The independent melting of albumin, gamma-globulin, transferrin, and protease inhibitors in the composition of donor blood serum was studied by differential scanning microcalorimetry. It was found that the number of domains in gamma-globulin in donor blood serum and in diluted solutions is the same, whereas the number of domains of albumin in solution and in the composition of blood serum is three and two, respectively. In blood serum, the N-terminal domain melts by the "all-or-none" mechanism. Therefore, the decomposition of peaks of the denaturation curve was made under the assumption that the denaturation of blood serum proteins occurs by the "all-or-none" principle. It is assumed that comparing the calculated melting parameters (Td, delta Td, delta Hd, delta Cd) of domains of blood serum proteins of donor with the corresponding parameters of patients with oncological and nononcological diseases can be used as a basis for a more precise diagnostics of these diseases. 相似文献

The method of differential scanning microcalorimetry was used to show a decrease in heat stability of serum albumin in the presence of aliphatic alcohols. In aqueous-alcohol media, the melting temperature, denaturation transition enthalpy were decreased, and the protein intermolecular aggregation enhanced. When the alcohol concentration in aqueous solution was elevated, the number of epsilon-amino groups of lysine residues in human serum albumin exposed to the solvent rose from 6-7 in aqueous solution to maximum 20 groups in the aqueous-alcohol solution, respectively. The elevation of ionic strength also induced an increase in the number of exposed lysine residues and was accompanied by an enhancement of protein aggregation. The modification of six amino groups by pyridoxal phosphate or three by glucose in the initial albumin stabilized the protein incubated at 65 degrees-70 degrees C both in the aqueous-alcohol media. At the given concentration and temperature the native protein was denatured and fully aggregated. Aliphatic alcohols displaced fatty acids from the binding sites on the molecule of serum albumin, which resulted in a change in the number of peaks of the melting curve. 相似文献

It was established that albumin of donor blood serum denatures in two temperature ranges. It is shown that the first stage of denaturation with Td = 61.5 degrees C is dominant and corresponds to melting of regions not bound to fatty acids. The second stage with Td = 80 degrees C corresponds to melting of regions bound to fatty acids. Serum denaturation heat is equal to 20.2 J/g dry protein. A change in denaturation heat capacity is 0.21 J/(g.K). Analysis of thermal parameters of deconvolution peaks showed that albumin of donor blood serum is in a fatless state and its multiple binding centers are essentially free as compared with freshly isolated albumin and may play an important role in binding of ligands in vivo. The thermal parameters of denaturation of some important human blood serum proteins including gamma-globulins, transferrin ceruloplasmin and protease inhibitors were also determined. 相似文献

Acetyltryptophanate (AT) and caprylate (Cap) have been used to stabilize serum albumin against heat treatment. However, the mechanism of stabilization by these additives has never been fully elucidated. Here we used thermal melting to determine the effects of these additives on the melting temperature of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and heat stress at 60 degrees C to follow degradation of the protein in the presence of varying concentrations of AT or Cap. Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to examine degradation products generated by heat treatment. Both additives increased the melting temperature of BSA, resulting in an increase by 12 degrees C at 5 mM AT and 3 degrees C at 1 mM Cap. They also conferred stability to BSA against heat stress at 60 degrees C. Complete protection was observed at 5 mM AT and 1 mM Cap. Comparison of AT and Cap in their effects on melting temperature and heat stress-induced degradation showed that a greater protection occurs with Cap which has a weaker effect on melting temperature. Based on this observation it was concluded that the observed protection by AT may be explained by its effects on melting temperature while that of Cap should be ascribed to other mechanisms. 相似文献

