Bacterial Histidine Kinases: Overexpression, Purification, and Inhibitor Screen

Abstract: Bacterial histidine kinases are promising targets for new antimicrobial agents. In antibacterial therapy such agents could inhibit bacterial growth by targeting essential two-component regulatory systems or resensitize bacteria to known antibiotics by blocking stress responses like the cell wall stress response. However, (1) activity assays using the truncated phosphorylation domains have been shown to produce artifacts and (2) the purification of the full-length histidine kinases is complicated. Here, we desc… Show more

“…The phosphorylation of VraR and the VraR(M54T) variant with the cognate kinase VraS was performed essentially as described in Gajdiss et al ( 51 ). Afterward, the phosphorylation was evaluated by 12.5% Phos-Tag (Wako Chemicals, Neuss, Germany) SDS-PAGE ( 52 ).…”

“…A detailed protocol used for overexpression and purification has been described previously [33]. Briefly, E. coli strains containing the expression plasmids were incubated in LB broth supplemented with 100 mg/L ampicillin and 50 mg/L kanamycin at 37 • C in a shaking water bath until exponential growth phase.…”

“…Phosphorylation assays of the liposomes containing the reconstituted proteins were performed as previously described [33]. Proteoliposomes were mixed with 1 µCi/µL [γ 32 P]-ATP in phosphorylation buffer (50 mM HEPES, 500 mM KCl, 25 mM MgCl 2 , 0.5 mM DTT, 3.5% (v/v) glycerol, pH 8) and incubated at 15 • C for 30 min.…”

“…Consequently, Phos‐tag SDS‐PAGE permits the absolute quantification of phosphorylated and nonphosphorylated forms in purified single protein molecules. This electrophoretic approach has been used by many researchers in the field of bacteriology . In the fluorometric approach, a tetramethylrhodamine‐labeled Phos‐tag derivative has recently been used as a stain for SDS‐PAGE gels to permit the selective detection of certain phosphoproteins .…”
