to host cells mediated by either variable domain or conserved domain depending upon
the receptors expressed by host cells Close resemblance of its molecular design to certain
mammalian proteins formation of epitopes responsible for serological cross-reactions between microbial & mammalian proteins
M protein
44
Expression of M protein enhanced at higher partial pressures of CO2 & GAS adheres to deeper tissues where more likely to encounter phagocytic cells
emm gene encodes M serotype specificity & M type-specific opsonic epitopes
Adhesion by the variable domain depend upon type of M protein expressed & on type of receptors expressed by the targeted tissue

6 different mechanisms of adhesion for S. pyogenes Pharyngeal epithelial cells and HEp-2 cells M protein-
mediated adhesion Tissue culture cells infected with influenza virus
fibrinogen-mediated adhesion Bacterial attachment to different types of substrata with
fatty acid-binding domains LTA mediated adhesion Depend upon type of target substratum used in assay
53
Capsule
Capsule
54
GAS depend on HA capsule to evade phagocytosis & to interact with epithelial cells
HA capsule only plays a secondary role in infections caused by GAS strains pathogenic for humans
Digest tissue HA & facilitate spread of GAS4% of GAS and 2.7% of GCS positive HA12.5% of GAS, 72.1% of GBS, 84% of GCS
and 85.3% of GGS positive HY
55
200 known M types divided into 4 major subfamilies based on sequence of peptidoglycan-spanning domain at the 3′ end of emm
Subfamilies A, B, C cause pharyngitisSubfamily D cause skin diseasesSubfamily E generalists, cause
symptomatic infection at either tissue, skin or throat
56
Division
Cell wall, division
57
Many virulence factors of G + anchored to PG by a sorting signal
Signal sequence of M protein, which contains an YSIRK-G/S motif (SP+YSIRK), is targeted to the division septum, while signal sequence of protein F lacking this motif (SP−YSIRK) is targeted to old pole
M protein is rapidly anchored at septum, simultaneously at the mother & daughter septa
By contrast SP−YSIRK SfbI protein accumulates gradually on peripheral PG resulting in a polar distribution impairment of septum assembly results in marked reduction in amount of M protein, but not of SfbI
58
Hydrophobicity, LTA
Hydrophobicity
59
Bacterial pathogens depend on hydrophobic interactions for successful colonization of a host
M+ GAS possess more negative surface charge & express extreme surface hydrophobic properties
Binding of fibrinogen & albumin decreased surface hydrophobicity of M+ GAS
GAS clinical isolates hydrophobic LTA release from cytoplasmic membrane, bind to surface proteins via
glycerol phosphate end, glycolipid end free to interact with various substrata utilizing the hydrophobic effect
Sub-MIC penicillin reduces hydrophobicity less adhesion GAS in Exponential phase much less hydrophobic than in stationary phase During exponential growth phase hyaluronate capsule cover LTA
hydrophobicity decrease GAS cells enter stationary phase, capsule no longer produced in high
quantities & HY degrade polymer hydrophobicity increase Major adhesin(s) of streptococci may be hydrophobins Stationary phase GAS superior to exponential GAS in adhesion to host cells
Hydrophobicity
60
Sub-MIC antibiotics decrease cell surface hydrophobicity increase negative electric charge hinder interaction between GAS & pharyngeal Epi cells suppression of infection
Bacitracin & pristinamycin increased hydrophobicity no effect on adhesion to pharyngeal Epi cells
Induces excretion of LTA from GAS loss of ability to adhere
Fimbriae
61
Type-specific M protein was removed from intact surface GAS showed increased susceptibility to phagocytosis, (b) lack of opsonic effect of homologous M antibody on the treated streptococci, and (c) loss of HCl- extractable M protein.
GAS lacking M protein adhered to human oral mucosal cells equally as well as untreated, fimbriated organisms which retained their M protein
Fatty acids ester linked with glycerol teichoic acid (fimbriae) rather than M protein of streptococci binds the organisms to epithelial cells

Structure-activity
relationship
Structure-activity; phenolic acids
64
Greater antibacterial activity against gram-positive than negative (strain dependent activity) OM of gram-negative bacteria with hydrophobic surface structure excludes hydrophilic
molecules, so are inherently resistant to AM including phenolic acids Gram-positive enclosed in plasma membrane covered by thick peptidoglycan wall (No OM) Poorly absorbed in small intestine, some stimulate growth of gut microbes Structure-activity relationship Different alkyl chain length with hydroxyl groups important for AM actions, longer chain
better activity Presence of hydroxyl groups on phenol groups & oxidized status of phenol groups important
Disrupt fluidity of the cell membrane with increasing hydrophobic alkyl chains Enter molecular structure of membrane with polar hydroxyl group oriented into aqueous
phase by hydrogen bonding & nonpolar carbon chain aligned into lipid phase by dispersion forces, when hydrophilic force exceeds hydrophobic one, activity disappear
Number & position of substitutions in benzene ring & saturated side-chain length important Potency against Lactobacillus spp.