The formation of ordered structure, such as crystallites, in starch was studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The influence of time/temperature treatment and additives such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), bovine serum albumin (BSA) and a carbonate buffer on the formation was investigated. The experiments were planned with a CCC (Central Composite Circumscribed) design. For all three investigated systems it could be concluded that the incubation time at 6 °C was the decisive factor for the amount of ordered structure obtained during the incubation, while the incubation time at 37 °C was the decisive factor for the thermal stability of the crystallites as expressed by Ton, Tm and Tc. The additives seemed to mainly affect the nucleation phase of crystallization process. The additives decreased the time required in order to obtain a certain level of ordering in the incubated starch samples. The carbonate buffer decreased the amount of ordered structure in starch as judged by DSC enthalpy values, while increasing the melting temperature of these structures. The additives PEG and BSA lowered the melting temperatures of the starch in the systems but increased the enthalpy values. By optimization procedure a specific amount of ordered structure with desired thermal characteristics could be predicted. 相似文献

The interaction of L-tryptophan and four benzodiazepine derivatives with tyrosine-modified human serum albumin was investigated by equilibrium dialysis and circular dichroism measurements. Out of the 18 tyrosine residues of the human serum albumin molecule, only 9 could be modified with tetranitromethane. At least up to a degree of modification of 5, the conformation of human serum albumin was not changed and no crosslinking and fractionation has been found, as revealed from circular dichroism measurements in the far ultraviolet range and from SDS polyacrylamide electrophoresis. The modification of only 2 out of the 9 accessible tyrosine residues of human serum albumin strongly affects the binding of L-tryptophan and diazepam to their common, stereospecific bindining site. This was evidently shown by a reduction of the association constants by more than 90% and by a large reduction of the extrinsic Cotton effects of four benzodiazepines bound to human serum albumin. The numbers of binding sites remained unchanged. Strong evidence was presented that only one tyrosine residue, which reacts faster with tetranitromethane than all others, is mainly involved in the specific indole and benzodiazepine binding site of human serum albumin. The location of this highly reactive tyrosine residue and that of the specific indole and benzodiazepine binding site within the human serum albumin primary structure is discussed. 相似文献

The calorimetry studies of temperature dependence of bovine serum albumin heat capacity for the temperature interval 20-150 degrees C and pH value varying from 4 to 9 were carried out. It is shown that in the pH range considered four types of denaturation curves differing in quantity and temperatures of endothermic pikes exist. The different types of the melting curves correspond to different types of protein domain structure. At 110-120 degrees C and pH greater than or equal to 5.6 the high temperature maximum is shown to exist. The later is supposed to be due not to BSA denaturation process but to cooperative destruction of postdenaturation remnants of the secondary protein structure. 相似文献

Mutant forms of human serum albumin have been detected on the basis of their abnormal electrophoretic mobility which is either faster or slower than that of normal albumin. In the present work we have studied the structure of a slow variant, referred to as albumin Ge/Ct, in order to define the cause of its genetic abnormality. The protein was isolated from the serum of a young healthy woman homozygous for the variant. Analysis of CNBr fragments by isoelectric focusing allowed us to localize the mutation to the COOH-terminal region of the molecule (residues 549-585). This fragment was isolated on a preparative scale and subjected to tryptic digestion. All tryptic peptides were purified by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography and characterized. Sequential analysis of three abnormal peptides revealed that albumin Ge/Ct has a shortened chain with the following COOH-terminal sequence: Leu-Val-Ala-Ala-Ser-Lys580-Leu-Pro. The presence of an additional lysine residue accounts for the electrophoretic behavior of the variant. It is likely that the variant may be caused by a single base deletion in the structural gene, a Cyt in mRNA codon 580, and the consequent shift in reading frame. 相似文献

Although the interactions between bilirubin and serum albumin are among the most studied serum albumin-ligand interactions, the binding-site location and the participation of bilirubin-serum albumin complexes in pathological and physiological processes are under debate. In this article, we have benefited from the chiral structure of bilirubin and used CD spectroscopy to characterize the structure of bilirubin bound to human and bovine serum albumins. We determined that in a phosphate buffer at pH 7.8 there are three binding sites in both human and bovine serum albumins. While the primary binding sites in human and bovine serum albumins bind bilirubin with P- and M-helical conformations, respectively, the secondary binding sites in both albumins bind bilirubin in the P-helical conformation. We have shown that the bonding of bilirubin to the serum albumin matrix is a more favorable process than the self-association of bilirubin under the studied conditions, with a maximum of three bound bilirubins per serum albumin molecule. Although bilirubin bound to the primary binding site has attracted the most attention, the presented results have documented the impact of the secondary binding sites which are relevant in the displacement reactions between BR and drugs and in the phenomena where bilirubin plays antioxidant, antimutagenic, and anti-inflammatory roles.

