The interactions of Pr(III) and Eu(III) with specifically nitrated derivatives of the basic bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor have been studied using optical spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) at 250 and 270 MHz. Stability constants for proton and metal binding to nitrotyrosines 10 and 21 determined optically are in good agreement with those from NMR. Observations of the Eu(III)-induced NMR shifts of the ring protons of nitrotyrosine 21 allowed calibration of the magnetic interactions for this binding site. The Pr(III)-induced shifts for several resolved nonexchangeable backbone proton resonances were compared with calculated shifts using the known x-ray structure. With several simplifying assumptions, the Pr(III)-induced shifts were used to assign one alpha-CH and five NH protons to compatible sets of backbone positions which are consistent with the known pH dependence and resistance to exchange with solvent D2O. Some of the more general aspects of lanthanide-induced shifts are discussed with reference to their use in proteins. Due to the complexities of the analysis of the shift data, the most straightforward use of this technique is in conjunction with the relaxation probe Gd(III) for measurement of intramolecular distances. 相似文献

Structural perturbations due to a series of mutations at the 30-51 disulfide bond of bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor have been explored using NMR. The mutants replaced cysteines at positions 30 and 51 by alanine at position 51 and alanine, threonine, or valine at position 30. Chemical shift changes occur in residues proximate to the site of mutation. NOE assignments were made using an automated procedure, NASIGN, which used information from the wild-type crystal structure. Intensity information was utilized by a distance geometry algorithm, VEMBED, to generate a series of structures for each protein. Statistical analyses of these structures indicated larger averaged structural perturbations than would be expected from crystallographic and other information. Constrained molecular dynamics refinement using AMBER at 900 K was useful in eliminating structural movements that were not a necessary consequence of the NMR data. In most cases, statistically significant movements are shown to be those greater than approximately 1 A. Such movements do not appear to occur between wild type and A30A51, a result confirmed by crystallography (Eigenbrot, C., Randal, M., & Kossiakoff, A.A., 1990, Protein Eng. 3, 591-598). Structural alterations in the T30A51 or V30A51 mutant proteins near the limits of detection occur in the beta-loop (residues 25-28) or C-terminal alpha-helix, respectively. 相似文献

The native conformation of a protein may be expressed in terms of the dihedral angles, phi's and psi's for the backbone, and kappa's for the side chains, for a given geometry (bond lengths and bond angles). We have developed a method to obtain the dihedral angles for a low-energy structure of a protein, starting with the X-ray structure; it is applied here to examine the degree of flexibility of bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor. Minimization of the total energy of the inhibitor (including nonbonded, electrostatic, torsional, hydrogen bonding, and disulfide loop energies) yields a conformation having a total energy of -221 kcal/mol and a root mean square deviation between all atoms of the computed and experimental structures of 0.63 A. The optimal conformation is not unique, however, there being at least two other conformations of low-energy (-222 and -220 kcal/mol), which resemble the experimental one (root mean square deviations of 0.66 and 0.64 A, respectively). These three conformations are located in different positions in phi, psi space, i.e., with a total deviation of 81 degrees, 100 degrees and 55 degrees from each other (with a root mean square deviation of several degrees per dihedral angle from each other). The nonbonded energies of the backbones, calculated along lines in phi, psi space connecting these three conformations, are all negative, without any intervening energy barriers (on an energy contour map in the phi, psi plane). Side chains were attached at several representative positions in this plane, and the total energy was minimized by varying the kappa's. The energies were of approximately the same magnitude as the previous ones, indicating that the conformation of low energy is flexible to some extent in a restricted region of phi, psi space. Interestingly, the difference delta phi i+1 in phi i+1 for the (i + 1)th residue from one conformation to another is approximately the same as -delta psi i for the ith residue; i.e., the plane of the peptide group between the ith and (i + 1)th residues re-orient without significant changes in the positions of the other atoms. The flexibility of the orientations of the planes of the peptide groups is probably coupled in a cooperative manner to the flexibility of the positions of the backbone and side-chain atoms. 相似文献

