Purification and partial characterization of a soluble hemagglutinin from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis.
A soluble hemagglutinin (HA) produced by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis strain Inoue, serotype 5b, was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration on Sepharose CL-6B and high performance liquid chromatography on a DEAE-5PW anion-exchange column. The purified HA was a 14.5 kDa protein with an isoelectric point of 4.5. Amino acid analysis indicated that the HA consisted of 133 residues, corresponding to the molecular weight of 14,100. The amino acid sequence of N-terminal 38 amino acid residues showed no homology with that of several fimbrial proteins from Escherichia coli.
