Repeat modules and N-linked glycans define structure and antigenicity of a critical enterotoxigenic E. coli adhesin

Z. T. Berndsen, M. Akhtar, M. Thapa, T. J. Vickers, A. Schmitz, J. Torres, P. Kumar, N. Khatoon, A. Sheikh, M. Hamrick, J. Diedrich, S. Martinez-Bartolome, P. Garrett, J. Yates, J. Turner, , J. M. Fleckenstein

This study identifies key structural and glycosylation features of EtpA, an ETEC adhesin, and shows how antibodies target different epitopes to influence immune responses and pathogen-host interactions.

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli heat-labile toxin drives enteropathic changes in small 1intestinal epithelia

A. Sheikh, B. Tumala, T. J. Vickers, J. C. Martin, B. A. Rosa, S. Sabui, R. D. Simoes, M. Mitreva, C. Storer, E. Tyksen, R. D. Head, W. Beatty, H. M. Said, J. M. Fleckenstein

This study shows that ETEC heat-labile toxin causes long-term intestinal damage beyond diarrhea, affecting nutrient absorption and growth in mice.

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli degrades the host MUC2 mucin barrier to facilitate critical pathogen-enterocyte interactions in human small intestine.

A. Sheikh, T. Wangdi, T. J. Vickers, B. Aaron, M. P. Palmer, M. Miller, S. Kim, C. Herring, R. Simoes, J. A. Crainic, J. Gildersleeve, S. van der Post, G. C. Hansson, J. M. Fleckenstein

This study shows that ETEC's EatA protein degrades the host MUC2 mucin barrier, enabling bacterial access to enterocytes and toxin delivery.
