ABSTRACT The Saccharomyces cerevisiae SBA1 gene was cloned by PCR amplification from yeast genomic DNA following its identification as encoding an ortholog of human p23, an Hsp90 cochaperone. TheSBA1 gene product is constitutively expressed and nonessential, although a disruption mutant grew more slowly than the wild type at both 18 and 37°C. A double deletion of SBA1and STI1, encoding an Hsp90 cochaperone, displayed synthetic growth defects. Affinity isolation of histidine-tagged Sba1p (Sba1His6) after expression in yeast led to coisolation of Hsp90 and the cyclophilin homolog Cpr6. Using an in vitro assembly assay, purified Sba1His6 bound to Hsp90 only in the presence of adenosine 5′-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) or adenyl-imidodiphosphate. Furthermore, interaction between purified Sba1His6 and Hsp90 in yeast extracts was inhibited by the benzoquinoid ansamycins geldanamycin and macbecin. The in vitro assay was also used to identify residues in Hsp90 that are important for complex formation with Sba1His6, and residues in both the N-terminal nucleotide binding domain and C-terminal half were characterized. In vivo analysis of known Hsp90 substrate proteins revealed that Sba1 loss of function had only a mild effect on the activity of the tyrosine kinase v-Src and steroid hormone receptors.

Branhamella Catarrhalis

Intact cells of several bacterial species were tested for their ability to bind human transferrin and lactoferrin by a solid-phase binding assay using horseradish peroxidase conjugated transferrin and lactoferrin. The ability to bind lactoferrin was detected in all isolates of Neisseria and Branhamella catarrhalis but not in isolates of Escherichia coli or Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Transferrin-binding activity was similarly detected in most isolates of Neisseria and Branhamella but not in E. coli or P. aeruginosa. The expression of transferrin- and lactoferrin-binding activity was induced by addition of ethylenediamine di-o-phenylacetic acid and reversed by excess FeCl3, indicating regulation by the level of available iron in the medium. The transferrin receptor was specific for human transferrin and the lactoferrin receptor had a high degree of specificity for human lactoferrin in all species tested. The transferrin- and lactoferrin-binding proteins were identified after affinity isolation using biotinylated human transferrin or lactoferrin and streptavidin–agarose. The lactoferrin-binding protein was identified as a 105-kilodalton protein in all species tested. Affinity isolation with biotinylated transferrin yielded two or more proteins in all species tested. A high molecular mass protein was observed in all isolates, and was of similar size (approximately 98 kilodaltons) in all species of Neisseria but was larger (105 kilodaltons) in B. catarrhalis.Key words: iron, Neisseria, transferrin, lactoferrin, receptor.

Bovine Transferrin

Two strains of Haemophilus parasuis, namely, the type strain (ATCC 19417) and strain E751, were investigated with respect to iron acquisition. Both strains produced iron-repressible outer membrane proteins and could acquire iron from porcine transferrin but not from porcine lactoferrin. Neither strain used bovine transferrin, and human transferrin was used to only a very limited extent, if at all. In all cases, iron acquisition from transferrin required direct contact between the organisms and the protein. An affinity isolation technique based on biotinylated porcine transferrin plus streptavidin-agarose, followed by SDS-PAGE, allowed the isolation and identification of two potential porcine transferrin binding polypeptides (94 and 60 kDa) from total membranes derived from the type strain grown under iron-restricted conditions but only one (96 kDa) from strain E751. Each of these polypeptides was iron repressible and was not isolated when biotinylated human or bovine transferrin was used instead of biotinylated porcine transferrin. It is concluded that both strains acquire transferrin-bound iron by means of siderophore-independent mechanisms and that the isolated polypeptides represent porcine transferrin receptor components.Key words: Haemophilus parasuis, iron, transferrin, receptors.
