Paramagnetic relaxation enhancements (PRE) present a powerful source of structural information in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies of proteins and protein–ligand complexes. In contrast to conventional PRE reagents that are covalently attached to the protein, the complex between gadolinium and three dipicolinic acid (DPA) molecules, [Gd(DPA)3]3?, can bind to proteins in a non-covalent yet site-specific manner. This offers straightforward access to PREs that can be scaled by using different ratios of [Gd(DPA)3]3? to protein, allowing quantitative distance measurements for nuclear spins within about 15 Å of the Gd3+ ion. Such data accurately define the metal position relative to the protein, greatly enhancing the interpretation of pseudocontact shifts induced by [Ln(DPA)3]3? complexes of paramagnetic lanthanide (Ln3+) ions other than gadolinium. As an example we studied the quaternary structure of the homodimeric GCN4 leucine zipper. 相似文献

Electrospray ionisation (ESI) mass spectrometry was used to examine the reactions of the clinically used antiarthritic agent [Au(S2O3)2]3−, and AuPEt3Cl, a derivative of another clinically used agent auranofin, with human serum albumin (HSA) obtained from a human volunteer. Both compounds reacted readily with HSA to form complexes containing one or more covalently attached gold fragments. In the case of AuPEt3Cl, binding was accompanied by the loss of the chloride ligand, while for [Au(S2O3)2]3− the mass spectral data indicated binding of Au(S2O3) groups. Experiments performed using HSA with Cys34 blocked by reaction with iodoacetamide were consistent with reaction of both gold compounds with this amino acid. Separate blocking experiments using diethylpyrocarbonate and AuPEt3Cl also provided evidence for histidine residues acting as lower-affinity binding sites for this gold compound. ESI mass spectra of solutions containing [Au(S2O3)2]3− or [Au(CN)2]−, and HSA, provided evidence for the formation of protein complexes in which intact gold molecules were non-covalently bound. In the case of [Au(S2O3)2]3−, these non-covalent complexes proved to be transitory in nature. However, for [Au(CN)2]− a non-covalent complex containing a single gold molecule bound to HSA was found to be stable, and constituted the main adduct formed in solutions containing low-to-medium Au-to-HSA ratios. Evidence was also obtained for the formation of a covalent adduct in which a single Au(CN) moiety was bonded to Cys34 of the protein. AuPEt3Cl reacted to a much lower extent with HSA that had Cys34 modified by formation of a disulfide bond to added cysteine, than with unmodified HSA. This suggests that the extent of modification of the protein in vivo may have an important influence on the transport and bioavailability of gold antiarthritic drugs.Electronic Supplementary Material Supplementary material is available for this article at and is accessible for authorized users. 相似文献

Substituted cysteine accessibility mutagenesis (SCAM) has been used widely to identify pore-lining amino acid side chains
in ion channel proteins. However, functional effects on permeation and gating can be difficult to separate, leading to uncertainty
concerning the location of reactive cysteine side chains. We have combined SCAM with investigation of the charge-dependent
effects of methanethiosulfonate (MTS) reagents on the functional permeation properties of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance
regulator (CFTR) Cl– channels. We find that cysteines substituted for seven out of 21 continuous amino acids in the eleventh and twelfth transmembrane
(TM) regions can be modified by external application of positively charged [2-(trimethylammonium)ethyl] MTS bromide (MTSET)
and negatively charged sodium [2-sulfonatoethyl] MTS (MTSES). Modification of these cysteines leads to changes in the open
channel current–voltage relationship at both the macroscopic and single-channel current levels that reflect specific, charge-dependent
effects on the rate of Cl− permeation through the channel from the external solution. This approach therefore identifies amino acid side chains that
lie within the permeation pathway. Cysteine mutagenesis of pore-lining residues also affects intrapore anion binding and anion
selectivity, giving more information regarding the roles of these residues. Our results demonstrate a straightforward method
of screening for pore-lining amino acids in ion channels. We suggest that TM11 contributes to the CFTR pore and that the extracellular
loop between TMs 11 and 12 lies close to the outer mouth of the pore. 相似文献

