| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Whooping cough is largely known as a vaccine preventable disease. However, there are many examples that children who were vaccinated have typical symptoms of whooping cough, meaning Bordetella pertussis, which is a causative agent of whooping cough, is obtaining resistance against the vaccine. It is also largely unknown the molecular mechanisms how B. pertussis cause the severe coughing. In the present study, we investigated the function of BopC, which is one of the virulence factors produced by Bordetella, during the bacterial infection. Our results suggest that BopC induce cell death against mammalian cells in the actin polymerization-dependent manner.