Thermal conformational changes of human serum albumin (HSA) in phosphate buffer, 10 mM at pH = 7 are investigated using differential scanning calorimetric (DSC), circular dichroism (CD) and UV spectroscopic methods. The results indicate that temperature increment from 25 degrees C to 55 degrees C induces reversible conformational changes in the structure of HSA. Conformational change of HSA are shown to be a three-step process. Interestingly, melting temperature of the last domain is equal to the maximum value of fever in pathological conditions, i.e. 42 degrees C. These conformational alterations are accompanied by a mild alteration of secondary structures. Study of HSA-SDS (sodium dodecyl sulphate) interaction at 45 degrees C and 35 degrees C reveals that SDS affects the HSA structure at least in three steps: the first two steps result in more stabilization and compactness of HSA structure, while the last one induces the unfolding of HSA. Since HSA has a more affinity for SDS at 45 degrees C compared to 35 degrees C, It is suggested that the net negative charge of HSA is decreased in fever, which results in the decrease of HSA-associated cations and plasma osmolarity, and consequently, heat removal via the increase in urine volume. 相似文献

Rats were given intravenous injections of l-[1-14C]leucine. Twelve minutes after injection, testes, kidneys, livers, and hepatomas were excised rapidly from one group of animals bearing Morris hepatoma 5123tc. From a second group of rats, the blood was removed 90 min after injection. Tissue extracts and serum were divided into three portions each, and albumin was isolated from each of the three portions by one of three different methods.The three different isolation procedures were the following: (A) pretreatment of the tissue extracts and serum with bovine serum albumin and its specific antiserum and subsequent immunoprecipitation of the rat serum albumin, (B) direct immunoprecipitation followed by dissolving the precipitated rat serum albumin in acid/ethanol, precipitation with ether, and ion-exchange chromatography of the redissolved albumin on CM-cellulose, and (C) a modification of a procedure published previously including fractionation with trichloroacetic acid, ethanol, ether, and ammonium sulfate, chromatography on Sephadex G-100 and DEAE-cellulose, and preparative disc electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel at pH 10.3 and pH 2.7.With method (A), radiochemically pure albumin can be obtained only from serum. Even though testis and kidney do not synthesize albumin, albumin preparations isolated by this procedure from these organs contain significant amounts of radioactivity. Specific radioactivities measured in albumin prepared by method (A) from the four tissues examined are 5–19 times larger than those in preparations isolated by method (C). Thus, method (A) is inappropriate for the isolation of radiochemically pure albumin from the tissues studied.Procedure (B) is sufficient to obtain radiochemically pure albumin from the serum as well as from the other tissues examined except liver. With liver, this method yields an albumin preparation containing 53% more radioactivity than does albumin isolated with method (C).Method (C) is the only procedure yielding radiochemically pure albumin from all sources, including liver. In liver and hepatoma, the properties of the radioactive impurities are very similar to the properties of albumin itself. Therefore, several purification steps and a careful analysis of the distribution of radioactivity among the albumin fractions after chromatographies and electrophoreses are necessary to separate radioactive impurities from the albumin from homogenates of these two sources. 相似文献

