The disulfide-bonded loop of chromogranin B mediates membrane binding and directs sorting from the trans-Golgi network to secretory granules. (1/5505)

The disulfide-bonded loop of chromogranin B (CgB), a regulated secretory protein with widespread distribution in neuroendocrine cells, is known to be essential for the sorting of CgB from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to immature secretory granules. Here we show that this loop, when fused to the constitutively secreted protein alpha1-antitrypsin (AT), is sufficient to direct the fusion protein to secretory granules. Importantly, the sorting efficiency of the AT reporter protein bearing two loops (E2/3-AT-E2/3) is much higher compared with that of AT with a single disulfide-bonded loop. In contrast to endogenous CgB, E2/3-AT-E2/3 does not undergo Ca2+/pH-dependent aggregation in the TGN. Furthermore, the disulfide-bonded loop of CgB mediates membrane binding in the TGN and does so with 5-fold higher efficiency if two loops are present on the reporter protein. The latter finding supports the concept that under physiological conditions, aggregates of CgB are the sorted units of cargo which have multiple loops on their surface leading to high membrane binding and sorting efficiency of CgB in the TGN.  (+info)

Chaperone activity with a redox switch. (2/5505)

Hsp33, a member of a newly discovered heat shock protein family, was found to be a very potent molecular chaperone. Hsp33 is distinguished from all other known molecular chaperones by its mode of functional regulation. Its activity is redox regulated. Hsp33 is a cytoplasmically localized protein with highly reactive cysteines that respond quickly to changes in the redox environment. Oxidizing conditions like H2O2 cause disulfide bonds to form in Hsp33, a process that leads to the activation of its chaperone function. In vitro and in vivo experiments suggest that Hsp33 protects cells from oxidants, leading us to conclude that we have found a protein family that plays an important role in the bacterial defense system toward oxidative stress.  (+info)

Insulin-like growth factors I and II are unable to form and maintain their native disulfides under in vivo redox conditions. (3/5505)

Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) I does not quantitatively form its three native disulfide bonds in the presence of 10 mM reduced and 1 mM oxidized glutathione in vitro [Hober, S. et al. (1992) Biochemistry 31, 1749-1756]. In this paper, we show (i) that both IGF-I and IGF-II are unable to form and maintain their native disulfide bonds at redox conditions that are similar to the situation in the secretory vesicles in vivo and (ii) that the presence of protein disulfide isomerase does not overcome this problem. The results indicate that the previously described thermodynamic disulfide exchange folding problem of IGF-I in vitro is also present in vivo. Speculatively, we suggest that the thermodynamic disulfide exchange properties of IGF-I and II are biologically significant for inactivation of the unbound growth factors by disulfide exchange reactions to generate variants destined for rapid clearance.  (+info)

In vivo formation of Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase disulfide bond in Escherichia coli. (4/5505)

We have found that the in vivo folding of periplasmic Escherichia coli Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase is assisted by DsbA, which catalyzes the efficient formation of its single disulfide bond, whose integrity is essential to ensure full catalytic activity to the enzyme. In line with these findings, we also report that the production of recombinant Xenopus laevis Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase is enhanced when the enzyme is exported in the periplasmic space or is expressed in thioredoxin reductase mutant strains. Our data show that inefficient disulfide bond oxidation in the bacterial cytoplasm inhibits Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase folding in this cellular compartment.  (+info)

Scrotal heat stress induces altered sperm chromatin structure associated with a decrease in protamine disulfide bonding in the stallion. (5/5505)

A variety of testicular insults can induce changes in the structure of spermatozoal chromatin, resulting in spermatozoal DNA that is more susceptible to acid-induced denaturation. The degree of change in the DNA can be measured using the sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA). The SCSA measures the relative amounts of single- and double-stranded DNA after staining with the metachromatic dye, acridine orange. Here we used a stallion model (n = 4) to study the effects of scrotal heat stress on spermatozoal DNA. This model was created by insulating stallion testes for 48 h and collecting sperm daily thereafter for 60 days. Changes in the SCSA were then correlated with protamine disulfide content and protamine types and levels. Results of the SCSA indicated that the susceptibility of spermatozoal DNA to denaturation was dependent on the spermatogenic cell stage that the ejaculated sperm was in at the time of the heat stress. Spermatozoa with altered DNA had a decrease in the extent of disulfide bonding that was associated with an increase in the susceptibility of DNA to denaturation. However, there were no detectable changes in either the protamine type or level. Thus, in this model, decreased disulfide bonding is associated with an increased susceptibility of spermatozoal DNA to denaturation in the absence of protamine changes.  (+info)

