The location of the thiol groups of myosin that are protected by pyrophosphate against reaction with 2,4-dinitrophenyl -hydroxyethyl disulphide.

ABSTRACT: Myosin modified in the presence or in the absence of pyrophosphate by 2,4-dinitrophenyl beta-hydroxyethyl disulphide was treated with iodo[1-(14)C]acetamide. The residual Ca(2+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity of the modified myosin was different depending on the presence or absence of PP(i) during modification and the number of 2,4-dinitrophenyl beta-hydroxyethyl disulphide-modified thiol groups. The radioactivity incorporated into the light components of myosin correlated with the Ca(2+)-stimulated ATPase activity of the modified myosin and decreased with decreasing residual Ca(2+)-stimulated ATPase activity of the modified myosin. When native myosin was treated with low concentrations of iodo[1-(14)C]acetamide the residual Ca(2+)-stimulated ATPase activity of carboxyamidomethylated myosin was high and the radioactivity incorporated into the light components of myosin was negligible. The thiol groups of the light components of myosin are essential to preserve the ATPase activity of the protein and are close to the pyrophosphate-binding sites.

Thiol and disulphide contents of hen ovalbumin. C-terminal sequence and location of disulphide bond.

Project description:1. The thiol and disulphide contents of hen ovalbumin were investigated by p-chloromercuribenzoate titration, by determination of cysteic acid content after performic acid oxidation, by measurement of uptake of radioactive iodoacetic acid, and by assay of S-aminoethylcysteine after reaction with ethyleneimine. All results showed that ovalbumin had 6 half-cystine residues. Experiments with and without reducing agents demonstrated that there were 4 thiol groups and 1 disulphide bond. 2. A peptide containing equimolar amounts of S-carboxymethyl-cysteine, serine, valine and proline, but no lysine or arginine, was obtained by radioactive labelling of the cysteine residues with iodo[(14)C]acetic acid followed by electrophoretic and chromatographic separation of tryptic digests. It was concluded that the C-terminal sequence of ovalbumin is -Cys-Val-Ser-Pro. 3. The location of the disulphide bond was studied by using a double-labelling technique. It was shown that one end of the disulphide was located in this C-terminal peptide.

Glucose- and phlorrhizin-protected thiol groups in pig intestinal brush-border membranes.

Project description:Purified brush borders, prepared fro newborn pig intestine, were incubated in the presence of 203Hg-labelled p-chloromercuribenzenesulphonic acid and the membrane proteins later separated by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The presence of either D-glucose or phlorrhizin, during a preliminary incubation in non-radioactive p-chloromercuribenzenesulphonic acid, increased the subsequent binding of the 203Hg-labelled compound to a protein of molecular weight 31500. This increase appeared to be specific for the low-molecular-weight protein, provided that the concentration of protecting agent used corresponded to that used to produce a biological response in the intact tissue. These results are discussed in relation to the known properties of other presumptive sugar carriers isolated from different membranes.

Metal-Free Photoredox Catalyzed Cyclization of O-(2,4-Dinitrophenyl)oximes to Phenanthridines.

Project description:A metal-free visible-light photoredox-catalyzed intermolecular cyclization reaction of O-2,4-dinitrophenyl oximes to phenanthridines was developed. In this study, the organic dye eosin Y and i-Pr₂NEt were used as photocatalyst and terminal reductant, respectively. The oxime substrates were transformed into iminyl radical intermediates by single-electron reduction, which then underwent intermolecular homolytic aromatic substitution (HAS) reactions to give phenanthridine derivatives.

Deprotonated N-(2,4-Dinitrophenyl)amino Acids Undergo Cyclization in Solution and the Gas Phase.

