Abstract
Vibrio vulnificus causes acute cell death and a fatal septicaemia. In this study, we show that contact with host cells is a prerequisite to the acute cytotoxicity. We screened transposon mutants defective in the contact-dependent cytotoxicity. Two mutants had insertions within two open reading frames in a putative RTX toxin operon, the rtxA1 or rtxD encoding an RTX toxin (4701 amino acids) or an ABC type transporter (467 amino acids). An rtxA1 mutation resulted in a cytotoxicity defect, which was fully restored by in trans complementation. The expression of RtxA1 toxin increased after host cell contact in a time-dependent manner. The RtxA1 toxin induced cytoskeletal rearrangements and plasma membrane blebs, which culminated in a necrotic cell death. RtxA1 colocalized with actin and caused actin aggregation coinciding with a significant decrease in the F/G actin ratio. The RtxA1 toxin caused haemolysis through pore formation (radius 1.63 nm). The rtxA1 deletion mutant was defective in invading the blood stream from ligated ileal loops of CD1 mice. The rtxA1 null mutation resulted in over 100-fold increase in both intragastric and intraperitoneal LD(50)s against mice. Overall, these results show that the RtxA1 toxin is a multifunctional cytotoxin and plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of V. vulnificus infections.

Abstract
Adenylate cyclase (AC) toxin is present on the surface of Bordetella pertussis organisms and their addition to eukaryotic cells results in increases in intracellular cAMP. To test the hypothesis that surface-bound toxin is the source for intoxication of cells when incubated with B. pertussis, we characterized the requirements of intoxication from intact bacteria and found that this process is calcium-dependent and blocked by monoclonal antibody to AC toxin or antibody against CD11b, a surface glycoprotein receptor for the toxin. Increases in intracellular cAMP correlate with the number of adherent bacteria, not the total number present in the medium, suggesting that interaction of bacteria with target cells is important for efficient delivery of AC toxin. A filamentous haemagglutinin-deficient mutant (BP353) and a clinical isolate (GMT1), both of which have a marked reduction in AC toxin on their surface, and wild-type B. pertussis (BP338) from which surface AC toxin has been removed by trypsin, were fully competent for intoxicating target cells, demonstrating that surface-bound AC toxin is not responsible for intoxication. B. pertussis killed by gentamicin or gamma irradiation were unable to intoxicate, illustrating that toxin delivery requires viable bacteria. Furthermore, CCCP, a protonophore that disrupts the proton gradient necessary for the secretion of related RTX toxins, blocked intoxication by whole bacteria. These data establish that delivery of this toxin by intact B. pertussis is not dependent on the surface-associated AC toxin, but requires close association of live bacteria with target cells and the active secretion of AC toxin.

Abstract
The catalytic domain of Bordetella pertussis adenylate cyclase, a calmodulin-activated enzyme with toxic properties, is a modular construct cleaved by trypsin into two subdomains of 224 (T25) and 175 (T18) amino acids. The calmodulin-binding locus of the bacterial enzyme consists of approximately 70 amino acids and overlaps the C-terminus of T25 and the N-terminus of T18. This region, exposed to the solvent or proteases, also exhibits an unusual high flexibility and allows, as demonstrated in this study, reconstitution in the presence of calmodulin of active species of adenylate cyclase from overlapping inactive fragments of the enzyme. Moreover, several combinations of inactive variants of the bacterial enzyme obtained by site-directed mutagenesis can yield active species. Heterodimers, resulting from a few selected combinations of inactive species of adenylate cyclase, exhibit specific activity similar to that of the native enzyme. Productive complementation from inactive fragments is a unique phenomenon among calmodulin-activated enzymes and represents a new and helpful tool in the understanding of the molecular mechanism of activation of B. pertussis adenylate cyclase upon binding of calmodulin.

