The leukotoxin produced by the oral bacteriumActinobacillus actinomycetemcomitanshas been implicated in the pathogenesis of juvenile periodontitis. In order to elucidate the structure of the leukotoxin, molecular cloning of the leukotoxin gene was carried out. A DNA library ofA. actinomycetemcomitans, strain JP2, was constructed by partial digestion of genomic DNA withSau3AI and ligation of 0.5 to 5.0 kilobase pair fragments into theBamHI site of the plasmid vector pENN-vrf. After transformation intoE. coliRR1(λcI857), the clones were screened for the production ofA. actinomycetemcomitansleukotoxin with polyclonal antibody. Six immunoreactive clones were identified. The clones expressed proteins which ranged from 21–80 kilodaltons, and the clone designated pII-2, producing the largest protein was selected for further study. Antibodies eluted from immobilized pII-2 protein also recognized the nativeA. actinomycetemcomitansleukotoxin molecule indicating that both molecules shared at least one epitope. DNA sequence analysis demonstrated that there are regions of significant amino acid sequence homology between the clonedA. actinomycetemcomitansleukotoxin and two other cytolysins,Escherichia coliα-hemolysin andPasteurella haemolyticaleukotoxin, suggesting that a family of cytolysins may exist which share a common mechanism of killing but vary in their target cell specificity.
