The general secretion pathway of Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora: analysis of the membrane topology of OutC and OutF.
The out gene cluster of Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora (Ecc) encodes the proteins of the type II or general secretory pathway (GSP) apparatus which is required for secretion of pectinase and cellulase. In this study, fusions between Ecc out genes and the topology probe blaM were constructed. The ability of Out protein domains to export BlaM across the cytoplasmic membrane in both Escheric...
متن کاملPolygalacturonase of Erwinia carotovora.
The polygalacturonase, clearly differentiated from polygalacturonic acid trans-eliminase, produced in the culture fluid of Erwinia carotovora was purified 56-fold by means of acetone precipitation, acetate butfer extraction, and two successive treatments by chromatography on carboxymethyl cellulose. The purified enzyme is specific for nonmethoxylated polygalacturonic acid. It shows an optimum p...
متن کاملPhosphatidylethanolamine distribution and fluidity in outer and inner membranes of the gram-negative bacterium Erwinia carotovora.
1. The distribution of phosphatidylethanolamine, the major lipid of Erwinia carotovora, was investigated in intact bacteria, spheroplasts and outer- and inner-membrane preparations, with the amino-group reagent 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulphonic acid. Only 4% was found on the external surface of the outer membrane with 30% on the internal surface, whereas the inner membrane had 27 and 38% on its e...
متن کاملStructural basis for alginate secretion across the bacterial outer membrane.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the predominant pathogen associated with chronic lung infection among cystic fibrosis patients. During colonization of the lung, P. aeruginosa converts to a mucoid phenotype characterized by the overproduction of the exopolysaccharide alginate. Secretion of newly synthesized alginate across the outer membrane is believed to occur through the outer membrane protein AlgE...
متن کاملMultiple pathways allow protein secretion across the bacterial outer membrane.
Secretion of proteins across the bacterial outer membrane takes place via a variety of mechanisms from simple one-component systems to complex multicomponent pathways. Secretion pathways can be organized into evolutionarily and functionally related groups, which highlight their relationship with organelle biogenesis. Recent work is beginning to reveal the structure and function of various secre...
