The major outer membrane proteins from 10 gonococcal strains were examined after 125I-labeling of the proteins as single bands resolved by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate. These 125I-proteins were then treated with either trypsin or alpha-chymotrypsin, and the resultant 125I-peptides were visualized by autoradiography after two-dimensional electrophoretic and chromatographic separation on thin-layer cellulose sheets. Several 125I-peptides were present in all the major outer membrane proteins examined. The presence and absence of additional 125I-peptides segregated the major proteins into two pattern groups. One group consisted of major outer membranes with molecular weights of 34,000 or 33,000; major proteins with molecular weights of 32,000 constituted the other group. Two beta-lactamase-producing gonococcal isolates were examined. Their major outer membrane proteins were identical in apparent molecular weights and alpha-chymotryptic 125I-peptide fingerprints; these proteins contained 125I-peptides not found in other gonococcal major proteins. No 125I-peptide differences were found among the major outer membrane proteins of strain F62 gonococci that exhibited differences in piliation and/or colony opacity characteristics.

Gonococcal outer-membrane protein I (PI) and PIII were isolated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis from reduced and unreduced whole-cell and outer-membrane lysates of four strains of nonpiliated (P-), transparent (O-) Neisseria gonorrhoeae. These proteins were radioiodinated and digested with alpha-chymotrypsin. The resultant 125I-peptides were then resolved by high-voltage thin-layer electrophoresis, followed by ascending thin-layer chromatography, and visualized by autoradiography. Results corroborated previous observations regarding the structural relationships of PIs having different apparent subunit molecular weights. All PIIIs had very similar apparent primary structures, regardless of the strain from which they were isolated, the source (i.e., whole cells or outer membranes), or the reduction state of the sodium dodecyl sulfate lysates. By the techniques used, it appeared that PIII is structurally similar in all of the gonococcal strains studied, even though each strain had structurally unique PIs.
