Abstract
Blood type B-specific Streptomyces sp. 27S5 hemagglutinin (SHA) was discovered and characterized in the 1970s. Although strain 27S5 has been lost, the purified SHA protein survived intact under frozen conditions and retained its activity. Using modern techniques, here we further characterized SHA. Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance MS analysis determined the average molecular mass of SHA as 13,314.67 Da. MS of digested SHA peptides, Streptomyces genomic database matching, and N-terminal sequencing solved the 131-residue amino acid sequence of SHA. We found that SHA is homologous to N-terminally truncated hypothetical proteins encoded by the genomes of Streptomyces lavendulae, Streptomyces sp. Mg1, and others. The gene of the closest homologue in S. lavendulae, a putative polysaccharide deacetylase (PDSL), encodes 68 additional N-terminal amino acids, and its C terminus perfectly matched the SHA sequence, except for a single Ala-to-Glu amino acid difference. We expressed recombinant SHA(PDSL-A108E) (rSHA) as an enzymatically cleavable fusion protein in Escherichia coli, and glycan microarray analyses indicated that refolded rSHA exhibits the blood type B- and l-rhamnose-specific characteristics of authentic SHA, confirmin...Continue Reading
