We present the characterization of BAPKO_0422, an outer membrane protein from Borrelia afzelii. Circular dichroism, size exclusion and small angle X-ray scattering data indicate a monomeric structure rich in β-strand. Recombinant BAPKO_0422 binds to human factor H.

ABSTRACTThe complement system is an important first line of defense against the human pathogenHaemophilus influenzae. To survive and propagatein vivo,H. influenzaehas evolved mechanisms for subverting this host defense, most of which have been shown to involve outer surface structures, including lipooligosaccharide glycans and outer surface proteins. Bacterial defense against complement acts at multiple steps in the pathway by mechanisms that are not fully understood. Here we identify outer membrane protein P5 as an essential factor in serum resistance of bothH. influenzaestrain Rd and nontypeableH. influenzae(NTHi) clinical isolate NT127. P5 was essential for resistance of Rd and NT127 to complement in pooled human serum. Further investigation determined that P5 expression decreased cell surface binding of IgM, a potent activator of the classical pathway of complement, to both Rd and NT127. Additionally, P5 expression was required for NT127 to bind factor H (fH), an important inhibitor of alternative pathway (AP) activation. Collectively, the results obtained in this work highlight the ability ofH. influenzaeto utilize a single protein to perform multiple protective functions for evading host immunity.
