    Notes: Porin (PorB), the major outer membrane protein of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, has been implicated in pathogenesis previously. However, the fact that porin deletion mutants are not viable has complicated investigations. Here, we describe a method of manipulating the porin gene site-specifically. N. gonorrhoeae MS11, which harbours the porB1B (P.1B) porin allele, was used to generate mutants carrying deletions in the surface loops 1 and 5. An 11-amino-acid deletion in loop 1 impaired Opa50-dependent invasion into human Chang epithelial cells, whereas loop 5 deletion exhibited no apparent phenotype. In a second approach, the complete gonococcal porB1B was replaced by the porBNla gene of Neisseria lactamica. Such mutants were unable to induce efficient uptake by epithelial cells but induced an enhanced respiratory response in HL60 phagocytic cells. The increased respiratory burst was accompanied by an enhanced phagocytic uptake of the mutant compared with the wild-type strain. Our data extend previous evidence for multiple central functions of PorB in the infection process.

    Notes: Abstract The kinetics of isomerization of the helical forms of three oligoprolines was determined by far-ultraviolet CD spectropolarimetry and kinetic analysis by singular value decomposition. ZRA (Pro3-X-Pro2-Y-Pro2-Z-Pro3) and ZRA2 (Pro7-X-Pro2-Y-Pro2-Z-Pro7) bear large redox-active substituents on proline residues X, Y, and Z, but P9 (Pro9) does not. All three peptides formed a stable proline-II helix in water. In acetonitrile, both ZRA2 and P9 were converted into a proline-I helical form but ZRA remained predominantly in the proline-II helical form. Evidently, in order to undergo substantial proline II→I isomerization, an oligoproline chain containing large substituents needs to have a segment of consecutive unsubstituted proline residues that is sufficiently long to form a stable proline helix. Biexponential kinetics (A→B, k1 = ∼3.3 × 10-4 s-1; B→C, k2 = ∼0.8 × 10-4 s-1) were observed for the proline II→I isomerization of ZRA2 and P9 in acetonitrile and for the proline I→II isomerization of ZRA2 in water, which provides evidence for the growth and decay of a major kinetic intermediate.
