    Microbiota consisting of various fungi and bacteria have a significant impact on the physiological functions of the host. However, it is unclear which species are essential to this impact and how they affect the host. This study analyzed and isolated microbes from natural food sources of Drosophila larvae, and investigated their functions. Hanseniaspora uvarum is the predominant yeast responsible for larval growth in the earlier stage of fermentation. As fermentation progresses, Acetobacter orientalis emerges as the key bacterium responsible for larval growth, although yeasts and lactic acid bacteria must coexist along with the bacterium to stabilize this host–bacterial association. By providing nutrients to the larvae in an accessible form, the microbiota contributes to the upregulation of various genes that function in larval cell growth and metabolism. Thus, this study elucidates the key microbial species that support animal growth under microbial transition.

    Characterization of the functional activity of botulinum neurotoxin subtype B6
    Clostridium botulinum produces the highly potent neurotoxin, botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT), which is classified into seven serotypes (A–G); the subtype classification is confirmed by the diversity of amino acid sequences among the serotypes. BoNT from the Osaka05 strain is associated with type B infant botulism and has been classified as BoNT/B subtype B6 (BoNT/B6) by phylogenetic analysis and the antigenicity of its C-terminal heavy chain (HC) domain. However, the molecular bases for its properties, including its potency, are poorly understood. In this study, BoNT/B6 holotoxin was purified and the biological activity and receptor binding activity of BoNT/B6 compared with those of the previously-characterized BoNT/B1 and BoNT/B2 subtypes. The derivative BoNT/B6 was found to be already nicked and in an activated form, indicating that endogenous protease production may be higher in this strain than in the other two strains. BoNT/B1 exhibited the greatest lethal activity in mice, followed by BoNT/B6, which is consistent with the sensitivity of PC12 cells. No significant differences were seen in the enzymatic activities of the BoNT/Bs against their substrate. HC/B1 and HC/B6 exhibited similar binding affinities to synaptotagmin II (SytII), which is a specific protein receptor for BoNT/B. Binding to the SytII/ganglioside complex is functionally related to the toxic action; however, the receptor recognition sites are conserved. These results suggest that the distinct characteristics and differences in biological sensitivity of BoNT/B6 may be attributable to the function of its Hc.domain.

    Unique biological activity of botulinum D/C mosaic neurotoxin in murine species
    Clostridium botulinum types C and D cause animal botulism by the production of serotype-specific or mosaic botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT). The D/C mosaic BoNT (BoNT/DC), which is produced by the isolate from bovine botulism in Japan, exhibits the highest toxicity to mice among all BoNTs. In contrast, rats appeared to be very resistant to BoNT/DC in type C and D BoNTs and their mosaic BoNTs. We attempted to characterize the enzymatic and receptor-binding activities of BoNT/DC by comparison with those of type C and D BoNTs (BoNT/C and BoNT/D). BoNT/DC and D showed similar toxic effects on cerebellar granule cells (CGCs) derived from the mouse, but the former showed less toxicity to rat CGCs. In recombinant murine-derived vesicleassociated membrane protein (VAMP), the enzymatic activities of both BoNTs to rat isoform 1 VAMP (VAMP1) were lower than those to the other VAMP homologues. We then examined the physiological significance of gangliosides as the binding components for types C and D, and mosaic BoNTs. BoNT/DC and C were found to cleave an intracellular substrate of PC12 cells upon the exogenous addition of GM1a and GT1b gangliosides, respectively, suggesting that each BoNT recognizes a different ganglioside moiety. The effect of BoNT/DC on glutamate release from CGCs was prevented by cholera toxin B-subunit (CTB) but not by a site-directed mutant of CTB that did not bind to GM1a. Bovine adrenal chromaffin cells appeared to be more sensitive to BoNT/DC than to BoNT/C and D. These results suggest that a unique mechanism of receptor binding of BoNT/DC may differentially regulate its biological activities in animals. © 2012, American Society for Microbiology.

