Photobilirubin II, a stereoisomer of bilirubin, binds to human serum albumin at a single binding site (K = 2.2 x 10(6)M-1), presumably the high-affinity bilirubin-binding site. Binding in the secondary (class II) binding sites is of minor importance. The results are discussed with respect to photometabolism of bilirubin and as a possible source of error in the determination of bilirubin unbound to albumin.  相似文献

The binding equilibrium of deuteroporphyrin IX to human serum albumin and to bovine serum albumin was studied, by monitoring protein-induced changes in the porphyrin fluorescence and taking into consideration the self-aggregation of the porphyrin. To have control over the latter, the range of porphyrin concentrations was chosen to maker dimers (non-covalent) the dominant aggregate. Each protein was found to have one high-affinity site for deuteroporphyrin IX monomers, the magnitudes of the equilibrium binding constants (25 degrees C, neutral pH, phosphate-buffered saline) being 4.5 (+/- 1.5) X 10(7) M-1 and 1.7 (+/- 0.2) X 10(6) M-1 for human serum albumin and for bovine serum albumin respectively. Deuteroporphyrin IX dimers were found to bind directly to the protein, each protein binding one dimer, with high affinity. Two models are proposed for the protein-binding of porphyrin monomers and dimers in a porphyrin system having both species: a competitive model, where each protein molecule has only one binding site, which can be occupied by either a monomer or a dimer; a non-competitive model, where each protein molecule has two binding sites, one for monomers and one for dimers. On testing the fit of the data to the models, an argument can be made to favour the non-competitive model, the equilibrium binding constants of the dimers, for the non-competitive model (25 degrees C, neutral pH, phosphate-buffered saline), being: 8.0 (+/- 1.8) X 10(8) M-1 and 1.2 (+/- 0.6) X 10(7) M-1 for human serum albumin and bovine serum albumin respectively.  相似文献

Fluorescence spectra of protoporphyrin bound to its most affinitive site on human serum albumin, bound to human haemopexin and dissolved in human plasma reveal that, when present in plasma, at least 90% of this porphyrin is bound to albumin. Human serum albumin binds protoporphyrin with an affinity KA = 3 X 10(9)M-1 in phosphate-buffered saline. The affinity of haemopexin for protoporphyrin is 4 times smaller. From these data it is concluded that less than 1% of plasma protoporphyrin is bound to haemopexin. Implications of the data for protoporphyrin transport and clearance are discussed.  相似文献

A thyroid hormone binding protein(s) has been characterized in the cytosol of fetal rat brain cells in primary cultures. This protein is closely related to the one described in brain supernatants with respect to its electrophoretic mobility, binding kinetic parameters and estimated molecular weight (65 000 daltons). However, in contrast to the brain cytosolic binding protein, two classes of affinity sites for triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) have been demonstrated: a high affinity site (KA = 1.2-3.7(3) X 10(9) M-1 for T3 and KA = 3.7-5 X 10(8) M-1 for T4) and a low affinity site (KA = 0.8-1.4 X 10(8) M-1 for T3 and 1.6-2.9 X 10(7) M-1 for T4). The results are discussed with respect to their cellular significance.  相似文献

Membrane-bound tubulin in brain and thyroid tissue.   总被引:26,自引:0,他引:26  
Brain and thyroid tissue contain membrane-bound colchicine-binding activity that is not due to contamination by loosely bound cytoplasmic tubulin. This activity can be solubilized to the extent of 80 to 90% by treatment with 0.2% Nonidet P-40 with retention of colchicine binding. Extracts so obtained contain a prominent protein band in disc gel electrophoresis that co-migrates with tubulin. Membranes, and the solubilized protein therefrom, exhibit ligand binding properties like tubulin; for colchicine the KA is approximately 1 X 10(6) M-1 in brain and approximately 0.6 X 10(6) M-1 in thyroid; for vinblastine the KA is approximately 8 X 10(6) M-1 for both tissues; and for podophyllotoxin the Ki is approximately 2 X 10(-6) M for both tissues. Displacement by analogues of colchicine is of the same order as for soluble tubulin. Although membrane-bound colchicine-binding activity shows greater thermal stability and a higher optimum binding temperature (54 degrees versus 37 degrees) than soluble tubulin, this appears to be the result of the membrane environment since the solubilized binding activity behaves like the soluble tubulin. Antibody against soluble brain tubulin reacts with membranes and solubulized colchicine-binding activity from both brain and thyroid gland. We conclude that brain and thyroid membrane preparations contain firmly bound tubulin or a very similar protein.  相似文献

