RESUMO

A 43,000 molecular-weight, glucose-inducible, organic acid-repressible protein (OprB) was identified in the outer membrane of Pseudomonas putida. OprB was surface expressed in whole cells, had a high beta-sheet content, and was heat modifiable, as demonstrated by 125I-labeling, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and mobility on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. OprB was extracted from outer membrane preparations by using 2% Lubrol PX with 10 mM EDTA and purified by DEAE-Sephacel ion exchange chromatography following ammonium sulfate precipitation. Reconstitution experiments with black lipid membranes showed that OprB formed small, cation-selective pores which bound glucose (KS = 110 mM) and other carbohydrates. However, the binding site of OprB appeared to be distinct from that of the maltodextrin-specific porin LamB from Escherichia coli.
