A protein oligomer with an approximate molecular weight of its 37-kDa monomer form was purified from the cell envelope fraction
of Vibrio damsela cells. This oligomer exhibited strong porin activity when reconstituted into proteoliposomes with phosphatidyl choline. The
functional properties for the 37-kDa protein suggest that it is a nonspecific or general porin, with an apparent pore size
of 1.6 nm. This porin allows penetration of a variety of hydrophilic solutes according to their molecular mass. After electroelution,
the oligomer was partially dissociated into monomers, whereas treatment with EDTA did not affect its dissociation. The monomers
of the 37-kDa protein were not active in the reconstitution assay. The effect of culture media on the composition of the outer
membrane protein of V. damsela was examined. Only one outer membrane protein with an apparent molecular weight of 37 kDa (37-kDa protein) was formed in
cells grown in 3% NaCl–BHI broth and in 3% NaCl–nutrient broth with the addition of 2% glucose. Three outer membrane proteins,
with apparent molecular weights of 37 kDa, 40 kDa, and 46 kDa, were produced in cells grown in 3% NaCl–nutrient broth. An
additional outer membrane protein with an apparent molecular weight of 44 kDa (44-kDa protein) was found in cells grown in
3% NaCl–nutrient broth with the addition of 2% maltose. This protein was found to exhibit specificity to maltose derivatives.
The results obtained in this study confirm the porin-like character of discussed proteins and give a basis for advanced study
of those proteins.

Differential Glycosylation of the 5A11/HT7 Antigen by Neural Retina and Epithelial Tissues in the Chicken 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Abstract: The 5A11/HT7 antigen, a member of the immunoglobulin supergene family, has been implicated in heterotypic cell-cell interactions during retina development. Immunopurified 5A11 antigen isolated from Nonidet P-40-solubilized retina membranes had two components as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), a 45.5-kDa doublet and a 69-kDa polypeptide. Immunoreactive bands of 46-50 kDa were recognized following SDS-PAGE of detergent-solubilized membrane proteins from liver, kidney, and erythrocytes. Treatment with N-glycosidase F (EC 3.2.2.18) converted the 45.5–50-kDa immunoreactive polypeptides from all tissues to 32 kDa, indicating that the observed differences in molecular mass were due to differences in glycosylation. N-Glycosidase Ftreatment also converted the 69-kDa form from retina to 46 kDa, indicating a different polypeptide core than the 32-kDa species. Treatment with endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase H (EC 3.2.1.96) resulted in modest increases in electrophoretic mobility due to hydrolysis of high mannose or hybrid oligosaccharides and lack of hydrolysis of complex oligosaccharides resistant to endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase H digestion. Immunoreactivity was retained after deglycosylation. Much of the difference in molecular weight could be attributed to variations in sialylation. The higher molecular mass species of the 45.5-kDa doublet from retina and the polypeptides from other tissues were susceptible to neuraminidase (EC 3.2.1.18) and O-glycosidase (endo-α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase; EC 3.2.1.97) digestion. Labeling with elderberry bark lectin (specific for α2, 6-linked sialic acid) was confined to the higher molecular mass species of the 45.5-kDa doublet and was considerably greater in antigen derived from epithelia rather than neural retina. In paraffin sections of chick retina, elderberry bark lectin staining was confined to the retinal pigmented epithelium, photoreceptor cells, and bipolar cells with no staining of the Müller cells, which bear the bulk of the 5A11 antigen. These results indicate tissue-specific posttranslational modifications, particularly differences in sialylation of antigen-bearing polypeptides. 相似文献

An OmpA family protein (FopA) previously reported as one of the major outer membrane proteins of an acidophilic iron-oxidizing
bacterium Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans was characterized with emphasis on the modification by heat and the interaction with peptidoglycan. A 30-kDa band corresponding
to the FopA protein was detected in outer membrane proteins extracted at 75°C or heated to 100°C for 10 min prior to sodium
dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). However, the band was not detected in outer membrane proteins
extracted at ≤40°C and without boiling prior to electrophoresis. By Western blot analysis using the polyclonal antibody against
the recombinant FopA, FopA was detected as bands with apparent molecular masses of 30 and 90 kDa, suggesting that FopA existed
as an oligomeric form in the outer membrane of A. ferrooxidans. Although the fopA gene with a sequence encoding the signal peptide was successfully expressed in the outer membrane of Escherichia coli, the recombinant FopA existed as a monomer in the outer membrane of E. coli. FopA was detected in peptidoglycan-associated proteins from A. ferrooxidans. The recombinant FopA also showed the peptidoglycan-binding activity. 相似文献