Project description:The collisionally activated mass spectral fragmentations of N-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)alanine and phenylalanine [M - H](-) may be gas-phase analogs of the base-catalyzed cyclization of N-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)amino acids in aqueous dioxane. This latter reaction is one source of the 2-substituted 5-nitro-1H-benzimidazole-3-oxides, which are antibacterial agents. The fragmentation of both compounds, established by tandem mass spectrometric experiments and supported by molecular modeling using DFT methods, indicate that the [M - H](-) ions dissociate via sequential eliminations of CO(2) and H(2)O to produce deprotonated benzimidazole-N-oxide derivatives. The gas-phase cyclization reactions are analogous to the base-catalyzed cyclization in solution, except that in the latter case, the reactant must be a dianion for the reaction to occur on a reasonable time scale. The cyclization of N-(2-nitrophenyl)phenylalanine, which has one less nitro group, requires a stronger base for the cyclization than the compound with a second nitro group at the 4-position. Following losses of CO(2) and H(2)O are expulsions of both neutral molecules and free radicals, the latter being examples of violations of the even-electron ion rule.

The accessibility of protein-bound dinitrophenyl groups to univalent fragments of anti-dinitrophenyl antibody.

Project description:A series of N-(N-dinitrophenylaminoalkyl)maleimides were sythesized with alkyl-chain lengths of two, four and six carbon atoms. When these compounds reacted with the thiol group of mercaptalbumin, the tryptophan fluorescence of the protein was quenched. This change in fluorescence was used to determine the rate of reaction of the Dnp (dinitrophenyl)-maleimides with mercaptalbumin. The second-order rate constants were similar to those observed in reactions between low-molecular-weight thiol compounds and maleimides. When N-(N-Dnp-aminoalkyl)succinimidomercaptalbumins were added to univalent fragments of anti-Dnp antibody the antibody fluorescence was quenched. Florescence-quenching titrations showed that the protein-bound Dnp groups were fully available to the antibody even when the alkyl chain was short. The apparent dissociation constants were significantly greater than that of the interaction between anti-Dnp antibody and the free hapten, 6-(N-Dnp)-aminohexanoate. The antibody fluorescence was quenched efficienty by [dnp-Lys41]ribonuclease A, also with an increased dissociation constant. It could be concluded from the increase in dissociation constant that the Dnp group spent no more than 0.1% of its time in the dissociated state, available to antibody. The second-order rate constants for the association between the Dnp-mercaptablumins and the antibody were determined and were similar in magnitude to those observed in other interactions between protein and anti-protein antibody.

Dithiol-Induced Oligomerization of Thiol-Protected Gold Nanoclusters.

Project description:Controlled synthesis of nanostructure oligomers requires detailed understanding of their wet chemistry and the forces driving the polymerization process. In this paper, we report the main factors affecting the reaction yields of a dithiol-induced synthesis of covalently bound nanocluster dimers and oligomers and present a detailed analysis of possible reaction mechanisms. We synthesize the nanocluster oligomers using monodisperse para-mercaptobenzoic acid (p-MBA)-protected gold nanoclusters with a nominal composition of Au?250(p-MBA) n to minimize ensemble effects on size, shape, and surface structure. Ligand exchange was performed on the nanoclusters with five different dithiol linkers: 5,5'-bis(mercaptomethyl)-2,2'-bipyridine, 4,4?-thiobisbenzenethiol, benzene-1,4-dithiol, 1,4-benzenedimethanethiol, and dimercaptostilbene. Oligomer yields depend strongly on the used dithiol and on the dithiol-to-nanocluster ratio. Detailed analysis of the reaction yields in combination with simulations suggests that the system reaches a dynamic equilibrium, where ligand exchange happens continuously forming and breaking nanocluster oligomers that are bound together by short chains of disulfide-bridged dithiols. Despite the dynamic nature of the system, dithiol-induced polymerization of nanoclusters is a general and straightforward approach to produce dimers and larger oligomers of thiol-protected nanoclusters. Our work provides physical insight into, offers tools for, and reveals challenges in the controlled synthesis of covalently bound nanoparticle assemblies.

Thiol-disulphide independent in-cell trapping for the identification of peroxiredoxin 2 interactors.

