With the glutathione system that leads to rapid regeneration of reduced lysozyme (Saxena, V. P., and Wetlaufer, D. B. (1971) Biochemistry 9, 5015), reduced pancreatic ribonuclease (RNase) regenerated activity in high yield (greater than 90%) but at a considerably lower rate (t1/2 approximately 75 min). Systematic examination of the effects upon regeneration of the concentrations and ratios of reduced and oxidized glutathione (GSH and GSSG) showed the same broad optima for RNase as were earlier found for lysozyme: [GSSG] = 5 X 10(-4) M, [GSH] = 5 X 10(-3) M. Regeneration of reduced RNase by air oxidation was shown to be inhibitable by 10(-4) M EDTA, whereas the glutathione regeneration was unaffected by EDTA. In addition the air-oxidative regeneration showed a strong temperature dependence, in contrast with the glutathione system. The mechanisms of these two kinds of regenerations are therefore different. Six potentially catalytic metal ions were tested in the air-oxidative regeneration of RNase: Cu2+, Co2+, Mn2+, Fe3+, Zn2+, and Ni2+. Of these, only Cu2+ enhanced the rate of regeneration of RNase activity, although both Cu2+ and Co2+ catalyzed thioloxidation of reduced RNase. The rates and yields of RNase regenerations were independent of protein concentration from 3 X 10(-7) M to 1.2 X 10(-5) M in the glutathione system. Preincubation of freshly dissolved reduced RNase under nonoxidizing conditions before adding glutathione did not change the rate or extent of regeneration. Studies of its pH dependence showed that the glutathione regeneration depends on the deprotonation of prototropic groups with 7.5 less than pK less than 8.0. The major ion exchange chromatographic peaks from glutathione and air-oxidative regenerations appeared to be identical with native RNase, by the criteria of specific activity, chromatographic mobility, and circular dichroic spectra. The glutathione system permits regeneration at much higher RNase concentration than the air regeneration, with rates and yields comparable to the greatest reported for air regeneration. 相似文献

1. Bovine pancreatic ribonuclease is not reduced by GSH at near-physiological concentrations and pH. 2. Disruption of the structure of ribonuclease by proteolytic enzymes leads to products that can be reduced by GSH. 3. At higher temperatures the disulphide bonds of ribonuclease are completely reduced by GSH in a coupled system. The Ttr is 51° and this has been found to be lower than the Ttr for the abnormal tyrosine residues under the same conditions. 相似文献

GSH, but not GSSG, inhibits the reactivation by phosphate ion of ribonuclease activity inactivated by urea or guanidine. The effects of GSH are rather slow and pretreatment of ribonuclease with urea is a requisite for the inhibitory action of GSH on enzyme reactivation. GSH is more effective in urea than in guanidine and its action is greatly enhanced by EDTA. An optimum pH of about 9.0 was found for the inhibitory effect of GSH. Titration of the thiol groups formed after inactivation of ribonuclease by GSH strongly suggests that the reduction of only one disulphide linkage is involved. The reduction of this bond is sufficient to completely abolish the enzymic activity. 相似文献

The compactness of ribonuclease A with intact disulfide bonds and reduced ribonuclease A was investigated by synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering. The Rg values and the Kratky plots showed that non-reduced ribonuclease A maintain a compact shape with a Rg value of about 17.3 Å in 8 M urea. The reduced ribonuclease A is more expanded, its Rg value is about 20 Å in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer at pH 8.1 containing 20 mM DTT. Further expansions of reduced ribonuclease A were observed in the presence of high concentrations of denaturants, indicating that reduced ribonuclease A is more expanded and is in neither a random coil [A. Noppert et al., FEBS Lett. 380 (1996) 179–182] nor a compact denatured state [T.R. Sosnick and J. Trewhella, Biochemistry 31 (1992) 8329–8335]. The four disulfide bonds keep ribonuclease A in a compact state in the presence of high concentrations of urea. 相似文献

Nitrosobenzene (NOB) formed acid labile conjugates with reduced glutathione (GSH) and hemoglobin within red cells. In vitro, NOB rapidly reacted with GSH with formation of phenylhydroxylamine (PH), oxidized glutathione (GSSG), and a water-soluble compound identified as glutathionesulfinanilide (GSO-AN). Free aniline (AN), aminophenols and azoxybenzene were not detected. The proportion of PH formed increased with increasing GSH concentration and at higher pH values. Spectroscopic analysis revealed the formation of a labile adduct following a second order reaction (K = 5 x 10(3) M-1 . sec-1 at pH 7.4 and 37 degrees). This reaction was reversible because nearly all NOB could be extracted with ether from the labile intermediate. On the other hand, the labile intermediate was transformed into GSO-AN (with increasing rate at lower pH values) or it was cleaved by GSH with formation of GSSG and PH. Intermediate formation of NOB and thiol radicals was ruled out by analysis of the equilibrium data. A tentative scheme is presented for the proposed reaction mechanism. 相似文献

