  • Title: Immunochemical analysis of membrane vesicles from Escherichia coli.
    Author: Owen P, Kaback HR.
    Journal: Biochemistry; 1979 Apr 17; 18(8):1413-22. PubMed ID: 218620.
    Abstract:
    Membrane vesicles isolated from Escherichia coli ML 308--225 have been analyzed by crossed immunoelectrophoresis, and immunoprecipitates corresponding to the following cellular components have been identified: ATPase (EC 3.6.1,3), two or three NADH dehydrogenases (EC 1.6.99.3), D-lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27), glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.4), dihydro-orotate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.3.1), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.43), polynucleotide phosphorylase (EC 2.3.7.8), beta-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23), lipopolysaccharide, and Braun's lipoprotein. The cellular origin of many of the vesicle immunogens is determined, and Braun's lipoprotein is used as a marker to quantitate the extent of outer membrane contamination (less than 3%). Membrane antigens are also characterized with regard to their amphiphilic or hydrophilic properties by charge-shift crossed immunoelectrophoresis. Furthermore, the following immunogens cross-react with components in membrane vesicles prepared from Salmonella typhimurium: one of the three NADH dehydrogenases, ATPase, polynucleotide phosphorylase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, Braun's lipoprotein, and three unidentified antigens. In the accompanying paper [Owen, P., & Kaback, H. R. (1979) Biochemistry 18 (following paper in this issue)] quantitative immunoadsorption is utilized to establish the topology of the vesicles with respect to the distribution of antigens on the inner and outer faces of the membrane.