The specific binding of IgG to jejunal brush borders was greatest at acidic pH, at neutral pH no specific binding occurred. Specific binding declined with age-no specific binding occurred in borders from 20-and 24-day-old animals. There was no specific binding of IgG to borders from ileal enterocytes. Human transferrin and bovine serum albumin did not bind specifically to borders. The affinity of binding (-Ka) and the receptors site numbers per border estimated for rat IgG were 18.64 X 10(6) M-1 to 3.53 X 10(6) sites; for human IgG, 25.06 X 10(6) M-1 to 3.30 X 10(6) sites; for bovine IgG, 10.48 X 10(6) M-1 to 2.11 X 10(6) sites and for sheep IgG, 7.26 X 10(6) M-1 to 2.34 X 10(6) sites.  相似文献

1. The fluorescent fatty acid probe 11-(dansylamino)undecanoic acid (DAUDA) binds with high affinity to bovine and human serum albumin (BSA and HSA) at three sites. 2. The Kd of the primary binding site could not be determined; however, the two secondary sites appeared to be equivalent, with an apparent Kd of 8 x 10(-7) M for both BSA and HSA. 3. The spectral characteristics of DAUDA when bound to the primary site of the two albumins were different, with HSA producing a greater fluorescence enhancement and emission maximum at a shorter wavelength (480 nm) than for BSA (495 nm). 4. Displacement studies indicated that the DAUDA-binding sites were not equivalent to the primary long-chain fatty acid-binding sites on albumin, but corresponded to the bilirubin sites. Fatty acyl-CoAs also bind to the bilirubin sites, as do medium-chain fatty acids. 5. The solubility, stability and spectral properties of DAUDA make it an excellent probe for investigating the bilirubin-binding sites of albumin, particularly HSA.  相似文献

Binding of branched-chain 2-oxo acids to bovine serum albumin.   总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0       下载免费PDF全文
1. Binding of branched-chain 2-oxo acids to defatted bovine serum albumin was shown by gel chromatography and equilibrium dialysis. 2. Equilibrium-dialysis data suggest a two-side model for binding in Krebs-Henseleit saline at 37 degrees C with n1 = 1 and n2 = 5. Site association constants were: 4-methyl-2-oxovalerate, k1 = 8.7 x 10(3) M-1, k2 = 0.09 x 10(3) M-1; 3-methyl-2-oxovalerate, k1 = 9.8 x 10(3) M-1, k2 = 0.08 x 10(3) M-1; 3-methyl-2-oxobutyrate, k1 = 1.27 x 10(3) M-1, k2 = less than 0.05 x 10(3) M-1. 3. Binding of 4-methyl-2-oxovalerate to defatted albumin in a phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.4, gave the following thermodynamic parameters: primary site delta H0(1) = -28.6kJ . mol-1 and delta S0(1) = -15.2J . mol-1 . K-1 (delta G0(1) = -24.0kJ . mol-1 at 37 degrees C) and secondary sites delta H0(2) = -25.4kJ . mol-1 and delta S0(2) = -46.1J . mol-1 . K-1 (delta G0(1) = -11.2kJ . mol-1 at 37 degrees C). Thus binding at both sites is temperature-dependent and increases with decreasing temperature. 4. Inhibition studies suggest that 4-methyl-2-oxovalerate may associate with defatted albumin at a binding site for medium-chain fatty acids. 5. Binding of the 2-oxo acids in bovine, rat and human plasma follows a similar pattern to binding to defatted albumin. The proportion bound in bovine and human plasma is much higher than in rat plasma. 6. Binding to plasma protein, and not active transport, explains the high concentration of branched-chain 2-oxo acids leaving rat skeletal muscle relative to the concentration within the tissue, but does not explain the 2-oxo acid concentration gradient between plasma and liver.  相似文献