Hydrogen exchange rates of six beta-sheet peptide amide protons in bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) have been measured in free BPTI and in the complexes trypsinogen-BPTI, trypsinogen-Ile-Val-BPTI, bovine trypsin-BPTI, and porcine trypsin-BPTI. Exchange rates in the complexes are slower for Ile-18, Arg-20, Gln-31, Phe-33, Tyr-35, and Phe-45 NH, but the magnitude of the effect is highly variable. The ratio of the exchange rate constant in free BPTI to the exchange rate constant in the complex, k/kcpIx, ranges from 3 to much greater than 10(3). Gln-31, Phe-45, and Phe-33 NH exchange rate constants are the same in each of the complexes. For Ile-18 and Tyr-35, k/kcpIx is much greater than 10(3) for the trypsin complexes but is in the range 14-43 for the trypsinogen complexes. Only the Arg-20 NH exchange rate shows significant differences between trypsinogen-BPTI and trypsinogen-Ile-Val-BPTI and between porcine and bovine trypsin-BPTI. 相似文献

Low-energy conformations of a set of tetrapeptides derived from the small protein bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) were generated by a build-up procedure from the low-energy conformations of single amino acid residues. At each stage, various-size fragments were built up from all combinations of smaller ones, the total energies were then minimized, and the low-energy conformations were retained for the next stage. The energies of the tetrapeptides were re-ordered by including the effects of hydration. No information other than the amino acid sequence was used to obtain the low-energy conformations of the hydrated tetrapeptides. The latter were then supplemented with a limited set of simulated NMR distance information, derived from the X-ray structure of BPTI, to provide a basis for building the rest of the whole protein molecule by the same procedure. A total of 189 upper bounds, plus 12 pairs of upper and lower bounds pertaining to the location of the three disulfide bonds in this molecule, were used. Four sets of conformations of the entire molecule were generated by utilizing different combinations of smaller fragments. It was possible to obtain low-energy conformations with small rms deviations, 1.1 to 1.4 A for the alpha-carbons, from the structure derived by X-ray diffraction. The average deviations of the backbone dihedral angles were also low, viz. 23 degrees to 26 degrees. 相似文献

Sequential resonance assignments in protein 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. Basic pancreatic trypsin inhibitor 总被引:24,自引:0,他引:24
The assignment of the 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of the basic pancreatic trypsin inhibitor with the use of two-dimensional 1H nuclear magnetic resonance techniques at 500 MHz is described. The assignments are based entirely on the known amino acid sequence and the nuclear magnetic resonance data. Individual resonance assignments were obtained for all backbone and Cβ protons, with the exception of those of Arg1, Pro2, Pro13 and the amide proton of Gly37. The side-chain resonance assignments are complete, with the exception of Pro2 and Pro13, the Nδ protons of Asn44 and the peripheral protons of the lysine residues and all but two of the arginine residues. 相似文献

The low-field portions of the 250-MHz 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) specra of native and chemically modified bovine basic pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) have been studied as a function of pH over the range pH 5-13. Resonances associated with the 16 protons of the aromatic rings of the four BPTI tyrosines have been located and assigned to specific tyrosyl residues. Titrations of pH yielded pK's for tyrosines-10, -21, -23, and -35 of 10.4, 11.0, 11.7, and 11.1, respectively. The resonances associated with the nitrotyrosine-10 protons of mononitrated BPTI and the nitrotyrosine-10 and -21 protons of dinitrated BPTI have been similarly located, assigned and titrated yielding pK's for nitrotyrosine-10 and -21 of 6.6 and 6.4, respectively. The high-field NMR spectrum indicates that the aromatic ring of tyrosine-35 rotates less than 160 times per second at 25 degrees for pH's in the range 5-9. 相似文献

An implementation of the variable-target-function procedure, first introduced by Braun and Go [W. Braun and N. Go, J. Mol. Biol. 186, 611-626 (1985)], has been used to generate conformations of the small protein bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI), given a limited set of simulated data that could be obtained by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. A hybrid strategy was also used to calculate conformations of BPTI, given the same information. In the hybrid strategy, low-energy structures of medium-size fragments (decapeptides) of BPTI were generated using the variable-target-function method, followed by restrained energy optimization. The low-energy conformations were used as a basis to build up the complete fifty-eight-residue BPTI molecule. By using the variable-target-function approach, in which energy considerations were not introduced until full conformations of the entire BPTI molecule had been generated, it was not possible to obtain calculated structures with rms deviations from the X-ray conformation of less than 1.6 A for the alpha-carbons. On the other hand, with the hybrid strategy, which involved the consideration of realistic energy terms in the early stages of the calculations, it was possible to calculate low-energy conformations of BPTI with rms deviations from the X-ray structure of 1.06 to 1.50 A for the alpha-carbons. When the rms deviations were computed along the amino acid sequence, it was found that there was a good correlation between deviations among the calculated structures and deviations from the X-ray structure. 相似文献

