The normal function of equine lysozyme (EL) is the hydrolysis of peptidoglycan residues of bacterial cell walls. EL is closely related to α-lactalbumins with respect to sequence and structure and further possesses the calcium binding site of α-lactalbumins. Recently, EL multimeric complexes with oleic acids (ELOAs) were shown to possess tinctorial and morphological properties, similar to amyloidal aggregates, and to be cytotoxic. ELOA's interactions with phospholipid membranes appear to be central to its biological action, similar to human α-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells. Here, we describe the interaction of ELOA with phospholipid membranes. Confocal scanning laser microscopy shows that ELOA, but not native EL, accumulates on the surface of giant unilamellar vesicles, without inducing significant membrane permeability. Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation data indicated an essentially non-disruptive binding of ELOA to supported lipid bilayers, leading to formation of highly dissipative and “soft” lipid membrane; at higher concentrations of ELOA, the lipid membrane desorbs from the surface probably as bilayer sheets of vesicles. This membrane rearrangement occurred to a similar extent when free oleic acid (OA) was added, but not when free OA was removed from ELOA by prior incubation with bovine serum albumin, emphasizing the role of OA in this process. NMR data indicated an equilibrium between free and bound OA, which shifts towards free OA as ELOA is progressively diluted, indicating that OA is relatively loosely bound. Activity measurements together with fluorescence spectroscopy and circular dichroism suggested a conversion of ELOA towards a more native-like state on interaction with lipid membranes, although complete refolding was not observed. Altogether, these results suggest that ELOA may act as an OA carrier and facilitate OA transfer to the membrane. ELOA's properties illustrate that protein folding variants may possess specific functional properties distinct from the native protein.  相似文献

To achieve specific cross-linking between the active sites of the non-identical subunits tryptophan synthase from E. coli was modified by a novel method. After reaction with bifunctional reagents of the isolated subunits at their active sites, the tetrameric complex was formed and the free ends of the reagent molecules reacted with each other forming a covalent bridge between the subunits. The distance between the amino acid side chains involved in the cross-linking should not exceed approx. 1.8 nm. A distance much shorter than that is unlikely since all attempts to cross-link the active sites with different shorter bifunctional reagents failed. The implications of these results in the mechanism of action of the enzyme are discussed.  相似文献

Maintaining stability is a major constraint in protein evolution because most mutations are destabilizing. Buffering and/or compensatory mechanisms that counteract this progressive destabilization during functional adaptation are pivotal for protein evolution as well as protein engineering. However, the interplay of these two mechanisms during a full evolutionary trajectory has never been explored. Here, we unravel such dynamics during the laboratory evolution of a phosphotriesterase into an arylesterase. A controllable GroEL/ES chaperone co-expression system enabled us to vary the selection environment between buffering and compensatory, which smoothened the trajectory along the fitness landscape to achieve a > 104 increase in arylesterase activity. Biophysical characterization revealed that, in contrast to prevalent models of protein stability and evolution, the variants' soluble cellular expression did not correlate with in vitro stability, and compensatory mutations were linked to a stabilization of folding intermediates. Thus, folding kinetics in the cell are a key feature of protein evolvability.  相似文献

【目的】硫解酶是梭菌属微生物合成短中链脂肪酸的关键酶。克氏梭菌(Clostridium kluyveri)具有3个高度同源的硫解酶编码基因,对这3个基因的功能鉴定是解析克氏梭菌高己酸合成能力的关键。【方法】通过发酵动力学分析确定克氏梭菌的己酸和丁酸生成动力学特征;转录组测序结合反转录-荧光定量RCR分析克氏梭菌3个硫解酶编码基因的表达水平和时序表达特征;在大肠杆菌中异源表达这3个硫解酶,并对其硫解酶动力学参数进行测定。【结果】克氏梭菌生成丁酸、己酸、辛酸,其中己酸为主要代谢产物;转录组数据显示,在乙酸消耗完全之前,thlA1基因维持恒定表达,thlA2基因表达时序上调,thlA3基因表达时序下调,转录组测序表明3个硫解酶编码基因均具有较高水平的转录活性,thlA2和thlA3的最高表达量分别约为thlA1的29%和43%;硫解酶动力学参数测定结果表明,克氏梭菌3个硫解酶对于四碳底物均显示出相似的底物亲和力(K_m),但ThlA1对四碳底物的催化效率(k_(cat)/K_m)略低于ThlA2和ThlA3。【结论】克氏梭菌的3个硫解酶均具有催化活性,在克氏梭菌体内均呈活跃表达,表明克氏梭菌拥有3个具有催化活性的硫解酶,这为后续深入研究克氏梭菌己酸合成机理奠定了基础。  相似文献

