Preparative SDS-PAGE Electroelution for Rapid Purification of Alkyl Hydroperoxide Reductase from Helicobacter pylori
BACKGROUND Alkyl hydroperoxide reductase (AhpC) of Helicobacter pylori is considered as a diagnostic antigen. Therefore, this antigen can be used to detect H. pylori infection by stool immunoassays such as ELISA. The aim of this study was to simplify the AhpC protein purification procedures. METHODS For whole cell protein extraction, the bacterial cells were ruptured by octly-β-D glucopyranos...

متن کاملAlkyl hydroperoxide reductase is the primary scavenger of endogenous hydrogen peroxide in Escherichia coli.
Hydrogen peroxide is generated during aerobic metabolism and is capable of damaging critical biomolecules. However, mutants of Escherichia coli that are devoid of catalase typically exhibit no adverse phenotypes during growth in aerobic media. We discovered that catalase mutants retain the ability to rapidly scavenge H(2)O(2) whether it is formed internally or provided exogenously. Analysis of ...
متن کاملA hydrogen peroxide-forming NADH oxidase that functions as an alkyl hydroperoxide reductase in Amphibacillus xylanus.
The Amphibacillus xylanus NADH oxidase, which catalyzes the reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide with beta-NADH, can also reduce hydrogen peroxide to water in the presence of free flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) or the small disulfide-containing Salmonella enterica AhpC protein. The enzyme has two disulfide bonds, Cys128-Cys131 and Cys337-Cys340, which can act as redox centers in addition...
متن کاملRoles of alkyl hydroperoxide reductase subunit C (AhpC) in viable but nonculturable Vibrio parahaemolyticus.
Alkyl hydroperoxide reductase subunit C (AhpC) is the catalytic subunit responsible for the detoxification of reactive oxygen species that form in bacterial cells or are derived from the host; thus, AhpC facilitates the survival of pathogenic bacteria under environmental stresses or during infection. This study investigates the role of AhpC in the induction and maintenance of a viable but noncu...
