The butanol-soluble proteins of Klebsiella aerogenes.
Membranes of Klebsiella aerogenes were extracted with acid butanol at pH 4.2 and the solubilized proteins were fractionated by precipitation at 0 degrees C and -20 degrees C. The -20 degrees C precipitate was examined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulphate. Several enzyme activities associated with polysaccharide biosynthesis have been identified in the crude -20 degrees C precipitate and an attempt was made to separate the enzymes from other protein. The role of certain of these enzymes in a control mechanism for polysaccharide synthesis in K. aerogenes has been postulated.
