Abstract
A heat-stable enterotoxin produced by a human strain of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli was extensively purified by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The minimum effective dose of the purified toxin to cause fluid accumulation in suckling mice was 2.5 ng. The amino acid sequence of the purified toxin was determined by Edman degradation and a combination of fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and carboxypeptidase digestion to be Asn-Ser-Ser-Asn-Tyr-Cys-Cys-Glu-Leu-Cys-Cys-Asn-Pro-Ala-Cys-Thr-Gly-Cys-Tyr. This sequence was identical to that deduced from the nucleotide sequence encoding a human heat-stable enterotoxin, reported by Moseley et al., except for the C-terminal Tyr residue.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
