超声和高压对牛血清白蛋白结构的影响比较

目的：研究牛血清白蛋白经过超声和高压处理前后的结构变化,以及自由基清除剂对其结构变化的影响。为进一步研究细胞破碎和乳化蛋白时超声和高压处理对蛋白的影响提供参考。方法：将BSA溶液经过超声和高压处理,然后利用高效液相色谱（HPLC）、动态光散射（DLS）、非变性聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳（nondenaturing SDS PAGE）以及园二色谱（CD）等手段检测处理前后的结构变化。结果：发现超声使BSA严重聚集,加入自由基清除剂可以减少聚集的产生。而高压处理后的BSA未出现聚集,但二级结构发生了变化。结论：超声和高压这两种处理方法对蛋白损伤机理不同,所以选择合适的破碎方法要根据蛋白自身的性质而定。

Optimization of bovine serum albumin partition coefficient in aqueous two-phase systems

Partitioning of proteins in aqueous two-phase systems has been shown to provide a powerful method for separating and purifying mixtures of biomolecules by extraction. These systems are composed of aqueous solutions of either two water-soluble polymers, usually polyethylene glycol (PEG) and dextran (Dx), or a polymer and a salt, usually PEG and phosphate or sulfate. There are many factors which influence the partition coefficient K, the ratio of biomolecule concentration in the top phase to that in the bottom phase, in aqueous two-phase systems. The value of the partition coefficient relies on the physico-chemical properties of the target biomolecule and other molecules and their interactions with those of the chosen system. In this work, the partition behavior of pure bovine serum albumin in aqueous two-phase systems was investigated in order to see the effects of changes in phase properties on the partition coefficient K. The concentration of NaCl and pH were considered to be the factors having influence on K. Optimal conditions of these factors were obtained using the Box-Wilson experimental design. The optimum value of K was found as 0.0126 when NaCl concentration and pH were 0.14 M and 9.8, respectively, for a phase system composed of 8% (w/w) polyethylene glycol 3,350 - 9 (% w/w) dextran 37,500 - 0.05 M phosphate at 20 °C.     

Structural studies of bovine,equine, and leporine serum albumin complexes with naproxen

Serum albumin, a protein naturally abundant in blood plasma, shows remarkable ligand binding properties of numerous endogenous and exogenous compounds. Most of serum albumin binding sites are able to interact with more than one class of ligands. Determining the protein‐ligand interactions among mammalian serum albumins is essential for understanding the complexity of this transporter. We present three crystal structures of serum albumins in complexes with naproxen (NPS): bovine (BSA‐NPS), equine (ESA‐NPS), and leporine (LSA‐NPS) determined to 2.58 Å (C2), 2.42 Å (P6₁), and 2.73 Å (P2₁2₁2₁) resolutions, respectively. A comparison of the structurally investigated complexes with the analogous complex of human serum albumin (HSA‐NPS) revealed surprising differences in the number and distribution of naproxen binding sites. Bovine and leporine serum albumins possess three NPS binding sites, but ESA has only two. All three complexes of albumins studied here have two common naproxen locations, but BSA and LSA differ in the third NPS binding site. None of these binding sites coincides with the naproxen location in the HSA‐NPS complex, which was obtained in the presence of other ligands besides naproxen. Even small differences in sequences of serum albumins from various species, especially in the area of the binding pockets, influence the affinity and the binding mode of naproxen to this transport protein.

The investigation of the interaction between orientin and bovine serum albumin by spectroscopic analysis

In this paper, the interaction between orientin and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was examined using fluorescence and absorbance spectroscopy. The analysis of the quenching mechanism was done using Stern–Volmer plots which exhibit upward (positive) deviation. A linear response to orientin was shown in the concentration range between 3 and 50 μM. The experimental results showed the presence of a static quenching process between orientin and BSA. The thermodynamic parameters ΔH, ΔS and ΔG were also calculated and suggested that the hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions played an important role in the interaction between orientin and BSA. Furthermore, the distances between BSA and orientin were determined according to Förster non‐radiation energy transfer theory. In addition, the results of the synchronous fluorescence obtained indicated that the binding of orientin with BSA could affect conformation in BSA. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Study on the synthesis of sulfonamide derivatives and their interaction with bovine serum albumin

Three sulfonamide derivatives (SAD) were first synthesized from p‐hydroxybenzoic acid and sulfonamides (sulfadimidine, sulfamethoxazole and sulfachloropyridazine sodium) and were characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H NMR and MS. The interaction between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and SAD was studied using UV/vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, time‐resolved fluorescence spectroscopy and circular dichroism spectra under imitated physiological conditions. The experimental results indicated that SAD effectively quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA via a static quenching process. The thermodynamic parameters showed that hydrogen bonding and van der Waal's forces were the predominant intermolecular forces between BSA and two SADs [4‐((4‐(N‐(4,6‐dimethylpyrimidin‐2‐yl)sulfamoyl)phenyl)carbamoyl)phenyl acetate and 4‐((4‐(N‐(5‐methylisoxazol‐3‐yl)sulfamoyl)phenyl)carbamoyl)phenyl acetate], but hydrophobic forces played a major role in the binding process of BSA and 4‐((4‐(N‐(6‐chloropyridazin‐3‐yl)sulfamoyl)phenyl) carbamoyl)phenyl acetate. In addition, the effect of SAD on the conformation of BSA was investigated using synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy and circular dichroism spectra. Molecular modeling results showed that SAD was situated in subdomain IIA of BSA. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Multispectroscopic exploration and molecular docking analysis on interaction of eriocitrin with bovine serum albumin