Pancreatic ribonuclease from muskrat (Ondatra zibethica) was isolated and its amino acid sequence was determined from tryptic digests of the performic acid-oxidized and the reduced and aminoethylated enzyme. The peptides have been positioned in the sequence by homology with other ribonucleases. This could be done unambiguously for all peptides except Arg-Arg (tentative position 32-33) and Ser-Arg (tentative position 75-76). The amino acid sequences of the peptides were determined by the dansyl-Edman method, with the exception of residues 23-25 and 99-102, which were positioned by homology. The enzyme differs in 38 positions from the enzyme from rat and in 31-42 positions from other mammalian pancreatic ribonucleases, while rat ribonuclease differs at 44-52 positions from the other enzymes. These data point to a common ancestry of the enzymes from muskrat and rat and an increased evolution rate of rat ribonuclease after divergence of the ancestors of both species. Muskrat ribonuclease contains no carbohydrate, although the enzyme possesses a recognition site for carbohydrate attachment in the sequence Asn-Val-Thr (62-64). 相似文献

The intermediates with one, two, three or four disulphide bonds which accumulate during unfolding of native ribonuclease and refolding of the reduced protein have been trapped by rapid alkylation with iodoacetate and separated by ionexchange chromatography. They have been characterized to varying extents by their enzymic activity, electrophoretic mobility through polyacrylamide gels, disulphide bonds between cysteine residues, the environments of the six tyrosine residues as indicated by ultraviolet absorption and fluorescence spectra, interaction with antibodies directed against either the trapped unfolded reduced protein or the native folded protein, and for the disruption by urea of any stable conformation producing a change in molecular shape.Correctly refolded ribonuclease was indistinguishable from the original native protein, but virtually all the intermediates with up to four disulphide bonds formed directly from the reduced protein were enzymically inactive and unfolded by these criteria. Unfolding of native ribonuclease was an all-or-none transition to the fully reduced protein, with no accumulation of disulphide intermediates. The intermediates in refolding are separated from the fully folded state by the highest energy barrier in the folding transition; they may be considered rapidly interconvertible, relatively unstable microstates of the unfolded protein. The measured elements of the final conformation are not acquired during formation of the first three disulphide bonds, but appear simultaneously with formation of the fourth native disulphide bond.These observations with ribonuclease are qualitatively similar to those made previously in greater detail with pancreatic trypsin inhibitor and suggest a possible general pattern for the kinetic process of protein unfolding and refolding. 相似文献

The kinetics of disulphide bond formation in reduced ribonuclease have been determined by following electrophoretically the appearance and disappearance of protein molecules with one, two, three or four intramolecular disulphide bonds. Each successive protein disulphide bond was observed to be formed much less readily than the preceding one, and the resulting species are increasingly unstable to reduction of their disulphide bonds. Most of the species formed directly, even those with four disulphide bonds, do not have the electrophoretic mobility of native protein.Protein molecules apparently refolded correctly are formed by slow intramolecular interconversion of molecules with three disulphide bonds and by thiolcatalyzed interchange of incorrect disulphide bonds in three-or four-disulphide species.These observations are compared with the properties of the folding pathway elucidated for pancreatic trypsin inhibitor under the same conditions and are contrasted with those often envisaged as to how proteins might fold. 相似文献

Dinucleotides containing guanine, when soaked into crystals of bovine pancreatic ribonuclease, have been found to bind in an unexpected manner, quite unlike interpretations of earlier X-ray diffraction studies. This finding has prompted a reexamination of three mononucleotide-RNase complexes from this laboratory resulting in a re-interpretation of the complex that involved a guanine mononucleotide. 相似文献

Mouse pancreatic ribonuclease has been crystallized in a form suitable for X-ray structure determination. The crystals grown from solutions of 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol diffract to high resolution and belong to the hexagonal space group P6(1) (P6(5)) with unit cells dimensions a = b = 64.44 A, c = 53.91 A, y = 120 degrees and V = 1.94 x 10(5) A3 (1 A = 0.1 nm). There are six molecules per unit cell (1 molecule/asymmetric unit), and Vm = 2.3 A3/dalton. 相似文献

Selective reduction of seminal ribonuclease by glutathione 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Incubation of seminal ribonuclease with glutathione leads to the formation of a monomeric species which exhibits twice the specific activity of the native dimer. The monomer was found to possess two mixed disulfides of glutathione at residues 31 and 32, the residues ordinarily involved in the intermolecular disulfide bonds linking the subunits of the native dimer. Formation of the monomer results in only minor changes in the far ultraviolet circular dichroism spectra. The rate of the glutathione-facilitated dissociation reaction is fairly slow, requiring 60 min for completion. Attempts to dimerize the monomer all failed, implying that the dissociation reaction is irreversible. The glutathione reduced monomer was compared with the monomer formed during the regeneration of reduced, denatured bovine seminal ribonuclease in the presence of glutathione. By all criteria examined, the two monomeric forms are identical. It is concluded that the mixed disulfide monomer is the favored form of the enzyme in the presence of glutathione. 相似文献