Project description:Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) acts as a signalling molecule by oxidising cysteine thiols in proteins. Recent evidence has established a role for cytosolic peroxiredoxins in transmitting H2O2-based oxidation to a multitude of target proteins. Moreover, it is becoming clear that peroxiredoxins fulfil their function in organised microdomains, where not all interactors are covalently bound. However, most studies aimed at identifying peroxiredoxin interactors were based on methods that only detect covalently linked partners. Here, we explore the applicability of two thiol-disulphide independent in-cell trapping methodological approaches in combination with mass spectrometry for the identification of interaction partners of peroxiredoxin 2 (Prdx2). The first is biotin-dependent proximity-labelling (BioID) with a biotin ligase A (BirA*)-fused Prdx2, which has never been applied on redox-active proteins. The second is crosslinker co-immunoprecipitation with an N-terminally His-tagged Prdx2. During the initial characterisation of the tagged Prdx2 constructs, we found that the His-tag, but not BirA*, compromises the peroxidase and signalling activities of Prdx2. Further, the Prdx2 interactors identified with each approach showed little overlap. We therefore concluded that BioID is a more reliable method than crosslinker co-immunoprecipitation. After a stringent mass spec data filtering, BioID identified 13 interactors under elevated H2O2 conditions, including subunit five of the COP9 signalosome complex (CSN5). The Prdx2:CSN5 interaction was further confirmed in a proximity ligation assay. Taken together, our results demonstrate that BioID can be used as a method for the identification of interactors of Prdxs, and that caution should be exercised when interpreting protein-protein interaction results using tagged Prdxs.

The thiol groups of mouse immunoglobulin A. Incomplete formation of the C alpha 1-domain disulphide bridge.

Project description:The BALB/c IgA (immunoglobulin A) myeloma protein M167 contained on average 5.7 free SH groups per IgA dimer. These groups were preponderantly on the heavy chains and comprised two distinct populations: 3.3 exposed SH groups per dimer in the Fc region, and 2.4 buried SH groups per dimer in the Fd region, detectable o only after denaturation. To locate the cysteine residues involved, labelled peptides were purified from thermolysin digests of radioalkylated IgA by high-performance liquid chromatography. From the amino acid compositions of the peptides, the exposed thiol groups were assigned to Cys-307 in the C alpha 2 domain, which thus existed in the reduced form to an extent exceeding 80%. This residue may allow attachment of secretory component to dimer IgA in the mouse to proceed via thiol-disulphide exchange. The buried thiol groups were assigned to Cys-150 and Cys-208, in the C alpha 1 domain, each being in the reduced form to the extent of approx. 30%. This pair of residues would normally give rise to the characteristic intradomain disulphide bridge. It appears that disulphide formation is not a crucial event during folding of the C alpha 1 domain in IgA biosynthesis. The sequence in the region 140-151 was re-investigated, and residue 142 was shown to be serine, not cysteine, helping explain the lack of heavy-chain-light chain bonding in BALB/c mouse IgA. A disulphide-bond model for mouse IgA is proposed on the basis of these assignments and other features of the mouse alpha-chain sequence.

Interaction of dinitrophenyl groups bound to bovine serum albumin with univalent fragments of anti-dinitrophenyl antibody.

Project description:Two lysine residues of bovine serum albumin reacted with 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene with apparent second-order rate constants approx. 500-times greater than those observed in similar reactions with low-molecular-weight lysine derivatives. A series of dinitrophenyl (Dnp)-bovine serum albumins were prepared and their ability to bind univalent fragments of anti-Dnp antibody was measured by fluorescence-quenching titrations. Compared with the Dnp group of the free hapten, 6-N-Dnp-aminohexanoate, the majority of the protein-bound Dnp groups were unavailable to the antibody at pH8.0. When the same Dnp-albumins were titrated at pH3.0 the availability of the Dnp groups increased approx. 3-fold. Dnp-albumins were treated with pepsin at pH3.0 and Dnp-containing fragments isolated by chromatography on DE-52 DEAE-cellulose. Fluorescence-quenching titrations showed that the Dnp groups on the fragments behaved like the free hapten with respect to quenching efficiency, although with an increased dissociation constant. The association between the Dnp-albumins and the antibody was measured also by difference-spectral titrations at high protein concentrations. Antibody binding was increased under these conditions, but the Dnp group of mono-Dnp-albumin remained unavailable to antibody. We propose that the reactive lysine residues are located in clefts between the globular sub-domains of the single polypeptide chain. Dnp groups attached to these lysine residues are fully exposed to the solvent, but binding of the macromolecular probe, anti-Dnp antibody, is sterically hindered by the adjacent surface of the albumin molecule.
