The colicin A pore-forming domain (pfColA) was fused to a bacterial signal peptide (sp-pfColA). This was inserted into the Escherichia coli inner membrane in functional form and could be coimmunoprecipitated with epitope-tagged immunity protein (EpCai). We constructed a series of fusion proteins in which various numbers of sp-pfColA alpha-helices were fused to alkaline phosphatase (AP). We showed that a fusion protein made up of the hydrophobic alpha-helices 8 and 9 of sp-pfColA fused to AP was specifically coimmunoprecipitated with EpCai produced in the same cells. This is the first biochemical evidence that Cai recognizes and interacts with the colicin A hydrophobic helical hairpin.
将大肠杆菌素A成孔结构域(pfColA)与细菌信号肽(sp-pfColA)融合。它以功能形式插入大肠杆菌内膜,并且可以与表位标签免疫蛋白(EpCai)进行共免疫沉淀。我们构建了一系列融合蛋白,其中将不同数量的sp-pfColAα螺旋与碱性磷酸酶(AP)融合。我们发现,由与AP融合的sp-pfColA的疏水α螺旋8和9组成的融合蛋白与同一细胞中产生的EpCai发生特异性共免疫沉淀。这是关于Cai识别并与大肠杆菌素A疏水螺旋发夹相互作用的首个生化证据。
