The spike H protein of bacteriophage phi X174 was prepared as a hexa histidine-tagged fusion (HisH). On enzyme-linked plate assaying, HisH was found to bind specifically to the lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) of phi X174-sensitive strains, Escherichia coli C and Salmonella typhimurium Ra chemotype, having the complete oligosaccharide sequence of the R-core on the LPSs, In sharp contrast, HisH bound weakly to the LPSs of phi X174-insensitive strains, i.e. E. coli F583 (Rd(2)) lacking some terminal saccharides and E. coli O111:B4 (smooth strain) having additional O-repeats on the R-core, The fluorescence spectra of HisH changed dose-dependently in the case of the LPS of E. coli C, the intensity increasing and the emission peak shifting to the shorter wavelength side, which was attributable to the hydrophobic interaction of HisH with the LPS, The binding equilibrium was analyzed by fluorometric titration to determine the dissociation constant K-d, 7.02 +/- 0.37 mu M, and the Gibbs free energy change Delta G(0), -29.1 kJ mol(-1) (at 22 degrees C, pH 7.4), Based on the temperature dependence of K-d in a van't Hoff plot, the standard enthalpy change Delta H-0 and the entropy change Delta S-0 were calculated to be +23.7 kJ mol(-1) and 179 J mol(-1) K-1 at 22 degrees C, respectively, and this binding was thereby concluded to be an entropy-driven reaction.
