Notes

  • Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) escapes the host immune system by recruitment of the complement regulator vitronectin that inhibits the formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC) by inhibiting C5b-C7 complex formation and C9 polymerization. We previously reported that Hib acquires vitronectin at the surface by using Haemophilus surface fibrils (Hsf). Here we studied in detail the interaction between Hsf and vitronectin and its role in inhibition of MAC formation and invasion of lung epithelial cells. The vitronectin-binding region of Hsf was defined at the N-terminal comprising amino acids Hsf 429-652. Moreover, the Hsf recognition site on vitronectin consisted of the C-terminal amino acids 352-374. H. influenzae was killed more rapidly in vitronectin-depleted serum when compared to normal human serum (NHS), and an increased MAC deposition was observed at the surface of an Hsf-deficient H. influenzae mutant. In parallel, Hsf-expressing E. coli selectively acquired vitronectin from serum that resulted in significant inhibition of the MAC. Moreover, when vitronectin was bound to Hsf an increased bacterial adherence and internalization of epithelial cells was observed. Taken together, we have defined a fine-tuned protein-protein interaction between Hsf and vitronectin that may contribute to an increased virulence of Hib.