The binding of divalent cations and nucleotide to bovine brain glutamine synthetase and their effects on the activity of the enzyme were investigated. In ADP-supported gamma-glutamyl transfer at pH 7.2, kinetic analyses of saturation functions gave [S]0.5 values of approximately 1 microM for Mn2+, approximately 2 mM for Mg2+, 19 nM for ADP.Mn, and 7.2 microM for ADP.Mg. The method of continuous variation applied to the Mn2+-supported reaction indicated that all subunits of the purified enzyme express activity when 1.0 equiv of ADP is bound per subunit. Measurements of equilibrium binding of Mn2+ to the enzyme in the absence and presence of ADP were consistent with each subunit binding free Mn2+ (KA approximately equal to 1.5 X 10(5) M-1) before binding the Mn.ADP complex (KA' approximately equal to 1.1 X 10(6) M-1). The binding of the first Mn2+ or Mg2+ to each subunit produces structural perturbations in the octameric enzyme, as evidenced by UV spectral and tryptophanyl residue fluorescence changes. The enzyme, therefore, has one structural site per subunit for Mn2+ or Mg2+ and a second site per subunit for the metal ion-nucleotide complex, both of which must be filled for activity expression. Chloride binding (KA' approximately equal to 10(4) M-1) to the enzyme was found to have a specific effect on the protein conformation, producing a substantial (30%) quench of tryptophanyl fluorescence and increasing the affinity of the enzyme 2-4-fold for Mg2+ or Mn2+. Arsenate, which activates the gamma-glutamyl transfer activity by binding to an allosteric site, and L-glutamate also cause conformational changes similar to those produced by Cl- binding. Anion binding to allosteric sites and divalent metal ion binding at active sites both produce tryptophanyl residue exposure and tyrosyl residue burial without changing the quaternary enzyme structure.  相似文献

The binding of estradiol-17 beta (E2), diethylstilbestrol (DES), and polyene fatty acids, in particular arachidonate (C20:4), to alpha 1-fetoprotein (alpha-FP) and albumin purified from mouse embryo sera was studied using equilibrium dialysis and electrophoretic techniques. E2, arachidonate, and DES all bind to alpha-FP, but with decreasing strength. E2 is a high affinity, low capacity ligand (Ka approximately 0.8 X 10(8) M-1 and approximately 0.3 sites/mol of alpha-FP at 25 degrees C); arachidonate is a weaker ligand disposing of more sites (Ka approximately 0.3 X 10(7) M-1 and 4-5 sites/mol of alpha-FP); the binding of DES is of comparatively low affinity and capacity (Ka approximately 0.2 X 10(7) M-1 and n approximately 0.7/mol of alpha-FP). In spite of different structures and equilibrium parameters, E2, DES, and arachidonate are able to compete with each other for binding to the fetoprotein. The C22:4 and C22:6 fatty acids are also efficient concentration-dependent inhibitors of E2 or DES binding. Albumin binds the fatty acids and DES, but equilibrium parameters are different from those of alpha-FP. In particular, arachidonate is a better ligand for albumin, where it interacts with at least two classes of apparent sites (Ka1 approximately 0.3 X 10(8) M-1 and n1 approximately 1; Ka2 approximately 0.2 X 10(7) M-1 and n2 approximately 30). In contrast to alpha-FP, albumin virtually does not bind E2. Also, no competition could be demonstrated between DES and fatty acid ligands for binding to albumin. None of the studied interactions, with either albumin or alpha-FP, was modified even by high doses of bilirubin. The possible functions of the various binding activities present in fetal sera in the process of growth are discussed.  相似文献

