摘要
A HU-like protein (HBI) of Bifidobacterium longum was purified and characterized. HBI is heat-stable and acid-resistant, and has a molecular weight of about 9.1 kDa as estimated by its mobility on electrophoresis. HBI is intermediate in basicity (pI 9.8) between the HU-1 and HU-2 proteins of Escherichia coli, and is dissociated from a calf thymus DNA-cellulose column at 300-400 mM NaCl. Its amino acid composition shows many similarities with that of E coli HU. The NH2-terminal amino acid sequence of HBl also shows significant similarities to the consensus sequence deduced from the sequences of eleven HU-like proteins from prokaryotic sources. Chemical crosslinking analysis indicated that the HBI protein predominantly forms a homotypic dimer. © 1990.
