RESUMO
Exposure of whole gonococci to proteinase K resulted in cleavage of protein I (P.I) of the organism in situ. P.I subunits in the P.IB group were cleaved into two membrane-associated fragments, whereas P.IA subunits were cleaved by proteinase K to yield a single membrane-associated fragment slightly smaller in apparent size than the intact P.IA subunit. These data suggest that P.IA and P.IB subunits are quite different in their surface exposures and orientations in the gonococcal outer membrane; P.IB subunits likely have both termini buried in the membrane, whereas P.IA subunits have one of their termini exposed on the surface of the organism.
