Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The Mycoplasma phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphotransferase system consists of three components: a membrane-bound enzyme II, a soluble phosphocarrier protein (HPr), and a soluble enzyme I. The soluble enzyme I was purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation; Bio-Gel P-10 gel filtration; acid precipitation; diethylaminoethyl-Bio-Gel A; and Bio-Gel HTP column chromatography. The enzyme I was shown to be homogeneous by electrophoresis in a pH 8.9 non-sodium dodecyl sulfate gel and by isoelectric focusing. Whereas the protein moved as a single component in both the non-sodium dodecyl sulfate gel and isoelectric focusing, on sodium dodecyl sulfate gels, it moved as three subcomponents. The molecular weights of the three subunits, alpha, beta, and gamma, were 44,500, 62,000 and 64,500, respectively. The holoprotein moved as a single component, in the region of 220,000 daltons, in a Bio-Gel A 0.5-agarose column. The molar ratio of subunits was estimated to be 2alpha:1beta:1gamma. The elution characteristics on a diethylaminoethyl column at pH 7.4 and 6.8, acid precipitation data, and amino acid composition indicated that the protein is acidic. Isoelectric focusing occurred at pH 4.8. N-terminal amino acids determined by the dansyl chloride method indicated that glycine, alanine, and tyrosine are N-terminal amino acids of the three subunits. Although the protein was stable for at least 14 months at -20 degrees C, it was irreversibly inactivated by the thiol reagent N-ethyl-maleimide.
