چکیده انگلیسی
Mercury resistance is the most widespread of all anti-microbial resistance occurring in a wide variety of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial genera. The systems that are most studied and best understood are those encoded in mercury resistance (Mer) operons in Gram-negative bacteria. The mercury detoxification functions by the importation of highly toxic Hg2+ into cytoplasm and enzymic reduction to volatile Hg0. MerT is a small (13 kDa) inner membrane protein involved in mercuric ion transport system. We have overexpressed recombinant 6His-tagged MerT from Escherichia coli in a native folded form and purified it to homogeneity in n-dodecyl-β-d-maltopyranoside (DDM) by immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC). Circular dichroism showed that the protein is largely α-helical. Size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) in a variety of detergents showed that the protein exists in a multiple of oligomeric states as also confirmed by SEC coupled with multiple-angle light scattering.