In adult Xenopus serum, albumin gene expression is regulated by estrogen through the selective destabilization of its mRNA during the vitellogenic response. The present study reports the cDNA sequence of both the 68K and 74K Xenopus albumin mRNAs, their derived amino acid sequence, and the regulation of albumin gene expression during embryogenesis. Albumin mRNA has a 39 nucleotide 5' untranslated region terminating in a consensus translation initiation site. The derived amino acid sequence yields a 24-amino acid hydrophobic leader sequence (terminating in Lys-Arg) that shares significant homology with the leader peptide of rat albumin. Overall there is 37% sequence identity between rat and frog albumin, with exact conservation of all but one Cys residue and the Pro residues responsible for the three domain structure of the mature protein. The 74K albumin (unlike the 68K albumin) is glycosylated; a point mutation converting Lys256 to Asn introduces an N-linked glycosylation site that is similar to one found in the sequence of mammalian alpha-fetoproteins. A larval albumin-like protein was not detectable by silver staining in serum of tadpoles before the beginning of metamorphosis at stage 48. Albumin mRNA is absent from early tadpoles (stages 22-47); however, it is rapidly induced at stage 48 as one of the earliest manifestations of metamorphosis. Exposure of embryos to 10(-8) M T3, which regulates amphibian metamorphosis, resulted in the premature induction of albumin mRNA, such that it is evident by stage 43. 相似文献

血清白蛋白是必不可少的生命物质,在生命运动和发展延续中起着重要的作用。它不仅能维持正常的血浆渗透压,最重要的是能够储存和运输众多的内源性和外源性物质。本文利用生物信息学的方法分析了几种不同物种的血清白蛋白的结构信息和疏水性特点,研究表明人、牛、猴、兔、狼、猫的血清白蛋白序列均属于亲水性蛋白质,在100 bp以内的疏水性值差别比较明显。通过对血清白蛋白进行多序列比对分析,发现兔血清白蛋白的氨基酸突变的数目是最多的。在这几种血清白蛋白序列中,氨基酸突变更容易发生在结构相似、极性相似和能量比较接近的氨基酸之间,如D和L、E和D。对于人血清白蛋白来说,从疏水性的丙氨酸A到酸性的谷氨酸E的突变比较多,使得人血清白蛋白在进化过程中的亲水性增强,是个很好的储存和运输小分子的载体。这些基于生物信息学方面的血清白蛋白的突变及其进化关系的研究,为进一步研究药物与血清白蛋白的相互作用在其他物种中表现和特点提供了良好的基础。 相似文献

Variability in different lots of commercial serum albumin affects mammalian embryo development in culture. The composition of commercial preparations of ovine, bovine and defatted bovine serum albumin and a fraction of ovine serum containing proteins with a mean molecular weight of 65 kDa (fraction 3) was examined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. All preparations were heavily contaminated with serum proteins other than albumin. Day-6 sheep morulae were cultured for 48 h in a basal bicarbonate-buffered salt solution supplemented with the commercial preparations of ovine, bovine or defatted bovine serum albumin. These three albumin preparations differed in their abilities to support the development of morulae into expanded blastocysts, but these differences disappeared when the basal medium was also supplemented with a component of ovine serum containing substances with molecular weights of less than 10 kDa. In the latter case, the three commercial albumin preparations and fraction 3 of ovine serum all supported full development in about 40-60% of morulae. 相似文献

The regional distribution of albumin in serum extravasations of cerebral edema was visualized on intact brain slices by autoradiography of 125I-labeled antibodies directed against albumin. Following autoradiographic imaging of edema protein spread, concentrations of total serum proteins were determined by radioimmunoassay in tissue micro samples taken from various regions of the brain. Peptide fragments of albumin--produced upon proteolytic breakdown of the native protein in vivo--were separated by affinity chromatography and HPLC. The combination of techniques for imaging, direct quantification, and analysis of molecular structure of serum proteins was provided to be valid in three different types of experimental cerebral edema in the rat: cortical cryogenic lesion, brain tumors, and stroke-prone spontaneous hypertension. The results indicate differences in the reactivity of edematous tissue with respect to proteolytic activity, depending on the susceptibility of serum proteins to in vivo fragmentation. 相似文献