Abstract
A truncated Bordetella pertussis cya gene product was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified by affinity chromatography on calmodulin-agarose. Trypsin cleavage of the 432-residue recombinant protein (Mr = 46,659) generated two fragments of 28 kDa and 19 kDa. These fragments, each containing a single Trp residue, were purified and analyzed for their catalytic and calmodulin-binding properties. The 28-kDa peptide, corresponding to the N-terminal domain of the recombinant adenylate cyclase, exhibited very low catalytic activity, and was still able to bind calmodulin weakly, as evidenced by using a fluorescent derivative of the activator protein. The 19-kDa peptide, corresponding to the C-terminal domain of the recombinant adenylate cyclase, interacted only with calmodulin as indicated by a shift in its intrinsic fluorescence emission spectrum or by the enhancement of fluorescence of dansyl-calmodulin. T28 and T19 fragments exhibited an increased sensitivity to denaturation by urea as compared to uncleaved adenylate cyclase, suggesting that interactive contacts between ordered portions of T28 and T19 in the intact protein participate both in their own stabilization and in stabilization of the whole tertiary structure. The two fragments reassociated into a highly active calmodulin-dependent species. Reassociation was enhanced by calmodulin itself, which 'trapped' the two complementary peptides into a stable, native-like, ternary complex, which shows similar catalytic properties to intact adenylate cyclase.

Abstract
An invasive form of the CaM-sensitive adenylyl cyclase from Bordetella pertussis can be isolated from bacterial culture supernatants. This isolation is achieved through the use of QAE-Sephadex anion-exchange chromatography. It has been demonstrated that the addition of exogenous Ca2+ to the anion-exchange gradient buffers will affect elution from the column and will thereby affect the isolation of invasive adenylyl cyclase. This is probably due to a Ca2(+)-dependent interaction of the catalytic subunit with another component in the culture supernatant. Two peaks of adenylyl cyclase activity are obtained. The Pk1 adenylyl cyclase preparation is able to cause significant increases in intracellular cAMP levels in animal cells. This increase occurs rapidly and in a dose-dependent manner in both N1E-115 mouse neuroblastoma cells and human erythrocytes. The Pk2 adenylyl cyclase has catalytic activity but is not cell invasive. This material can serve, therefore, as a control to ensure that the cAMP which is measured is, indeed, intracellular. A second control is to add exogenous CaM to the Pk1 adenylyl cyclase preparation. The 45-kDa catalytic subunit-CaM complex is not cell invasive. Although the mechanism for membrane translocation of the adenylyl cyclase is unknown, there is evidence that the adenylyl cyclase enters animal cells by a mechanism distinct from receptor-mediated endocytosis. Calmodulin-sensitive adenylyl cyclase activity can be removed from preparations of the adenylyl cyclase that have been subjected to SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This property of the enzyme has enabled purification of the catalytic subunit to apparent homogeneity. The purified catalytic subunit from culture supernatants has a predicted molecular weight of 45,000. This polypeptide interacts directly with Ca2+ and this interaction may be important for its invasion into animal cells. Finally, the technique for purifying the catalytic subunit by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis may prove useful in studying the interaction of the adenylyl cyclase with other components produced by the bacteria, as well as the interaction of the enzyme with eukaryotic target cells.

Abstract
Bordetella pertussis produces a number of virulence determinants which contribute to its pathogenicity. One factor, the adenylate cyclase toxin (ACT), has been suggested to directly penetrate human phagocytes and disrupt their normal function by direct production of intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP). Experiments evaluating the production of cell-associated ACT in liquid cultures of B. pertussis 504 demonstrated that the greatest activity was observed during mid-log-phase growth. Urea extracts of cells harvested during the time of maximal ACT production have been used to purify the toxin with both biological and enzymatic activities. ACT is a protein with an apparent molecular mass of 220 kDa and an isoelectric point of 7.0. The specific activity of purified ACT is 17,000 mumol of cAMP formed per mg per min. The the biological specific activity of purified ACT is 6,250 nmol of intracellular cAMP formed per mg per min in 2 x 10(6) S49 lymphoma cells per ml. Preparations containing 8 micrograms of ACT completely abrogated the chemiluminescence response of 2 x 10(6) human neutrophils per ml.