TRPM3 has been reported to play an important role in Ca2+ homeostasis, but its gating mechanisms and regulation via Ca2+ are unknown. Ca2+ binding proteins such as calmodulin (CaM) could be probable modulators of this ion channel. We have shown that this protein binds to two independent domains, A35-K124 and H291-G382 on the TRPM3 N-terminus, which contain conserved hydrophobic as well as positively charged residues in specific positions, and that these residues have a crucial impact on its binding. We also showed that another Ca2+ binding protein, S100A1, is able to bind to these regions and that CaM and S100A1 compete for these binding sites on the TRPM3 N-terminus. Moreover, our results suggest that another very important TRP channel activity modulator, PtdIns(4,5)P2, interacts with the CaM/S100A1 binding sites on the TRPM3 N-terminus with high affinity. 相似文献

Interactions of charged peptides, such as aspartic acid peptides (Aspptds) and lysine peptides (Lysptds), with cytochrome
c (cyt c) or plastocyanin (PC) have been studied by measuring electron transfer between [Fe(CN)6]4– and cyt c or PC in the presence of these peptides. Aspptds, up to penta-aspartic acid, served as competitive inhibitors of electron transfer from [Fe(CN)6]4– to oxidized cyt c, while Lysptds, up to penta-lysine, promoted electron transfer from [Fe(CN)6]4– to oxidized PC. The electron transfer inhibitory effects of Aspptds are explained as competitive inhibition due to neutralization
of the positively charged amino acid residues at the surface of cyt c by electrostatic interactions, whereas the electron transfer promoting effects of Lysptds may be due to formation of PC·Lysptd
or Lysptd·[Fe(CN)6]4– complexes subsequently forming an electron transferring complex, PC·Lysptd·[Fe(CN)6]4–, without repulsion of the negative charges. The inhibitory effect of Aspptds and promotional effect of Lysptds became significant
as the net charge or concentration of the peptides increased. The promotional effects of Lysptds decreased as the net charge
of the PC negative patch was decreased by mutagenesis. Thus, charged peptides may serve as a probe for investigation of the
molecular recognition character of proteins.

A pyridine‐diacylhydrazone Schiff base ligand, L = 2,6‐bis[(3‐methoxy benzylidene)hydrazinocarbonyl]pyridine was prepared and characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction. Lanthanide complexes, Ln–L, {[LnL(NO3)2]NO3.xH2O (Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy and Er)} were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, thermal analysis (TGA/DTGA), mass spectrometry (MS), Fourier transform infra‐red (FT‐IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Ln–L complexes are isostructural with four binding sites provided by two nitro groups along with four coordination sites for L. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations on L and its cationic [LnL(NO3)2]+ complexes were carried out at the B3LYP/6–31G(d) level of theory. The FT‐IR vibrational wavenumbers were computed and compared with the experimentally values. The luminescence investigations of L and Ln–L indicated that Tb–L and Eu–L complexes showed the characteristic luminescence of Tb(III) and Eu(III) ions. Ln–L complexes show higher antioxidant activity than the parent L ligand. 相似文献

The effects of solvated ions on the thermal denaturation of human serum albumin (HAS) in water-dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) solutions
were studied by the method of electron absorption spectroscopy. It was shown that depending on the DMSO concentration, electrolytes
(LiCl, LiNO3, LiClO4, NaCl, and NaNO3) contained in these solutions were characterized by different anion and cation solvation degrees: unlike cations, anions
were only negligibly solvated, which affected HAS thermal denaturation. Electrostatic interactions between anions and positively
charged amino acid residues supporting protein denaturation subsided in the line Cl− > NO3− > ClO4−. 相似文献

The ASPP interaction network: electrostatic differentiation between pro‐ and anti‐apoptotic proteins
The ASPP proteins are apoptosis regulators: ASPP1 and ASPP2 promote, while iASPP inhibits, apoptosis. The mechanism by which these different outcomes are achieved is still unknown. The C‐terminal ankyrin repeats and SH3 domain (ANK‐SH3) mediate the interactions of the ASPP proteins with major apoptosis regulators such as p53, Bcl‐2, and NFκB. The structure of the complex between ASPP2ANK‐SH3 and the core domain of p53 (p53CD) was previously determined. We have recently characterized the individual interactions of ASPP2ANK‐SH3 with Bcl‐2 and NFκB, as well as a regulatory intramolecular interaction with the proline rich domain of ASPP2. Here we compared the ASPP interactions at two levels: ASPP2ANK‐SH3 with different proteins, and different ASPP family members with each protein partner. We found that the binding sites of ASPP2 to p53CD, Bcl‐2, and NFκB are different, yet lie on the same face of ASPP2ANK‐SH3. The intramolecular binding site to the proline rich domain overlaps the three intermolecular binding sites. To reveal the basis of functional diversity in the ASPP family, we compared their protein‐binding domains. A subset of surface‐exposed residues differentiates ASPP1 and ASPP2 from iASPP: ASPP1/2 are more negatively charged in specific residues that contact positively charged residues of p53CD, Bcl‐2, and NFκB. We also found a gain of positive charge at the non‐protein binding face of ASPP1/2, suggesting a role in electrostatic direction towards the negatively charged protein binding face. The electrostatic differences in binding interfaces between the ASPP proteins may be one of the causes for their different function. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