A protein kinase was found in envelope membranes of purified pea (Pisum sativum L.) chloroplasts. Separation of the two envelope membranes showed that most of the enzyme activity was localized in the outer envelope. The kinase was activated by Mg2+ and inhibited by ADP and pyrophosphate. It showed no response to changes in pH in the physiological range (pH 7-8) or conventional protein substrates. Up to ten phosphorylated proteins could be detected in the envelope-membrane fraction. The molecular weights of these proteins, as determined by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis were: two proteins higher than 145 kDa, 97, 86, 62, 55, 46, 34 and 14 kDa. The 86-kDa band being the most pronounced. Experiments with separated inner and outer envelopes showed that most labeled proteins are also localized in the outer-envelope fraction. The results indicate a major function of the outer envelope in the communication between the chloroplast and the parent cell. 相似文献

The major outer membrane protein of Legionella pneumophila exhibits an apparent molecular mass of 100 kDa. Previous studies revealed the oligomer to be composed of 28- and 31-kDa subunits; the latter subunit is covalently bound to peptidoglycan. These proteins exhibit cross-reactivity with polyclonal anti-31-kDa protein serum. In this study, we present evidence to confirm that the 31-kDa subunit is a 28-kDa subunit containing a bound fragment of peptidoglycan. Peptide maps of purified proteins were generated following cyanogen bromide cleavage or proteolysis with staphylococcal V8 protease. A comparison of the banding patterns resulting from sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) revealed a common pattern. Selected peptide fragments were sequenced on a gas phase microsequencer, and the sequence was compared with the sequence obtained for the 28-kDa protein. While the amino terminus of the 31-kDa protein was blocked, peptide fragments generated by cyanogen bromide treatment exhibited a sequence identical to that of the amino terminus of the 28-kDa protein, but beginning at amino acid four (glycine), which is preceded by methionine at the third position. This sequence, (Gly-Thr-Met)-Gly-Pro-Val-Trp-Thr-Pro-Gly-Asn ... , confirms that these proteins have a common amino terminus. An oligonucleotide synthesized from the codons of the common N-terminal amino acid sequence was used to establish by Southern and Northern (RNA) blot analyses that a single gene coded for both proteins. With regard to the putative porin structure, we have identified two major bands at 70 kDa and at approximately 120 kDa by nonreducing SDS-PAGE. The former may represent the typical trimeric motif, while the latter may represent either a double trimer or an aggregate. Analysis of these two forms by two-dimensional SDS-PAGE (first dimensions, nonreducing; second dimensions, reducing) established that both were composed of 31- and 28-kDa subunits cross-linked via interchain disulfide bonds. These studies confirm that the novel L. pneumophila major outer protein is covalently bound to peptidoglycan via a modified 28-kDa subunit (31-kDa anchor protein) and cross-linked to other 28-kDa subunits via interchain disulfide bonds. 相似文献

The surfaces of the disrupted-cell surfaces of the Campylobacter jejuni strains FUM158432 and M1 were examined using the negative-staining technique and electron microscopy. The surfaces of the whole cells and the outer membranes were covered with small dark dots which, in some areas, were arranged in hexagonal patterns. The hexagonal arrangement was more clearly seen in extracted outer membrane. The size of each structure was measured based on a center-to-center distance with the adjacent structure, and was determined to be 9.9±0.9 nm. A profile of the proteins in the outer membrane by SDS-PAGE, performed in 0.1% SDS and at 100 C, showed 42 kDa proteins to comprise the major outer membrane protein of this bacterium. Digestion of the outer membrane materials with proteinase reduced this protein band in the SDS-PAGE, and the amount of dark dots on the electron micrograph indicated the structure to be the major outer membrane protein (porin) of this bacterium. The power spectrogram of a computer-assisted Fourier transformation of the hexagonally arranged porin proteins suggests that the porin has a trimeric structure rather than a monomeric one. 相似文献

