The aspartate (Asp)-induced unfolding and the salt-induced folding of creatine kinase (CK) have been studied by measuring enzyme activity, fluorescence emission spectra, circular dichroism (CD) spectra, native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and ultraviolet difference spectra. The results showed that Asp caused inactivation and unfolding of CK, with no aggregation during CK denaturation. The kinetics of CK unfolding followed a one phase process. At higher concentrations of Asp (>2.5mM), the CK dimers were partially dissociated. Inactivation occurred before noticeable conformational change during CK denaturation. Asp denatured CK was mostly reactivated and refolded by dilution. KCl induced the molten globule state with compact structure after CK was denatured with 10mM Asp. These results suggest that the effect of Asp differed from that of other denaturants such as guanidine, HCl or urea during CK unfolding. Asp is a reversible protein denaturant and the molten globule state indicates that intermediates exist during CK folding. 相似文献

The effects of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) on creatine kinase (CK) conformation and enzymatic activity were studied by measuring activity changes, aggregation, and fluorescence spectra. The results showed that at low concentrations (< 65% v/v), DMSO had little effect on CK activity and structure. However, higher concentrations of DMSO led to CK inactivation, partial unfolding, and exposure of hydrophobic surfaces and thiol groups. DMSO caused aggregation during CK denaturation. A 75% DMSO concentration induced the most significant aggregation of CK. The CK inactivation and unfolding kinetics were single phase. The unfolding of CK was an irreversible process in the DMSO solutions. The results suggest that to a certain extent, an enzyme can maintain catalytic activity and conformation in water-organic mixture environments. Higher concentrations of DMSO affected the enzyme structure but not its active site. Inactivation occurred along with noticeable conformational change during CK denaturation. The inactivation and unfolding of CK in DMSO solutions differed from other denaturants such as guanidine, urea, and sodium dodecyl sulfate. The exposure of hydrophobic surfaces was a primary reason for the protein aggregation. 相似文献

The lactic acid induced unfolding and the salt-induced folding of creatine kinase (CK) were studied by enzyme activity, fluorescence emission spectra, circular dichroism spectra, and native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The results showed that the kinetics of CK inactivation was a monophase process. Lactic acid caused inactivation and unfolding of CK with no aggregation during CK denaturation. The unfolding of the whole molecule and the inactivation of CK in solutions of different concentration of lactic acid were compared. Much lower lactic acid concentration values were required to bring about inactivation than were required to produce significant conformational changes of the enzyme molecule. At higher concentrations of lactic acid (more than 0.2 mM) the CK dimers were partially dissociated, as proved by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. NaCl induced the molten globule state with a compact structure after CK was denatured with 0.8 mM lactic acid, and the increasing of anions led to a tight side-chain. The above results suggest that the effect of lactic acid differed from that of other denaturants such as guanidine hydrochloride, HCI, or urea during CK folding, and the molten globule state indicates that intermediates exist during CK folding. 相似文献

The arginine (Arg)-induced unfolding and the salt-induced folding of creatine kinase (CK) have been studied by measuring enzyme activity, fluorescence emission spectra, native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). The results showed that Arg caused inactivation and unfolding of CK, but there was no aggregation during CK denaturation. The kinetics of CK unfolding followed a one-phase process. At higher concentrations of Arg (>160 mM), the CK dimers were fully dissociated, the alkali characteristic of Arg mainly led to the dissociation of dimers, but not denaturation effect of Arg's guanidine groups on CK. The inactivation of CK occurred before noticeable conformational changes of the whole molecules. KCl induced monomeric and dimeric molten globule-like states of CK denatured by Arg. These results suggest that as a protein denaturant, the effect of Arg on CK differed from that of guanidine and alkali, its denaturation for protein contains the double effects, which acts not only as guanidine hydrochloride but also as alkali. The active sites of CK have more flexibility than the whole enzyme conformation. Monomeric and dimeric molten globule-like states of CK were formed by the salt inducing in 160 and 500 mM Arg H(2)O solutions, respectively. The molten globule-like states indicate that monomeric and dimeric intermediates exist during CK folding. Furthermore, these results also proved the orderly folding model of CK. 相似文献