A series of metallopeptides based on the amino terminal copper/nickel (ATCUN) binding motif have been evaluated as classical inhibitors and catalytic inactivators of both rabbit and human angiotensin-converting enzyme (hACE), and human endothelin-converting enzyme 1 (hECE-1). The cobalt complex [KGHK–Co(NH3)2]2+, where KGHK is lysylglycylhistidyllysine, displayed similar K
I and IC50 values to those found for [KGHK–Cu]+, in spite of the enhanced charge, and so either the influence of charge is offset by the steric influence of the axially coordinated ammine ligands, or binding is dominated by contributions from the amino acid side chains, especially the C-terminal lysine that mimics the binding pattern observed for lisinopril. Moreover, the inhibition observed for [KGHK–Co(NH3)2]2+ contrasts with the activation of hACE by Co2+(aq), reflecting the stimulation of enzyme activity following replacement of the catalytic zinc cofactor by cobalt ion at each of the two active sites. Quantitative analysis of the dose-dependent stimulation of activity by Co2+(aq) yielded apparent affinities of 1.3 ± 0.2 and 56 ± 8 μM for the two sites in the presence of saturating Zn2+ (10 μM). Catalytic inactivation of hACE by [KGHK–Cu] + at subsaturating concentrations had previously been characterized, with k
obs = 2.9 ± 0.5 × 10−2 min−1. Under similar conditions, the same complex is found to catalytically inactivate hECE-1, with k
obs = 2.12 ± 0.16 × 10−2 min−1, demonstrating the potential for dual-action activity against two key drug targets in cardiovascular disease. Irreversible inactivation of a drug target represents a novel mechanism of drug action that complements existing classical inhibitor strategies that underlie current drug discovery efforts.Electronic Supplementary Material Supplementary material is available to authorized users in the online version of this article at . 相似文献

A low cost biosorbent, Corynebacterium glutamicum, was studied for the sorption of Reactive Red 4 (RR 4) and Methylene Blue (MB). The equilibrium isotherm data were well described
by the Langmuir model. pH edge experiments showed that pH of the solution was an important controlling parameter in the sorption
process. In the case of RR 4, with increases in the pH from 2 to 10, the uptake decreased from 52 to 1 mg/g; conversely, the
uptake of MB increased and the maximum MB uptake was obtained at pH ≥ 9. An increase in the salt concentration strongly influenced
the uptake of MB, but had no effect on that of RR 4. In order to identify the binding sites for the dye molecules, the biosorbent
was potentiometrically titrated, the results of which showed the presents of four major functional group types on the biomass
surface, which were confirmed by FTIR analysis. It was found that positively charged amine groups (Biomass-NH3
+) were the likely binding sites for anionic RR 4, and negatively charged carboxyl (Biomass-COO−) and phosphate groups (Biomass-HPO4
−) played a role in the electrostatic attraction of cationic MB. 相似文献

