Response Surface Methodology for Optimizing the Bovine Serum Albumin Fibrillation

Amyloid fibrils are considered as nanostructures that could be formed by ordered self-assembly of the partially-folded states of many different peptides or proteins. In this study, bovine serum albumin was used as a model protein whose ordered aggregation (fibrillation) was optimized. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used in a design that contained a total of 30 experimental trials. The first 24 were organized in a factorial design and from 25 to 30 involved the replications of the central points. Data obtained from RSM were subjected to the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and analyzed using a second order polynomial equation. Subsequent testing of the suggested experimental parameters was done in vitro with Congo red spectrophotometric assay. Protein concentration, pH, temperature and time of incubation were the variables used in this study. Responses were assessed by measuring absorbance in 540?nm (characteristic of amyloid formation) and maximal wavelength. Concomitant effects of variables were assessed in surface plots that each considered two of the variables. Interestingly, the pattern obtained by monitoring absorbance at 540?nm and absorbance in maximal wavelength were identical in most cases. We are reporting the optimum concentration of protein, pH, temperature and time at 5?mg?ml^?1, 3.02 and 72?°C and 48?h, respectively. Our findings suggest that use of Congo red spectrophotometric test, as a simple and affordable assay could be suggested as a first test for assessing fibril formation of proteins. Absorbance in maximal wavelength is recommended as a significant indication of fibril formation.     

Radical-Induced Damage to Bovine Serum Albumin: Role of the Cysteine Residue

The reactions of cerium(IV) and the hydroxyl radical [generated from iron(ii)/H₂O₂] with bovine serum albumin (BSA) have been investigated by EPR spin trapping. With the former reagent a protein-derived thiyl radical is selectively generated; this has been characterized via the anisotropic EPR spectra observed on reaction of this radical with the spin trap DMPO. Blocking of the thiol group results in the loss of this species and the detection of a peroxyl radical, believed to be formed by reaction of oxygen with initially-generated, but undetected, carbon-centred radicals from aromatic amino acids. Experiments with a second spin trap (DBNBS) confirm the formation of these carbon-centred species and suggest that damage can be transferred from the thiol group to carbon sites in the protein. A similar transfer pathway can be observed when hydroxyl radicals react with BSA.

Further experiments demonstrate that the reverse process can also occur: when hydroxyl radicals react with BSA, the thiol group appears to act as a radical sink and protects the protein from denaturation and fragmentation through the transfer of damage from a carbon site to the thiol group. Thiol-blocked BSA is shown to be more susceptible to damage than the native protein in both direct EPR experiments and enzyme digestion studies. Oxygen has a similar effect, with more rapid fragmentation detected in its presence than its absence.

Theoretical Characterization of the Long-range Attraction between G-actin Molecules through the Excluded Volume Effect

One of the interactions between macromolecules is the attractive forcethrough the excluded volume effect. We studied the attraction betweenthe molecules of muscle protein, actin, in the two points by using theextended scaled particle theory (XSPT). I) we verified the basic assumptionused in the XSPT that topological elements which determine the analyticalexpression of the excluded volume are almost unchanged through the scalingdown of the solute molecule in the thought experiment. Results of thecomputational geometry method (-shape method) showed that thisassumption is valid even in the case of the actin molecule. II) wecalculated the attraction between actin monomer molecules, G-actin.Calculated differences of the values of the attraction potential of twomacromolecules between at contact and at one macromolecule apart by theXSPT is almost the same as those by the Asakura-Oosawa theory.     

