三种因素对紫膜（PM）薄膜中菌紫质（BR）光反应类型的影响

由中性和碱性ｐＨ成膜液形成的ＰＭ薄膜在不同ＲＨ时ＣＤ语及其不同波长预光照产生的ＤＣＤ谱的研究发现,不同波长预光照产生的ＤＣＤ谱,按照在７００－４６０ｎｍ间的特征可分为全正型、长正短负型和短正长负型三大类。无论成膜液的ｐＨ是中性还是碱性,也不管ＰＭ薄膜的ＲＨ如何,≤４２８ｎｍ的近紫外光照都产生全正型ＤＣＤ谱,而≥６０ｎｍ的光照都产生短正长负型ＤＣＤ谱,但是５０６ｎｍ－５９０ｎｍ间的光照产生的ＤＣＤ谱却不仅与成膜液的ｐＨ有关,而且也与ＰＭ薄膜的ＲＨ有关,成膜液ｐＨ为１０．０的ＰＭ薄膜在ＲＨ７５％时未见有长正短负型ＤＣＤ谱。在近紫外的Ｍ峰区第一、三类ＤＣＤ谱无正峰,而在第二类中为正峰。这些特征都是ＰＭ薄膜中不同结构状态的ＢＲ分子配分浓度分布变化的反映。结果认为,成膜液的ｐＨ、膜所处的ＲＨ和预光照的波长均对ＢＲ的光循环反应有调控作用。这些信息可用于ＢＲ的调控研究,对ＢＲ分子器件的研制开发有重要的参考价值。

Self-association of human and porcine relaxin as assessed by analytical ultracentrifugation and circular dichroism.

The self-association properties of recombinant DNA derived human relaxin, and porcine relaxin isolated from porcine ovaries, have been studied by sedimentation equilibrium analytical ultracentrifugation and circular dichroism (CD). The human relaxin ultracentrifuge data were adequately defined by a monomer-dimer self-association model with an association constant of approximately 6 x 10(5) M-1, whereas porcine relaxin was essentially monomeric in solution. An approximate 5-fold increase in weight fraction of human relaxin monomer elicited by dilution of the protein resulted in no change in the far-UV CD spectrum at 220 nm. In contrast, after the same increase in weight fraction of monomer, the near-UV circular dichroism spectra for human relaxin exhibited a significant decrease in the amplitude for the CD bands near 277 and 284 nm. These CD bands, which may be assigned to the lone tyrosine in human relaxin, are superimposed on a broad envelope that is probably due to the three disulfide chromophores. Although both the human and porcine proteins contain two tryptophan residues, the near-UV CD spectra exhibit only a broad shoulder near 295 nm rather than the strong CD bands often found for tryptophan. Moreover, there is little change in this broad band after dilution of human relaxin to concentrations that resulted in a 4-fold increase in monomer weight fraction. These data suggest that dissociation of the human relaxin dimer to monomer is not accompanied by large overall changes in secondary structure or alteration in the average tryptophan environment, whereas there is a significant change in the tyrosine environment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Circular dichroism of cephalopod rhodopsin and its intermediates in the bleaching and photoregeneration process.

In the bleaching process of cephalopod rhodopsin, a new intermediate was found in the conversion process from lumirhodopsin to metarhodopsin. This intermediate of octopus has an absorption peak at about 475 nm and has been named as M475. The circular dichroism value of M475 is too small to be evaluated. On the other hand, lumirhodopsin shows a negative CD at 470 nm, a positive CD at 350 nm and a large positive CD band with three peaks at 280, 287 and 295 nm. Such a large CD band in the ultraviolet region is not observed in rhodopsin, M475 and metarhodopsin. This CD seems to be mainly due to tryptophan and tyrosine residues restricted in free rotation in the protein moiety of lumirhodopsin. The intermediate in the photoregeneration process of cephalopod rhodopsin, P380, has a positive CD band at the main peak, 380 nm, and also a large positive CD band in the ultraviolet region like lumirhodopsin.     

Changes of tyrosine and tryptophan residues in human hemoglobin by oxygen binding: near- and far-UV circular dichroism of isolated chains and recombined hemoglobin

In order to assign the circular dichroism (CD) spectral change in the region between 280 and 300 nm of human adult hemoglobin (Hb A) upon the quaternary structure transition induced by oxygen binding, the near- and far-UV CD spectra of the isolated chains and the recombined hemoglobin were examined. Deoxygenation made the negative CD band at 290 nm of oxy-alpha chain deeper. On the other hand, positive CD bands of oxy-beta chain at the 280 to approximately 300 nm became negative upon deoxygenation. These changes were interpreted as being due to environmental alterations of tyrosine (Tyr) and/or tryptophan (Trp) perturbed by tertiary structural changes from the oxy to deoxy form in isolated chains, referring to the CD spectra of model compounds. From the difference between CD bands of the arithmetic mean of deoxy isolated chains and the CD band of deoxyHb tetramer, the contribution of tertiary structural change to the negative CD band of deoxyHb A at 287 nm was estimated to be 50%. This finding has revealed that the net contribution of quaternary structure transition to the negative band is 50%. In far-UV CD spectra, the environmental changes of aromatic residues upon the quaternary structure transition were also detected as a negative band at 225 nm.

