Active and inactive forms of hemolysin (HlyA) from Escherichia coli.
Biological chemistry Hoppe-Seyler 1988;
369(
1):.
The HlyA protein (Mr 110 kDa) which is the gene product of the hlyA gene encoded by the hemolysin determinant of Escherichia coli (Goebel, W. & Hedgpeth, J. (1982) J. Bacteriol. 151, 1290-1298) was observed to accumulate in the culture supernatant (in the presence of the three other Hly proteins HlyC, B and D) throughout the active growth cycle. However, the amount of extracellular HlyA protein did not correlate with the external hemolytic activity, which declined when the cells entered the stationary phase. External hemolytic activity was highly sensitive to phospholipase C and to ultrasonication. The size of the HlyA protein on SDS-PAGE was not changed by these treatments although the hemolytic activity was entirely abolished. On a polyacrylamide gel containing 2M urea but only 0.1% SDS hemolytically active HlyA migrated slightly ahead of the inactive HlyA suggesting that HlyA is more negatively charged than HlyA. Active hemolysin from unconcentrated hemolytic supernatants migrated on Sephacryl S-400 and on glycerol gradients as large complexes. Analysis of the hemolytically active fractions on SDS-PAGE yielded in both cases only HlyA (110 kDA) as major protein. An internal hemolytic activity appeared in most Escherichia coli K-12 strains in the stationary phase which was independent of the presence of HlyA or any other Hly gene product. This hemolytic activity which reached in some strains about 10% of the level determined by the hly genes was sensitive to proteinase K and disappeared upon shift of the cells to the logarithmic phase.