Structure-activity; Flavonoids
65
Flavonoids; largest groups of secondary metabolites, constructed basically with an A & C ring of benzo-1-pyran-4-quinone & a B ring, commonly conjugated with sugars as glycosides
Main classes; (1) flavones (basic structures), e.g. luteolin, apigenin, diosmetin,
chrysoeriol, tangeretin, sinensetin, gardenin, vitexin and baicalein; (2) flavonols (having a hydroxyl group at the 3-position), e.g. kaempferol,
quercetin, galangin, datiscetin, morin, robinetin, isorhamnetin, tamarixetin, quercetagetin and myricetin;
(3) flavanones (2–3 bond saturated), e.g. hesperetin, taxifolin, eriodictyol and naringenin;
(4) flavan-3-ol, e.g. catechin and epicatechin; (5) isoflavone, e.g. genistein, daidzein and coumestrol; (6) anthocyanidins: cyanidin, delphinidin, pelargonidin and peonidin Gram-positive absorb more EGCG into peptidoglycan cell wall &
aggregate its presence, while Gram-negative do not aggregate & absorb less EGCG because of repulsive negative charge of lipopolysaccharides on surfaces of Gram-negative, binding of EGCG to peptidoglycan disrupts its function in osmotic protection, cell division, & cell wall biosynthesis
Structure-activity; Polyphenols
66
Phenolic acids (ellagic & gallic acids) or flavonoids (flavan-3-ol, flavan-3-4-diol or flavan-4-ol) are esterified or polymerized into dimeric, oligomeric or polymeric compounds
Most abundant are tannins; hydrolysable tannins (HT) & condensed tannins (CT)
HT; complex molecules with a polyol as a central core such as glucose, glucitol, quinic acids, quercitol and shikimic acid, partially or totally esterified with a phenolic group, i.e. gallic acid (3,4,5-trihydroxy benzoic acid; gallotannins) or gallic acid dimmer hexahydroxydiphenic acid (ellagitannins)
CT (proanthocyanidins); polymers of flavan-3-ols (epi)catechin & (epi)gallocatechin units, linked by C4-C8 and C4-C6 interflavonoid linkages
prodelphinidin B-2 3′-O-gallate (a proanthocyanidin gallate); anti-HSV-2; inhibit attachment & penetration between cells & viruses through instability of viral glycoproteins
Gallotannins; strong affinity for iron & inactivation of membrane-bound proteins, morphological changes due to inhibition of cell division by binding of gallotannins to cell wall or inhibition of enzymes involved in cell separation
Phytochemicals Antibacterial MOA
67
Phenols & phenolic acids; disruption of energy production due to enzyme inhibition by oxidized products, through reaction with sulfhydryl groups or through more nonspecific interactions with proteins
flavonoids (robinetin, myricetin and epigallocatechin gallate); inhibit the synthesis of nucleic acids of both Gram-negative & positive, B ring may play a role in intercalation or hydrogen bonding with stacking of nucleic acid bases which cause inhibitory action on DNA and RNA synthesis
Quercetin; binds to GyrB subunit of E. coli DNA gyrase and inhibits enzyme’s ATPase activity, cause an increase in permeability of inner bacterial membrane & a corruption of membrane potential
Epicatechin gallate & epigallocatechin gallate; inhibit antibiotic efflux pumps in MRSA, inhibit β-ketoacyl-ACP reductase (FabG) & trans-2-enoyl-ACP reductase (FabI) components in bacterial type II fatty-acid synthase system
Phytochemicals Antibacterial MOA
68
Molecules that mimic AHL signals and affect quorum-sensing
Inhibit AHL-dependent gene expression, interfere with several AHL-regulated bacterial processes without any effect on bacterial growth or general protein synthesis capability
Inhibit interspecies coaggregationPrevent adhesion, inactivate mature single &
multi-species biofilms, decrease polysaccharide production
synergists/potentiators of antibiotics
69
phytochemicals that have different antibacterial modes of action can potentiate activity of same antibiotic class. For instance, berberine (interact with the cytoplasmic membrane and with DNA) & epicatechin, epigallocatechin gallates (inhibit efflux activity and bacterial type II fatty acid synthesis) have distinct antibacterial mode of action, however, they potentiate antibacterial action of β-lactam antibiotics
piperine, reserpine, & triterpenoid saponins sensitize bacteria & potentiate action quinolones & polymyxins (chemotherapeutic strategy; sensitize bacteria with phytochemicals & modulate their susceptibility to antibiotics at reduced concentrations)
phytochemicals with membrane permeability effects, potentiate antibacterial activity of antibiotics that target intracellular sites (aminoglycosides, macrolides, quinolones, tetracyclines)
