Many proteins and enzymes involved in denitrification in haloarchaea can be inferred to be located between the cytoplasmic membrane and the S-layer, based on the presence of a Tat signal sequence and the orientation of the active site that some of these enzymes have. The membrane fraction of the haloarchaeon (R-4), grown under anaerobic conditions in the presence of nitrate, was solubilized to identify the respiratory proteins associated or anchored to it. Using Triton X-100, CHAPS, and n-Octyl-β-d-glucopyranoside at different concentrations we found the best conditions for isolating membrane proteins in micelles, in which enzymatic activity and stability were maintained. Then, they were subjected to purification using two chromatographic steps followed by the analysis of the eluents by NANO-ESI Chip-HPLC-MS/MS. The results showed that the four main enzymes of denitrification (nitrate, nitrite, nitric oxide, and nitrous oxide reductases) in were identified and they were co-purified thanks to the micelles made with Triton X-100 (20% w/v for membrane solubilisation and 0.2% w/v in the buffers used during purification). In addition, several accessory proteins involved in electron transfer processes during anaerobic respiration as well as proteins supporting ATP synthesis, redox balancing and oxygen sensing were detected. This is the first characterization of anaerobic membrane proteome of haloarchaea under denitrifying conditions using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. It provides new information for a better understanding of the anaerobic respiration in haloarchaea.
基于某些酶存在Tat信号序列以及活性位点的方向,可以推断许多参与嗜盐古菌反硝化作用的蛋白质和酶位于细胞质膜和S层之间。在硝酸盐存在的厌氧条件下生长的嗜盐古菌(R-4)的膜部分被溶解,以鉴定与其相关或锚定的呼吸蛋白。使用不同浓度的Triton X-100、CHAPS和正辛基-β-D-葡萄糖苷,我们找到了在胶束中分离膜蛋白的最佳条件,其中酶活性和稳定性得以维持。然后,通过两步色谱法对其进行纯化,随后通过NANO-ESI Chip-HPLC-MS/MS对洗脱液进行分析。结果表明,鉴定出了反硝化作用的四种主要酶(硝酸盐、亚硝酸盐、一氧化氮和一氧化二氮还原酶),并且由于用Triton X-100制成的胶束(用于膜溶解的浓度为20% w/v,纯化过程中使用的缓冲液中的浓度为0.2% w/v),它们得以共同纯化。此外,还检测到了厌氧呼吸过程中参与电子传递过程的几种辅助蛋白以及支持ATP合成、氧化还原平衡和氧感应的蛋白质。这是首次使用液相色谱-质谱法对嗜盐古菌在反硝化条件下的厌氧膜蛋白质组进行表征。它为更好地理解嗜盐古菌的厌氧呼吸提供了新信息。