In Vitro Studies on the Immunological Memory for Antibody Response to Bovine Serum Albumin

Immunological memory for T and B cells was studied in an in vitro culture system with spleen cells from mice primed with bovine serum albumin (BSA). Spleen cells taken from mice immunized at various times previously with a single intravenous injection of alum-precipitated (AP) BSA and bacterial endotoxin (ET) were cultured in Marbrook's system with dinitrophenylated (DNP) BSA as the in vitro antigen. In the cultures of spleen cells obtained from mice primed more than 14 days previously, an IgG-predominant anti-BSA response was generated. However, no anti-BSA response was observed in the culture of spleen cells taken from mice primed 7 days previously (day 7 spleen cells). The failure of day 7 spleen cells to generate an antibody response in vitro was shown to be attributable to both the lack of B memory cells and the effect of “suppressive” macrophages induced by ET. On the other hand, anti-BSA memory in the spleen of mice primed with AP-BSA plus ET and 2 months later challenged with AP-BSA matured within 7 days and declined rather quickly by 30 days after the challenge. The difference in the time course of the generation of memory between the spleen cells from primary and from secondary immunized mice might be attributable to the difference in the maturation of memory B cells, since the time course of the development of memory T cells after the secondary immunization was similar to that observed after primary immunization.

Stabilization of Colicin E2 by Bovine Serum Albumin

Colicin E2 was partially purified from Escherichia coli W3110. This preparation was remarkably stabilized by bovine serum albumin in a solution at neutral pH, as shown by dilution experiments and tests on heat stability of colicin. One killing unit of colicin E2 was estimated to correspond to one molecule of colicin E2, on the assumption of a molecular weight of 60,000.     

The Interaction of New Pyridylporphyrins with Bovine Serum Albumin

The interaction of meso-tetra(4-N-hydroxyethylpyridyl)porphyrin, meso-tetra(3-N-hydroxyethylpyridyl)porphyrin, and their zinc complexes with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by electronic spectroscopy, CD, and equilibrium dialysis at pH 7.2. The titration of the porphyrins with BSA was accompanied by a decrease in light absorption and a bathochromic shift of the Soret band, as well as by the appearance of an isobestic point. The porphyrin interaction with BSA also led to the induction of positive CD spectra in the visible region, which is explained by the porphyrin sorption on the protein globule. The equilibrium dialysis helped in determining the stoichiometry of binding and the binding constants of the porphyrins under study with BSA using Scatchard plots. This interaction is nonspecific and reversible.     

A Method for the Separation of the Cyanogen Bromide Fragments of Bovine Serum Albumin

An improved method is described for the separation of the five CNBr fragments of bovine serum albumin. Gel filtration and carboxy-methyl cellulose chromatography are the primary techniques used. The composition of the fragments agree with those previously reported by T. P. King and M. Spencer (J. Biol. Chem., 245, 6134, 1970).     

Kinetics of Thermal Denaturation and Aggregation of Bovine Serum Albumin

Thermal aggregation of bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been studied using dynamic light scattering, asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation and analytical ultracentrifugation. The studies were carried out at fixed temperatures (60°C, 65°C, 70°C and 80°C) in 0.1 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, at BSA concentration of 1 mg/ml. Thermal denaturation of the protein was studied by differential scanning calorimetry. Analysis of the experimental data shows that at 65°C the stage of protein unfolding and individual stages of protein aggregation are markedly separated in time. This circumstance allowed us to propose the following mechanism of thermal aggregation of BSA. Protein unfolding results in the formation of two forms of the non-native protein with different propensity to aggregation. One of the forms (highly reactive unfolded form, U_hr) is characterized by a high rate of aggregation. Aggregation of U_hr leads to the formation of primary aggregates with the hydrodynamic radius (R_h,1) of 10.3 nm. The second form (low reactive unfolded form, U_lr) participates in the aggregation process by its attachment to the primary aggregates produced by the U_hr form and possesses ability for self-aggregation with formation of stable small-sized aggregates (A_st). At complete exhaustion of U_lr, secondary aggregates with the hydrodynamic radius (R_h,2) of 12.8 nm are formed. At 60°C the rates of unfolding and aggregation are commensurate, at 70°C the rates of formation of the primary and secondary aggregates are commensurate, at 80°C the registration of the initial stages of aggregation is complicated by formation of large-sized aggregates.     

