The binding of calcium and yttrium ions to a glycoprotein from bovine cortical bone.

ABSTRACT: The binding of Ca(2+) and Y(3+) to an acidic glycoprotein from bovine cortical bone, bone sialoprotein, was determined from the titration curves at I 0.2 in the presence and absence of the cations. The binding of Y(3+) was greater than that of Ca(2+). The value for the association constant, k, for the interaction with Y(3+) increased with pH, from log k 2.93 at pH3.4 to log k 3.50 at pH4.4, and the number of binding sites/mol. increased from 4.6 at pH3.4 to 9.1 at pH4.4. It is proposed that the binding site consists of three carboxyl groups, but it is likely that the binding is a strong electrostatic interaction rather than a co-ordination linkage. A chondroitin sulphate-protein complex also extracted from bovine cortical bone interacted with Y(3+) and Ca(2+) to a similar extent as did bone sialoprotein. It is suggested that these materials are present in bone at the resting and resorbing surfaces and that they contribute to the deposition of yttrium, americium and plutonium at these sites.

The binding of hydrogen ions to an acidic glycoprotein from bovine cortical bone.

Project description:The H(+) ion dissociation of bone sialoprotein in 0.2m-sodium chloride at 25 degrees was studied. The total content of carboxyl groups available for titration was calculated by comparing the titration curve with the titration curves of three model systems and by the use of analytical data. This comparison showed that 7.0 carboxyl groups/mol. do not participate in the titration, and it is proposed that these are aspartic acid or glutamic acid carboxyl groups present as amides; this is also indicated by titration of the sialoprotein after acid hydrolysis. The titration of carboxyl groups was found to agree well with the Linderstrøm-Lang equation for spherical macroions.

Dimerization of peptides by calcium ions: investigation of a calcium-binding motif.

Project description:We investigated calcium-binding motifs of peptides and their recognition of active functionalities for coordination. This investigation generates the fundamentals to design carrier material for calcium-bound peptide-peptide interactions. Interactions of different peptides with active calcium domains were investigated. Evaluation of selectivity was performed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry by infusing solutions containing two different peptides (P1 and P2) in the presence of calcium ions. In addition to signals for monomer species, intense dimer signals are observed for the heterodimer ions (P1 ? Ca(2+) ? P2) (? represents the noncovalent binding of calcium with the peptide) in the positive ion mode and for ions ([P1-2H](2-) ? Ca(2+) ? [P2-2H](2-)) in the negative ion mode. Monitoring of the dissociation from these mass selected dimer ions via the kinetic method provides information on the calcium affinity order of different peptide sequences.

The accumulation of rare-earth yttrium ions by Penicillium sp. ZD28.

Project description:To obtained fungal resources with excellent tolerance and accumulation capacity to rare earth yttrium ions (Y3+), rare earth ore samples were collected and used for microbial screening. A fungus hyper-resistant to Y3+ was obtained and the effects of the fungus in three physiological states (growth process, mycelial pellets with physiological activity and the fungus powder after being ground) on the Y3+ accumulation were investigated. The Y3+ resistant fungus was identified as Penicillium sp. ZD28, and its mycelium pellets (about 1 mm in diameter) showed poor ability to accumulate Y3+ with an adsorption capacity of less than 81 μmol/g. However, the fungus was able to remove 99% of Y3+ during the growth process, at an initial concentration of less than 600 μM. Bioaccumulation of Y was observed on the cell surface of the ZD28 strain by elemental mapping using scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The adsorbent (the dry fungal powder) had a remarkable adsorption property for Y3+ that was greater than 455 μmol/g in conditions of 465 μM < [Y3+] < 6382 μM. Penicillium sp. ZD28 has major potential applications in the accumulation of yttrium group rare earth ions. This research has formed a theoretical foundation for the application of this biological method to extract rare earth ions in the mining and smelting of yttrium group rare earth elements.

Some studies on the composition of bovine cortical-bone sialoprotein.