    【目的】腸管出血性大腸菌 (enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli, EHEC)は志賀毒素 (Shiga toxin, Stx1およびStx2)など、様々な病原因子を産生する。EHECの代表的なO血清群であるO157、O26、O111、O103、O121、O145、O45のうち、当研究室では前5者の全ゲノムを解読し、病原性進化機構の解明などを進めている。本研究ではO145の全ゲノム配列決定とO145菌株内でのゲノム多様性の実体解明を目的とした比較ゲノム解析を行った。
    【方法】血便患者由来O145株(10942株)の全ゲノム配列を決定し、アノテーションや病原関連遺伝子の同定等を行った。また、ベルギー株を含む49株のドラフトゲノム配列を取得し、全ゲノム系統解析を実施するとともにStx2ファージ挿入部位を決定した。さらに、各菌株のStx2産生量をELISA法で定量した。
    【結果】10942株の染色体は5,374 kbで、93 kbの病原プラスミドを保持していた。EHECの他の血清型と同様に、染色体上に多数のプロファージを有し、3型分泌系エフェクターなどの病原因子レパートリーも他のEHECと類似していた。ベルギー株も含めた全ゲノム系統解析から、O145には複数の亜系統が存在しており、いずれの亜系統にも国内株が含まれることが明らかとなった。また、Stx2ファージの挿入部位は亜系統によって異なり、Stx2産生量において各菌株間に明らかな違いが見られた。
    【考察】O157などと同様に、O145も水平伝播により多数の病原遺伝子を獲得し、EHECへ進化したと推察された。また、O145における菌株間のゲノム多様性は比較的高く、日本国内にも複数の亜系統が分布していると考えられた。O145株に挿入されたStx2ファージのゲノム多型と各菌株のStx2産生量の違いの関連性については、詳細に解析する必要があるため、現在、全株においてStx2ファージ領域の配列決定を行っている。

    食中毒は国民に対して甚大で直接的な影響を及ぼす。そのため食中毒の発生予防や発生した際には迅速 な原因究明を実施し、その健康被害の拡大抑止が必要不可欠である。特に腸管出血性大腸菌(EHEC)によ る食中毒は、その届出数や重症度も相まって日本の食中毒対策として最も警戒が必要となっている。こ れまで EHEC 感染症の事例調査のため各種の分子型別法が開発・利用されてきた。MLVA 法が迅速性、精微 性に優れていることから、国内では主に MLVA 法を用いた解析が行われている。本研究計画では地衛研における MLVA 法運用のさらなる効率化迅速化を目指した技術導入および精度向上、MLVA 型別データと発 生動向を利用した EHEC 食中毒アラート発出システムの構築、その評価を実施する。また世界的には食中毒を含む感染症の分子疫学解析が全ゲノム情報を用いたものとなっており、食品や動物由来株を含めたゲノムデータベースの拡充化を進めることで MLVA 法との優劣性を明らかにし、 将来的な運用に資する基盤を構築する。またゲノムデータを利用した原因究明に利用可能な ゲノム解析パイプラインを構築し、その試用を通じて評価および改良を進める。 さらに EHEC 感染症の起因菌と食材等感染源の関連性解析および本研究で構築された食中毒アラートシス テム及び検査解析スキーム評価のため、他の地域からの食品流通などの影響を受けにくい離島でのコホ ートを確立し、それらの解析・評価を進める。

    大腸菌の血清型別に利用されるO抗原とH抗原は、合成遺伝子領域の組換えによって変化すること(血清型変換)が知られている。しかし、特定の大腸菌進化系統における血清型の変換は報告されているものの、大腸菌全体を俯瞰した血清型変換の実態は解析されていない。申請者は腸管出血性大腸菌O26:H11が属するClonal complex 29(CC29)のゲノム解析を行う過程で、CC29系統内で4度のO抗原の血清型変換が起こったこと、O抗原に加えてH抗原の変換も起こった菌群が存在することを見出した。この知見はCCレベルで血清型変換を解析することの有効性を示唆する。そこで、本研究では、10万を超える大腸菌のゲノム情報を活用して、大腸菌の各CCで生じた血清型変換の頻度とタイミング、変換を引き起こした組換え領域の多様性、変換が多発するCCのゲノム特性を解析することにより、大腸菌における血清型変換の全貌解明を目指す。
