Physicochemical properties of a novel Mr-21 000 Ca2+-binding protein of bovine brain.

ABSTRACT: The physicochemical properties of a novel Mr-21 000 Ca2+-binding protein isolated from bovine brain were investigated. The protein exhibited a partial specific volume of 0.724 ml/g, a degree of hydration of 0.47 g of water/g of protein and a mean residue weight of 119. Sedimentation equilibrium analysis revealed Mr = 22 600 in the absence of Ca2+; Ca2+ binding appeared to induce dimerization of the molecule. Size-exclusion chromatography indicated a compacting of the molecule on binding of Ca2+: the Stokes radius decreased from 2.75 nm in the absence of Ca2+ to 2.56 nm in its presence. Far-u.v.c.d. spectroscopy showed the apoprotein to be composed of 44% alpha-helix, 18% beta-pleated sheet and 38% random coil. Addition of either KCl (0.1 M) plus Mg2+ (1 mM), or Ca2+ (2 mM), changed the conformation to 49% alpha-helix, 18% beta-pleated sheet and 33% random coil. Near-u.v.c.d. and u.v. difference spectroscopy both indicated perturbations in the environments of all three types of aromatic amino acids on binding of Ca2+. Ca2+ binding also resulted in a 30% enhancement in the tryptophan fluorescence emission intensity. Ca2+ titration of the far-u.v.c.d. and fluorescence enhancement provided KD values of 9.91 microM and 4.68 microM respectively. Finally, the protein was shown to bind Zn2+ with KD = 1.44 microM (no Mg2+) and 1.82 microM (+ Mg2+). These observations strongly support the possibility that this novel Ca2+-binding protein resembles calmodulin and related Ca2+-binding proteins and undergoes a conformational change on binding of Ca2+ which reflects a physiological role in Ca2+-mediated regulation of brain function.

Ca2+ and Zn2+-binding properties of nitrated S-100b protein from bovine brain.

Project description:The single tyrosine residue in S-100b protein was nitrated by treatment with tetranitromethane in 0.1 M-Tris/HCl buffer, pH 8.0, containing 2 mM-EDTA. The nitrated protein did not differ significantly in secondary structure from its native unmodified counterpart, as revealed by far-u.v. c.d. measurements. The effect of Ca2+ on the modified protein was different from that on the native protein, e.g. addition of Ca2+ resulted in a loss of helical content from 55 to 47% with the native protein whereas Ca2+ had no significant effect on the gross conformation of the nitrated derivative. Near-u.v. c.d. studies also indicated a very minimal effect on the tyrosine residue and this was also reflected in the u.v.-absorption difference spectrum. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in the absence of SDS showed the nitrated S-100b to move faster in the presence of EDTA compared with the calcium-bound state, suggesting that the modified protein does bind Ca2+ although it does not undergo a major conformational change in response to Ca2+ addition. In contradistinction, Zn2+ binding was not influenced by nitration, as demonstrated by aromatic c.d. and u.v.-difference spectroscopy. It is clear from this study that the single tyrosine residue in S-100b is critical to sense the Ca2+-induced conformational changes in the protein.

Effect of Tetraphenylborate on Physicochemical Properties of Bovine Serum Albumin.

Project description:The binding interactions of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with tetraphenylborate ions ([B(Ph)4]-) have been investigated by a set of experimental methods (isothermal titration calorimetry, steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and circular dichroism spectroscopy) and molecular dynamics-based computational approaches. Two sets of structurally distinctive binding sites in BSA were found under the experimental conditions (10 mM cacodylate buffer, pH 7, 298.15 K). The obtained results, supported by the competitive interactions experiments of SDS with [B(Ph)4]- for BSA, enabled us to find the potential binding sites in BSA. The first site is located in the subdomain I A of the protein and binds two [B(Ph)4]- ions (logK(ITC)1 = 7.09 ± 0.10; ΔG(ITC)1 = -9.67 ± 0.14 kcal mol-1; ΔH(ITC)1 = -3.14 ± 0.12 kcal mol-1; TΔS(ITC)1 = -6.53 kcal mol-1), whereas the second site is localized in the subdomain III A and binds five ions (logK(ITC)2 = 5.39 ± 0.06; ΔG(ITC)2 = -7.35 ± 0.09 kcal mol-1; ΔH(ITC)2 = 4.00 ± 0.14 kcal mol-1; TΔS(ITC)2 = 11.3 kcal mol-1). The formation of the {[B(Ph)4]-}-BSA complex results in an increase in the thermal stability of the alfa-helical content, correlating with the saturation of the particular BSA binding sites, thus hindering its thermal unfolding.

