Four proteins, PomA, PomB, MotX, and MotY, appear to be involved in force generation of the sodium-driven polar flagella of Vibrio alginolyticus. Among these, PomA and PomB seem to be associated and to form a sodium channel. By using antipeptide antibodies against PomA or PomB, we carried out immunoprecipitation to verify whether these proteins form a complex and examined the in vivo stabilities of PomA and PomB. As a result, we could demonstrate that PomA and PomB functionally interact with each other.
四种蛋白质,即PomA、PomB、MotX和MotY,似乎参与了溶藻弧菌钠驱动极鞭毛的力产生过程。其中,PomA和PomB似乎相互关联并形成一个钠通道。通过使用针对PomA或PomB的抗肽抗体,我们进行了免疫沉淀,以验证这些蛋白质是否形成复合物,并检测了PomA和PomB在体内的稳定性。结果,我们能够证明PomA和PomB在功能上相互作用。
