title: A peptidoglycan binding domain in the porin-associated protein (PAP) of Rhodospirillum rubrum FR1.
abstract: The porin-associated protein of Rhodospirillum rubrum FR1 was found to contain a peptidoglycan binding motif. A partial fragment of 179 amino acids, obtained by cleavage of PAP with trypsin, Asp-N protease, and CNBr, was sequenced. Substantial sequence homology was found of the C-terminal part (residues 126-179) of porin-associated protein with OmpA, the peptidoglycan-associated lipoprotein of several bacteria, protein F of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and PIII of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the latter being also a porin-associated protein. The 179 amino acid fragment comprised about 67% of the mass spectrometrically determined total mass of PAP of 27850 Da.
