摘要

The penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) are a set of enzymes that participate in the terminal stages of bacterial peptidoglycan assembly. As their name implies, these proteins also covalently bind and are inhibited by beta-lactam antibiotics. Although many studies have examined the relative binding affinities of a number of beta-lactam antibiotics, a surprisingly small number of studies have addressed the absolute numbers of each of the PBPs present in the bacterial cell. In the present study, the PBP values initially reported in Escherichia coli almost 20 years ago by B. G. Spratt (Eur. J. Biochem. 72:341-352, 1977) were refined. The individual PBPs from a known number of bacteria radiolabeled with [3H]benzylpenicillin were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The radioactive bands were located, excised, and quantitatively extracted from the gel slices. The radioactivity was measured by scintillation counting, and the absolute disintegrations per minute were calculated. From the specific activity of the labeled penicillin, the absolute disintegrations per minute, and the CFU per milliliter, a determination of the number of each of the PBPs per cell was made. The measurements were performed on multiple samples to place statistical limits on the numbers obtained. The values for the individual PBPs found in E. coli deviated in several ways from the previously reported observations. Of particular significance is the higher number of molecules of PBP 2 and 3 observed, since these PBPs are known to participate in cell morphogenesis. The PBP content in both rich Luria broth medium and M9 minimal medium was determined, with the slower-growing cells in minimal medium possessing fewer of the individual PBPs per cell.

Biochem。72:341-352,1977)在大肠杆菌中最初报道的PBP值进行​​了改进。通过十二烷基硫酸钠-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳分离已知数量的用[3H]苄青霉素进行放射性标记的细菌中的各个PBP。从凝胶切片中定位,切除放射性带并定量提取。通过闪烁计数测量放射性,并计算每分钟的绝对崩解。根据标记的青霉素的比活性,每分钟的绝对崩解和每毫升的CFU,确定每个细胞中每个PBP的数量。对多个样品进行了测量,以对获得的数量进行统计限制。在大肠杆菌中发现的单个PBP值与以前报道的观察结果有几种不同的方式。特别重要的是观察到更多的PBP 2和3分子,因为已知这些PBP参与细胞形态发生。测定富含Luria肉汤培养基和M9基本培养基中的PBP含量,其中基本培养基中生长较慢的细胞每个细胞具有较少的单个PBP。