An intact sperm nuclear matrix may be necessary for the mouse paternal genome to participate in embryonic development. (6/5505)

We have been interested in determining the minimally required elements in the sperm head that are necessary in order for the paternal genome to participate in embryogenesis. We used an ionic detergent, mixed alkyltrimethylammonium bromide (ATAB), plus dithiothreitol (DTT) to remove the acrosome and almost all of the perinuclear theca, leaving only the sperm nucleus morphologically intact. We also tested the stability of the sperm nuclear matrix by the ability to form nuclear halos. Sperm nuclei washed in freshly prepared 0.5% ATAB + 2 mM DTT completely decondensed when extracted with salt, but nuclei washed in the same buffer that was 1 wk old, and then extracted with salt, produced nuclear halos, indicating stable nuclear matrices. When we treated sperm heads with freshly prepared ATAB+DTT and injected them into oocytes, none of the oocytes developed into live offspring. In contrast, sperm heads treated in the same way but with 1-wk-old ATAB+DTT solution could support development of about 30% of the oocytes to live offspring. Electron microscopy demonstrated that most of the perinuclear theca had been removed in both cases. These data suggest that at least in the mouse, the only component of the spermatozoa that is crucial for participation in embryologic development is the sperm nucleus with a stable nuclear matrix.  (+info)

The internal Cys-207 of sorghum leaf NADP-malate dehydrogenase can form mixed disulphides with thioredoxin. (7/5505)

The role of the internal Cys-207 of sorghum NADP-malate dehydrogenase (NADP-MDH) in the activation of the enzyme has been investigated through the examination of the ability of this residue to form mixed disulphides with thioredoxin mutated at either of its two active-site cysteines. The h-type Chlamydomonas thioredoxin was used, because it has no additional cysteines in the primary sequence besides the active-site cysteines. Both thioredoxin mutants proved equally efficient in forming mixed disulphides with an NADP-MDH devoid of its N-terminal bridge either by truncation, or by mutation of its N-terminal cysteines. They were poorly efficient with the more compact WT oxidised NADP-MDH. Upon mutation of Cys-207, no mixed disulphide could be formed, showing that this cysteine is the only one, among the four internal cysteines, which can form mixed disulphides with thioredoxin. These experiments confirm that the opening of the N-terminal disulphide loosens the interaction between subunits, making Cys-207, located at the dimer contact area, more accessible.  (+info)

Hairpin-shaped DNA duplexes with disulfide bonds in sugar-phosphate backbone as potential DNA reagents for crosslinking with proteins. (8/5505)

Convenient approaches were described to incorporate -OP(=O)O(-)-SS-O(-)(O=)PO- bridges in hairpin-shaped DNA duplexes instead of regular phosphodiester linkages: (i) H2O2- or 2,2'-dipyridyldisulfide-mediated coupling of 3'- and 5'-thiophosphorylated oligonucleotides on complementary template and (ii) more selective template-guided autoligation of a preactivated oligonucleotide derivative with an oligomer carrying a terminal thiophosphoryl group. Dithiothreitol was found to cleave completely modified internucleotide linkage releasing starting oligonucleotides. The presence of complementary template as an intrinsic element of the molecule protects the hairpin DNA analog from spontaneous exchange of disulfide-linked oligomer fragments and makes it a good candidate for auto-crosslinking with cysteine-containing proteins.  (+info)

