柱状田头菇(茶薪菇)金属硫蛋白的分离纯化与特性研究*

应用快速灌注色谱系统首次从经Cd2+诱导的柱状田头菇(茶薪菇)Agrocybecylindracea(DC.:Fr:)R.Maoire菌丝体中分离得到一种镉结合蛋白。通过SephadexG-75凝胶过滤层析,原子吸收光谱分析(AAS),巯基含量测定及紫外吸收光谱分析表明这种镉结合蛋白具有金属硫蛋白(metallothionein,MT)的理化性质:即分子量为6kDa、每分子MT含18个半胱氨酸残基并结合7个镉原子、具有镉硫金属簇的特征紫外吸收光谱,初步鉴定为茶薪菇Cd-MT。     

Influence of chloride ligands on the structure of Zn- and Cd-metallothionein species

It is now commonly accepted that non-proteic ligands contribute to the structure and stability of metal-metallothionein (M-MT) species, although this contribution may differ substantially depending on the MT and the metal ions involved. Conversely, literature data are unconnected, lacking correlation studies between the contribution of inorganic ligands to the M-MT complexes and the corresponding CD and UV-vis fingerprints. To contribute towards filling this gap, we have analyzed the influence of chloride anions in the Zn- and Cd-MT complexes of mammalian MT1 and MT4 isoforms. Starting from the initial hypothesis that the shoulders appearing at 240nm in the UV-vis difference spectra during the Cd(II) titrations of Zn-MTs would be indicative of chloride participation in these metal-MT complexes, we can now propose that, while their absence definitely rules out these ligands being involved in metal coordination, their presence should not necessarily be attributed to the formation of metal-Cl bonds. Instead, we identified a global blue shift for the UV-vis difference spectral envelope as the most liable indication of chloride participation in the binding sites of the M-MT species. Following this criterion, we determined that chloride anions are bound to the Cd(7)-MT1 and Cd(4)-alphaMT1 complexes but not in the isostoichiometric Zn complexes, nor in the Zn- or Cd-complexes of the homologous MT4 peptides.
