A gene encoding a Na(+)/H(+) antiporter was obtained from the genome of Halobacillus aidingensis AD-6(T), which was sequenced and designated as nhaH. The deduced amino acid sequence of the gene was 91% identical to the NhaH of H. dabanensis, and shared 54% identity with the NhaG of Bacillus subtilis. The cloned gene enable the Escherichia coli KNabc cell, which lack all of the major Na(+)/H(+) antiporters, to grow in medium containing 0.2 M NaCl or 10 mM LiCl. The nhaH gene was predicted to encode a 43.5 kDa protein (403 amino acid residues) with 11 putative transmembrane regions. Everted membrane vesicles prepared from E. coli KNabc cells carrying NhaH exhibited Na(+)/H(+) as well as Li(+)/H(+) antiporter activity, which was pH-dependent with the highest activity at pH 8.0, and no K(+)/H(+) antiporter activity was detected. The deletion of hydrophilic C-terminal amino acid residues showed that the short C-terminal tail was vital for Na(+)/H(+) antiporter activity. 相似文献

Little information is available on the C-terminal hydrophilic tails of prokaryotic Na(+)/H(+) antiporters. To address functional properties of the C-terminal tail, truncation mutants in this domain were constructed. Truncation of C-terminal amino acid residues of NhaP1 type antiporter from Synechocystis PCC6803 (SynNhaP1) did not change the V(max) values, but increased the K(m) values for Na(+) and Li(+) about 3 to 15-fold. Truncation of C-terminal tail of a halotolerant cyanobacterium Aphanothece halophytica (ApNhaP1) significantly decreased the V(max) although it did not alter the K(m) values for Na(+). The C-terminal part of SynNhaP1 was expressed in E. coli and purified as a 16kDa soluble protein. Addition of purified polypeptide to the membrane vesicles expressing the C-terminal truncated SynNhaP1 increased the exchange activities. Change of Glu519 and Glu521 to Lys in C-terminal tail altered the pH dependence of Na(+)/H(+) and Li(+)/H(+) exchange activities. These results indicate that the specific acidic amino acid residues at C-terminal domain play important roles for the K(m) and the pH dependence of the exchange activity. 相似文献

A Kluyveromyces lactis strain resistant to ethidium bromide and deficient in potassium uptake was isolated. Studies on the proton-pumping activity of the mutant strain showed that a decreased H(+)-ATPase specific activity was responsible for the observed phenotypes. The putative K. lactis PMA1 gene encoding the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase was cloned by its ability to relieve the potassium transport defect of this mutant and by reversing its resistance to ethidium bromide. Its deduced amino acid sequence predicts a protein 899 residues long that is structurally colinear in its full length to H(+)-ATPases cloned from different yeasts, except for the presence of a variable N-terminal domain. By PCR-mediated amplification, we identified a transition from G to A that rendered the substitution of the fully conserved methionine at position 699 by isoleucine. We attribute to this amino acid change the low capacity of the mutant H(+)-ATPase to pump out protons. 相似文献

Summary To study the structure-function relationship of outer membrane pore proteins of E. coli K12, a hybrid gene was constructed in which the DNA encoding amino acid residues 2–73 of the mature PhoE protein is replaced by the homologous part of the related ompF gene. The product of this gene is incorporated normally into the outer membrane. It was characterized with respect to its pore activity and its phage receptor and colicin receptor properties. It is concluded (i) that the preference of the PhoE protein pore for negatively charged solutes is partly determined by the amino terminal 73 amino acids, (ii) that part of the receptor site of PhoE protein for phage TC45 is located in this part of the protein, (iii) that colicin N uses OmpF protein as (part of) its receptor, (iv) that the specificity of OmpF protein as a colicin N receptor is completely located within the 80 amino terminal amino acid residues, whereas the specificity of this protein as a colicin A receptor is completely located within the 260 carboxy terminal amino acid residues, and (v) that the amino terminal 73 amino acid residues of PhoE protein span the membrane at least once. 相似文献

Nitrite reductase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa: sequence of the gene and the protein 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

