Li. Fedoreyeva et Vi. Gorbach, INTERACTION OF OUTER-MEMBRANE PROTEIN FRO M YERSINIA-PSEUDOTUBERCULOSIS WITH LIPID-A AND ITS SYNTHETIC ANALOGS, Bioorganiceskaa himia, 19(10), 1993, pp. 933-940
Interaction of the major outer membrane protein form Yersinia pseudotu
berculosis with lipid A was investigated by intrinsic fluorescence, CD
spectroscopy and CsCl gradient centrifugation methods. The protein wa
s shown to have two independent binding sites with an association cons
tant 6,1.10(4) M-1. The interaction depends on both the type of the gl
ycoside bond and hydrophylic - hydrophobic balance of the glycolipid m
olecule.