Eriocitrin is a flavanone glycoside, which exists in lemon or lime citrus fruits. It possesses antioxidant, anticancer, and anti‐allergy activities. In order to investigate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacological mechanisms of eriocitrin in vivo, the interaction between eriocitrin and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied under the simulated physiological conditions by multispectroscopic and molecular docking methods. The results well indicated that eriocitrin and BSA formed a new eriocitrin‐BSA complex because of intermolecular interactions, which was demonstrated by the results of ultraviolet‐visible (UV‐vis) absorption spectra. The intrinsic fluorescence of BSA was quenched by eriocitrin, and static quenching was the quenching mechanism. The number of binding sites (n) and binding constant (K_b) at 310 K were 1.22 and 2.84 × 10⁶ L mol^?1, respectively. The values of thermodynamic parameters revealed that the binding process was spontaneous, and the main forces were the hydrophobic interaction. The binding distance between eriocitrin and BSA was 3.43 nm. In addition, eriocitrin changed the conformation of BSA, which was proved by synchronous fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) spectra. The results of site marker competitive experiments suggested that eriocitrin was more likely to be inserted into the subdomain IIA (site I), which was further certified by molecular docking studies.     

Bovine serum albumin interacts with bacterial luciferase

Bovine serum albumin (BSA) affects the amount of light obtained from bacterial luciferase by competing with luciferase for one of the luciferase substrates, the aldehyde. At low aldehyde concentrations BSA behaves as an inhibitor, but at high aldehyde concentrations BSA relieves substrate inhibition. BSA reversibly binds decanal with a K_si = 3.36 μmol/l, approximately half the affinity of luciferase for decanal (K_M = 1.5 μmol/l). BSA also increased the rate of intermediate II dark decay. The data suggest that this involves a direct protein-protein (BSA-luciferase) interaction.     

Fluorescence spectrometric study on the interaction of tamibarotene with bovine serum albumin

The interaction between tamibarotene and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied using fluorescence quenching technique and ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometry. The results of experiments showed that tamibarotene could strongly quench the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA by a dynamic quenching mechanism. The apparent binding constant, number of binding site and corresponding thermodynamic parameters at different temperatures were calculated respectively, and the main interaction force between tamibarotene and BSA was proved to be hydrophobic force. Synchronous fluorescence spectra showed that tamibarotene changed the molecular conformation of BSA. When BSA concentration was 1.00 × 10^?6 mol L^?1, the quenched fluorescence ΔF had a good linear relationship with the concentration of tamibarotene in the range 1.00 × 10^?6 to 12.00 × 10^?6 mol L^?1 with the detection limit of 6.52 × 10^?7 mol L^?1.

Spectroscopic study of the interaction between lycopene and bovine serum albumin

The interaction of lycopene with bovine serum albumin (BSA) in aqueous solution was studied by fluorescence quenching, three‐dimensional fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy. The data showed that the fluorescence of BSA was quenched by lycopene at different temperatures through a dynamic mechanism. The evaluation of three‐dimensional fluorescence spectra revealed a conformational modification of BSA induced by coupling with lycopene and an increase in protein diameter as a consequence of the ligand–protein interaction. Moreover, the information obtained from evaluation of the effect of lycopene on BSA conformation by circular dichroism strongly supported the existence of a slight unfolding of BSA induced by coupling to lycopene.

Detection of squalene in alpha-fetoprotein and fetal serum albumin from bovine

Alpha-fetoprotein and fetal serum albumin have been simultaneously purified from fetal bovine serum by mild procedures utilizing ammonium sulfate, hydrophobic interaction, immobilized metal (nickel) affinity chromatography, and isoelectric focusing. The lipidic extract from each protein was analyzed by gas chromatography and the peak appearing just after the arachidonic acid was identified as squalene by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. This isoprenoid was not detected formerly in these proteins from human, rat, bovine, and pig. Until recently, in the analysis of the fatty acid composition of the alpha-fetoprotein and serum albumin from mammals, a peak has been assigned in the last part of the chromatographic profile, after arachidonic acid, to docosahexaenoic acid. In the present work, it was found that the peak corresponds to squalene instead of docosahexaenoic acid. Furthermore, we conclude that bovine alpha-fetoprotein and fetal serum albumin carry squalene, but not docosahexaenoic acid. These results agree with others obtained analyzing the same proteins from chick embryo.