Fatty acid synthase is an important enzyme participating in energy metabolism in vivo. The inactivation and conformational changes of the multifunctional fatty acid synthase from chicken liver in SDS solutions have been studied. The results show that the denaturation of this multifunctional enzyme by SDS occurred in three stages. At low concentrations of SDS (less than 0.15 mM) the enzyme was completely inactivated with regard to the overall reaction. For each component of the enzyme, the loss of activity occurred at higher concentrations of SDS. Significant conformational changes (as indicated by the changes of the intrinsic fluorescence emission and the ultraviolet difference spectra) occurred at higher concentrations of SDS. Increasing the SDS concentration caused only slight changes of the CD spectra, indicating that SDS had no significant effect on the secondary structure of the enzyme. The results suggest that the active sites of the multifunctional fatty acid synthase display more conformational flexibility than the enzyme molecule as a whole. 相似文献

Prawn (Penaeus penicillatus) acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) catalyzes the nonspecific hydrolysis of phosphate monoesters. The effects of some pollutants in sea water on the enzyme activity results in the loss of the biological function of the enzyme, which leads to disruption of phosphate metabolism in cells. This paper analyzes the effects of methanol on the activity and conformation of prawn acid phosphatase. The results show that low concentrations of methanol can lead to reversible inactivation. Inhibition of the enzyme by methanol is classified as non-competitive inhibition, and the inhibition constant (Ki) is 8.5%. Conformational changes of the enzyme molecule in methanol solutions of different concentrations were measured using fluorescence emission, differential UV-absorption, and circular dichroism spectra. Increased methanol concentrations caused the fluorescence emission intensity of the enzyme to increase. The ultraviolet difference spectra of the enzyme denatured with methanol had two negative peaks, at 222 and 270 nm, and a positive peak at 236 nm. The changes in the fluorescence and ultraviolet difference spectra reflected the changes of the microenvironments of tryptophan and tyrosine residues of the enzyme. The CD spectrum changes of the enzyme show that the secondary structure of the enzyme also changed some. These results suggest that methanol is a non-competitive inhibitor and the conformational integrity of the enzyme is essential for its activity. 相似文献

钙调神经磷酸酶在胍变性过程中活力及构象变化的比较 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
钙调神经磷酸酶(CaN)在盐酸胍溶液中的内源荧光、远紫外CD谱及剩余活力的变化提示:CaN的酶活力在胍浓度为0.5mol/L左右可完全丧失,同时伴有内源荧光强度的下降,333nm最大发射峰的红移(提示了色氨酸和酪氨酸残基的暴露)。比较不同胍浓度下牛脑CaN的失活与整体构象变化,表明酶的失活先于整体构象变化。在0.6mol/L胍溶液中,内源荧光变化的动力学过程只能测出一相,而酶失活的动力学过程为快、慢两相,快相动力学速度常数比整体构象变化速度常数大1-2个数量级,慢相失活速度常数与整体构象变化速度常数相近。提示低浓度胍可引起该酶的完全失活,活性部位的空间构象比整个酶分子的构象更易受到变性剂的扰乱。 相似文献

The effect of cobalt ions (Co2+) on horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was studied in vitro by enzymatic activity assay, electronic absorption spectra, intrinsic fluorescence spectra and 8-anilo-1-naphthalenesulfonate(ANS)-binding fluorescence spectra. Co2+ at concentrations below 0.1 mM mildly increased the HRP activity, whereas higher concentrations of Co2+ significantly inactivated HRP in a time and concentration-dependent manner. Steady-state kinetic studies show that Co2+ was a noncompetitive inhibitor of o-dianisidine oxidation by HRP. The Ki value dropped as the incubation time increased. Furthermore, Co2+ was found to be an uncompetitive inhibitor of H2O2. These results suggested that Co2+ would slowly bind to the enzyme and progressively induce conformational changes. Spectroscopic analysis showed that even for high Co2+ concentrations, the structure of HRP as a whole only changed slightly; however, there were significant conformational changes near or in the active site of HRP. Based on the above results, we suggest that Co2+ may bind with some amino acids near or in the active site of HRP and the conformational changes of HRP induced by such binding should be the main reason for activation and inactivation effect of Co2+. The potential binding sites of Co2+ were also proposed. 相似文献