Controlled limited proteolysis of human plasma albumin (0.3 mM; 37 degrees C; 15 min; pH 3.7) with pepsin [pepsin/albumin, 1:1000 (w/w)] in the presence of octanoic acid (4.2 mM) yields at least 14 fragments in the range of 5000--56000 Da. By utilizing a combination of conventional and affinity-chromatographic procedures, two fragments with mol. wts. 25000 and 27000 were purified to more than 99% homogeneity. The larger fragment consists of a continuous polypeptide chain and has been shown to contain the primary bilirubin-binding site. The small fragment contains an internal cleavage site. On the basis of amino acid compositions, N-terminal sequences, C-terminal sequences, molecular weights and other internal markers the locations of these fragments within the known sequence of human albumin were determined to be residues 49--308 for the 27000 Da peptide and 309--585 for the 25000 Da peptide. Peptide 309--585 contains an internal cleavage site and appears to be missing residues 408--423. These non-overlapping fragments should be useful for investigations of individual ligand-binding sites and for the determination of antigenic sites.  相似文献

The interaction of gossypol with bovine serum albumin, human serum albumin and n-bromosuccinimide-modified bovine serum albumin has been followed by fluorescence quenching measurements. The presence of a high affinity site (association constant K = 2.2 x 10(6) M-1) for gossypol on bovine serum albumin and human serum albumin is indicated. The stoichiometry of binding for the high affinity site was evaluated using Job's method of continuous variation, thereby suggesting the formation of 1:1 complex. Modification of the tryptophan residues on bovine serum albumin does not affect the binding of gossypol to either high or low affinity site of albumin.  相似文献

The equilibrium binding kinetics of enzymatically prepared N-acetyllactosamine to the lectin from Erythrina cristagalli have been investigated by 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Under the experimental conditions used, NMR signals in the spectrum, corresponding to both the free and bound disaccharide species, were observed for the first time. This has permitted the simultaneous determinations of the equilibrium binding constant and the number of binding sites per lectin molecule. At the relatively high lectin concentrations used (0.3-0.87 mM), the association constants determined at 31 degrees C (approximately 6 X 10(3) M-1) are typically lower then those obtained by other methods employing much lower lectin concentrations. Extrapolation of the experimentally observed values to infinite dilution gave a better fit of the data (Ka approximately 1.4 X 10(4) M-1) with the binding constant determined by other methods (K approximately 1.1 X 10(4) M-1). The sugar residence time on the lectin (approximately 0.2 s) was determined directly from the signal's line-width using total line-shape analysis. Similar NMR experiments may permit an analysis of the interaction of the lectin with glycoproteins and cells labelled with 13C-enriched galactose residues. Moreover, information on lectin-galactose interactions at the binding site may be obtained by using galactose labeled at various carbons.  相似文献

Apoconalbumin binds Mn(II) at two sites with association constants of K1 = 7 (+/- 1) X 10(4) and K2 = 0.4 (+/- 0.25) X 10(4) M-1. The binding is tighter in the presence of excess bicarbonate resulting in K1 = 1.8 (+/- 0.2) X 10(5) and K2 = 3 (+/- 2) X 10(4) M-1. The electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum (at both 9 and 35 GHz) of Mn(II) bound at the tight site reveals a rhombic distortion (lambda = E/D approximately equal to 0.25-0.31) in the protein ligand environment of the mental ion. An evaluation of the 1/pT1p, paramagnetic contribution to the longitudinal relaxation rate of solvent protons with Mn(II)-, Mn(III)-, and Fe(III)-derivatives of conalbumin revealed that the mental ion in each site of conalbumin is accessible to one water molecule. For Mn(II)-conalbumin and Mn(III)-conalbumin species, inner coordination sphere protons are rapidly exchanging with the bulk solvent, while slow exchange conditions prevail for Fe(III)-conalbumin.  相似文献

