摘要: Summary Macrophage infectivity potentiators (MIPs) are a family of surface-exposed virulence factors intracellular microorganisms such as Legionella , Chlamydia and Trypanosoma . These proteins display peptidylprolyl cis / trans isomerase (PPIase) activity that is inhibited by immunosuppressants FK506 rapamycin. Here we describe the identification characterization in Neisseria gonorrhoeae Ng-MIP, lipoprotein with high homology to MIPs. The protein an homodimer rapamycininhibited PPIase confirming it functional member MIP family. A knock-out strain, generated deletion mip gene N. F62 was evaluated for its role infection mouse human macrophages. We show Ng-MIP promotes survival macrophages, highlighting possible this promoting persistence gonococcal infection.
