E. G. Gulinin ekumeeninen työ ja ajattelu

This study explores ecumenical activity of professor and bishop E. G. Gulin (1893 1975). Gulin was one of the key figures in the Finland s Evangelical Lutheran Church during the twentieth century. He was also one of the leading persons who imported ecumenical influences from abroad. However, unlike other churches, the Church of Finland did not recognise his importance. For example, in the 1950s Gulin was seen by the Anglicans as a future archbishop for the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland. Gulin s career as an ecumenist can be divided to three parts. Between 1917 and 1929, Gulin learned ecumenical working methods in Finland s World Student Christian Federation. He had a background in the revivalist movement, and his parents supported him in his studies. The Evangelical Lutheran Church did not originally play a major role for Gulin, although he was a member. Between 1930 and 1944, Gulin had more and more responsibility as a leading ecumenist in Finland. He became a member of Finland s ecumenical board, Yleiskirkollinen toimikunta. During the Second World War Gulin tried to solicit assistance for Finland s war effort at theological conferences, where Finnish theologians often discussed cooperation among Christians. A third period started in 1945, when Gulin became the bishop of Tampere. His new status in the Evangelical Lutheran Church placed him in a challenging position in ecumenical questions. He had responsibility for inter-church aid in Finland. He also participated in the World Council of Churches (WCC) assemblies in Evanston in 1954 and in New Delhi in 1961. Gulin s role was quite insignificant in those meetings. Closely related to Gulin s texts about ecumenism is kokemus, experience. Gulin wrote about his ecumenical experience or ekumeeninen kokemus. He believed that it was vital for the churches to appreciate their own experiences, since experience was the basis for further development. Yet Gulin mentioned very little about Christian dogma. The main reason seems to have been that he did not believe that a union between churches could be built on dogma.

Structural and Functional Studies on Trimeric Autotransporters

Trimeric autotransporters are a family of secreted outer membrane proteins in Gram-negative bacteria. These obligate homotrimeric proteins share a conserved C-terminal region, termed the translocation unit. This domain consists of an integral membrane β-barrel anchor and associated α-helices which pass through the pore of the barrel. The α-helices link to the extracellular portion of the protein, the passenger domain. Autotransportation refers to the way in which the passenger domain is secreted into the extracellular space. It appears that the translocation unit mediates the transport of the passenger domain across the outer membrane, and no external factors, such as ATP, ion gradients nor other proteins, are required. The passenger domain of autotransporters contains the specific activities of each protein. These are usually related to virulence. In trimeric autotransporters, the main function of the proteins is to act as adhesins. One such protein is the Yersinia adhesin YadA, found in enteropathogenic species of Yersinia. The main activity of YadA from Y. enterocolitica is to bind collagen, and it also mediates adhesion to other molecules of the extracellular matrix. In addition, YadA is involved in serum resistance, phagocytosis resistance, binding to epithelial cells and autoagglutination. YadA is an essential virulence factor of Y. enterocolitica, and removal of this protein from the bacteria leads to avirulence. In this study, I investigated the YadA-collagen interaction by studying the binding of YadA to collagen-mimicking peptides by several biochemical and biophysical methods. YadA bound as tightly to the triple-helical model peptide (Pro-Hyp-Gly)10 as to native collagen type I. However, YadA failed to bind a similar peptide that does not form a collagenous triple helix. As (Pro-Hyp-Gly)10 does not contain a specific sequence, we concluded that a triple-helical conformation is necessary for YadA binding, but no specific sequence is required. To further investigate binding determinants for YadA in collagens, I examined the binding of YadA to a library of collagen-mimicking peptides that span the entire triple-helical sequences of human collagens type II and type III. YadA bound promiscuously to many but not all peptides, indicating that a triple-helical conformation alone is not sufficient for binding. The high-binding peptides did not share a clear binding motif, but these peptides were rich in hydroxyproline residues and contained a low number of charged residues. YadA thus binds collagens without sequence specificity. This strategy of promiscuous binding may be advantageous for pathogenic bacteria. The Eib proteins from Escherichia coli are immunoglobulin (Ig)-binding homologues of YadA. I showed conclusively that recombinant EibA, EibC, EibD and EibF bind to IgG Fc. I crystallised a fragment of the passenger domain of EibD, which binds IgA in addition to IgG. The structure has a YadA-like head domain and an extended coiled-coil stalk. The top half of the coiled-coil is right-handed with hendecad periodicity, whereas the lower half is a canonical left-handed coiled-coil. At the transition from right- to left-handedness, a small β-sheet protrudes from each monomer. I was able to map the binding regions for IgG and IgA using truncations and site-directed mutagenesis to the coiled-coil stalk and identified residues critical for Ig binding.