The gene coding for nitrite reductase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been cloned and its sequence determined. The coding region is 1707 bp long and contains information for a polypeptide chain of 568 amino acids. The sequence of the mature protein has been confirmed independently by extensive amino acid sequencing. The amino-terminus of the mature protein is located at Lys-26; the preceding 25 residue long extension shows the features typical of signal peptides. Therefore the enzyme is probably secreted into the periplasmic space. The mature protein is made of 543 amino acid residues and has a molecular mass of 60,204 Da. The c-heme-binding domain, which contains the only two Cys of the molecule, is located at the amino-terminal region. Analysis of the protein sequence in terms of hydrophobicity profile gives results consistent with the fact that the enzyme is fully water soluble and not membrane bound; the most hydrophilic region appears to correspond to the c-heme domain. Secondary structure predictions are in general agreement with previous analysis of circular dichroic data. 相似文献

Site-specific mutations in a minimal voltage-dependent K+ channel alter ion selectivity and open-channel block 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
MinK is a small membrane protein of 130 amino acids with a single potential membrane-spanning alpha-helical domain. Its expression in Xenopus oocytes induces voltage-dependent, K(+)-selective channels. Using site-directed mutagenesis of a synthetic gene, we have identified residues in the hydrophobic region of minK that influence both ion selectivity and open-channel block. Single amino acid changes increase the channel's relative permeability for NH4+ and Cs+ without affecting its ability to exclude Na+ and Li+. Blockade by two common K+ channel pore blockers, tetraethylammonium and Cs+, was also modified. These results suggest that an ion selectivity region and binding sites for the pore blockers within the conduction pathway have been modified. We conclude that the gene encoding minK is a structural gene for a K+ channel protein. 相似文献

Rise and fall of the delta globin gene 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
The complete nucleotide sequence of the gene phoE, which codes for the phosphate limitation inducible outer membrane pore protein of Escherichia coli K12 was established. The results show that PhoE protein is synthesized in a precursor form with a 21 amino acid residue amino-terminal extension. This peptide has the general characteristics of a signal sequence. The promoter region of phoE has no homlogy with the consensus sequence of E. coli promoter regions, but homologous sequences with the promoter region of phoA, the structural gene for alkaline phosphatase, were observed. The deduced amino acid sequence showed that the mature PhoE protein is composed of 330 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular weight of 36,782. A number of 81 charged amino acids was found scattered throughout the protein while no large stretches of hydrophobic amino acids were observed. Hydrophobicity and hydration profiles of PhoE protein showed five pronounced hydrophilic maxima which are all located in the region from the amino terminus to residue 212.When the deduced amino acid sequence of PhoE protein was compared with the established sequence of the OmpF pore protein, a number of 210 identical residues was found. Some aspects of the structure-function relationship of PhoE protein are discussed in view of the hydrophobicity and hydration profiles, and the homology between PhoE protein and OmpF protein. 相似文献

Isolation and amino acid sequence of the 'Rieske' iron sulfur protein of beef heart ubiquinol:cytochrome c reductase 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The sequence of the 'Rieske' iron sulfur protein from the bc1 complex of beef heart mitochondria has been determined by solid phase Edman degradation of the whole protein and of various proteolytic fragments. The protein consists of 196 amino acid residues. The molecular mass of the apoprotein was calculated to be 21,536 Da, that of the holo-protein including the Fe2S2 cluster as 21,708 Da. The protein is mainly hydrophilic with a polarity index of 42.9% and 25% of charged residues. It contains a hydrophobic membrane anchor which is predicted to form a 'hairpin' structure. The iron sulfur cluster is bound near the C-terminus of the protein between a hydrophobic and a more amphipathic domain. This reflects the fact that the cluster is located near the outer surface of the inner mitochondrial membrane. A folding pattern describing all known features of the protein is proposed. 相似文献

