Opis:
Kinetics of guanidine hydrochloride (GdnHCl)-induced unfolding of human prostatic acid phosphatase (hPAP), a homodimer of 50 kDa subunit molecular mass was investigated with enzyme activity measurements, capacity for binding an external hydrophobic probe, 1-anilinonaphtalene-8-sulfonate (ANS), accessibility of thiols to reaction with 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) and 2-(4'-maleimidylanilino)naphthalene-6-sulfonate (MIANS) and ability to bind Congo red dye. Kinetic analysis was performed to describe a possible mechanism of hPAP unfolding and dissociation that leads to generation of an inactive monomeric intermediate that resembles, in solution of 1.25 M GdnHCl pH 7.5, at 20°C, in equilibrium, a molten globule state. The reaction of hPAP inactivation in 1.25 M GdnHCl followed first order kinetics with the reaction rate constant 0.0715 ± 0.0024 min-1 . The rate constants of similar range were found for the pseudo-first-order reactions of ANS and Congo red binding: 0.0366 ± 0.0018 min-1 and 0.0409 ± 0.0052 min-1, respectively. Free thiol groups, inaccessible in the native protein, were gradually becoming, with the progress of unfolding, exposed for the reactions with DTNB and MIANS, with the pseudo-first-order reaction rate constants 0.327 ± 0.014 min-1 and 0.216 ± 0.010 min-1, respectively. The data indicated that in the course of hPAP denaturation exposure of thiol groups to reagents took place faster than the enzyme inactivation and exposure of the protein hydrophobic surface. This suggested the existence of a catalytically active, partially unfolded, but probably dimeric kinetic intermediate in the process of hPAP unfolding. On the other hand, the protein inactivation was accompanied by exposure of a hydrophobic, ANS-binding surface, and with an increased capacity to bind Congo red. Together with previous studies these results suggest that the stability of the catalytically active conformation of the enzyme depends mainly on the dimeric structure of the native hPAP.

Opis:
The non-structural protein 3 (NS3) of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a bifunctional enzyme with RNA-dependent NTPase/RNA helicase and serine protease activities, and thus represents a promising target for anti-HCV therapy. These functions are performed by two distinct moieties; the N-terminal protease domain and the C-terminal helicase domain that further folds into three structural subdomains. To obtain lower molecular mass proteins suitable for nuclear magnetic resonance studies of helicase-inhibitor complexes, helicase domains 1, 2, and 1+2 devoid of a hydrophobic β-loop were overexpressed and purified. Circular dichroism studies were carried out to confirm the secondary structure content and to determine thermodynamic parameters describing the stability of the proteins. Both thermal and GuHCl-induced unfolding experiments confirmed the multidomain organization of the helicase. The unfolding transition observed for domain 1+2 was in agreement with the model of two well-resolved successive steps corresponding to the independent unfolding of domains 1 and 2, respectively. In the case of the full-length helicase, the presence of domain 3 remarkably changed the transition profile, leading to fast and irreversible transformation of partially unfolded protein.

Opis:
Protein adsorption on solid surfaces is a widespread phenomenon of large biological and biotechnological significance. Conformational changes are likely to accompany protein adsorption, but are difficult to evidence directly. Nevertheless they have important consequences, since the partial unfolding of protein domains can expose hitherto hidden amino acids. This remodeling of the protein surface can trigger the activation of molecular complexes such as the blood coagulation cascade or the innate immune complement system. In the case of extracellular matrix, it can also change the way cells interact with the material surfaces and result in modified cell behavior. In this review, we present direct and indirect evidences that support the view that some proteins change their conformation upon adsorption. We also show that both physical and chemical methods are needed to study the extent and kinetics of protein conformational changes. In particular, AFM techniques and cryo-electron microscopy provide useful and complementary information. We then review the chemical and topological features of both proteins and material surfaces in relation with protein adsorption. Mutating key amino acids in proteins changes their stability and this is related to material-induced conformational changes, as shown for instance with insulin. In addition, combinatorial methods should provide valuable information about peptide or antibody adsorption on well-defined material surfaces. These techniques could be combined with molecular modeling methods to decipher the rules governing conformational changes associated with protein adsorption.
