A cDNA encoding the precursor for the 18-kDa protein of PSII of spinach was expressed in Escherichia coli. When the cell lysate was incubated at 7 degrees C, the precursor was degraded by proteases of E. coli to a polypeptide of 18 kDa (P18) that consisted of the mature protein moiety plus the last four residues of the transit peptide. P18 was able to reconstitute the water-oxidizing complex of NaCl-treated PSII membranes supplemented with the 23-kDa protein. Moreover, P18 was cleaved by the prolyl endoproteinase of spinach specifically at the Pro-12-Leu-13 bond, as was the authentic 18-kDa protein. These properties of P18 indicate that the present expression system is potentially useful for studies of the substrate specificity of the endoproteinase, as well as of the structure-function relationships of the 18-kDa protein.

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

D016415 Sequence Alignment The arrangement of two or more amino acid or base sequences from an organism or organisms in such a way as to align areas of the sequences sharing common properties. The degree of relatedness or homology between the sequences is predicted computationally or statistically based on weights assigned to the elements aligned between the sequences. This in turn can serve as a potential indicator of the genetic relatedness between the organisms.
