The bacterial protein OpuCA, an intracellular part of an ABC transporter, has been shown to interact directly with TRAP. The present invention provides methods and compositions directed at interfering with the interaction between OpuCA and TRAP. The resulting inhibition of TRAP advantageously will reduce pathogenesis of all bacteria that utilize this pathway. The present invention further provides methods and compositions directed at interfering with the interaction between TRAP and the extracellular substrate binding protein OpuCC, or the membrane-associated proteins OpuCB and OpuCD, which, like OpuCA, are encoded by the bacterial OpuC operon. Accordingly, the present methods and compositions will be useful in treating diseases caused by such bacteria.

Il a été démontré que la protéine bactérienne OpuCA, une partie intracellulaire d'un transporteur ABC interagit directement avec TRAP. La présente invention fournit des procédés et des compositions destinés à interférer avec l'interaction entre OpuCA et TRAP. L'inhibition résultante de TRAP va réduire de façon avantageuse la pathogénie de toutes les bactéries qui utilisent cette voie. La présente invention fournit en outre des procédés et des compositions destinés à interférer avec l'interaction entre TRAP et le substrat extracellulaire liant la protéine OpuCC, ou les protéines associées à la membrane OpuCB et OpuCD, qui, comme OpuCA, sont codées par l'opéron OpuC bactérien. Par conséquent, les présents procédés et compositions vont être utiles dans le traitement des maladies causées par une telle bactérie.