The 48 kDa Ca2+-binding protein of bovine brain.

Project description:A Ca2+-binding protein of molecular mass 48 kDa and named 'CAB-48' has been purified from bovine brain 100,000 g supernatant. About 30 mg of CAB-48 was purified from 1 kg of bovine brain. The protein has been characterized with respect to its physical, chemical and Ca2+-binding properties. It has an apparent molecular mass of 48 kDa by SDS/polyacrylamide-gel-electrophoresis and 75.2 kDa from sedimentation-velocity and Stokes-radius data. The acidic nature of the molecule is suggested by its pI of 4.7. In the presence of 3.0 mM-MgCl2 and 150 mM-KCl, CAB-48 binds 1.0 mol of Ca2+/mol of protein with an apparent Kd of 15 microM. A tyrosine protein kinase partially purified from rat spleen catalysed the incorporation of 0.73 mol of phosphate/mol of CAB-48, and phosphoamino acid analysis revealed that phosphorylation of CAB-48 was specific for tyrosine residues.

Ca2+-dependent hydrophobic-interaction chromatography. Isolation of a novel Ca2+-binding protein and protein kinase C from bovine brain.

Project description:Several bovine brain proteins have been found to interact with a hydrophobic chromatography resin (phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B) in a Ca2+-dependent manner. These include calmodulin, the Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) and a novel Ca2+-binding protein that has now been purified to electrophoretic homogeneity. This latter protein is acidic (pI 5.1) and, like calmodulin and some other high-affinity Ca2+-binding proteins, exhibits a Ca2+-dependent mobility shift on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, with an apparent Mr of 22 000 in the absence of Ca2+ and Mr 21 000 in the presence of Ca2+. This novel calciprotein is distinct from known Ca2+-binding proteins on the basis of Mr under denaturing conditions, Cleveland peptide mapping and amino acid composition analysis. It may be a member of the calmodulin superfamily of Ca2+-binding proteins. This calciprotein does not activate two calmodulin-dependent enzymes, namely cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase and myosin light-chain kinase, nor does it have any effect on protein kinase C. It may be a Ca2+-dependent regulatory protein of an as-yet-undefined enzymic activity. The Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase is also readily purified by Ca2+-dependent hydrophobic-interaction chromatography followed by ion-exchange chromatography, during which it is easily separated from calmodulin. A preparation of protein kinase C that lacks contaminating kinase or phosphatase activities is thereby obtained rapidly and simply. Such a preparation is ideal for the study of phosphorylation reactions catalysed in vitro by protein kinase C.

Schiff base containing pyridine groups functionalized water-soluble phthalocyanine: Synthesis, photo-physicochemical properties, and bovine serum albumin binding behavior.

Project description:The novel pyridine bearing schiff base substituted metal-free (9), zinc(II) phthalocyanine (10), and its quaternized derivative (11) were designed and synthesized. These phthalocyanines were fully characterized by spectroscopic methods (FT-IR, UV-Vis, MALDI-TOF, and 1H NMR). The photo-physicochemical properties of these phthalocyanines were investigated in both DMSO and DMF for 10 and in both DMSO and aqueous solution for 11. The addition of pyridine bearing Schiff base groups as peripheral ligands showed an improvement in the photophysical and photochemical properties. In addition, a spectroscopic investigation of the binding behavior of the water-soluble zinc (II) phthalocyanine complex to bovine serum albumin (BSA) was also studied in this work.

Brain mitochondrial drug delivery: influence of drug physicochemical properties.

Project description:To determine the influence of drug physicochemical properties on brain mitochondrial delivery of 20 drugs at physiological pH.The delivery of 8 cationic drugs (beta-blockers), 6 neutral drugs (corticosteroids), and 6 anionic drugs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, NSAIDs) to isolated rat brain mitochondria was determined with and without membrane depolarization. Multiple linear regression was used to determine whether lipophilicity (Log D), charge, polarizability, polar surface area (PSA), and molecular weight influence mitochondrial delivery.The Log D for beta-blockers, corticosteroids, and NSAIDs was in the range of -1.41 to 1.37, 0.72 to 2.97, and -0.98 to 2, respectively. The % mitochondrial uptake increased exponentially with an increase in Log D for each class of drugs, with the uptake at a given lipophilicity obeying the rank order cationic>anionic>neutral. Valinomycin reduced membrane potential and the delivery of positively charged propranolol and betaxolol. The best equation for the combined data set was Log % Uptake?=?0.333 Log D?+?0.157 Charge - 0.887 Log PSA?+?2.032 (R(2)?=?0.738).Drug lipopohilicity, charge, and polar surface area and membrane potential influence mitochondrial drug delivery, with the uptake of positively charged, lipophilic molecules being the most efficient.

