Protein composition of Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides outer membrane.

Journal of Bacteriology

Abstract

The outer membrane polypeptide profile of Rhodopseudmonas sphaeroides was characterized. Solubilization of the outer membrane at 75 or 100 degrees C as opposed to room temperature resulted in the dissociation of 75-, 72-, and 68-kilodalton (kdal) polypeptide aggregates into 29-, 26.5-, and 21.5-kdal polypeptides, respectively, and a shared 47-kdal subunit. Similarly, an 88.5-kdal polypeptide dissociates into a 45-kdal monomeric form, and the electrophoretic mobility of a 58.5-kdal polypeptide was altered to 83 kdal. Lysozyme treatment of outer membrane fractions altered the 21.5-kdal polypeptide mobility to 23 kdal. The presence of lipid in both the 47-kdal polypeptide and an 8- to 10-kdal polypeptide was demonstrated by lipid staining and [14C]acetate incorporation. The lipid component of the 47-kdal polypeptide was neither lipopolysaccharide nor phospholipid. The 8- to 10-kdal polypeptide may be the equivalent of the Braun lipoprotein. Outer membrane fractions isolated from R. sphaeroides-specific phage RS1-resistant mutants were deficient in several of the high-molecular-weight aggregates involving the 47-kdal polypeptide.

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure (ASM)

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.

Phage therapy uses bacterial viruses (bacteriophages) to treat bacterial infections and is widely being recognized as an alternative to antibiotics. Here is the latest research.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
