Homogeneous beta-lactamase (beta-lactam hydrolase, E.C. 3.5.2.6) from Enterobacter cloacae P99, an enzyme that has an important function in antibiotic resistance, was prepared using a single cation-exchange chromatographic step with CM-Sepharose fast-flow. A 6-g amount of the enzyme was isolated from 5 kg of cell paste, with 84% of the enzyme activity in the cell homogenate being recovered by the single cation-exchange step. The specific activity of the beta-lactamase was 587 U/mg protein. The relative molecular mass of the enzyme was determined to be 45 kDa by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate and the isoelectric point was 8.95.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007525 Isoelectric Focusing Electrophoresis in which a pH gradient is established in a gel medium and proteins migrate until they reach the site (or focus) at which the pH is equal to their isoelectric point. Electrofocusing,Focusing, Isoelectric
D002852 Chromatography, Ion Exchange Separation technique in which the stationary phase consists of ion exchange resins. The resins contain loosely held small ions that easily exchange places with other small ions of like charge present in solutions washed over the resins.

D004755 Enterobacteriaceae A family of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that do not form endospores. Its organisms are distributed worldwide with some being saprophytes and others being plant and animal parasites. Many species are of considerable economic importance due to their pathogenic effects on agriculture and livestock. Coliform Bacilli,Enterobacteria,Ewingella,Leclercia,Paracolobactrum,Sodalis