Abstract
The Bordetella pertussis cyaA gene encodes a virulence factor which is a bifunctional protein exhibiting calmodulin-sensitive adenylate cyclase and hemolytic activities (P. Glaser, H. Sakamoto, J. Bellahov, A. Ullmann, and A. Danchin, EMBO J. 7:3997-4004, 1988). We characterized the hemolytic and toxin activities of the 200-kilodalton (kDa) bifunctional (CyaA) protein and showed that, whether cell associated or secreted, the 200-kDa CyaA protein carries hemolytic and toxin functions. The catalytically active 45-kDa form of adenylate cyclase released by proteolytic digestion of the 200-kDa CyaA protein displayed neither hemolytic nor toxin activities. We constructed in-phase deletions in the 3' region of the cyaA gene, which presumably carries the hemolytic determinant, and showed that the resulting proteins exhibited wild-type adenylate cyclase activity and were secreted without processing into culture supernatants. The hemolytic activities of these mutant CyaA proteins were severely reduced, and their toxin activities were abolished. These results suggest that the structural integrity of the 200-kDa CyaA protein is necessary for toxin activity and that distinct structural determinants within the CyaA protein are involved in secretion, pore formation, and entry into target cells.

Abstract
(Rp)-Adenosine 3',5'-monophosphorothioate ((Rp)-cAMPS) is a highly specific antagonist of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase from eukaryotic cells and is a very poor substrate for phosphodiesterases. It is therefore a useful tool for investigating the role of cAMP as a second messenger in a variety of biological systems. Taking advantage of stereospecific inversion of configuration around the alpha-phosphate during the adenylate cyclase reaction, we have developed a method for the preparative enzymatic synthesis of the Rp diastereomer of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphorothioate ((Rp)-cAMPS) from the Sp diastereomer of adenosine 5'-O-(1-thiotriphosphate) ((Sp)-ATP alpha S). The adenylate cyclase from Bordetella pertussis, partially purified by calmodulin affinity chromatography, cyclizes (Sp)-ATP alpha S approximately 40-fold more slowly than ATP, but binds (Sp)-ATP alpha S with about 10-fold higher affinity than ATP. The triethylammonium salt of the reaction product can be purified by elution from a gravity flow reversed-phase C18 column with a linear gradient of increasing concentrations of methanol. Yields of the pure (Rp)-cAMPS product of a synthesis with 2 mg of substrate are about 75%.

Abstract
A rapid and sensitive method has been devised for the detection of Bordetella pertussis in clinical samples. The feasibility of the technique, which is based upon enzymatic assay of adenylate cyclase associated with the intact B. pertussis organisms, has been demonstrated in laboratory simulations. In the present study, we evaluated this novel diagnostic method using clinical specimens obtained from 120 children with suspected pertussis. Levels of adenylate cyclase activity in these specimens were highly correlated with culture results; intermediate and high levels in 28 samples predicted positive cultures in 23 (82%). Further, the adenylate cyclase assay results were obtained 2-7 days earlier than the results of cultures. Among 92 specimens with low levels of adenylate cyclase activity, only 11 were positive in culture. We conclude that adenylate cyclase assays may be suitable for rapid diagnosis of pertussis in children and might facilitate early and effective intervention.

Abstract
Dictyostelium discoideum amebae chemotax toward folate during vegetative growth and toward extracellular cAMP during the aggregation phase that follows starvation. Stimulation of starving amebae with extracellular cAMP leads to both actin polymerization and pseudopod extension (Hall et al., 1988, J. Cell. Biochem. 37, 285-299). We have identified an actin nucleation activity (NA) from starving amebae that is regulated by cAMP receptors and controls actin polymerization (Hall et al., 1989, J. Cell Biol., in press). We show here that NA from vegetative cells is also regulated by chemotactic receptors for folate. Our studies indicate that NA is an essential effector in control of the actin cytoskeleton by chemotactic receptors. Guided by a recently proposed model for signal transduction from the cAMP receptor (Snaar-Jagalska et al., 1988, Dev. Genet. 9, 215-225), we investigated which of three signaling pathways activates the NA effector. Treatment of whole cells with a commercial pertussis toxin preparation (PT) inhibited cAMP-stimulated NA. However, endotoxin contamination of the PT appears to account for this effect. The synag7 mutation and caffeine treatment do not inhibit activation of NA by cAMP. Thus, neither activation of adenylate cyclase nor a G protein sensitive to PT treatment of whole cells is necessary for the NA response. Actin nucleation activity stimulated with folate is normal in vegetative fgdA cells. However, cAMP suppresses rather than activates NA in starving fgdA cells. This indicates that the components of the actin nucleation effector are present and that a pathway regulating the inhibitor(s) of nucleation remains functional in starving fgdA cells. The locus of the fgdA defect, a G protein implicated in phospholipase C activation, is directly or indirectly responsible for transduction of the stimulatory chemotactic signal from cAMP receptors to the nucleation effector in Dictyostelium.

