<font color=yellow> Le premier paragraphe est faux... ClyA n'a rien avoir avec le fait de faire de la communication. C'est juste un moyen d'adresser quelque chose dans la membrane externe. On a choisi clyA car des études ont montrées que cette protéine se trouve dans les OMVs et qu'elle y est sans doute spécifiquement adressée pour jouer son role de facteur de virulence... Par ailleurs il faut corriger l'anglais de cette partie!

We work on the cell-cell communication using vesicle, but in a first time we need to adress a signal on outer membrane. So we have to find something which can go from the cytoplasm to vesicles, then can be exported a signal transduction through the vesicle when its fuse with the target cells. ClyA seems to have an interesting ways to success in these functions, in fact ClyA in E.Coli in high expression in OMV, and it’s one of the proteins that can pass the cytoplasm to the persiplasm and integrated to vesicle.

However there are some inconvenient because ClyA is an alpha-PFT for Pore Forming Toxins. PFTs are potent virulence factors class starting in a soluble form to an outer membrane-integrated pore. They exhibit their toxic effect either by membrane permeability barrier destruction or by toxic components delivery through the pores which forming by several assembly 8 or 13 ClyA subunits. PFTs can be subdivided into two classes; α-PFTs and β-PFTs, depending on the suspected mode of membrane integration, either by α-helical or β-sheet elements.

Bacterial pathogens display proteins on their surface that may interact with their hosts in order to mount successful infections. Although the primary function of the peptidoglycan is to provide a physical barrier for protection against both mechanical and osmotic stresses, it also serves as a scaffold to anchor external structures such as the outer cell membrane in ''Escherichia Coli''. Over the past 20 years, it has become apparent that Gram-negative bacteria have evolved a variety of mechanism by which proteins are displayed on the cell surface (Tat and Sec transporter for example, cf the section "to the periplasm, export system" for more information about them).
 +
Using these transport system, lot of protein are localized on the outer membrane, and one of the major protein of the bacterial membrane is OmpA. There is also an other protein, ClyA, but less known than OmpA which can be exported from cytoplasm to outer membrane, then by vesiculation interact with their host.
-
In some article, it’s fused to GFP in order to observed the vesicle, so we think the fusion of ClyA with a peptide signal can induct the receptor when the vesicle fusion to its cell target liberate the Cly A in the target cell. And it's this information which we will exploit for our project. In fact we will fuse ClyA to RFP in our case in order to observe if our ClyA are in our vesicle.[article 1]  <font color="yellow"> C'est la phrase la plus importante... C'est bien de dire ce qu'il y a au dessus, mais ca doit venir après et être juste mentionné comme quelque chose à quoi il faut potentiellement faire attention pour des applications de notre projet</font>

===ClyA===
-
- ClyA can be used to co-localize fully functional heterologous proteins directly in bacterial OMVs
 
-
-We can fuse GFP to the C or N term of Cly A, to track OMVs easily.
 
-
-ClyA is capable of co-localizing a variety of structurally diverse fusion partners to the surface of E. coli and their released vesicles, but only when the periplasmic disulfide bond-forming machinery was present ,it’s makes OMVs an ideal structure to transport hydrophobic compounds like membrane proteins into the host.

-ClyA was significantly enriched in OMVs relative to other lumenal and membrane bound OMV proteins.
 
-
'''DRAWBACK'''
+
Why did we decided to use ClyA?
-
-Cly A is cytolitic and a PFT-a so it’s virulent; it can form pore in cell target. But we find that ClyA is virulent for mammalian cell or erythrocytes, because of its strong interaction with choloesterol which constitute mammalian cell membrane. For the virulence in bacteria cell we think that it’s not possible because there is no cholesterol in the bacteria membrane. <font color=yellow>ce paragraphe est incompréhensible</font>
+
Althought the toxic effect of Cly A, using it is an interesting way to adress protein to the external membrane, because ClyA contain the signal peptide required to be exported form the cytoplasm to the outer membrane. In addition, it has been shown that certain membrane and/or soluble periplasmic proteins are enriched in vesicles while others are preferentially excluded. The majority of these enriched proteins happen to be virulence factors including cytolysin A of ''E. coli'' <sup>[[Team:Paris/Addressing_overview2#References|[2]]]</sup>..

Addressing the message in the outer membrane : Main

Bacterial pathogens display proteins on their surface that may interact with their hosts in order to mount successful infections. Although the primary function of the peptidoglycan is to provide a physical barrier for protection against both mechanical and osmotic stresses, it also serves as a scaffold to anchor external structures such as the outer cell membrane in Escherichia Coli. Over the past 20 years, it has become apparent that Gram-negative bacteria have evolved a variety of mechanism by which proteins are displayed on the cell surface (Tat and Sec transporter for example, cf the section "to the periplasm, export system" for more information about them). Using these transport system, lot of protein are localized on the outer membrane, and one of the major protein of the bacterial membrane is OmpA. There is also an other protein, ClyA, but less known than OmpA which can be exported from cytoplasm to outer membrane, then by vesiculation interact with their host.


ClyA

Pore-forming toxins (PFTs) are a class of potent virulence factors that convert from a soluble form to a membrane-integrated pore. They exhibit their toxic effect either by destruction of the membrane permeability barrier or by delivery of toxic components through the pores.

Cytolysin A (ClyA, also known as HlyE), a PFT, is a cytolytic α-helical toxin responsible for the haemolytic phenotype of several E. coli. [1].


Why did we decided to use ClyA?

Althought the toxic effect of Cly A, using it is an interesting way to adress protein to the external membrane, because ClyA contain the signal peptide required to be exported form the cytoplasm to the outer membrane. In addition, it has been shown that certain membrane and/or soluble periplasmic proteins are enriched in vesicles while others are preferentially excluded. The majority of these enriched proteins happen to be virulence factors including cytolysin A of E. coli [2]..


Previous studies demonstrated that genetic fusions between ClyA of E. coli and reporter proteins such as Bla and GFP were translocated across the cytoplasmic membrane [3].,[4]. and that localization was independent of the position (N or C terminus) of ClyA in the fusion protein. Moreover a recent article [5]. demonstrated that fusions to the C terminus of ClyA allow the transport of protein closer to the surface of outer membrane and to extend them into the extracellular environment.

OmpA

OmpA is a major protein of the outer membrane of E.Coli. Moreover Kesty and co-workers demonstrated that OmpA is an outer-membrane component of native vesicles [6].. In this direction, our strategy is to fuse our protein of interest to OmpA to allow its transport to the outer membrane and to increase the probability of its integration into vesicles. We finally decided to focus our efforts on the ClyA strategy because of the previous work that was done on this protein especially the "proof" that it's possible to merge our protein of interest with ClyA without inhibiting both activities.