Project description:1. An analysis of bovine bone sialoprotein, a homogeneous glycoprotein isolated from cortical bone, is presented. 2. Analytical results agree with earlier physical measurements indicating a molecular weight of about 23000. 3. Mild acid hydrolysis and treatment with neuraminidase showed that fucose and sialic acid occupy terminal positions on oligosaccharide chains. 4. Treatment of the sialic acid-free glycoprotein with beta-galactosidase showed that much of the galactose occupies a sub-terminal location in the intact glycoprotein. 5. The polypeptide chain is rich in aspartic acid, glutamic acid, serine, threonine and glycine, and has no detectable free terminal amino group. 6. Glycopeptides were studied after proteolytic digestion. 7. It is considered that the carbohydrate moiety is highly branched and is probably linked by an acid- and alkali-stable glycosylamine bond involving aspartic acid.

Selective Recovery of Europium and Yttrium Ions with Cyanex 272-Polyacrylonitrile Nanofibers.

Project description:Rare earth elements (REEs), which include lanthanides as yttrium and europium became crucial in the last decade in many sectors like automotive, energy, and defense. They contribute to the increment efficiency and performance of different products. In this paper nanofiber membranes have been successfully applied for the selective recovery of Eu(III) and Y(III) from aqueous solutions. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) electrospun nanofibers were impregnated with a commercial organic extractant, Cyanex 272, in order to increase their affinity to rare earth metals ions. The coated nanofibers were characterized by SEM, ATR-FTIR, and TGA. Firstly, the adsorption of Eu(III) and Y(III) were evaluated in batch mode. Experimental data showed that the adsorption of Y(III) and Eu(III) corresponds to pseudo-second order model, with Langmuir sorption model being the best fit for both target ions. The results demonstrated that the adsorption capacity was high, showing a maximum capacity of 200 and 400 mg/g for Y(III) and Eu(III), respectively. Additionally, the presence of interfering ions does not show significative effects in the adsorption process. Finally, experiments in continuous mode indicated that the adsorption of the target elements is close to 100%, showing that PAN-272 is a promising material for the recovery of earth metal ions.

Mechanical Fatigue of Bovine Cortical Bone Using Ground Reaction Force Waveforms in Running.

Project description:Stress fractures are a common overuse injury among runners associated with the mechanical fatigue of bone. Several in vivo biomechanical studies have investigated specific characteristics of the vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) in heel-toe running and have observed an association between increased loading rate during impact and individuals with a history of stress fracture. The purpose of this study was to examine the fatigue behavior of cortical bone using vGRF-like loading profiles, including those that had been decomposed into their respective impact and active phase components. Thirty-eight cylindrical cortical bone samples were extracted from bovine tibiae and femora. Hydrated samples were fatigue tested at room temperature in zero compression under load control using either a raw (n?=?10), active (n?=?10), low impact (n?=?10), or high impact (n?=?8) vGRF profile. The number of cycles to failure was quantified and the test was terminated if the sample survived 105 cycles. Fatigue life was significantly greater for both impact groups compared to the active (p?<?0.001) and raw (p?<?0.001) groups, with all low impact samples and 6 of 8 high impact samples surviving 105 cycles. The mean (± SD) number of cycles to failure for the active and raw groups was 12,133±11,704 and 16,552±29,612, respectively. The results suggest that loading rates associated with the impact phase of a typical vGRF in running have little influence on the mechanical fatigue behavior of bone relative to loading magnitude, warranting further investigation of the mechanism by which increased loading rates are associated with stress fracture.

Studies on the protein-bound chondroitin sulphate of bovine cortical bone.

Project description:A fraction containing chondroitin sulphate, isolated from bovine cortical bone under mild conditions, was separated by ion-exchange chromatography into three fractions with apparent homogeneity on electrophoresis and ultracentrifugation. Two of these appeared to consist of chondroitin sulphate bound to a glycoprotein ;core' that had similarities to the bone sialoprotein described previously. The differences in composition of the two fractions were considered to be due to variation in the number or lengths of the polysaccharide chains. The presence of xylose and the alkali-lability of the bond between protein and polysaccharide suggested the presence of a xylosylserine linkage. The third fraction had the properties of a relatively pure chondroitin sulphate which contained a small amount of peptide. These fractions differed considerably from the protein-polysaccharide complexes of epiphysial and other cartilages, and their relevance to the possible role of glycosaminoglycans is discussed.

