This antiserum is able to precipitate 100% of the ubiquinol-1 oxidase activity in solubilized membranes from an E. coli strain in which cytochrome o is the only terminal oxidase. Cytochrome o was analyzed and quantitated using CIE, RIE, and SDS-PAGE. Analysis of SDS-PAGE shows that cytochrome o is composed of four subunits of approximate equimolar stoichiometry with molecular weights of 51,000, 28,500, 18,000 and 12,700. The low temperature (77(DEGREES)K) reduced-minus-oxidized spectrum of the immunoprecipitate shows two peaks at 555 nm and 562 nm, indicating b-type cytochromes. Both appear to bind CO. Preliminary results indicate that the biosynthesis of cytochrome o is repressed when cytochrome d is induced by lowering the dissolved oxygen concentration during cell growth. It was shown that cytochrome b(,556) and cytochrome o are not present in a constant ratio in the membrane.","Finally, a rapid, sensitive, and quantitative radioimmunoassay for specific translation products was developed using E. coli cells grown in 96-well microtiter plates.","Made available in DSpace on 2014-12-15T23:43:43Z (GMT).