Abeta(1-42) has been shown to uncouple the mitochondrial respiratory chain and promote the opening of the membrane permeability transition (MPT) pore, leading to cell death. We have previously reported that the spirostenol derivative (22R, 25R)-20alpha-spirost-5-en-3beta-yl hexanoate (SP-233) protects neuronal cells against Abeta(1-42) toxicity by binding to and inactivating the peptide. Picomolar concentrations of Abeta(1-42) decreased the mitochondrial respiratory coefficient in mitochondria isolated from the rat forebrain, and this decrease was partially reversed by SP-233. SP-233 abolished the uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation induced by carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone on isolated mitochondria. These results are consistent with a direct effect of SP-233 on the MPT. Moreover, SP-233 displayed a neuroprotective effect on SK-N-AS human neuroblastoma cells treated with the MPT promoter, phenylarsine oxide. Treatment of SK-N-AS cells with Abeta(1-42) resulted in an accumulation of the peptide in the mitochondrial matrix; SP-233 completely scavenged Abeta(1-42) from the matrix. In addition, SP-233 protected the cells against mitochondrial toxins targeting complexes IV and V of the respiratory chain. These results indicate that Abeta(1-42) and SP-233 exert direct effects on mitochondrial function and SP-233 protects neuronal cells against Abeta-induced toxicity by targeting Abeta directly.  相似文献

Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are the most common cause of familial Parkinson's disease. Much research effort has been directed towards the catalytic core region of LRRK2 composed of GTPase (ROC, Ras of complex proteins) and kinase domains and a connecting COR (C-terminus of ROC) domain. In contrast, the precise functions of the protein-protein interaction domains, such as the leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain, are not known. In the present study, we modeled the LRRK2 LRR domain (LRRLRRK2) using a template assembly approach, revealing the presence of 14 LRRs. Next, we focused on the expression and purification of LRRLRRK2 in Escherichia coli. Buffer optimization revealed that the protein requires the presence of a zwitterionic detergent, namely Empigen BB, during solubilization and the subsequent purification and characterization steps. This indicates that the detergent captures the hydrophobic surface patches of LRRLRRK2 thereby suppressing its aggregation. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy measured 18% α-helices and 21% β-sheets, consistent with predictions from the homology model. Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and dynamic light scattering measurements showed the presence of a single species, with a Stokes radius corresponding to the model dimensions of a protein monomer. Furthermore, no obvious LRRLRRK2 multimerization was detected via cross-linking studies. Finally, the LRRLRRK2 clinical mutations did not influence LRRLRRK2 secondary, tertiary or quaternary structure as determined via SEC and CD spectroscopy. We therefore conclude that these mutations are likely to affect putative LRRLRRK2 inter- and intramolecular interactions.  相似文献

Volatiles emitted from immature and mature peach and apple fruits were all attractive to mated female oriental fruit moth, Cydia molesta (Busck), in a dual choice arena. Females did not discriminate between odours emitted by these two major host plants. The same natural blends were behaviourally ineffective for virgin females. A major component of apple fruit volatiles, butyl hexanoate, also attracted female C. molesta. Mated females were attracted to two medium dosages, while virgin females responded positively to the lowest of the five dosages tested. The time course of the captures of the moths shows a diurnal activity cycle known from the field. The possible implications of a semiochemical which attracts females are discussed in the context of previous findings that gravid females may immigrate from peaches into apple orchards particularly in the later phase of the season.  相似文献