A major outer membrane protein with an apparent molecular weight of 42 kDa was purified from Serratia liquefaciens grown on Brain Heart Infusion medium. The same protein was obtained when the cells were grown on a synthetic medium supplemented
with 2% glucose. The amino acid composition of this protein revealed it to be hydrophilic. The pore-forming ability of the
42-kDa protein was determined by the liposome swelling assay. This assay demonstrated that the protein forms nonspecific channels
with a diameter between 1.16 and 1.6 nm. An additional protein with a molecular weight of 47 kDa was obtained on synthetic
medium supplemented with maltose. This protein exhibited specific pore-forming ability to maltose and maltodextrins, but was
also permeable to other compounds, according to their size. When bacteria were grown on Nutrient Broth medium, two outer membrane
proteins with molecular weights of 41 kDa and 42 kDa were produced by the bacteria. All three types of proteins represent
monomers of respective oligomers. The monomers did not exhibit pore-forming ability when incorporated into liposomes. We,
therefore, propose that the oligomer is the functional unit of a porin capable of forming permeability channels in the outer
membrane of Serratia liquefaciens. These results indicate that S. liquefaciens contains several porins exhibiting specific osmoregulation or that are induced by a specific nutrient, where the 42-kDa outer
membrane protein of this bacterium is certainly a major porin.

Campylobacter jejuni major outer membrane protein and a 59-kDa protein are involved in binding to fibronectin and INT 407 cell membranes 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Campylobacter jejuni is one of the major causes of human diarrhea throughout the world. Attachment to host cells and extracellular matrix proteins is considered to be an essential primary event in the pathogenesis of enteritis. Outer membrane proteins of three C. jejuni strains, one of which was aflagellate, were investigated for their contribution to the process of adhesion to INT 407 cell membranes and the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin. Using a ligand-binding immunoblotting assay the flagellin, the major outer membrane protein and a 59-kDa protein were detected to be involved in adhesion to both substrates. The MOMP was able to inhibit the attachment of the bacteria to INT 407 cell membranes partly, when the protein was isolated under native conditions. However, it was totally lost when the protein was isolated in the presence of SDS. The 59-kDa protein of one strain was identified by N-terminal sequencing, and regarding the first 14 amino acids it was found to be identical to the 37-kDa CadF protein just recently described as fibronectin-binding protein of C. jejuni. Especially for the aflagellate strain this protein may be of special importance for adhesion of the bacteria to different substrates. 相似文献

Influence of the culture medium on the expression of surface polypeptides of Yersinia enterocolitica
Three polypeptides (200, 46, and 25 kDal) encoded by the virulence plasmid were detected by SDS-PAGE in the outer membrane of Yersinia enterocolitica 09 grown at 37°C in brain-heart infusion medium. Bacteria grown at the same temperature in the tissue culture medium RPMI 1640 expressed five additional polypeptides (170, 135, 118, 100, and 98 kDal), but the 25-kDal band was not seen. The protein profile in RPMI 1640 resembles the expression pattern displayed by yersiniae when grown in vivo. The immunoblot of total membrane proteins of bacteria grown in brain-heart infusion medium revealed eight plasmid-encoded polypeptides, four of which were also in the outer membrane preparations, including a 28-kDal polypeptide. These peptides do not coincide with known plasmid-encoded outer membrane proteins. 相似文献

Erythrocyte Mr 28,000 transmembrane protein exists as a multisubunit oligomer similar to channel proteins 总被引:33,自引:0,他引:33
A novel Mr 28,000 erythrocyte transmembrane protein was recently purified and found to exist in two forms, "28kDa" and "gly28kDa," the latter containing N-linked carbohydrate (Denker, B. M., Smith, B. L., Kuhajda, F. P., and Agre, P. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 15634-15642). Although 28kDa protein resembles the Rh polypeptides biochemically, structural homologies were not identified by immunoblot or two-dimensional iodopeptide maps. The NH2-terminal amino acid sequence for the first 35 residues of purified 28kDa protein is 37% identical to the 26-kDa major intrinsic protein of lens (Gorin, M. B., Yancey, S. B., Cline, J., Revel, J.-P., and Horwitz, J. Cell 39, 49-59). Antisera to a synthetic peptide corresponding to the NH2-terminus of 28kDa protein gave a single reaction of molecular mass 28kDa on immunoblots of erythrocyte membranes. Selective digestions of intact erythrocytes and inside-out membrane vesicles with carboxypeptidase Y indicated the existence of a 5-kDa COOH-terminal cytoplasmic domain. Multiple studies indicated that 28kDa and gly28kDa proteins exist together as a multisubunit oligomer: 1) similar partial solubilizations in Triton X-100; 2) co-purification during ion exchange and lectin affinity chromatography; 3) cross-linking in low concentrations of glutaraldehyde; and 4) physical analyses of purified proteins and solubilized membranes in 1% (v/v) Triton X-100 showed 28kDa and gly28kDa proteins behave as a large single unit with Stokes radius of 61 A and sedimentation coefficient of 5.7 S. These studies indicate that the 28kDa and gly28kDa proteins are distinct from the Rh polypeptides and exist as a multisubunit oligomer. The 28kDa protein has NH2-terminal amino acid sequence homology and membrane organization similar to major intrinsic protein and other members of a newly recognized family of transmembrane channel proteins. 相似文献