Single-molecule force spectroscopy reveals force-enhanced binding of calcium ions by gelsolin.

Project description:Force is increasingly recognized as an important element in controlling biological processes. Forces can deform native protein conformations leading to protein-specific effects. Protein-protein binding affinities may be decreased, or novel protein-protein interaction sites may be revealed, on mechanically stressing one or more components. Here we demonstrate that the calcium-binding affinity of the sixth domain of the actin-binding protein gelsolin (G6) can be enhanced by mechanical force. Our kinetic model suggests that the calcium-binding affinity of G6 increases exponentially with force, up to the point of G6 unfolding. This implies that gelsolin may be activated at lower calcium ion levels when subjected to tensile forces. The demonstration that cation-protein binding affinities can be force-dependent provides a new understanding of the complex behaviour of cation-regulated proteins in stressful cellular environments, such as those found in the cytoskeleton-rich leading edge and at cell adhesions.

BMP2-coprecipitated calcium phosphate granules enhance osteoinductivity of deproteinized bovine bone, and bone formation during critical-sized bone defect healing.

Project description:Most materials used clinically for filling critical-sized bone defects (CSBD), such as deproteinized bovine bone (DBB), lack osteoinductivity so that their therapeutic effects are far from satisfactory. The effect of bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP2)-coprecipitated biomimetic calcium phosphate granules (BMP2-cop.BioCaP) on osteoinduction of DBB graft(s) during CSBD healing is still unknown. We investigated whether BMP2-cop.BioCaP affects the osteoinductivity of DBB, bone formation, and foreign body reaction during CSBD healing. DBB?+?BMP2-cop.BioCaP, DBB, DBB?+?BMP2, DBB?+?BioCaP, and autologous bone grafts were implanted in the CSBD of sheep. Bone formation, DBB/BioCaP degradability, foreign body reaction, and osteoinductivity of DBB were analyzed histologically and histomorphometrically at week 4 and 8. Combination of BMP2-cop.BioCaP and DBB healed CSBD as effectively as autologous bone grafts. About 95% of the BMP2-cop.BioCaP had been degraded and replaced by new bone at week 8 in the DBB?+?BMP2-cop.BioCaP-group. Foreign body reaction was reduced in the DBB?+?BMP2-cop.BioCaP-group compared to the other groups. The independent use of the BMP2-cop.BioCaP did not achieve a satisfactory bone repair. In conclusion, the BMP2-cop.BioCaP showed good degradability and biocompatibility, and enhanced osteoinductivity of DBB during CSBD healing in sheep, suggesting BMP2-cop.BioCaP as a potential osteoinducer to enhance the therapeutic effects of the graft materials in clinic.

CcbP, a calcium-binding protein from Anabaena sp. PCC 7120, provides evidence that calcium ions regulate heterocyst differentiation.

Project description:Although it is known that calcium is a very important messenger involved in many eukaryotic cellular processes, much less is known about calcium's role in bacteria. CcbP, a Ca(2+)-binding protein, was isolated from the heterocystous cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120, and the ccbP gene was cloned and inactivated. In the absence of combined nitrogen, inactivation of ccbP resulted in multiple contiguous heterocysts, whereas overexpression of ccbP suppressed heterocyst formation. Calmodulin, which is not present in Anabaena species, could also suppress heterocyst formation in both Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 and Anabaena variabilis. HetR induction upon nitrogen step-down was slow in the strain overexpressing ccbP. The Ca(2+) reporter protein obelin was used to show that mature heterocysts had a high intracellular free Ca(2+)concentration {[Ca(2+)](i)}, and immunoblotting showed that CcbP was absent from heterocysts. A regular pattern of cells with higher [Ca(2+)](i) was established during heterocyst differentiation before the appearance of proheterocysts. A rapid increase of [Ca(2+)](i) could be detected 4 h after the removal of combined nitrogen, and this increase was suppressed by excessive CcbP. These results suggest that Ca(2+) ions play very important roles in hetR induction and heterocyst differentiation.
