The second aconitase (AcnB) of Escherichia coli

The second aconitase (AcnB) of Escherichia coli was partially purified from an acnA::kanR mutant lacking AcnA, and the corresponding polypeptide identified by activity staining and weak cross-reactivity with AcnA antiserum. The acnB gene was located at 2 center dot 85 min (131 center dot 6 kb) in a region of the chromosome previously assigned to two unidentified ORFs. Aconitase specific activities were amplified up to fivefold by infection with lambdaacnB phages from the Kohara lambda-E. coli gene library, and up to 120-fold (50% of soluble protein) by inducing transformants containing a plasmid (pGS783) in which the acnB coding region is expressed from a regulated T7 promoter. The AcnB protein was purified to > or = 98% homogeneity from a genetically enriched source (JRG3171) and shown to be a monomeric protein of Mr 100 000 (SDS-PAGE) and 105 000 (gel filtration analysis) compared with Mr 93 500 predicted from the nucleotide sequence. The sequence identity between AcnA and AcnB is only 17% and the domain organization of AcnA and related proteins (1-2-3-linker-4) is rearranged in AcnB (4-1-2-3).
