Popis: The localization of hydrogenase protein in Desulfovibrio gigas cells grown either in lactate-sulfate or hydrogen-sulfate media, has been investigated by subcellular fractionation with immunoblotting and by electron microscopic immunocytochemistry. Subcellular fractionation experiments suggest that no integral membrane-bound hydrogenase is present in D. gigas. About 40% of the hydrogenase activity could be extracted by treatment of D. gigas cells with Tris-EDTA buffer. The rest of the soluble hydrogenase activity (50%) was found in the soluble fraction which was obtained after disruption of Tris-EDTA extracted cells and high speed centrifugation. Both soluble hydrogenase fractions purified to homogeneity showed identical molecular properties including the N-terminal aminoacid sequences of their large and small subunits. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the proteins of the subcellular fractions revealed a single band of hydrogenase activity exhibiting the same mobility as purified D. gigas hydrogenase. Western blotting carried out on these subcellular fractions revealed crossreactivity with the antibodies raised against (NiFe) hydrogenase. The lack of crossreactivity with antibodies against (FE) or (NiFeSe) hydrogenases, indicated that only (NiFe) type hydrogenase is present in D. gigas.