The binding of bilirubin and the polyene fatty acids cis-parinaric acid and cis-eleostearic acid to human alpha-fetoprotein was studied using fluorescence quenching and fluorescence enhancement techniques. alpha-Fetoprotein has three fatty acid binding sites of decreasing affinity (association constants 2.1 x 10(7) M-1 9.1 X 10(5) M-1, and 1.4 x 10(5) M-1) and one relatively strong and one relatively weak bilirubin binding site (association constants 1.1 x 10(7) M-1 and 1.8 x 10(5) M-1). These association constants are slightly weaker than the corresponding association constants for binding to human albumin. Competition experiments failed to show preferential binding of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Fluorescence quenching was used to determine 11 ligand-ligand and ligand-tryptophanyl residue distances. Each of these 11 calculated distances (ranging from 19 A to 32 A) was within 5 A of the corresponding distances measured previously for human albumin (Berde, C.B., Hudson, B.S., Simoni, R.D., and Sklar, L.A. 1979, J. Biol. Chem. 254, 391-400). Thus, in addition to previously described sequence homology, immunologic cross-reactivity, and other similarities, human albumin and human alpha-fetoprotein have functional and geometric homologies.  相似文献

The Ca2+-binding properties of isolated brush-border membranes at physiological ionic strength and pH were examined by rapid Millipore filtration. A comprehensive analysis of the binding data suggested the presence of two types of Ca2+-binding sites. The high-affinity sites, Ka = (6.3 +/- 3.3) X 10(5) M-1 (mean +/- S.E.M.), bound 0.8 +/- 0.1 nmol of Ca2+/mg of protein and the low-affinity sites, Ka = (2.8 +/- 0.3) X 10(2) M-1, bound 33 +/- 3.5 nmol of Ca2+/mg of protein. The high-affinity site exhibited a selectivity for Ca2+, since high concentrations of competing bivalent cations were required to inhibit Ca2+ binding. The relative effectiveness of the competing cations (1 and 10 mM) for the high-affinity site was Mn2+ approximately equal to Sr2+ greater than Ba2+ greater than Mg2+. Data from the pH studies, treatment of the membranes with carbodi-imide and extraction of phospholipids with aqueous acetone and NH3 provided evidence that the low-affinity sites were primarily phospholipids and the high-affinity sites were either phosphoprotein or protein with associated phospholipid. Two possible roles for the high-affinity binding sites are suggested. Either high-affinity Ca2+ binding is involved with specific enzyme activities or Ca2+ transport across the luminal membrane occurs via a Ca2+ channel which contains a high-affinity Ca2+-specific binding site that may regulate the intracellular Ca2+ concentration and gating of the channel.  相似文献