After 1946, serum albumin was available for studies. Its residue sequence and internal disulfide bonding was developed by 1976. We began to make dielectric dispersion studies and apply Perrin's equations for rotational relaxation times around the two axes of revolution in 1938. These data indicated that albumin should have an elongated shape. In 1992 atomic structure data indicated the molecule was heart-shaped. A similar 1998 study of albumin complexed with fatty acid showed that the molecule was substantially rearranged. We found that the dielectric constant of albumin solutions was sensitive to fatty acid content, making this property an attractive probe in stop–flow kinetic studies. Such studies show that the fatty acid reaction is a two-step process. The fatty acid first binds to exterior sites in a diffusion-limited second order reaction complete in 1 ms. Then a first order rearrangement reaction with 400 ms half-life follows. Thus the highly specialized serum albumin sequence of amino acid residues determines not only the structure of the unligated molecule, but also the distinctive structures of the numerous multiligated molecules. 相似文献

Twelve fragments of bovine serum albumin, isolated following limited tryptic or peptic hydrolysis, have been studied to define secondary structure and locate ligand-binding sites. Based on circular dichroism, the conformational pattern of albumin (68% alpha helix and 18% beta structure) is substantially retained by individual fragments, indicating that secondary configuration is locally determined and is not destroyed during the cleavage process nor during fragment purification. The strong bilirubin-binding site of bovine serum albumin is present in 3 of the 12 fragments. Residues 186-238 are common to the three fragments and absent from those fragments which do not bind bilirubin; consequently the strong bilirubin-binding site is suggested to involve this region. By similar reasoning, the presence of palmitate-binding sites in some fragments and not in others indicates that the three strongest sites for the binding of palmitate are located in the carboxyl-terminal two-thirds of the molecule. The first site (KA approximately 2 X 10(7) M-1) is suggested as residues 377-503; the second site (KA approximately 8 X 10(6) M-1), residues 239-306; the third site (KA approximately 2 X 10(6) M-1), residues 307-377. Bromocresol Green, a reagent used in the assay of ablumin, was bound by fragments rougly in proportion to their size but showed particular affinity for the region of the strong bilirubin-binding site. The fluorescent probe, 8-anilino-1-naphthalensulfonate, was in general bound by large fragments, supporting the concept that this ligand is held principally in clefts between domains of the macromolecule. 相似文献

The purified biotin binding protein of pregnant rat serum was shown to be immunologically similar to rat serum albumin as
assessed by a sensitive radioimmunoassay. In radioimmunoassay for rat biotin binding protein, the binding of [125I] rat biotin binding protein to anti-chicken egg yolk biotin binding protein antibodies was displaced by both rat serum (10–100
nl) and purified rat serum albumin (0.1–10 ng). Similarly, in radioimmunoassay for rat serum albumin the binding of [125I] rat serum albumin to either anti-rat serum albumin antibodies or anti-chicken egg yolk biotin binding protein antibodies
was displaced by unlabelled rat biotin binding protein at comparable concentration range (0·5–10 ng). Significant fractions
of radioiodinated rat biotin binding protein and rat serum albumin bound to antibodies to chicken egg yolk biotin binding
protein. In immature rats, the circulating half-lives of rat biotin binding protein and rat serum albumin were determined
to be 12 and 17 h respectively. The rat biotin binding protein and rat serum albumin were analysed by techniques that exploit
their physicochemical properties. They displayed similar electrophoretic mobilities in alkaline as well as denaturing sodium
dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gels. However, in nonequilibrium pH gradient polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, they resolved
clearly. In two-dimensional tryptic peptide map analysis, the two proteins showed similarities as well as significant differences
in the relative distribution patterns of their iodopeptides. These results showed that the primary structure of rat biotin
binding protein and rat serum albumin were different in finer details despite the fact that they shared significant immunological
cross-reactivity. 相似文献
