pubmed:abstractText |
Recombinant Treponema pallidum surface antigen 4D isolated from Escherichia coli formed a protease-resistant ordered ring structure composed of 19,000-dalton subunits. On gradient sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the higher oligomers of recombinant 4D migrated with molecular masses that were nearly multiples of the 190,000-dalton basic ordered ring. Reduction at room temperature with 2-mercaptoethanol converted the 190,000-dalton ordered ring and the higher oligomers to a 160,000-dalton form and the dissociated monomer. A 190,000-dalton form of 4D was identified in sodium dodecyl sulfate-solubilized T. pallidum after reduction at room temperature. Disulfide bonds stabilized both native and recombinant 4D oligomers against dissociation by heating in detergent without a reducing agent. Electron microscopy of recombinant 4D revealed that the characteristic ordered ring structure was maintained after reduction. Reduction of 4D under conditions that preserved the ordered ring structure did not affect the resistance of the molecule to digestion with proteinase K. The properties of 4D suggest that it may fulfill an important structural role in the T. pallidum outer membrane.
