FANCL在原始生殖细胞的形成和范可尼贫血中的功能研究

Fanconi氏贫血是一种罕见的常染色体隐性遗传性疾病,表现为进行性骨髓衰竭、先天性骨骼畸形和易患癌症等。Fanconi aremia（FA）病人细胞染色体自发不稳定,并对DNA交联剂如丝裂霉素C高度敏感。目前已发现11种FA蛋白参与形成了一种DNA损伤应答途径。新蛋白FANCL是FA复合物蛋白,作为E3连接酶催化FANCD2单一泛素化,泛素化FANCD2导向染色质与BRCA2相互作用,修复DNA损伤。FANCL、FANCC和FANCA等FA蛋白缺失造成生殖细胞缺失性不育,胚胎期生殖细胞中FA途径可能调控原始生殖细胞的增殖。FANCL和睾丸特异性蛋白质GGNBP1、GGNBP2以及OAZ3都与睾丸特异性蛋白质GGN1相互作用,形成睾丸特异性复合物,有可能在成年睾丸中影响精子生成。

Synthesis of Morin–Zinc(II) Complex and its Interaction with Serum Albumin

A morin–zinc(II) complex (MZ) was synthesized and its interaction with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied by molecular spectroscopy including fluorescence emission spectra, UV-visible spectra, circular dichroism (CD) spectra, three-dimensional fluorescence spectra, and synchronous fluorescence spectra. The interaction mechanism of BSA and MZ was discussed by fluorescence quenching method and Förster non-radiation energy transfer theory. The thermodynamic parameters ΔH ^θ, ΔG ^θ, ΔS ^θ at different temperatures were calculated and the results indicate the interaction is an exothermic as well as entropy-driven process. Hydrogen bond forces played the most important role in the reaction. The fluorescence probe experiment showed that the binding site of MZ is in subdomain IIA of BSA and the distance between BSA and MZ is 3.17 nm at normal body temperature. The conformation changes of BSA in presence of MZ were investigated by CD spectra and three-dimensional fluorescence spectra.     

Spectroscopic investigation of the interaction of the toxicant, 2-naphthylamine, with bovine serum albumin

The mechanism of interaction between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 2-naphthylamine (2-NA) in aqueous solution was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD) spectra, and UV-vis spectroscopy. It was proved from fluorescence spectra that the fluorescence quenching of BSA by 2-NA was a result of the formation of complex between 2-NA and BSA, and the binding constants (K(a) ) as well as the numbers of binding sites for 2-NA in BSA were determined according to the modified Stern-Volmer equation. The results of synchronous fluorescence and CD spectra demonstrated 2-NA could decrease the amount of α-helix of BSA, leading to the loosening of protein skeleton. UV-vis spectroscopy and resonance light scattering spectra (RLS) results also suggested the conformation of BSA were changed and the BSA aggregation occured, which could induce toxic effects on the organism.     

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer between bovine serum albumin and fluoresceinamine

Physical binding‐mediated organic dye direct‐labelling of proteins could be a promising technology for bio‐nanomedical applications. Upon binding, it was found that fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) occurred between donor bovine serum albumin (BSA; an amphiphilic protein) and acceptor fluoresceinamine (FA; a hydrophobic fluorophore), which could explain fluorescence quenching found for BSA. FRET efficiency and the distance between FA and BSA tryptophan residues were determined to 17% and 2.29 nm, respectively. Using a spectroscopic superimposition method, the saturated number of FAs that bound to BSA was determined as eight to give a complex formula of FA₈–BSA. Finally, molecular docking between BSA and FA was conducted, and conformational change that occurred in BSA upon binding to FA molecules was also studied by three‐dimensional fluorescence microscopy.

Binding of pentagalloyl glucose to two globular proteins occurs via multiple surface sites

The interaction between pentagalloyl glucose (PGG) and two globular proteins, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase (rubisco), was investigated by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). ITC data fit to a binding model consisting of two sets of multiple binding sites, which reveal similarities in the mode of binding of PGG to BSA and rubisco. In both cases, the interaction is characterized by a high number of binding sites, which suggests that binding occurs by a surface adsorption mechanism that leads to coating of the protein surface, which promotes aggregation and precipitation of the PGG-protein complex. This model was confirmed by turbidimetry analysis of the PGG-BSA interaction. Analysis of tryptophan fluorescence quenching during the interaction of PGG with BSA suggests that binding of PGG leads to some conformational changes that are energetically closer to the unfolded state of the BSA structure, because small red shifts in the resulting emission spectra were observed.     

Carbon 13 NMR studies of saturated fatty acids bound to bovine serum albumin. I. The filling of individual fatty acid binding sites

