Abstract:
:The synthesis and export of aerolysin, an extracellular protein toxin released by the gram-negative bacterium Aeromonas hydrophila, was studied by pulse-labeling with [35S]methionine. The toxin was synthesized as a higher-molecular-weight precursor. This was processed cotranslationally, resulting in the appearance within the cell of the mature protein, which was then exported to the supernatant. Precursor aerolysin accumulated in cells incubated in the presence of carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone, a substance which also inhibited the export of mature aerolysin from the cell. The entrapped mature toxin could not be shocked from the cells, although it could be digested by protease applied to shocked cells. The toxin was processed and translocated across the inner membrane of pleiotropic export mutants and accumulated in the periplasm. The results indicate that more than one step is required for the export of the protein and that aerolysin does not cross the inner and outer membranes simultaneously.
