The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of Escherichia coli B is converted by colicin E2 to products soluble in cold trichloroacetic acid; we showed previously that this DNA degradation (hereafter termed solubilization) is subject to inhibition by infection with phage T4 and that at least two modes of inhibition can be differentiated on the basis of their sensitivity to chloramphenicol (CM). This repor...

physicochemical properties of surimi and kamaboko obtained of solubility in acid, alkaline and conventional methods were compared. the results indicated that the highest protein recovery was related to solubility in acid, alkaline and conventional methods, respectively. the highest removal of lipid and myoglobin was observed by solubility in alkali. excretion of total pigment and sulfhydryl gro...

background: the over-expression of recombinant proteins in large amount is important for production of therapeutic proteins and structural study. there are several systems for expression of recombinant proteins. one of the most relevant expression systems is escherichia coli (e. coli). although this organism has many advantages, most of recombinant proteins expressed in e. coli hosts form inclu...

Microvilli isolated from intestinal epithelial cells contain a cytoskeletal Mr 110,000 polypeptide complexed with calmodulin (110K-CM) that is believed to link the microfilament core bundle laterally to the plasma membrane. Previous work has shown that physiological levels of ATP can partially solubilize the 110K-CM complex from isolated microvillus cytoskeletons or isolated microvilli. However...

Escherichia coli DsbB is a transmembrane enzyme that catalyzes the reoxidation of the periplasmic oxidase DsbA by ubiquinone. Here, we sought to convert membrane-bound DsbB into a water-soluble biocatalyst by leveraging a previously described method for in vivo solubilization of integral membrane proteins (IMPs). When solubilized DsbB variants were coexpressed with an export-defective copy of D...

The potential use of liposomes as a delivery system is still limited by the poor understanding of their interaction mechanisms with biological media. In the present work, interaction between bovine albumin (BA) and liposomes was studied using phase transition and dielectric measurements as well as solubilization process using non-ionic detergent octylglucoside (OG). After liposomes were incubat...

The study of proteomes provides new insights into stimulus-specific responses of protein synthesis and turnover, and the role of post-translational modifications at the systems level. Due to the diverse chemical nature of proteins and shortcomings in the analytical techniques used in their study, only a partial display of the proteome is achieved in any study, and this holds particularly true f...

The use of phosphate solubilizing bacteria as inoculants simultaneously increases P uptake by the plant and crop yield. Strains from the genera Pseudomonas, Bacillus and Rhizobium are among the most powerful phosphate solubilizers. The principal mechanism for mineral phosphate solubilization is the production of organic acids, and acid phosphatases play a major role in the mineralization of org...