The unfolding and refolding of creatine kinase (ATP:creatine N-phosphotransferase (CK), EC 2.7.3.2) during denaturation and reactivation by trifluoroethanol (TFE) have been studied. Significant aggregation was observed when CK was denatured at TFE concentrations between 10% and 40% (v/v). 50% TFE (v/v) was used to study the denaturation and unfolding of CK. The activity loss of CK was a very quick process, as was the marked conformational changes during denaturation followed by fluorescence emission spectra and far-ultraviolet CD spectra. DTNB modification and size exclusion chromatography were used to find that CK dissociated and was in its monomer state after denaturation with 50% TFE. Reactivation and refolding were observed after 80-fold dilution of the denatured CK into 0.05 M Tris-HCl buffer, pH 8.0. The denatured CK recovered about 38% activity following a two phase course (k(1)=4.82+/-0.41x10(-3) s(-1), k(2)=0.60+/-0.01x10(-3) s(-1)). Intrinsic fluorescence maximum intensity changes showed that the refolding process also followed biphasic kinetics (k(1)=4.34+/-0.27x10(-3) s(-1), k(2)=0.76+/-0.02x10(-3) s(-1)) after dilution into the proper solutions. The far-ultraviolet CD spectra ellipticity changes at 222 nm during the refolding process also showed a two phase course (k(1)=4.50+/-0.07x10(-3) s(-1), k(2)=1.13+/-0.05x10(-3) s(-1)). Our results suggest that TFE can be used as a reversible denaturant like urea and GuHCl. The 50% TFE induced CK denaturation state, which was referred to as the 'TFE state', and the partially refolded CK are compared with the molten globule state. The aggregation caused by TFE during denaturation is also discussed in this paper. 相似文献

Arginine kinase (AK) is a key metabolic enzyme for keeping energy balance in invertebrates. Therefore, regulation of the enzymatic
activity and the folding studies of AK from the various invertebrates have been the focus of investigation. We studied the
effects of helical structures by using hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) on AK folding. Folding kinetic studies showed that the
folding rates of the urea-denatured AKs were significantly decelerated after being induced in various concentrations of HFIP.
AK lost its activity completely at concentrations greater than 60%. The results indicated that the HFIP-induced helical structures
in the denatured state play a negative role in protein folding, and the helical structures induced in 5% (v/v) HFIP act as
the most effective barrier against AK taking its native structure. The computational docking simulations (binding energies
for −2.19 kcal/mol for AutoDock4.2 and −20.47 kcal/mol for Dock6.3) suggested that HFIP interacts with the several important
residues that are predicted by both programs. The excessively pre-organized helical structures not only hampered the folding
process, but also ultimately brought about changes in the three-dimensional conformation and biological function of AK. 相似文献

The aspartic acid (Asp)-induced unfolding and the salt-induced folding of arginine kinase (AK) were studied in terms of enzyme activity, intrinsic fluorescence emission spectra, 1-anilino-8-naphthalenesulfonate (ANS) fluorescence spectra and far-UV circular dichroism (CD) spectra. The results showed that Asp caused inactivation and unfolding of AK with no aggregation during AK denaturation. The unfolding of the whole molecule and the inactivation of AK in different Asp concentrations were compared. Much lower Asp concentration was required to induce inactivation than to produce significant conformational changes of the enzyme molecule. However, with further addition of Asp, the molar ellipticity at 222 and 208 nm, the wavelength shift and the emission intensity of ANS hardly changed. Asp denatured AK was reactivated by dilution. In addition, potassium chloride (KCl) induced the molten globule state with a compact structure after AK was denatured with 7.5 mM Asp. These results collectively elucidate the osmotic effect of Asp anions for the molten globule formed during unfolding process. They also suggest that the effect of Asp differed from that of other denaturants such as guanidine hydrochloride or urea during AK folding. The molten globule state indicates that intermediates exist during AK folding. 相似文献

