Neisseria meningitidis has an incomplete PTS composed of general proteins EI and HPr and two EIIAs (EIIANtr and EIIAMan). This system does not allow the transport of sugars in this bacterium. However, we confirmed that the phosphorylation cascade (EI HPr EIIANtr) is functional and HPr is also phosphorylated at its Ser-46 by an HprK/P.In order to study the effect of HPr on meningococcal virulence, we constructed a ΔptsH mutant in N. meningitidis 2C4-3. Compared to the wild-type strain, the ΔptsH mutant showed poor survival in mice, low production of capsule, better adherence to epithelial cells and high levels of apoptotic cells. HPr appears to be involved in the virulence of N. meningitidis by interacting with CrgA protein. The HPr/CrgA int...