Physicochemical Studies on the Interaction between N-Decanoyl-N-methylglucamide and Bovine Serum Albumin

The protein-surfactant system constituted by bovine serum albumin (BSA) and N-decanoyl-N-methylglucamide (MEGA-10) has been studied by using surface tension, steady-state fluorescence, and dynamic light scattering measurements. It was found that the presence of protein delays the surfactant aggregation, which was interpreted as a sign of binding between surfactant and protein. Binding studies were carried out by two different methods. First, a treatment based on surface tension measurements was used to obtain information on the number of surfactant molecules bound per protein molecule under saturation conditions. Second, the binding curve for the BSA/MEGA-10 system was determined by examining the behavior of the intrinsic BSA fluorescence upon the surfactant addition. Both approaches indicate that the binding process is essentially cooperative in nature. The results of the aggregation numbers of MEGA-10 micelles, as well as those of resonance energy transfer from tryptophan residues to 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfonate, corroborate the formation of micelle-like aggregates of surfactants, smaller than the free micelles, adsorbed on the protein surface. The dynamic light scattering results were not conclusive, in the sense that it was not possible to discriminate between protein-surfactant complexes and free micelles. However, the overall results suggest the formation of "pearl necklace" complexes in equilibrium with the free micelles of the surfactant.

牛血清白蛋白对小鼠原核期胚胎玻璃化冷冻的影响

以小鼠原核期胚胎为对象,以胚胎的存活率、卵裂率、囊胚率以及囊胚细胞数作为检测指标,在M2液的基础上添加8种浓度(0,2,4,8,16,32,64,96mg/mL)牛血清白蛋白(BSA)配置防冻液,探讨防冻液和玻璃化冷冻后对胚胎发育的影响。BSA防冻液对胚胎发育影响的实验结果表明,8个浓度组间以及与对照组间胚胎的卵裂率、囊胚率以及囊胚细胞数无显著差异(P>0.05),说明在防冻液中加入一定浓度的BSA对小鼠胚胎无毒性作用。防冻液经玻璃化冷冻后对胚胎发育影响的实验表明,8个浓度组间冷冻胚胎复苏后的存活率、卵裂率、囊胚率及囊胚细胞数无显著差异(P>0.05)。表明BSA在这种防冻液中没有明显的保护作用。从经济、实用、生物安全角度考虑,不支持在玻璃化防冻液中添加BSA。

Adsorption of Bovine Serum Albumin from salt solution onto activated carbon

One of the wastewaters from tanning industry (soak liquor) contains 0.4 g/l of dissolved protein. During coagulation and flocculation 41 % of protein was removed. A suggestion has been made to remove the residual protein by adsorption technique. The optimum conditions for adsorption of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) on rice bran based activated carbon (RBAC) have been determined. Maximum adsorption of BSA took place at pH 7.O. Ionic strength was found to have influence on the adsorption behaviour. Adsorption capacity of BSA onto charcoal surface decreased with increase in temperature. Enthalpy of adsorption in all cases was found to be within –19 to –57 kJ/mole, indicating exothermic nature of the process. Applicability of adsorption technique to the removal of dissolved protein from soak water has been studied. The maximum removal of protein occurred at pH 7.0 and the ratio of protein removed to weight of adsorbent was 3.22×10^–3 g/g.     

Development of an ELISA for Evaluation of Swab Recovery Efficiencies of Bovine Serum Albumin

After a potential biological incident the sampling strategy and sample analysis are crucial for the outcome of the investigation and identification. In this study, we have developed a simple sandwich ELISA based on commercial components to quantify BSA (used as a surrogate for ricin) with a detection range of 1.32–80 ng/mL. We used the ELISA to evaluate different protein swabbing procedures (swabbing techniques and after-swabbing treatments) for two swab types: a cotton gauze swab and a flocked nylon swab. The optimal swabbing procedure for each swab type was used to obtain recovery efficiencies from different surface materials. The surface recoveries using the optimal swabbing procedure ranged from 0–60% and were significantly higher from nonporous surfaces compared to porous surfaces. In conclusion, this study presents a swabbing procedure evaluation and a simple BSA ELISA based on commercial components, which are easy to perform in a laboratory with basic facilities. The data indicate that different swabbing procedures were optimal for each of the tested swab types, and the particular swab preference depends on the surface material to be swabbed.