The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl− channel pore is thought to contain multiple binding sites for permeant and impermeant anions. Here, we investigate the effects
of mutation of different positively charged residues in the pore on current inhibition by impermeant Pt(NO2)42− and suramin anions. We show that mutations that remove positive charges (K95, R303) influence interactions with intracellular,
but not extracellular, Pt(NO2)42− ions, consistent with these residues being situated within the pore inner vestibule. In contrast, mutation of R334, supposedly
located in the outer vestibule of the pore, affects block by both extracellular and intracellular Pt(NO2)42−. Inhibition by extracellular Pt(NO2)42− requires a positive charge at position 334, consistent with a direct electrostatic interaction resulting in either open channel
block or surface charge screening. In contrast, inhibition by intracellular Pt(NO2)42− is weakened in all R334-mutant forms of the channel studied, inconsistent with a direct interaction. Furthermore, mutation
of R334 had similar effects on block by intracellular suramin, a large organic molecule that is apparently unable to enter
deeply into the channel pore. Mutation of R334 altered interactions between intracellular Pt(NO2)42− and extracellular Cl− but not those between intracellular Pt(NO2)42− and extracellular Pt(NO2)42−. We propose that while the positive charge of R334 interacts directly with extracellular anions, mutation of this residue
also alters interactions with intracellular anions by an indirect mechanism, due to mutation-induced conformational changes
in the protein that are propagated some distance from the site of the mutation in the outer mouth of the pore. 相似文献

The transport kinetics of lanthanide species in a single erythrocyte probed by confocal laser scanning microscopy 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

A novel method has been developed to visualize and follow the temporal course of lanthanide transport across the membrane
into a single living erythrocyte. By means of confocal scanning microscopy and the optical section technique, the entry of
lanthanide ions was followed by the fluorescence quenching of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled membrane and cytosol.
From the difference of the quenching kinetics of the whole section and the central area, the time for diffusion through the
membrane and the diffusion in the extracellular and intracellular media can be deduced. To clarify the mechanism of lanthanide-induced
fluorescence quenching of FITC-labeled erythrocytes and to ensure that this reaction can be used in this method, the reaction
was investigated by steady-state fluorescence techniques. The results showed that the lanthanides strongly quenched the florescence
emitted by FITC covalently bound to membrane proteins and cytosolic proteins. The static quenching mechanism is responsible
for the fluorescence quenching of FITC-labeled proteins by Ln species. The quenching mechanism is discussed on the basis of
complex formation. The dependence of fluorescence quenching on both ion size and the total orbital angular momentum L supports the complexation mechanism. The transport time across the membrane is strikingly correlated with Ln species and
extracellular concentration. For a given concentration, the transport time of [Ln(cit)2]3– is much shorter than that of Ln3+, since they enter the cells via the anion channel. This is supported by the inhibition effect of 4,4′-diisothiocyanato-2,2′-stilbenendisulfonate
on the transport of [Ln(cit)2]3–. On the other hand, the transport of free Ln3+ might be attributed to the enhanced permeability of erythrocytes owing to Ln3+ binding. These findings strongly demonstrate the existence of the non-internalization mechanism of Ln species uptake by erythrocytes.

The impact of seawater saturation state and bicarbonate ion concentration on calcification by new recruits of two Atlantic corals 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Rising concentrations of atmospheric CO2 are changing the carbonate chemistry of the oceans, a process known as ocean acidification (OA). Absorption of this CO2 by the surface oceans is increasing the amount of total dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and bicarbonate ion (HCO3
−) available for marine calcification yet is simultaneously lowering the seawater pH and carbonate ion concentration ([CO3
2−]), and thus the saturation state of seawater with respect to aragonite (Ωar). We investigated the relative importance of [HCO3
−] versus [CO3
2−] for early calcification by new recruits (primary polyps settled from zooxanthellate larvae) of two tropical coral species,
Favia fragum and Porites astreoides. The polyps were reared over a range of Ωar values, which were manipulated by both acid-addition at constant pCO2 (decreased total [HCO3
−] and [CO3
2−]) and by pCO2 elevation at constant alkalinity (increased [HCO3
−], decreased [CO3
2−]). Calcification after 2 weeks was quantified by weighing the complete skeleton (corallite) accreted by each polyp over the
course of the experiment. Both species exhibited the same negative response to decreasing [CO3
2−] whether Ωar was lowered by acid-addition or by pCO2 elevation—calcification did not follow total DIC or [HCO3
−]. Nevertheless, the calcification response to decreasing [CO3
2−] was nonlinear. A statistically significant decrease in calcification was only detected between Ωar = <2.5 and Ωar = 1.1–1.5, where calcification of new recruits was reduced by 22–37% per 1.0 decrease in Ωar. Our results differ from many previous studies that report a linear coral calcification response to OA, and from those showing
that calcification increases with increasing [HCO3
−]. Clearly, the coral calcification response to OA is variable and complex. A deeper understanding of the biomineralization
mechanisms and environmental conditions underlying these variable responses is needed to support informed predictions about
future OA impacts on corals and coral reefs. 相似文献