Renaturation of the reduced bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Refolding of the reduced pancreatic trypsin inhibitor has been investigated using thiol-disulphide exchange with various disulphide reagents to regenerate the three disulphide bonds. Essentially quantitative renaturation was routinely achieved. The refolded inhibitor was indistinguishable from the original protein in interaction with trypsin and chymotrypsin, electrophoretic mobility, and nature of disulphide bonds.The kinetics of refolding using oxidized dithiothreitol to form the disulphide bonds have been studied in some detail. The renaturation reaction is usually of second-order, being first-order in both inhibitor and disulphide reagent concentrations. A short lag period in the appearance of inhibitor activity and the inhibition of the rate, but not the extent, of renaturation by low levels of reduced dithiothreitol suggest the accumulation of metastable intermediates. In addition, heterogeneity of the refolding reaction is apparent at high concentrations of disulphide reagent, with a fraction of the material being only slowly renatured. 相似文献

The structure of the complex of bovine trypsin and bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor has been determined by crystal structure analysis at 2.8 Å resolution. The structure is closely similar to the model predicted from the structures of the components. The complex is a tetrahedral adduct with a covalent bond between the carbonyl carbon of Lys-15I of the inhibitor and the γ-oxygen of Ser-195 of the enzyme. The imidazole of His-57 is hydrogen-bonded to Asp-102 and the bound seryl γ-oxygen in accord with the histidine being charged. The negatively charged carbonyl oxygen of Lys-15I forms two hydrogen bonds with the amide nitrogens of Gly-193 and Ser-195. Protonation of the leaving group N-H of Ala-16I to form an acyl-complex requires a conformational change of the imidazole of His-57. The tetrahedral adduct is further stabilized by hydrogen bonds between groups at the leaving group side and inhibitor and enzyme, which would be weakened in the acyl-enzyme. The kinetic data of inhibitor-enzyme interaction are reconciled with the structural model, and relations between enzyme-inhibitor interaction and productive enzyme-substrate interaction are proposed. 相似文献

A high-quality three-dimensional structure of the bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) in aqueous solution was determined by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectroscopy and compared to the three available high-resolution X-ray crystal structures. A newly collected input of 642 distance constraints derived from nuclear Overhauser effects and 115 dihedral angle constraints was used for the structure calculations with the program DIANA, followed by restrained energy minimization with the program AMBER. The BPTI solution structure is represented by a group of 20 conformers with an average root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) relative to the mean solution structure of 0.43 A for backbone atoms and 0.92 A for all heavy atoms of residues 2 to 56. The pairwise RMSD values of the three crystal structures relative to the mean solution structure are 0.76 to 0.85 A for the backbone atoms and 1.24 to 1.33 A for all heavy atoms of residues 2 to 56. Small local differences in backbone atom positions between the solution structure and the X-ray structures near residues 9, 25 to 27, 46 to 48 and 52 to 58, and conformational differences for individual amino acid side-chains were analyzed for possible correlations with intermolecular protein-protein contacts in the crystal lattices, using the pairwise RMSD values among the three crystal structures as a reference. 相似文献

The structure of the complex between anhydro-trypsin and pancreatic trypsin inhibitor has been determined by difference Fourier techniques using phases obtained from the native complex (Huber et al., 1974). It was refined independently by constrained crystallographic refinement at 1.9 å resolution. The anhydro-complex has Ser 195 converted to dehydro-alanine. There were no other significant structural changes. In particular, the high degree of pyramidalization of the C atom of Lys 15 (I) of the inhibitor component observed in the native complex is maintained in the anhydro-species. 相似文献