Near-UV circular dichroism of trypsin inhibitor of adzuki beans attributable to disulfide groups.

The trypsin inhibitor of adzuki (Phaseolus angularis) beans shows a CD spectrum with a negative extremum at 280 nm and a positive shoulder around 245 nm. Since the inhibitor lacks tryptophan and tyrosine, the observed CD spectrum can be attributed to the six disulfide groups in the molecule. The CD features completely disappeared on reduction of the disulfide groups, and converged into a single negative extremum at 270 nm when the groups were modified to form mixed disulfides with glutathione. These observations of the CD properties of the inhibitor strongly suggest the presence of disulfide groups constrained with respect to their dihedral angles.     

Circular dichroism of human pituitary luteinizing hormone and its glycopeptides. Curve resolution and band assignments to the peptide chromophore, aromatic residues, disulfides, and N-acetylated amino sugars.

The circular dichroic (CS) spectrum of the glycoprotein hormone, human pituitary luteinizing hormone (hLH), has been determined between 195-320 nm and resolved into gaussian constituents. Below 230 nm the CD spectrum is characterized by a negative extremum at 207 nm with a shoulder at 217 nm. Resolution into gaussian constituents of the 200-230 nm CD spectrum resulted in two resolved negative bands, one at 206 nm and the other at 215 nm. The latter band is assigned to beta-structure which is estimated to be about 25%. The 206 nm resolved band is assigned to the N-acetylated carbohydrate groups (e.g. N-acetyl glucosamine, galactosamine, and neuraminic acid). This is based partly on the evidence that the CD spectrum of the hLH glycopeptide fraction (prepared by a pronase digestion of s-carboxymethylated hLH) exhibited a negative extremum at 207.5 nm, which is close to the resolved 206 nm band in hLH. Above 230 nm the CD spectrum is characterized by a negative extremum at about 275 nm. Most of the ellipticity in this region is attributed to the disulfides in hLH. Both strong acid (0.1 N hcl) and concentrated guanidine hydrochloride (4 M) affect the ellipticity in the vicinity of 275 nm, but only the latter (as well as concentrated urea) has a major effect on the CD spectrum below 230 nm indicating extensive conformational changes. There is, however, some loss of beta-structure in 0.1 N hcl. Thus, it appears that the conformation of the hLH subunits in these subunit-dissociating agents is rather different. There was no dramatic change in the magnitude of the 207 nm extremum of native hLH between 10-50C.     

Circular dichroism and conformational properties of modeccin,a toxic protein

According to its circular dichroism (CD) spectrum, modeccin, a toxic lectin from the roots of the South African plantModecca digitata, is structurally similar to the ricins and abrins. In nearly neutral and weakly alkaline solutions (pH 7.6–9.0) the CD spectra of modeccin displayed a positive CD band at 190–195 nm and a negative band at 210–220 nm, indicating the presence of some α-helix and β-sheet structures. In the near-ultraviolet zone, we observed positive CD bands at 232 and 245 nm and weak negative bands at 285 and 293 nm. In more strongly alkaline solutions of pH 9.5–10.2 the CD bands in the farultraviolet zone were not affected, but the CD band at 232 nm diminished and the CD band at 245 nm was enhanced. These transitions were reversible. At pH 11.2–11.5 the CD band at 232 nm disappeared completely, and the CD bands in the far-ultraviolet diminished. The CD bands at 285 and 293 nm were affected very little by the alkali, and these bands were assigned to buried tryptophan side chains. Sodium dodecyl sulfate and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol disorganized the tertiary structure of modeccin and reconstructed the secondary structure into a new form with a higher helix content than in the native protein.     

CD spectra of 5-methyl-2-thiouridine in tRNA-Met-f from an extreme thermophile.

5-Methyl-2-thiouridine (S) in tRNA-Met-f from an extreme thermophile is located in the TpsiC region, replacing T, and has a positive CD band centered at 310 nm. Upon heating, the profiles of the change in this band were similar to the UV melting profiles of the change monitored at 260 nm. This strongly suggests a close relation between heat denaturation of the tRNA and the conformation of the S base. Oligonucleotides containing S showed negative CD bands at 320-330 nm, like the monomer S itself, but when the 3'-2/5 fragment containing S formed a complex with the complementary 5'-3/5 fragment, a positive CD band appeared at 310 nm. These results suggest that combination of the TpsiC loop containing S with the hU loop is necessary for the positive band of S at 310 nm. S may serve to strengthen the association of the TpsiC loop with the hU loop in tRNA of the thermophile.