Hyperthermia induces transient changes in [Na+]
i
and [K+]
i
in mammalian cells. Since Cl− flux is coupled with Na+ and K+ in several processes, including cell volume control, we have measured the effects of heat on [Cl−]
i
using the chloride indicator, MQAE, with flow cytometry. The mean basal level of [Cl−]
i
in Chinese hamster ovary cells was 12 mm. Cells heated at 42.0° or 45.0°C for 30 min had about a 2.5-fold increase in [Cl−]
i
above unheated control values when measured immediately after heating. There was about a 3-fold decrease in [Na+]
i
under the same conditions, as measured by Sodium Green. The magnitude of the increase in [Cl−]
i
depended upon time and temperature. The [Cl−]
i
recovered in a time-dependent fashion to control values by 30 min after heating. When cells were heated at 45.0°C for 30
min in the presence of 1.5 mm furosemide, the heat-induced [Cl−]
i
increase was completely blocked. Since furosemide inhibits the Na+/K+/2Cl− cotransporter, Cl− channels, and even Cl−HCO3 exchange, these ion transporters may be involved in the heat-induced increase in [Cl−]

The present in vitro study was designed to examine the antioxidative activity of red cabbage anthocyanins (ATH) in the protection of blood plasma
proteins and lipids against damage induced by oxidative stress. Fresh leaves of red cabbage were extracted with a mixture
of methanol/distilled water/0.01% HCl (MeOH/H2O/HCl, 50/50/1, v/v/w). Total ATH concentration [μM] was determined with cyanidin 3-glucoside as a standard. Phenolic profiles
in the crude red cabbage extract were determined using the HPLC method. Plasma samples were exposed to 100 μM peroxynitrite
(ONOO−) or 2 mM hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the presence/absence of ATH extract (5–15 μM); oxidative alterations were then assessed. Pre-incubation of plasma with
ATH extract partly reduced oxidative stress in plasma proteins and lipids. Dose-dependent reduction of both ONOO− and H2O2-mediated plasma protein carbonylation was observed. ATH extract partly inhibited the nitrative action of ONOO−, and significantly decreased plasma lipid peroxidation caused by ONOO− or H2O2. Our results demonstrate that anthocyanins present in red cabbage have inhibitory effects on ONOO− and H2O2-induced oxidative stress in blood plasma components. We suggest that red cabbage ATH, as dietary antioxidants, should be
considered as potentially usable nutraceuticals in the prevention of oxidative stress-related diseases. 相似文献

LowK
m GTPase activity was studied in the purified membranes from theLymnaea stagnalis CNS. Stimulation of GTPase activity of G proteins by dopamine in membrane preparations is transient; it is followed by reduction
of the activity. Magnesium ions regulate activity of G proteins; thus, the value of [Mg2+]
i
is an important factor to be taken into account in investigations of functioning of G proteins. In order to determine the
mean physiological level of the neuronal [Mg2+]
i
, neuronal elements of the molluscan CNS were separated from other cell types. The values of 1.16±0.19 and 1.49±0.08 mM were
obtained for [Mg2+]
i
of the neuronal cells with Mag-fura-2 and Mag-fura-red, respectively. An inhibitory effect of dopamine was displayed within
the range of free Mg2+ concentrations from 3 μM to 3 mM. GTPase activity was stimulated with Na+ in a dose-dependent manner. However, GTPase activity became independent of Na+ in the presence of dopamine. Replacing of ATP by 5′-adenylyl imidodiphosphate suppressed the inhibitory effect of dopamine,
but did not completely prevent the dopamine influence. The effect of dopamine was dose-dependent and did not decrease after
PTX treatment. The inhibitory influence of dopamine on the GTPase activity was reversed by a selective antagonist of the dopamine
D2 receptors, S(−)-sulpiride. 相似文献