The electron-microscopic technique for immunogold labelling of thawed cryosectioned material (K.T. Tokuyasu, 1989, Histochem J 21: 163–171) has been adapted for use with isolated chloroplasts. Percoll-purified pea (Pisum Sativum L. cv Feltham First) chloroplasts were fixed in a buffered glutaraldehyde solution and then infiltrated with a buffered solution of 10% polyvinylpyrrolidone in 2.07 M sucrose prior to freezing in liquid nitrogen and sectioning in an ultracryomicrotome. Sections were thawed, immunolabelled, and stained with ammonium molybdate in methyl cellulose on Formvar/carbon-coated Cu or Cu/Pd electron-microscope grids. Cryosectioning gave excellent structural preservation and retained antigenicity. The effectiveness of this technique in localizing proteins to their specific chloroplast compartment was assayed using antibodies raised against: (i) the large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), a stromal protein, (ii) the chloroplast ATP synthase (CF1), a peripheral thylakoid protein, and (iii) different envelope membrane proteins. Antibodies raised against three members of the chloroplasticouterenvelopeprotein (OEP) import machinery, a 34-kDa protein (OEP34 or IAP34), the channel-forming 75-kDa protein (OEP75 or IAP75), and the 86-kDa precursor protein receptor (OEP86 or IAP86) were tested for their localization. The previous localization of OEP86, OEP75 and OEP34 to the outer envelope by biochemical methods was confirmed by our immuno electronmicroscopic analysis. Additionally, a constituent of the chloroplastic inner envelope protein (IEP) import machinery IEP 110 (IAP 100) was clearly localized to this membrane. Therefore, cryosectioning and immunogold labelling of intact chloroplasts provides a method for studying the localization of chloroplast proteins, especially those residing in the inner and outer envelope membranes.Abbreviations FCS

The pollination droplet is a highly conservative pollination mechanism that is observed in all major gymnosperm taxa. Proteomics
analysis of the pollination drops was carried out on four gymnosperm species: Juniperus communis (common juniper), Juniperus oxycedrus (prickly juniper), Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (Port Orford cedar), and Welwitschia mirabilis. Pollination drop proteins were purified by SDS-PAGE, and the most abundant proteins were analyzed by mass spectrometry and
sequenced. Based on BLAST searching of combined amino acid sequences, the following proteins were identified in the following
species: an 83-kDa subtilisin-like proteinase, a 62-kDa glycosyl hydrolase, a 47.5-kDa glucan 1,3-β-glucosidase precursor,
a 30-kDa chitinase, and a 25-kDa thaumatin-like protein were identified in J. communis; a 30-kDa chitinase, a 25-kDa thaumatin-like protein, and a 32.5-kDa glucanase-like protein were identified in J. oxycedrus; an 83-kDa subtilisin-like proteinase, a 62-kDa β-d-glucan exohydrolase, a 47.5-kDa glucan 1,3-β-glucosidase, and two 25-kDa thaumatin-like proteins were identified in C. lawsoniana, and a 25-kDa chitinase was identified in W. mirabilis. Based on protein identifications, there is strong evidence that the pollination drop functions in both pathogen defense
and pollen development. The discovery of similarities in terms of peptide sequence and protein identifications indicates that
ovular secretions are functionally conservative, and that they are essential to reproductive success. 相似文献

The 27-kDa outer membrane protein from eight strains of Coxiella burnetii was expressed in the pET-21c protein expression system. Two fusion proteins with molecular masses of 30 and 32 kDa were evident in all eight of the recombinants by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting. A protein having an approximate size of 30 kDa was purified from the Escherichia coli lysates by one-step affinity purification. The utility of the purified recombinant protein in ELISA was also evaluated by testing its reactivity with human sera and comparing this reactivity with that of Nine Mile phase II antigen. All of the 40 IF-positive serum samples were ELISA-positive for both the Nine Mile phase II and recombinant antigens, and negative serum controls were negative for both antigens. These results suggest that ELISA with the 27-kDa recombinant antigen is a sensitive and specific method for detecting anti-C. burnetii antibodies in human sera. 相似文献