Bovine cardiac myosin ATPase activity was rapidly inactivated by the purine disulfide analog of ATP,6,6'-dithiobis(inosinyl imidodiphosphate). Kinetic investigations showed that this analog acted as a site-specific reagent at 0 degrees with a Ki of 130 muM and a half-life of 8.2 min at saturating inhibitor concentrations. Concentrations (50 to 500 muM) of ATP, adenyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP), or ADP that saturated the active site caused an enhancement in the rate of inactivation, indicating the purine disulfide analog was not reacting at the active site. Under these conditions saturation kinetic data were still observed with Ki values remaining unchanged (120 muM) but with the half-life of inactivation decreasing to 6.0 min (ATP) and 4.6 min (AMP-PNP) at saturating inhibitor concentrations. At concentrations greater than 0.5 mM ATP, AMP-PNP, or ADP there was a decrease in the rate of inactivation, implying protection by these nucleotides. However, saturation kinetics of inactivation could no longer be demonstrated, implying a change in the mechanism of inactivation. A comparison of the inactivation of the Mg2+, Ca2+, and EDTA-ATPase activities of cardiac myosin after modification by the purine disulfide analog showed that the Mg2+- and Ca2+ATPase activities plateaued at approximately 60% and 40%, respectively, while the EDTA-ATPase activity continued to decrease to below 10%. This evidence supports the suggestion that the purine disulfide analog was not reacting at the active site. Equilibrium dialysis experiments were used to measure the binding of [8-3H]AMP-PNP to native cardiac myosin, the thiopurine nucleotide-modified myosin, and the derivative formed by displacing the thiopurine nucleotide by cyanide (thiocyanato-myosin). Native myosin bound a total of 2.1 mol of AMP-PNP with a binding constant of 6.0 X 10(6) M-1. There was a 15 to 40% decrease in the number of AMP-PNP binding sites in the enzyme derivatives, but the active sites appeared not to be blocked since the association constants remained essentially unchanged (KA=3.9 X 10(6) M-1 for thiopurine nucleotide-myosin and 12.0 X 10(6) M-1 for thiocyanato-myosin). The kinetic studies and the binding experiments indicate that the purine disulfide analog reacts at a specific site other than the active site but do not offer support to earlier suggestions from skeletal myosin studies that this site is a possible ATP control site.  相似文献

We have developed a new method to assess the binding site on alpha-bungarotoxin (alpha-BGT) for the acetylcholine receptor. It involves the covalent attachment of a palmitic acid chain to the toxin molecule, generating monopalmitoyl-alpha-bungarotoxin (PBGT) which is then immobilized on the surface of a lipid vesicle by a process of spontaneous insertion via the acyl chain into preformed unilamellar vesicles (approximately 800 A in diameter). PBGT itself is able to bind specifically to Triton X-100 solubilized acetylcholine receptors with an association constant, KA, of 5.56 X 10(6) M-1 which is approximately 20-fold lower in affinity than native alpha-BGT. Vesicle-associated PBGT binds to acetylcholine receptor enriched microsac membrane vesicles in aqueous buffer with a KA for both lipid and protein of 4.26 X 10(7) M-1. The putative site of acylation on the PBGT molecule is determined by extensive cleavage of a reduced and carboxymethylated PBGT with thermolysin. An acylated fragment is purified by hydrophobic column chromatography and identified by high-pressure liquid chromatography methods from the known primary sequence of the native toxin as a decapeptide including residues Thr47-Glu56 [C. Y. Lee convention used; see Mebs, D., Narita, K., Iwanaga, S., Samejuma, Y., & Lee, C. Y. (1971) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 44, 711-716]. Sequential hydrolysis of the fragment from the carboxy terminus with carboxypeptidase Y indicates that Lys51 is the sole site of acylation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

The Maclura pomifera agglutinin (MPA) was purified by affinity chromatography from a seed extract and its properties were compared with those of the Artocarpus integrifolia lectin, jacalin. Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography showed both proteins had multiple forms of a small approximately 20-residue polypeptide chain in addition to the major 12,000 Mr subunit. The amino acid sequences of the small chains and the N-terminal sequences of the large subunits showed considerable similarity between the two proteins, approximately 60% identical residues. The homology of the proteins was confirmed by the similarity of their circular dichroism and fluorescence emission spectra. MPA showed much greater spectral changes upon binding methyl alpha-D-galactoside, suggesting it has complete activity rather than the partial activity found for jacalin. The binding of methyl alpha-D-galactoside by MPA was measured by fluorescence titration; the KA was 1.9 X 10(4) M-1 compared to 3.4 X 10(4) M-1 for jacalin. MPA also precipitated human IgA1 in the same manner as jacalin. The spectra indicate the involvement of tryptophan and tyrosine residues in the binding site of these lectins. Since a tryptophan residue is conserved in all the small subunits, they may form part of the binding site.  相似文献
