Pal-Like Protein Present in Chromatium vinosum
نویسندگان
چکیده
PAL is a peptidoglycan-associated lipoprotein found in the cell membranes of many Gramnegative bacteria. The presence of PAL has been demonstrated in Escherichia coli and many bacteria. In this paper, we show the presence of a gene coding for a PAL-like protein in C. vinosum, a photosynthetic bacteria and the partial sequence of the PAL gene.

High degree of similarity between Chromatium vinosum and Chromatium minutissimum as revealed by riboprinting.
The riboprinting technique (restriction fragment length polymorphism [RFLP] analysis of PCR-amplified ribosomal DNA) was used to study five strains representing three species of the genus Chromatium. An RFLP analysis following digestion of the amplified small-subunit ribosomal DNA with 25 restriction enzymes revealed that the patterns obtained for all strains of Chromatium vinosum were identica...

Resonance Raman and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy have been utilized to identify histidine as an axial heme ligand in a high spin, heme c-containing protein isolated from the photosynthetic purple sulfur bacterium Chromatium vinosum. Resonance Raman spectroscopy has also been used to characterize the CO adduct of the C. vinosum hemoprotein. Resonance Raman spectra of the heme sit...

Two sets of genes for the large and small subunits of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) were detected in the photosynthetic purple sulfur bacterium Chromatium vinosum by hybridization analysis with RuBisCO gene probes, cloned by using the lambda Fix vector, and designated rbcL-rbcS and rbcA-rbcB. rbcL and rbcA encode the large subunits, and rbcS and rbcB encode the small...
متن کاملSurface structure of Chromatium okenii and Chromatium weissei.
The outermost structured layer of both Chromatium weissei and C. okenii is composed of a hexagonal array of hollow cone-shaped subunits approximately 25 nm in length and 13 nm in diameter.
متن کاملIsolation and partial characterization of the major outer membrane protein of Chromatium vinosum.
The 42,000 major outer membrane protein of Chromatium vinosum was purified by a combination on ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration, and isoelectric focusing. Upon isoelectric focusing, the final material produced four major hands. Three of the four bands were isolated and analyzed for similarity or differences. Protease peptide maps and cyanogen bromide maps of the three isoelectric spe...
