Molecular Evolution of the Yersinia Major Outer Membrane Protein C (OmpC)
The genus Yersinia includes species with a wide range of eukaryotic hosts (from fish, insects, and plants to mammals and humans). One of the major outer membrane proteins, the porin OmpC, is preferentially expressed in the host gut, where osmotic pressure, temperature, and the concentrations of nutrients and toxic products are relatively high. We consider here the molecular evolution and phylog...
متن کاملOverexpression, refolding, and purification of the major immunodominant outer membrane porin OmpC from Salmonella typhi: characterization of refolded OmpC.
The major immunodominant integral outer membrane protein C (OmpC) from Salmonella typhi Ty21a was overexpressed, without the signal peptide, in Escherichia coli. The protein aggregates as inclusion bodies (IBs) in the cytoplasm. OmpC from IBs was solubilized with 4 M urea and refolded. This involved rapid dilution of unfolded OmpC into a refolding buffer containing polyoxyethylene-9-lauryl ethe...
متن کاملMolecular cloning of the temperature-inducible outer membrane protein 1 of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis.
When Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is shifted from growth at 26 degrees C to growth at 37 degrees C, the synthesis of a plasmid-associated outer membrane protein, protein 1, is induced (Bölin et al., Infect. Immun. 37:506-512). The structural gene of this protein was found to be located on the virulence plasmid pIB1 of Y. pseudotuberculosis. One cosmid hybrid plasmid pBW8 was studied which carrie...
متن کاملIsolation of the outer membrane and characterization of the major outer membrane protein from Spirochaeta aurantia.
The outer membrane of Spirochaeta aurantia was isolated after cells were extracted with sodium lauryl sarcosinate and was subsequently purified by differential centrifugation and KBr isopycnic gradient centrifugation. The purified outer membrane was obtained in the form of carotenoid-containing vesicles. Four protein species with apparent molecular weights of 26,000 (26K), 36.5K, 41K, and 48.5K...
متن کاملRoles of Lipopolysaccharide and the Outer Membrane Protein OmpC on Bacteriophage T4 Infectivity in Escherichia coli
Although previous studies have demonstrated that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the outer membrane protein OmpC are required for bacteriophage T4 infectivity in Escherichia coli, it is unclear whether they played a role in binding or in the downstream viral processes that followed. Such processes may vary from phage DNA injection to viral gene expression, assembly, or release. To investigate this...