Conserved properties of individual Ca2+-binding sites in calmodulin.

Project description:Calmodulin (CaM) is a Ca(2+)-sensing protein that is highly conserved and ubiquitous in eukaryotes. In humans it is a locus of life-threatening cardiomyopathies. The primary function of CaM is to transduce Ca(2+) concentration into cellular signals by binding to a wide range of target proteins in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. We do not fully understand how CaM performs its role as a high-fidelity signal transducer for more than 300 target proteins, but diversity among its four Ca(2+)-binding sites, called EF-hands, may contribute to CaM's functional versatility. We therefore looked at the conservation of CaM sequences over deep evolutionary time, focusing primarily on the four EF-hand motifs. Expanding on previous work, we found that CaM evolves slowly but that its evolutionary rate is substantially faster in fungi. We also found that the four EF-hands have distinguishing biophysical and structural properties that span eukaryotes. These results suggest that all eukaryotes require CaM to decode Ca(2+) signals using four specialized EF-hands, each with specific, conserved traits. In addition, we provide an extensive map of sites associated with target proteins and with human disease and correlate these with evolutionary sequence diversity. Our comprehensive evolutionary analysis provides a basis for understanding the sequence space associated with CaM function and should help guide future work on the relationship between structure, function, and disease.

Effect of Protein Genotypes on Physicochemical Properties and Protein Functionality of Bovine Milk: A Review.

Project description:Milk protein comprises caseins (CNs) and whey proteins, each of which has different genetic variants. Several studies have reported the frequencies of these genetic variants and the effects of variants on milk physicochemical properties and functionality. For example, the C variant and the BC haplotype of αS1-casein (αS1-CN), β-casein (β-CN) B and A1 variants, and κ-casein (κ-CN) B variant, are favourable for rennet coagulation, as well as the B variant of β-lactoglobulin (β-lg). κ-CN is reported to be the only protein influencing acid gel formation, with the AA variant contributing to a firmer acid curd. For heat stability, κ-CN B variant improves the heat resistance of milk at natural pH, and the order of heat stability between phenotypes is BB > AB > AA. The A2 variant of β-CN is more efficient in emulsion formation, but the emulsion stability is lower than the A1 and B variants. Foaming properties of milk with β-lg variant B are better than A, but the differences between β-CN A1 and A2 variants are controversial. Genetic variants of milk proteins also influence milk yield, composition, quality and processability; thus, study of such relationships offers guidance for the selection of targeted genetic variants.

Biogenic Ferrihydrite Nanoparticles Produced by Klebsiella oxytoca: Characterization, Physicochemical Properties and Bovine Serum Albumin Interactions.

Project description:The synthesis of nanoparticles inside microorganisms is an economical alternative to chemical and physical methods of nanoparticle synthesis. In this study, ferrihydrite nanoparticles synthesized by Klebsiella oxytoca bacterium in special conditions were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS), small-angle X-ray (SAXS), UV-Vis spectroscopy, fluorescence, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and molecular docking. The morphology and the structure of the particles were characterized by means of SEM and SAXS. The elemental content was determined by means of the EDS method. The absorption properties of the ferrihydrite nanoparticles were investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The binding mechanism of the biogenic ferrihydrite nanoparticles to Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) protein, studied by fluorescence, showed a static and weak process, combined with FRET. Protein denaturation by temperature and urea in the presence of the ferrihydrite nanoparticles demonstrated their influence on the unfolding process. The AutoDock Vina and UCSF Chimera programs were used to predict the optimal binding site of the ferrihydrite to BSA and to find the location of the hydrophobic cavities in the sub-domain IIA of the BSA structure.

Isolation and characterization of a novel 68,000-Mr Ca2+-binding protein of lymphocyte plasma membrane.

Project description:A 68 000-Mr protein is a major component of a Nonidet P-40-insoluble fraction of lymphocyte plasma membrane prepared from human B lymphoblastoid cells ( BRI 8) and pig mesenteric lymph nodes. The association of the protein with the detergent-insoluble complex depends on free Ca2+ concentrations of greater than 10 microM. The human and pig 68 000-Mr proteins were purified and appear to be homologous on the basis of amino acid composition and peptide mapping. The protein is monomeric, has pI 5.8 and a single high-affinity Ca2+-binding site (KD 1.2 microM). The results are discussed in terms of the possible role of the 68 000-Mr protein as an intracellular Ca2+ receptor in lymphocytes.
