Inhibition of colicin e2 activity by bacterial lipopolysaccharide.
Lipopolysaccharide isolated from colicin E2-sensitive Escherichia coli and from "receptor-minus" mutants inhibits the activity of colicin E2. Lipid A and the polysaccharide fraction obtained by mild acid hydrolysis of lipopolysaccharide are inactive either alone or when tested in combination. Periodate oxidation of lipopolysaccharide destroys over 85% of its inhibition activity.
متن کاملStabilization of colicin E2 by bovine serum albumin.
Colicin E2 was partially purified from Escherichia coli W3110. This preparation was remarkably stabilized by bovine serum albumin in a solution at neutral pH, as shown by dilution experiments and tests on heat stability of colicin. One killing unit of colicin E2 was estimated to correspond to one molecule of colicin E2, on the assumption of a molecular weight of 60,000.
متن کاملInhibition of lipopolysaccharide-induced prostaglandin E2 production and inflammation by the Na+/H+ exchanger inhibitors.
We analyzed the effects of the Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) inhibitor 3,5-diamino-6-chloro-N-(diaminomethylidene)pyrazine-2-carboxamide hydrochloride (amiloride) and its analogs 5-(N,N-dimethyl)-amiloride (DMA) and 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl)-amiloride (EIPA) on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced production of prostaglandin (PG) E2 in vitro and in vivo. In the mouse macrophage-like cell line RAW 264, t...
متن کاملKinetics of adsorption of colicin CA42-E2 and reversal of its bactericidal activity.
The kinetics of killing of Escherichia coli K-12 by colicin CA42-E2 have been studied, and the data were used to estimate the adsorption constant of this colicin under various environmental conditions. Evidence was obtained suggesting that the adsorption of colicin occurred in two stages; the earlier stage was reversible and did not lead to the death of the cell, the latter stage was irreversib...
متن کاملAmount of Colicin Release in Escherichia coli Is Regulated by Lysis Gene Expression of the Colicin E2 Operon
The production of bacteriocins in response to worsening environmental conditions is one means of bacteria to outcompete other microorganisms. Colicins, one class of bacteriocins in Escherichia coli, are effective against closely related Enterobacteriaceae. Current research focuses on production, release and uptake of these toxins by bacteria. However, little is known about the quantitative aspe...
