degP-deficient strains of Escherichia coli grown in M-9 medium supplemented with ZnCl2 expressed the recombinant S1 subunit of pertussis toxin (rS1) in a form electrophoretically identical to the authentic S1 subunit. Subcellular fractionation showed that the full-length form of rS1 was membrane associated, while proteolytic fragments of rS1 were present in the periplasm. rS1 was extracted from outer membrane preparations with 8 M urea and purified by gel filtration chromatography. Purified rS1 ADP-ribosylated transducin at a similar molar efficiency relative to authentic pertussis toxin and, when associated with the native B oligomer of pertussis toxin, elicited Chinese hamster ovary cell clustering.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
D015032 Zinc A metallic element of atomic number 30 and atomic weight 65.38. It is a necessary trace element in the diet, forming an essential part of many enzymes, and playing an important role in protein synthesis and in cell division. Zinc deficiency is associated with ANEMIA, short stature, HYPOGONADISM, impaired WOUND HEALING, and geophagia. It is known by the symbol Zn.