Nucleotide sequence of the pldB gene and characteristics of deduced amino acid sequence of lysophospholipase L2 in Escherichia coli 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The nucleotide sequence of the pldB gene of Escherichia coli K-12, which codes for lysophospholipase L2 located in the inner membrane, was determined. The deduced amino acid sequence of lysophospholipase L2 contains 340 amino acid residues, resulting in a protein with a molecular weight of 38,934. It is characterized by a high content of arginine residues (36 out of 340 residues). The amino acid sequence near the NH2-terminus of the protein is composed of a large number of polar or charged amino acid residues, suggesting that this region cannot be a signal peptide. The hydropathy profile of the deduced amino acid sequence of lysophospholipase L2 was studied. Most of the region was rather hydrophilic, and there was no stretch of hydrophobic amino acid region, such as might be predicted to traverse the lipid bilayer. These results are consistent with the experimental observation that lysophospholipase L2 is extracted by salt solution from the membrane fraction, and it may be classified as a peripheral membrane protein. Computer analysis showed that there is no homology in amino acid sequences between lysophospholipase L2 and other extracellular phospholipases, as well as detergent-resistant phospholipase A, which is another membrane-bound phospholipase in E. coli and whose DNA sequence was determined (Homma, H., Kobayashi, T., Chiba, N., Karasawa, K., Mizushima, H., Kudo, I., Inoue, K., Ideka, H., Sekiguchi, M., & Nojima, S. (1984) J. Biochem. 96, 1655-1664). This is the first report of the primary structure of a lysophospholipase. 相似文献

Amino acid sequence of human respiratory syncytial virus envelope glycoprotein (G) was deduced from the DNA sequence of a recombinant plasmid and confirmed by limited amino acid microsequencing of purified 90K G protein. The calculated molecular mass of the protein encoded by the only long open reading frame of 298 amino acids was 32,588 daltons and was somewhat smaller than the 36K polypeptide translated in vitro from mRNA selected by this plasmid. Inspection of the sequence revealed a single hydrophobic domain of 23 amino acids capable of membrane insertion at 41 residues from the N-terminus. There was no N-terminal signal sequence and the hydrophilic N-terminal 20 residues probably represent the cytoplasmic tail of the protein. The N-terminally oriented membrane insertion was somewhat analogous to paramyxovirus hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) and influenza neuraminidase (NA). The protein was moderately hydrophilic and rich in hydroxy-amino acids. It was both N- and O-glycosylated with the latter contributing significantly to the net molecular mass 90K. 相似文献

We cloned novel Na(+)-ATPase (HANA) cDNA from marine alga Heterosigma akashiwo. The full-length HANA cDNA was 4467 bp long and coded for a 1330 amino acid protein with a molecular weight of 146,306. The deduced product exhibited around 40% identity in amino acids with Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunits. A hydrophilic sequence of 285 amino acid residues that showed no homology with any sequence listed in databases existed in the M7--M8 junction of HANA. This is the first report on the primary structure of putative Na(+)-transporting ATPase from plant cells. 相似文献

The amino acid sequence for a novel human membrane protein that induces selective potassium permeation by membrane depolarization was deduced by molecular cloning and sequence analysis of its genomic DNA. This protein consists of 129 amino acid residues and shares several structural characteristics with the rat counterpart. These include a single putative transmembrane domain surrounded by many charged amino acid residues, two potential N-glycosylation sites at the amino-terminal portion and a single cysteine residue at the carboxyl-terminal portion. The transmembrane domain and its flanking carboxyl-terminal sequence are highly conserved between the human and rat sequences. Because the slowly activating potassium current elicited by the human protein on its expression in Xenopus oocytes is indistinguishable from that induced by the rat protein, the sequence conserved at the transmembrane domain and its following sequence should play an essential role in the induction of selective K+ permeation. 相似文献

We present the nucleotide sequence and the deduced amino acid sequence of a cDNA clone that encodes the entire precursor of the 37-kDa inner envelope membrane protein from spinach chloroplasts. The precursor protein consists of 344 amino acids (Mr 38,976). In vitro processing followed by radiosequence analysis of the in vitro transcribed and translated precursor protein revealed that its transit peptide consists of only 21 amino acid residues. The transit peptide has the potential to form an amphiphilic alpha-helix with a strong hydrophobic moment. It is speculated that this structural element represents an ancestral envelope-targeting domain. The in vitro synthesized precursor protein is directed to the chloroplasts and it is inserted into the envelope membrane in an ATP-dependent manner. The mature protein (323 amino acid residues, Mr 36,830) has a moderate hydrophobicity and contains only one membrane-spanning segment which is located at the C-terminus and possibly anchors the protein within the envelope membrane. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequence of the faeD gene of Escherichia coli and the amino acid sequence of its product is presented. The faeD product is an outer membrane protein required for transport of K88ab fimbrial subunits across the outer membrane. The protein is synthesized as a precursor containing a signal peptide, and the tentative mature protein comprises 777 amino acid residues. The distribution of amino acids in the faeD protein is similar to that of other outer membrane proteins; showing a fairly even distribution of charged residues and the absence of extensive hydrophobic stretches. Secondary structure predictions revealed a region of 250 amino acid residues which might be embedded in the outer membrane. The 5'-end of faeD is located within a region showing dyad symmetry. This region serves to couple translation of faeD to the translation of the gene preceding it (faeC). The 3'-end of faeD shows an overlap of 5 bases with the next gene (faeE). 相似文献

