It has been found that actin-specific bacterial protease ECP32 cleaves prokaryotic heat shock protein DnaK, which belongs to the family of heat shock proteins with molecular weight 70 kDa. We propose a new one-step method for DnaK purification using heat treatment. The technique yields ∼1 mg of partially purified DnaK from 25 g of wet bacterial biomass. Polyclonal antibodies against DnaK were obtained. The degree of ECP32 catalyzed proteolysis of partially purified DnaK and that of DnaK in initial cell extracts was compared.
