Helicobacter pylori; Outer membrane inflammatory protein A; Signal transduction; Biological significance
Outer membrane proteins (OMPs) represent an important class of proteins that are observed in gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts. These proteins play diverse biological roles in protein translocation, cell-cell communication and signal transduction. A variety of OMPs have been identified in the gastrointestinal pathogen Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) since it was first isolated in 1983. Among these proteins, outer membrane inflammatory protein A (OipA), which is encoded by hopH and unique to this pathogen, is a differentially expressed outer membrane protein that has been confirmed to be directly linked to H. pylori colonization, as well as to the pathogenesis of H. pylori and disease outcome. In this review, we will describe the progress of recent studies on OipA, particularly those on the functions and biological significance of this unique protein.
