PROTEIN INFO: E. coli derived H. pylori including Cag2d Domain
NCBI ID: AAB58747.1
DESCRIPTION
Cytotoxin associated gene A (CagA) gene is one of 31 putative genes in cag Pathogenicity Island (PAI) that is a 40-kb segment being incorporated into H. pylori genome by horizontal transfer, and cagA gene only exists in one subgroup of H. pylori [1]. CagA can translocate from H. pylori into H. pylori-attached gastric epithelial cells via the bacterial type IV secretion system, and manipulate many host cellular functions, including cytoskeletal function, cell-to-cell adhesion, and intracellular signal transduction [2] [3]. These myriad activities and interactions promote host cells ulceration and malignancy. CagA is also a highly antigenic protein that is associated with a prominent inflammatory response by eliciting interleukin-8 production [4].
The purified protein is part of full length CagA protein (about 1248 aa), as shown in Figure 1, the 2d domain is at the C-terminal of CagA protein, harboring two exotoxin regions and five EPIYA motifs.
