A five-step procedure has been developed for purifying Pitton's type 2 plasmid-mediated beta-lactamase (PIT-2, also called SHV-1) from cultures of a hyperproducing variant of an Escherichia coli K12 strain carrying the plasmid p453. Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed a single protein band with a molecular weight of about 27,500. The amino acid composition of the protein and the amino acid sequence of the NH2-terminal region have been determined. PIT-2 enzyme contains 272 amino acid residues with 2 cysteines. Studies of the S-carboxymethylated protein (previously reduced or unreduced) suggest that these two residues are presumably in the form of free sulphydryl groups in the native protein. Conversely, TEM-2 beta-lactamase contains 2 cysteine residues which are in the form of a disulphide bond. Comparison of PIT-2 with other beta-lactamases was made using the difference index (DI) of Metzger et al. The PIT-2 enzyme appeared more closely related to the TEM-type penicillinases (DI of 6.5).

D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
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
