Isolation and characteristics of the proteins of the outer membrane of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis

Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

The dissociation of the protein-peptidoglycan (PPG) complex from the outer membrane ofYersinia pseudotuberculosis has given two protein fractions consisting predominantly of two polypeptides. A decrease in the electrophoretic mobility of the high-molecular-weight polypeptide on treatment with detergent and on heating is connected with conformational transitions: β form → α-helix. The polypeptides were obtained in the individual state by gel filtration on Bio-Gel. They are immunogenic for rabbits and exhibit antigenic relationship in the double immunodiffusion reaction in agar.