The Na+/HCO3
− cotransporter is the main system that mediates bicarbonate removal out of the proximal tubule cell into the blood. We have
previously partially purified this protein and showed that chemical modification of the α-amino groups by fluorescein isothiocyanate
(FITC) inhibited the activity of the Na+/HCO3
− cotransporter. The inhibition was prevented by the presence of Na and bicarbonate suggesting that this compound binds at
or near the substrate transport sites of the cotransporter. We examined the effect of agents that modify the sulfhydryl group
(dithiothreitol), carboxyl groups (n-n′dicyclohexyl carbodiimide) and tyrosine residues (p-nitrobenzene sulfonyl fluoride, n-acetyl imidazole and tetranitromethane) on the activity of the cotransporter to gain insight into the chemical residues which
may be important for transport function. The sulfhydryl residues modifier, carboxyl group modifier, and tyrosine modifier
significantly inhibited bicarbonate dependent 22Na uptake in basolateral membranes by 50–70% without altering the 22Na uptake in the presence of gluconate indicating that these agents directly affected the cotransporter without affecting
diffusive sodium uptake. The effect of the tyrosine modifier n-acetylimidazole was not prevented by the presence of Na and bicarbonate suggesting that the tyrosine residues are not at
the substrate binding sites. To determine the presence and role of glycosylation on the Na+/HCO3
− cotransporter protein, we examined the effects of different glycosidases (endoglycosidase F and H, N-glycosidase F, O-glycanase) on the cotransporter activity. All glycosidases caused a significant 50–80% inhibition of cotransporter
activity. These data demonstrate that N-glycosylation as well as O-glycosylation are important for the function of the Na+/HCO3
− cotransporter protein. Taken together, these results suggest that chemical modifiers of tyrosine, carboxyl and sulfhydryl
groups as well as glycosylation are important for expression of full functional activity of the cotransporter.

Binding of small ligands to globular proteins remains a major research topic in biophysics. We have studied the binding of
several photoactive dyes to β-lactoglobulin (BLG), as a model to investigate the photoinduced effects of porphyrins on proteins. A combination of optical
spectroscopies (fluorescence, circular dichroism) and molecular docking simulations were used to estimate the pH-dependence
of the binding parameters and the docking location for meso-tetrakis(sulfonatophenyl)-porphyrin (TPPS). We have observed that
the binding of TPPS is not modulated by the pH-mediated conformational transition of the protein (i.e., Tanford transition).
Binding of TPPS appears to occur with some degree of negative cooperativity. Moreover, TPPS remains bound even upon partial
denaturation of the protein. These results are consistent with a superficial binding site at a location removed from the aperture
of the interior β-barrel. Binding occurs through electrostatic interactions between the negative SO3
− groups of TPPS and positively charged Lys and Arg residues. This is the first study that explores the interaction of an anionic
porphyrin with BLGA in a pH range that spans across the Tanford transition. Establishing the location of the binding site
will enable us to explain the photoinduced conformational effects mediated by TPPS on BLG.

Noncovalent DIDS binding to Band 3 (AE1) protein in human erythrocyte membranes, modified by non-penetrating, water soluble
1-ethyl-3-(4-azonia-4,4-dimethylpentyl)-carbodiimide iodide (EAC), was studied at 0°C in the presence of 165 mM KCl. Under
experimental conditions applied up to (48 ± 5) % of irreversible chloride self-exchange inhibition was observed. The apparent
dissociation constant, KD, for “DIDS-Band 3” complex, determined from the chloride transport experiments, was (34 ± 3) nM
and (80 ± 12) nM for control and EAC-treated resealed ghosts, respectively. The inhibition constant, Ki, for DIDS was (35
± 6) nM and (60 ± 8) nM in control and EAC-treated ghosts, respectively. The reduced affinity for DIDS reversible binding
was not a result of negative cooperativity of DIDS binding sites of Band 3 oligomer since Hill’s coefficients were indistinguishable
from 1 (within the limit error) both for control and EAC-treated ghosts. By using tritium-labeled DIDS, 4,4’-diisothiocyanato-2,2’-stilbenedisulfonate
([3H]DIDS), the association rate constant, k+1 (M−1s−1), was measured. The mean values of (4.3 ± 0.7) × 105 M−1s−1 for control and (2.7 ± 0.7) × 105 M−1s−1 for EAC-treated ghosts were obtained. The mean values for KD, evaluated from [3H]DIDS binding measurements, were (37 ± 9) nM and (90 ± 21) nM for control and EAC-modified ghosts, respectively. The results
demonstrate that EAC modification of AE1 reduces about 2-fold the affinity of AE1 for DIDS. It is suggested that half of the
subunits are modified near the transport site by EAC. 相似文献