The primary structure of ribosomal protein L12 from Methanococcus vannielii has been determined by direct amino acid sequence analysis with automated liquid phase Edman degradation of the entire protein and manual 4-N,N'-dimethylaminoazobenzene-4'-isothiocyanate/phenylisothiocyanate sequencing of fragments obtained by enzymatic digestion and by partial acid hydrolysis. The knowledge of the amino acid sequences of these various fragments allowed the synthesis of two oligonucleotide probes complementary to the 5'- and the 3'-end of the gene, and they were used for hybridization with digested M. vannielii chromosomal DNA. Both oligonucleotide probes gave similar and clear hybridization signals. The plasmid pMvaX1 containing the entire gene of protein L12 was obtained. The nucleotide sequence complemented the partial amino acid sequence, and it is in full agreement with the protein sequence and the amino acid analysis. Comparison of secondary structural elements and hydrophobicity plots of the M. vannielii protein L12 with the known L12 sequences derived from other archaebacterial and eukaryotic sources show strong homologies among these sequences. They contain an exceptional highly conserved hydrophilic sequence area in the C-terminal part of the proteins. In comparison with eubacterial L12 proteins, the conservation is reduced to single amino acid residues. However, the eubacterial L12 proteins have hydrophilic regions similar to those of L12 from M. vannielii. These regions are predicted to be located at the surface of the proteins, as has been proven to be the case in crystallized Escherichia coli L12 protein. It is possible that the strongly conserved hydrophilic sequence regions form part of the factor-binding domain. 相似文献

The N-terminal domain of the OmpA protein from Escherichia coli, consisting of 170 amino acid residues, is embedded in the outer membrane, in the form of an antiparallel beta-barrel whose eight transmembrane beta-strands are connected by three short periplasmic turns and four relatively large surface-exposed hydrophilic loops. This protein domain serves as a paradigm for the study of membrane assembly of integral beta-structured membrane proteins. In order to dissect the structural and functional roles of the surface-exposed loops, they were shortened separately and in all possible combinations. All 16 loop deletion mutants assembled into the outer membrane with high efficiency and adopted the wild-type membrane topology. This systematic approach proves the absence of topogenic signals (e.g., in the form of loop sizes or charge distributions) in these loops. The shortening of surface-exposed loops did not reduce the thermal stability of the protein. However, none of the mutant proteins, with the exception of the variant with the fourth loop shortened, served as a receptor for the OmpA-specific bacteriophage K3. Furthermore, all loops were necessary for the OmpA protein to function in the stabilization of mating aggregates during F conjugation. An OmpA deletion variant with all four loops shortened, consisting of only 135 amino acid residues, constitutes the smallest beta-structured integral membrane protein known to date. These results represent a further step toward the development of artificial outer membrane proteins. 相似文献

