| description | <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> is a Gram-negative bacterium and human pathogen that is linked to various gastric diseases, including peptic ulcer disease, chronic gastritis, and gastric cancer. The filament of the <i>H. pylori</i> flagellum is surrounded by a membranous sheath that is contiguous with the outer membrane. Proteomic analysis of isolated sheathed flagella from <i>H. pylori</i> B128 identified the lipoprotein HP0135 as a potential component of the flagellar sheath. HP0135 is a small protein, with the mature HP0135 lipoprotein only 28 amino acid residues in length. Deletion of <i>hp0135</i> in <i>H. pylori</i> B128 resulted in morphological abnormalities that included extensive formation of outer membrane vesicles and increased frequency of mini-cells. Introducing a plasmid-borne copy of <i>hp0135</i> into the <i>H. pylori</i> Δ<i>hp0135</i> mutant suppressed the morphological abnormalities. The phenotype of the Δ<i>hp0135</i> mutant suggests HP0135 has roles in stabilizing the cell envelope and cell division. |