The purpose of this work was to investigate the induction of stress shock proteins in Burkholderia sp. YK-2 in response to the phenoxyherbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The stress shock proteins, which contribute
to the resistance of the cytotoxic effect of 2,4-D, were induced at different 2,4-D concentrations in exponentially growing
cultures of Burkholderia sp. YK-2. This response involved the induction of a 43-kDa DnaK and 41-kDa GroEL proteins, characterized by SDS-PAGE and
Western blot by use of the anti-DnaK and anti-GroEL monoclonal antibodies. The total stress shock proteins were analyzed by
2-D PAGE. Survival of Burkholderia sp. YK-2 with time in the presence of different concentrations of 2,4-D was monitored, and viable counts paralleled the induction
of the stress shock proteins in this strain.

Arabidopsis Rubisco activase was recently shown to be regulated by redox changes in the larger (46-kDa) isoform specifically mediated
by thioredoxin-f [Zhang and Portis (1999) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 96: 9438–9443]. Reduction greatly increases the activity
of the 46-kDa isoform and the native protein at physiological ATP/ADP ratios. In this study we conducted additional experiments
to characterize the regulation of Rubisco activase by thioredoxin-f. The Km for both ATP hydrolysis and Rubisco activation by the 46-kDa isoform was lowered by 4 to 5-fold after reduction, but the
maximum activity was increased by only 10%. Only 0.35 μM thioredoxin-f was required for a half-maximal activity change after
a 10 min preincubation and activation with 1 μM was complete after 10 min. Equal amounts of 46-kDa and 43-kDa isoforms were
required for a complete inhibition of the Rubisco activation activity after a reduction-oxidation cycle and assay at an ATP/ADP
ratio of 3:1, whereas activity was only inhibited by 50% at a 2:1 ratio (43-/46-kDa) of the isoforms. This requirement is
consistent with the fact that Arabidopsis normally contains about a 1:1 ratio of the two isoforms at both the mRNA and protein levels. Redox titrations indicated a
midpoint potential of −344 mV for the 46-kDa isoform as compared to −342 mV for spinach fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase at pH
7.9, consistent with previous reports indicating that these proteins are co-regulated by light intensity in a similar manner.

Two major proteins, A and B, were isolated and purified from outer membranes of the unicellular cyanobacterium Synechococcus PCC 6301 by gel filtration, anion-exchange chromatography, and preparative SDS-PAGE. Protein A revealed a single-channel
conductance of 0.4 nanoSiemens (nS) in 1 M KCl, whereas preparations containing both proteins showed two different conductance
maxima of 0.4 and 0.9 nS, suggesting that B also forms pores. The apparent molecular mass of the two closely migrating proteins
was determined as 52 kDa, whereas native porin extracts revealed a relative molecular mass of ca. 140 kDa, indicating trimeric
pore-forming units. Partial sequences of both proteins were obtained by N-terminal sequencing of tryptic peptides, and the
C-terminal amino acid sequences were derived from the complete proteins. These sequences were aligned to protein sequences
available in the databases. The results are discussed.

Protein-phosphorylation activity has been reported in chloroplast envelope membranes of several species. In spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.), we found three major phosphoproteins after incubation in vitro of envelope membranes in the presence of [-32P]ATP. A 67-kDa phosphoprotein was associated with both inner and outer envelope membranes whereas 26- and 14-kDa proteins were observed in the inner membrane. Although the phosphorylation of the 67-kDa protein is likely to take place via its phosphoglucomutase activity (Salvucci et al., 1990, Plant Physiol. 93, 105–109), the mechanism by which 32P is incorporated into the 26- and 14-kDa proteins remains to be elucidated. To this aim, we have compared the conditions under which phosphorylation occurs in these three proteins. The effects of Mg2+, Ca2+, pH, ATP and H7 [1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine], a specific inhibitor of protein-kinase C, as well as pulse-chase experiments with cold ATP, showed that the phosphorylation mechanism was identical for the 26- and 14-kDa proteins but quite different for the 67-kDa one. The protein kinase involved in the phosphorylation of the 26- and 14-kDa proteins was Ca2+-dependent, which was not the case of the 67-kDa protein. In addition, the use of a Triton X-114 phase-separation treatment indicated that both the 26- and 14-kDa proteins exhibited strong hydrophobic properties, in contrast to the hydrophilic character of the 67-kDa phosphoprotein. As indicated by analyses of phosphoamino acids, the three proteins were exclusively phosphorylated on serine residues. Furthermore, a treatment of envelopes by phospholipase C prior to the phosphorylation process inhibited 32P incorporation into the three phospho-proteins to different extents (61%, 50% and 29% inhibition for the 67-, 14- and 26-kDa proteins, respectively). These results show that phosphatidylcholine and — or phosphatidylglycerol but not phosphatidylinositol were involved in this phosphorylation process.Abbreviations EGTA