Abstract
Bordetella pertussis organisms secrete adenylate cyclase, at least one form of which can invade host cells and appears to be a virulence factor. Treatment of urea extracts containing invasive cyclase of B. pertussis with trypsin, chymotrypsin, or subtilisin abolishes the ability to increase intracellular cyclic AMP levels in CHO cells (invasiveness) at concentrations that have minimal or no effects on adenylate cyclase activity. Higher protease concentrations can inhibit catalytic activity, and 1 microM calmodulin protects this catalytic activity, but not invasiveness, against proteolytic inhibition. Rabbit immunoglobulin G (IgG) fractions from antisera prepared against urea extracts inhibited invasiveness at 10-fold-lower concentrations than inhibited catalytic activity. One IgG from a rabbit immunized against a partially purified, noninvasive form of the B. pertussis adenylate cyclase inhibited catalytic activity but was ineffective against invasiveness. We conclude that these two properties of the adenylate cyclase are independent functions that reside on different domains of the same protein or on different proteins.

Abstract
Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent of whooping cough, produces an acute and chronic respiratory infection in infants and young children. B. pertussis is still a major health problem of young children throughout the world even though effective immunization against whooping cough is available. While predominantly a childhood disease, it has been reported also to be a cause of persistent cough in adults. This review discusses the numerous bacterial virulence factors that may play roles in the pathogenesis of pertussis and in immunity to infection. The present problems with pertussis diagnosis, recent advances, and future prospects for new and improved rapid diagnostics tests also are explored.

Abstract
The effect of exogenously added adenylate cyclase from Bordetella pertussis (strain 114) has been investigated in Y-1 mouse adrenal tumor, chinese hamster ovary (CHO) and several other cells. A partially purified adenylate cyclase was found not to enter cells but, nevertheless, produced large amounts of cAMP in the medium. We could show that this resulted from release of ATP (and not larger molecules). The ATP released by the cells could be (1) directly measured and was replenished after each change of medium; (2) was reciprocally related to the cAMP produced; and (3) was competed for by ATPases present in added serum or by hexokinase and, less effectively, by exoenzymes on the cell surface. The extent of ATP leakage varied widely between different cell lines, being marked in CHO and Y-1 adrenal cells but negligible in transformed lymphocyte lines. The uncertainty of the origin of cAMP found in media of cultured cells requires separate analysis of cell and medium cAMP and an assessment of ATP leakage.

Abstract
Purified preparations of adenylate cyclase were obtained from crude urea extracts of Bordetella pertussis by a one-step calmodulin affinity chromatography technique. Diluted extract was loaded onto the column and washed, and adenylate cyclase was eluted with 10mM EGTA [ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid]. A 104-fold purification was accomplished in one step. By sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the affinity-purified adenylate cyclase was dissociated into one major protein band with an apparent molecular weight of 60,000 and a minor band at 200,000. The affinity-purified adenylate cyclase was observed to have adenylate cyclase enzymatic activity which was activated by calmodulin, to bind 125I-calmodulin, and to be free of pertussis toxin as determined by in vivo and in vitro assays.

Abstract
Affinity-purified adenylate cyclase (AC) of Bordetella pertussis, free of contaminating pertussis toxin, was demonstrated to have biological effects on human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). AC at doses of 25 and 50 micrograms/ml increased intracellular cAMP levels in the phagocytes 7.6- to 23.5-fold, respectively, above basal levels. AC inhibited PMN chemiluminescence, chemotaxis, and superoxide production in a dose-dependent manner. The 50% inhibitory dose for chemotaxis and chemiluminescence was 36.5 micrograms/ml; for superoxide generation it was 71.0 micrograms/ml. Although these PMN metabolic functions were impaired, no effect on phagocytic activity was observed.
