    Large-Scale Identification of Bacteria–Host Crosstalk by Affinity Chromatography: Capturing the Interactions of <i>Streptococcus suis</i> Proteins with Host Cells

    No full text
    Protein–protein interactions between bacteria and their hosts are responsible for all types of infection processes. The investigation of the bacteria–host crosstalk can provide a comprehensive understanding of the pathogenesis of bacterial disease. Despite scattered efforts in this field, a systematic identification of interactions between host and bacterial proteins remains unavailable. Here, we develop ACSP (affinity chromatography-based surface proteomics), which combines affinity chromatography and shotgun proteomics (LC–MS/MS), to investigate the interactions on a large-scale. Using ACSP, the potential surface interacting proteins (SIPs) of Streptococcus suis serotype 2 (SS2) were captured by the chromatographic resin, which was immobilized with the native surface molecules of Hep-2 cells. And then 40 potential SIPs were identified from the preys by LC–MS/MS, including 3 SIPs that have been previously reported in the literature. We selected 8 important SIPs and confirmed their ability to adhere to Hep-2 cells. Additionally, 3 newly identified SIPs, or their polyclonal antibodies, were found to significantly inhibit the adherence of SS2 to Hep-2 cells, indicating their essential role in the interaction between SS2 and Hep-2 cells. Using this example, we show that ACSP represents a new valuable tool for investigating the bacteria–host interactions
