The protein receptor for cholerabacteriophage phi 149.
Choleraphage phi 149 receptor activity was found in the outer membrane (OM) protein of Vibrio cholerae 154. Receptor protein for phage phi 149 was separated from trypsin-treated OM on a Sephadex G-100 column. Of the three peaks obtained, phage receptor activity was noted only in peak II. SDS-PAGE showed that the Mr of the protein was 35,000. The protein was heat-labile and protease-sensitive. The specificity of this protein as choleraphage phi 149 receptor was investigated by carrying out a protection experiment by anti-protein (peak II) rabbit sera.