The structure of BPTI and reduced BPTI in concentrated guanidinium HCl (GUHCl) in the presence of glycerol has been probed by measurements of dynamic nonradiative excitation energy transfer between probes attached to its amino groups. Interprobe distance distributions were obtained from analysis of donor fluorescence decay curves and used to characterize local structures in unordered states of the protein. Site specifically fluorescently labeled BPTI derivatives (1-n)BPTI (n = 15, 20, 41, 46) were used, each carrying a 2-methoxy-naphthyl-1-methylenyl group (MNA) at the N-terminal amino group of arg1 and 7-(dimethylamino)-coumarin-4-yl-acetyl residue (DA-coum) at one of its epsilon-NH2 groups of the lysine side chains. Analysis of donor fluorescence decay kinetics gave the interprobe distance distributions in the native and denatured states. The N-terminal-segment, residues 1-15, is in an extended conformation (with an average interprobe distance of 34 +/- 2 A) in the native state. Upon unfolding by reduction with DTT or beta-mercapto ethanol in 6 M GUHCl/glycerol mixture, the conformation of this segment relaxed to a state characterized by a reduced average interprobe distance and a larger width of the distances distribution. The average distance between residues 1 and 26, i.e., between the N-terminus and the turn of the twisted beta sheet element (residues 18-35), increased upon unfolding. At -30 degrees C in the above solvent, the distribution between these two sites was probably composed of two conformational subpopulations. About 45 +/- 20% of the molecules were characterized by a short interprobe distance (like the native state) representing a compact conformation, and 55 +/- 20% of the molecules showed large interprobe distances representing an expanded (unfolded) conformation. Thus local structures seem to exist in reduced denatured BPTI even under denaturing conditions in 6 M GUHCl/glycerol mixtures. Some of those structures are unstable in guanidinium isothiocyanate (GUSCN). The method introduced here is suitable for probing local structures and very long range interactions in unfolded proteins and for search for folding initiation sites (FISs) and early folding intermediates. 相似文献

Secretion incompetence of bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor expressed in Escherichia coli. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

There is increasing evidence that protein folding and protein export are competing processes in prokaryotic cells. Virtually all secretion studies reported to date, however, have employed proteins that are relatively uncharacterized in terms of their folding behavior and three-dimensional structure. In contrast, the structural and biochemical parameters governing the folding of bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) and several of its mutants have been studied intensively. We therefore undertook a study of the secretion behavior in Escherichia coli of recombinant BPTI and its mutants. Wild-type BPTI and two well-characterized folding mutants (C14A, C38A)BPTI and (C30A, C51A)BPTI (missing the 14-38 and 30-51 disulfide bonds, respectively), were investigated by analyzing their expression fused to an E. coli signal sequence or to two synthetic IgG-binding domains of staphylococcal protein A. Both disulfide mutants are destabilized relative to wild-type BPTI and exhibit markedly altered folding kinetics: one (C14A, C38A) folds more slowly than wild-type BPTI and the other (C30A, C51A) unfolds more rapidly. Both mutants were observed to be exported 3-10 times more efficiently than the wild-type molecule. Moreover, the levels of unprocessed preprotein in the cytoplasm were severalfold higher for the wild-type fusion than for the fusion to the two folding mutants. Intracellular degradation of the BPTI moiety was also observed. These results are consistent with traffic of intracellular BPTI preproteins on at least three routes along the secretory pathway: (a) facile secretion of unfolded material, (b) intracellular folding leading to secretion blockage, and (c) degradation followed by export of truncated molecules. A novel feature of these findings is the implication that disulfide bonds can form in the bacterial cytoplasm and lead to secretion incompetence. 相似文献

A series of four bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) derivatives, site specifically labeled by (2-methoxy-1-naphthyl)methyl (MNA) at the N-terminal amino group and by [7-(dimethylamino)-coumarin-4-yl]acetyl (DA-coum) at one of the four epsilon-amino groups, was prepared. The four derivatives, N alpha-MNA-Arg1-N epsilon-DA-coum-Lysn-BPTI [(1-n)BPTI] (n = 15, 26, 41, and 46), were purified by affinity chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The homogeneity of each derivative and its site of labeling were characterized by HPLC tryptic peptide mapping. Nonradiative energy transfer from MNA (donor) to DA-coum (acceptor) was measured by monitoring donor emission and acceptor excitation spectra. Transfer efficiencies between 45% and 85% were observed. The fluorescence decay of MNA in MNA-BPTI, a derivative labeled by a donor without an acceptor, is monoexponential, with a lifetime of 6.8 +/- 0.15 ns. The decay kinetics of MNA fluorescence measured for derivatives labeled both by donor and acceptor showed a small deviation from monoexponential decay with shorter average lifetimes. Analysis of the experimental decay curves yielded the detailed intramolecular distance distribution functions for each pair of labeled sites. The averages of the calculated distance distribution functions are close to the values expected from the known structure of BPTI in the crystalline state. The derivatives thus obtained are suitable for investigation of conformational transitions of the labeled protein and for monitoring localized changes such as those involved in the folding or unfolding transitions. 相似文献
