| Method |
His10-OmpR—His10-OmpR, purified as described previously,
serves as a substrate for both kinase and phosphatase activities
of EnvZ, similar to the wild-type OmpR protein (33). After
His10-OmpR and EnvZc were mixed in the binding assay, both
the EnvZ/His10-OmpR complex and free His10-OmpR were isolated
from the mixture with Ni-NTA-agarose. The proteins
bound to Ni-NTA-agarose were eluted and analyzed by SDSPAGE.
The gels were stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue,
and the densities of the EnvZ and His10-OmpR bands were
measured with a densitometer. The densities of EnvZ bands
were normalized the relative density of EnvZc was 91% that of
His10-OmpR when equimolar amounts of EnvZc and His10-OmpR were subjected to SDS-PAGE and stained with Coomassie
Brilliant Blue. Also note that the densities of EnvZc and
OmpR stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue are linear in a
range from 150 to 4800 ng (data not shown). The densities of
the EnvZc and OmpR bands in the SDS-PAGE gel for the
binding assay were within this range. Because OmpR molecules bind to EnvZc monomers stoichiometrically in a 1:1 ratio (2 OmpR molecules/1 EnvZc dimer), the percentage of the
His10-OmpR bound to EnvZc can be estimated from the ratio of
densities of EnvZc to His10-OmpR in the Coomassie Brilliant Blue-stained SDS-PAGE gel. |
| Comments |
The apparent Kd value of EnvZc and His10-OmpR interaction
was 1.20±0.17µM under the conditions used. Assuming the
cell volume is 1µM^3 (37), the cellular concentrations of
OmpR and EnvZ were calculated to be 6 and 0.18µM, respectively.
Therefore on the basis of the Kd value thus obtained,
~85% of EnvZ molecules in a cell are estimated to be occupied
with OmpR. Calculation: the disscoiation constant of the reaction EnvZ/OmpR?EnvZ+OmpR is kd= ([EnvZ]×[OmpR])/[EnvZ/OmpR]. Using values above first to find [EnvZ/OmpR], the following calculation can be made: [EnvZ/OmpR]/([EnvZ/OmpR]+[EnvZ])=83.333%. See BNID 105109,105110 |
