Brosche M, Kalbina I, Arnfelt M, Benito G, Karlsson BG, Strid A: Occurrence, overexpression and partial purification of the protein (majastridin) corresponding to the URF6 gene of the Rhodobacter blasticus atp operon. Eur J Biochem. 1998 Jul 1;255(1):87-92.
Antibodies were produced against two antigenic peptides of a protein, which was named majastridin, corresponding to the URF6 gene of the Rhodobacter blasticus atp operon [Tybulewicz, V. L. J., Falk, G. & Walker, J. E. (1984) J. Mol. Biol. 179, 185-214]. A protein band of the expected size is labelled by immunoblotting in Western blots containing the cytosolic fractions from Rb. blasticus and Paracoccus denitrificans but not from Escherichia coli or Rhodospirillum rubrum. Although the protein is present during the entire life cycle of a Rb. blasticus culture, it is most abundant early during the stationary phase. Plasmid constructs of the URF6 gene for overexpression in E. coli were made. These constructs were designed to obtain proteins both with and without His-tagging. In both cases, a protein product was visible in induced cells. The His-tagged protein was purified to 85% on a Ni column and, further, to at least 95% by anion-exchange chromatography. By N-terminal sequencing of the His-tagged protein, its identity was confirmed. |