13C NMR chemical shift and intensity results for a series of carboxyl 13C-enriched saturated fatty acids (8-18 carbons) bound to bovine serum albumin (BSA) are presented as a function of increasing fatty acid (FA)/BSA mole ratio. Spectra for long-chain (greater than or equal to 12 carbons) FA X BSA complexes exhibited up to five FA carboxyl resonances, designated a, b, b', c, and d. Only three resonances (peaks b, b', and d) were observed below 3:1 FA X BSA mole ratio, and at greater than or equal to 3:1 mole ratio, two additional resonances were observed (peaks c and a). In a spectrum of 5:1 stearic acid X BSA complexes, peaks b, b', and d each represented approximately one-fifth, and peak c approximately two-fifths, of the total FA carboxyl intensity. Plots of total carboxyl/carbonyl intensity ratio as a function of FA X BSA mole ratio were linear up to 7-9 mole ratio. Deviation from linearity at mole ratios greater than or equal to 7 was accompanied by the detection of crystalline unbound FA (as 1:1 acid/soap) by X-ray diffraction. In contrast to long-chain FA X BSA complexes, 13C NMR spectra of octanoic acid X BSA complexes yielded only one FA carboxyl resonance (peak c) at FA X BSA mole ratios between 1 and 20. We conclude: peaks b, b', and d represent FA bound to three individual high affinity (primary) long-chain FA binding sites on BSA; peak c represents FA bound to several secondary long-chain (or primary short-chain) FA binding sites on BSA; peak a represents long-chain FA bound to an additional lower affinity binding site. We present a model that correlates the observed 13C NMR resonances with individual binding site locations predicted by a recent three-dimensional model of BSA.     

The investigation of the interaction between ribavirin and bovine serum albumin by spectroscopic methods

The interaction between ribavirin (RIB) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been investigated by fluorescence quenching technique in combination with UV–vis absorption and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopies under the simulative physiological conditions. The quenching of BSA fluorescence by RIB was found to be a result of the formation of RIB–BSA complex. The binding constants and the number of binding sites were calculated at three different temperatures. The values of thermodynamic parameters ?H, ?S, ?G at different temperatures indicate that hydrophobic and hydrogen bonds played important roles for RIB–BSA association. The binding distance r was obtained according to the theory of FÖrster’s non–radiation energy transfer. The displacement experiments was performed for identifying the location of the binding site of RIB on BSA. The effects of common ions on the binding constant of RIB and BSA were also examined. Finally, the conformational changes of BSA in the presence of RIB were also analyzed by CD spectra and Synchronous fluorescence spectra.     

Spectroscopic study on the interaction of bovine serum albumin with zinc(II) phthalocyanine

The interaction between the photosensitive antitumour drug, 2(3),9(10),16(17),23(24)‐tetra‐(((2‐aminoethylamino)methyl)phenoxy)phthalocyaninato‐zinc(II) (ZnPc) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been investigated using various spectroscopic methods. This work may provide some useful information for understanding the interaction mechanism of anticancer drug–albumin binding and gain insight into the biological activity and metabolism of the drug in blood. Based on analysis of the fluorescence spectra, ZnPc could quench the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA and the quenching mechanism was static by forming a ground state complex. Meanwhile, the Stern–Volmer quenching constant (K_SV), binding constant (K_b), number of binding sites (n) and thermodynamic parameters were obtained. Results showed that the interaction of ZnPc with BSA occurred spontaneously via hydrogen bond and van der Waal's force. According to Foster's non‐radioactive energy transfer theory, the energy transfer from BSA to ZnPc occurred with high possibility. Synchronous fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) spectra also demonstrated that ZnPc induced the secondary structure of and conformation changes in BSA, especially α helix.

Groove binding between ferulic acid and calf thymus DNA: spectroscopic methodology combined with chemometrics and molecular docking studies

Abstract

Ferulic acid (FA), a dietary phenolic acid compound, is proved to possess numerous biological activities. Hence, this study was devoted to explore the interaction between FA and calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) by UV???vis absorption, fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy combined with multivariate curve resolution-alternating least-squares (MCR???ALS) and molecular docking studies. The concentration curves and the pure spectra of compositions (FA, ctDNA and FA???ctDNA complex) were obtained by MCR???ALS approach to verify and monitor the interaction of FA with ctDNA. The groove binding mode between FA and ctDNA was confirmed by the results of melting analysis, viscosity measurements, single-stranded DNA experiments, and competitive studies. The binding constant of FA???ctDNA complex was 4.87?×?10⁴ L mol^?1 at 298?K. The values of enthalpy (ΔH°) and entropy (ΔS°) changes in the interaction were ?16.24?kJ mol^?1 and 35.02?J mol^?1 K^?1, respectively, indicating that the main binding forces were hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions. The result of CD spectra suggested that a decrease in right-handed helicity of ctDNA was induced by FA and the DNA conformational transition from the B-form to the A-form. The results of docking indicated that FA binding with ctDNA in the minor groove. These findings may be conducive to understand the interaction mechanism of FA with ctDNA and the pharmacological effects of FA.

Characterization of the interaction between reserpine and bovine serum albumin: spectroscopic approaches

The characteristics of the interaction between reserpine and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied by fluorescence, UV-vis absorption and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Spectroscopic analysis revealed that fluorescence quenching of BSA by reserpine was through a static quenching procedure. The binding constant K(A) of reserpine with BSA at 293, 301 and 309 K was 1.63, 1.78 and 2.35 x 10(5) moL(-1) L respectively, which indicated degree of binding force between reserpine and BSA. There was one binding site between reserpine and BSA. The entropy and enthalpy changes were positive, indicating that interaction of reserpine and BSA was driven mainly by hydrophobic forces. The average binding distance between the donor (BSA) and the acceptor (reserpine) was about 3.84 nm based on the Forster non-radiation energy transfer theory. Results of synchronous fluorescence and FT-IR spectra indicated that the conformation and microenvironment of BSA were changed by the binding of reserpine. The results may provide important insights into the physiological activity of reserpine.