Mitochondrial energy-linked nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase. Membrane topography of the bovine enzyme 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The mitochondrial energy-linked nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase is a homodimer of monomer Mr = 109,228. Hydropathy analysis of its cDNA-deduced amino acid sequence (1043 residues) has indicated that the molecule is composed of 3 domains: a 430-residue-long hydrophilic N-terminal domain which binds NAD(H), a 200-residue-long hydrophilic C-terminal domain which binds NADP(H), and a 400-residue-long hydrophobic central domain which appears to be made up mainly of about 14 hydrophobic clusters of approximately 20 residues each. In this study, antibodies were raised to the hydrophilic N- and C-terminal domains cleaved from the isolated transhydrogenase by proteolytic digestion, and to a synthetic, hydrophilic pentadecapeptide, which corresponded to position 540-554 within the central hydrophobic domain. Immunochemical experiments with mitoplasts (mitochondria denuded of outer membrane) and submitochondrial particles (inside-out inner membrane vesicles) as sources of antigens showed that essentially the entire N- and C-terminal hydrophilic domains of the transhydrogenase, as well as epitopes from the central pentadecapeptide, protrude from the inner membrane into the mitochondrial matrix, where the N- and C-terminal domains would be expected to come together to form the enzyme's catalytic site. Treatment of mitoplasts with several proteolytic enzymes indicated that large protease-sensitive masses of the transhydrogenase are not exposed on the cytosolic side of the inner membrane, which agreed with the exception that the central highly hydrophobic domain of the molecule should be largely membrane-intercalated. Trypsin, alpha-chymotrypsin, and papain had little or no effect on the mitoplast-embedded transhydrogenase. Proteinase K, subtilisin (Nagarse), thermolysin, and pronase E each split the mitoplast-embedded enzyme into two fragments only, a fragment of approximately 70 kDa containing the N-terminal hydrophilic domain, and one of approximately 40 kDa bearing the C-terminal hydrophilic domain. The cleavage site of proteinase K was determined to be A690 -A691, which is located in a small hydrophilic segment within the central hydrophobic domain. This protease-sensitive loop appears to be exposed on the cytosolic side of the inner membrane. The proteinase K-nicked enzyme containing two peptides of 71 and 39 kDa was isolated from mitoplasts and shown to have high transhydrogenase activity. 相似文献

Voltage-sensing arginines in a potassium channel permeate and occlude cation-selective pores 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
Voltage-gated ion channels sense voltage by shuttling arginine residues located in the S4 segment across the membrane electric field. The molecular pathway for this arginine permeation is not understood, nor is the filtering mechanism that permits passage of charged arginines but excludes solution ions. We find that substituting the first S4 arginine with smaller amino acids opens a high-conductance pathway for solution cations in the Shaker K(+) channel at rest. The cationic current does not flow through the central K(+) pore and is influenced by mutation of a conserved residue in S2, suggesting that it flows through a protein pathway within the voltage-sensing domain. The current can be carried by guanidinium ions, suggesting that this is the pathway for transmembrane arginine permeation. We propose that when S4 moves it ratchets between conformations in which one arginine after another occupies and occludes to ions the narrowest part of this pathway. 相似文献

Subunit KtrA of the bacterial Na(+)-dependent K(+)-translocating KtrAB systems belongs to the KTN/RCK family of regulatory proteins and protein domains. They are located at the cytoplasmic side of the cell membrane. By binding ligands they regulate the activity of a number of K(+) transporters and K(+) channels. To investigate the function of KtrA from the bacterium Vibrio alginolyticus (VaKtrA), the protein was overproduced in His-tagged form (His(10)-VaKtrA) and isolated by affinity chromatography. VaKtrA contains a G-rich, ADP-moiety binding beta-alpha-beta-fold ("Rossman fold"). Photocross-linking and flow dialysis were used to determine the binding of [(32)P]ATP and [(32)P]NAD(+) to His(10)-VaKtrA. Binding of other nucleotides was estimated from the competition by these compounds of the binding of the (32)P-labeled nucleotides to the protein. [gamma-(32)P]ATP bound with high affinity to His(10)-VaKtrA (K(D) of 9 microm). All other nucleotides tested exhibited K(D) (K(i)) values of 30 microm or higher. Limited proteolysis with trypsin showed that ATP was the only nucleotide that changed the conformation of VaKtrA. ATP specifically promoted complex formation of VaKtrA with the His-tagged form of its K(+)-translocating partner, VaKtrB-His(6), as detected both in an overlay experiment and in an experiment in which VaKtrA was added to VaKtrB-His(6) bound to Ni(2+)-agarose. In intact cells of Escherichia coli both a high of membrane potential and a high cytoplasmic ATP concentration were required for VaKtrAB activity. C-terminal deletions in VaKtrA showed that for in vivo activity at least 169 N-terminal amino acid residues of its total of 220 are required and that its 40 C-terminal residues are dispensable. 相似文献