During denaturation by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), aminoacylase shows a rapid decrease in activity with increasing concentration of the detergent to reach complete inactivation at 1.0 mM SDS. The denatured minus native-enzyme difference spectrum showed two negative peaks at 287 and 295 nm. With the increase of concentration of SDS, both negative peaks increased in magnitude to reach maximal values at 5.0 mM SDS. The fluorescence emission intensity of the enzyme decreased, whereas there was no red shift of emission maximum in SDS solutions of increasing concentration. In the SDS concentration regions employed in the present study, no marked changes of secondary structure of the enzyme have been observed by following the changes in far-ultraviolet CD spectra. The inactivation of this enzyme has been followed and compared with the unfolding observed during denaturation in SDS solutions. A marked inactivation is already evident at low SDS concentration before significant conformational changes can be detected by ultraviolet absorbance and fluorescence changes. The inactivation rate constants of free enzyme and substrate-enzyme complex were determined by the kinetics method of the substrate reaction in the presence of inactivator previously described by Tsou [Tsou (1988),Adv. Enzymol. Related Areas Mol. Biol.
61, 381–436]. It was found that substrate protects against inactivation and at the same SDS concentrations, the inactivation rate of the free enzyme is much higher than the unfolding rate. The above results show that the active sites of metal enzyme containing Zn2+ are also situated in a limited and flexible region of the enzyme molecule that is more fragile to denaturants than the protein as a whole. 相似文献

The effects of o-phthalaldehyde (OPTA) on lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) have been studied by following changes in enzymatic activity, aggregation state and conformation. Treatment with OPTA resulted in pseudo first-order inactivation of LDH over a wide concentration range of the inhibitor, and the second-order rate constant was estimated to be 1.52 M−1 s−1. The loss of enzyme activity was concomitant with the increases in absorbance at 337 nm and fluorescence intensity at 405 nm. Complete loss of enzyme activity was accompanied by the formation of approximately 4 mol isoindole derivatives per mole LDH subunit. Cross-linking experiments verified enzyme dissociation during OPTA modification, which could be attributed to the modification of both thiol groups and lysine residues. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra showed that the secondary structure of the OPTA-modified enzyme decreased correspondingly. Comparison of the inactivation with the conformational changes of the enzyme suggests that the active site of the enzyme exhibits greater conformational flexibility than the enzyme molecule as a whole. It is concluded that OPTA modification has multiple effects on LDH, including its inactivation, dissociation and partial unfolding. 相似文献

The inactivation and conformational changes of the bacterial chaperonin GroEL have been studied in SDS solutions with different concentrations. The results show that increasing the SDS concentration caused the intrinsic fluorescence emission intensity to increase and the emission peak to slightly blue-shift, indicating that increasing the SDS concentration can cause the hydrophobic surface to be slightly buried. The changes in the ANS-binding fluorescence with increasing SDS concentration also showed that the GroEL hydrophobic surface decreased. At low SDS concentrations, less than 0.3 mM, the GroEL ATPase activity increased with increasing SDS concentration. Increasing the SDS concentration beyond 0.3 mM caused the GroEL ATPase activity to quickly decrease. At high SDS concentrations, above 0.8 mM, the residual GroEL ATPase activity was less than 10% of the original activity, but the GroEL molecule maintained its native conformation (as indicated by the exposure of buried thiol groups, electrophoresis, and changes of CD spectra). The above results suggest that the conformational changes of the active site result in the inactivation of the ATPase even though the GroEL molecule does not markedly unfold at low SDS concentrations. 相似文献

The effects of zinc on creatine kinase (CK) are very distinctive compared with other bivalent metal ions. Zinc up to 0.1 mM induced increases in CK activity, accompanied by significant hydrophobic surface exposure and increase in a-helix content of CK. Zinc over 0.1 mM denatured and inactived CK. In the presence of 0.1 mM zinc, the CK activity was very close to that of the native CK, but its conformation changed greatly. The kinetic courses of CK inactivation and conformational change in the presence of 1 mM zinc were measured to determine apparent rate constants of inactivation and conformational change. Zinc over 0.05 mM induced CK aggregation at 37°C, and the aggregation was dependent on zinc concentration, CK concentration, and temperature. The inactivation and aggregation can be reversed by EDTA. An explanation for CK aggregation induced by zinc is proposed, as well as a mechanism for CK abnormality in Alzheimer's disease.To whom correspondence should be addressed. 相似文献

