Expression, purification, and characterization of the recombinant putative periplasmic hemin-binding protein (HutB) of Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida

Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2009 May;73(5):1180-3. doi: 10.1271/bbb.80732. Epub 2009 May 7.

Abstract

HutB, the periplasmic hemin binding protein of Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida, was produced as a recombinant protein. UV-Vis spectrophotometrical analysis showed absorption spectral changes in hemin upon mixing it with the recombinant protein, indicating complex formation. Spectrophotometric titration of HutB with hemin showed saturation at a heme/HutB ratio of 1:1 and a binding affinity (K(d)) of 10 microM.
