Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, produces a heparin-binding haemagglutinin adhesin (HBHA), which is involved in its epithelial adherence. To ascertain whether HBHA is also present in fast-growing mycobacteria, Mycobacterium smegmatis was studied using anti-HBHA monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). A cross-reactive protein was detected by immunoblotting of M. smegmatis whole-cell lysates. However, the M. tuberculosis HBHA-encoding gene failed to hybridize with M. smegmatis chromosomal DNA in Southern blot analyses. The M. smegmatis protein recognized by the anti-HBHA mAbs was purified by heparin-Sepharose chromatography, and its amino-terminal sequence was found to be identical to that of the previously described histone-like protein, indicating that M. smegmatis does not produce HBHA. Biochemical analysis of the M. smegmatis histone-like protein shows that it is glycosylated like HBHA. Immunoelectron microscopy demonstrated that the M. smegmatis protein is present on the mycobacterial surface, a cellular localization inconsistent with a histone-like function, but compatible with an adhesin activity. In vitro protein interaction assays showed that this glycoprotein binds to laminin, a major component of basement membranes. Therefore, the protein was called M. smegmatis laminin-binding protein (MS-LBP). MS-LBP does not appear to be involved in adherence in the absence of laminin but is responsible for the laminin-mediated mycobacterial adherence to human pneumocytes and macrophages. Homologous laminin-binding adhesins are also produced by virulent mycobacteria such as M. tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae, suggesting that this adherence mechanism may contribute to the pathogenesis of mycobacterial diseases.