On the denaturation of porcine erythrocyte catalase with alkali, urea, and guanidine hydrochloride in relation to its subunit structure 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The dissociation of porcine erythrocyte catalase [EC 1.11.1.6] into subunits on denaturation with alkali, GuHCl and urea was investigated by following the changes in hydrodynamic properties, absorption and CD spectra in the Soret region and inactivation of the enzyme. It was found that dissociation proceeded in an "all or none" manner from the native tetramer (molecular weight, ca. 250,000) into identical 1/4-sized monomers (molecular weight, ca. 54,000 with alkali, 65,000 with urea and 71,000 with GuHCl) as estimated by ultracentrifugal analyses. On this dissociation, the sedimentation coefficient decreased from about 11S to 5.1 - 3.7S, and absorption spectra in the Soret region decreased to about 40% of the native level and showed a broad band around 365-375 nm and a shoulder around 415-420 nm; these changes were accompanied by complete loss of enzyme activity. The change in enzyme activity correlated well with that of absorption and CD spectra in the Soret region, depending on denaturation time, alkaline pH used and concentration of both denaturants. The reassociated catalase obtained by removing urea by dialysis was characterized by recovery of distinct CD bands in the Soret and near ultraviolet regions, although the partial refolding of alpha-helical conformation occurred without recovery of enzyme activity. These results indicate that the conformational changes and dissociation process of catalase into subunits can be monitored spectrophotometrically in relation to enzyme activity, and that subtle conformations near the heme groups and polypeptide backbone play an important role in maintaining full enzyme activity of the catalase molecule. 相似文献

A molten globule-like intermediate of Con-A was obtained when subjected to acid unfolding. At pH 2 the intermediate was found to have native-like secondary structure, somewhat denatured tertiary structure and maximum ANS binding. Further the stability of this intermediate was studied in presence of fluoroalcohols (TFE and HFIP) and polyethylene glycols (PEG-400, 4000 and 20,000). Secondary structural changes were monitored by far-UV CD while alterations in the tertiary structure of the acid unfolded intermediate were probed by near-UV CD. To study the environment and position of the tryptophan residues present intrinsic fluorescence studies were performed. ANS binding studies were also made to know the extent of exposure of the hydrophobic patches. Using the above-mentioned techniques it was found that in presence of fluoroalcohols the pH 2 intermediate was transformed to a state with predominant alpha-helical secondary and denatured tertiary structures. In the pathway of these transformations MG-like intermediates were formed at 10% TFE and 6% HFIP. The folding intermediate of Con-A obtained at pH 2 underwent a series of conformational changes when exposed to different molecular weight PEGs. Secondary structure was induced by low molecular weight PEG-400 and low concentrations of PEG-4000 and PEG-20,000 while at higher concentrations transition in structure was observed. Tertiary structure was stabilized only at low concentrations of PEG-400. PEG-4000 and PEG-20,000 in the whole concentration range resulted in the loss of tertiary structure. 相似文献

人肌肌酸激酶胍变性时的失活与构象变化的比较研究 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
应用二阶导数光谱、紫外差吸收光谱和荧光光谱等监测手段,研究了人肌肌酸激酶在盐酸胍溶液中的构象变化。二阶导数光谱结果表明,若以6M盐酸胍中肌酸激酶酪氨酸残基的暴露程度为100%,则天然酶酪氨酸残基的暴露程度只有2%。而紫外差吸收光谱和荧光光谱的变化与兔肌肌酸激酶的结果相似。比较不同胍浓度下人肌肌酸激酶的失活与构象变化,表明酶的失活先于构象变化。同时还测定了不同浓度胍溶液中人肌酶的失活与构象变化的速度常数。结果表明以几种方法测定的构象变化均为单相的一级过程,而酶的失活却呈现了由快慢两相组成的一级反应过程。比较同浓度胍溶液中的失活速度与构象变化速度,发现酶失活的快相反应速度常数比构象变化的速度常数大1—2个数量级,慢相速度常数与构象变化速度常数相近。上述结果进一步支持了酶的活性部位构象柔性的观点。 相似文献