In order to examine radiation-induced proteins in an extremely radioresistant bacterium, Deinococcus radiodurans R
1, changes in cellular proteins after γ-irradiation were analysed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and silver staining. Nine proteins (190, 120, 87, 60, 58,
52, 46, 41 and 41 kDa) were increased (or appeared) and more than 13 proteins diminished after γ-irradiation at 6 kGy. Increase of eight proteins (except for 190-kDa protein) was prevented when the cells were irradiated
in the presence of chloramphenicol. Three proteins, 87, 60 and 46 kDa, continued to be synthesized during post-irradiation
incubation, and the amounts of these proteins increased with higher doses in a range of 1 – 12 kGy. Changes in the amount
of proteins after irradiation in the R
1 strain were compared with those in a moderately radioresistant mutant (rec 1) and in a highly radiosensitive mutant (rec30). These three proteins were increased in both R
1 and rec 1, but not in rec 30, suggesting that they are characteristic for radioresistant strains. In addition, from the microsequence analysis, the 46-kDa
protein was found to be homologous to the EF-Tu protein of Escherichia coli, whereas the remarkable homologous sequence to the N-terminal of the 60-kDa protein was not found among the known proteins.

ABSTRACT. In the Amoeba-bacteria symbiosis, rod-shaped Gram-negative bacterial endosymbionts reside within symbiosomes in the host cytoplasm, and the host and symbionts are mutually dependent for survival. Three proteins and one group of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) synthesized by the bacterial endosymbionts and two proteins derived from the host cells have been found to be involved in the host-symbiont interactions, although their respective roles are not yet fully known. The symbiont-derived molecules included proteins with molecular weights of 29 kDa, 67 kDa and 96 kDa and LPS. The 29-kDa protein was most abundant in the host cytoplasm, while the 96-kDa protein and LPS were found mostly on the symbiosome membranes. The 67-kDa protein was a GroEL analog and stayed within the symbionts. The host-derived 43-kDa protein, actin, was selectively accumulated by the symbionts, while the 220/225-kDa protein, spectrin, was attached to the symbiosome membranes. The symbiont genes coding for the 29-kDa and 67-kDa proteins were cloned and sequenced. The 29-kDa protein gene was unique with no relation to any known DNA sequences but has a leucine zipper-like motif, suggesting a possible DNA-binding function. The DNA sequence of the 67-kDa protein gene showed a 70% identity with heat-shock-protein genes of Escherichia coli and Coxiella burnetii. 相似文献

A new bacterial isolate, 00-50-5, from sunflower head extracts was identified as Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) according to its morphology. Bt isolate 00-50-5 was highly active against the banded sunflower moth (BSM), Cochylis hospes Walsingham. A sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) 4–15% gradient gel of whole strain protein
of 00-50-5 revealed six proteins with molecular masses (Mr) of 133, 80, 60, 27, 15, and 14 kDa. SDS-PAGE of pH 4.2-precipitated proteins (PP) or activated proteins formed by adding
the BSM larval gut protease at 1:50 (wt/wt, protease/PP) showed five bands, including two major proteins of Mr 60 kDa and 27 kDa, and three small peptides of Mr 15, 13, and 7 kDa. The BSM larval gut protease was able to completely digest the proteins when present at a high ratio (10:1,
wt/wt, protease/PP). The 60- and 27-kDa proteins could be digested by subtilisin Carlsberg at ratios of 1:50 or 1:1 (wt/wt,
protease/PP), but neither BSM larval gut protease nor trypsin was effective at the same ratios. Three small peptides of Mr 15, 13, and 7 kDa were digested by the gut protease at a ratio of 1:1 (wt/wt). The N-terminal sequence of 1–31 amino acid
residues for the 27-kDa protein showed 96.7% homology to a 31-amino acid fragment from camelysin, a protease from B. cereus, indicating that the 27-kDa protein may be a camelysin and a novel active protein against BSM.