Rabbit light chain 3315, prepared from a homogeneous antipneumococcal antibody, was subjected to hydrolysis by pepsin without prior reduction and alkylation of the intrachain disulfide bonds. Gel filtration of the hydrolysate on Sephadex G-10, G-15, and G-25 and ion exchange chromatography on SP-Sephadex yielded several disulfide bridge peptides. These were fully reduced and alkylated and sequenced by Edman degradation. The peptides were located in the light chain sequence determined in independent studies from our laboratory.. The half-cystine residues in this κB rabbit chain are located at positions 23, 80, 88, 134, 171, 194, and 214. The extra disulfide bridge extends between residues 80 and 171, thus joining the variable and constant domains. This is consistent with x-ray diffraction crystallographic studies showing that the corresponding residues in human light chains are separated by a distance compatible with disulfide bond formation.. ...
The integrity of antibody structure, stability, and biophysical characterization are becoming increasingly important as antibodies receive increasing scrutiny from regulatory authorities. We altered the disulfide bond arrangement of an IgG4 molecule by mutation of the Cys at the N terminus of the heavy chain constant domain 1 (CH1) (Kabat position 127) to a Ser and introduction of a Cys at a variety of positions (positions 227-230) at the C terminus of CH1. An inter-LC-CH1 disulfide bond is thus formed, which mimics the disulfide bond arrangement found in an IgG1 molecule. The antibody species present in the supernatant following transient expression in Chinese hamster ovary cells were analyzed by immunoblot to investigate product homogeneity, and purified product was analyzed by a thermofluor assay to determine thermal stability. We show that the light chain can form an inter-LC-CH1 disulfide bond with a Cys when present at several positions on the upper hinge (positions 227-230) and that such ...
Thiolates, not thiols, attack disulfide bonds. Hence, thiol-disulfide exchange is inhibited at low pH (typically, below 8) where the protonated thiol form is favored relative to the deprotonated thiolate form. (The pKa of a typical thiol group is roughly 8.3, but can vary due to its environment.) Thiol-disulfide exchange is the principal reaction by which disulfide bonds are formed and rearranged in a protein. The rearrangement of disulfide bonds within a protein generally occurs via intra-protein thiol-disulfide exchange reactions; a thiolate group of a cysteine residue attacks one of the proteins own disulfide bonds. This process of disulfide rearrangement (known as disulfide shuffling) does not change the number of disulfide bonds within a protein, merely their location (i.e., which cysteines are bonded). Disulfide reshuffling is generally much faster than oxidation/reduction reactions, which change the number of disulfide bonds within a protein. The oxidation and reduction of protein ...
Correct folding and disulfide bond formation is essential for the function of many secreted proteins including bacterial toxins, and their formation is facilitated by d is ulfide b ond forming (Dsb) oxidoreductase proteins, which usually contain a conserved thioredoxin (TRX) fold [1]. Protein disulfide bonds can serve structural roles, and thus are often buried in the core of a protein. However, in the case of Dsb proteins, partially exposed disulfide bonds in the TRX-fold CXXC motif have catalytic roles in protein folding, electron transport and bioenergetics in a variety of organisms [2, 3].. The Dsb proteins of Escherichia coli are the best characterized, and reside in its periplasm to correctly fold disulfide bond containing secreted and cell-wall proteins [4]. E. coli DsbA (Ec-DsbA) catalyzes the oxidation of disulfide bonds in reduced, unfolded proteins [5, 6], and is then re-oxidized by ubiquinone via E. coli DsbB (Ec-DsbB), an inner membrane transmembrane protein, which in turn is ...
Disulfide bonds play an important role in the folding and stability of many proteins.1-4 For example, S-S bonds are formed following the oxidative folding process between the thiol groups of cysteine, which can also hold different subunits of larger protein complexes together such as antibodies.5 These are also found in keratin in hair.6 In the refining of crude oil, oxidative desulfurization (ODS) of thiols forms the corresponding disulfides7 which then undergo further oxidation to thiosulfinates, disulfoxides, sulfinyl sulfones or disulfones. Disulfides are also used as vulcanizing agents for rubber8 and elastomers,9 in drugs,10 and in the design of rechargeable lithium batteries,11 for example. Traditionally, disulfides are produced through the oxidation of thiols in the presence of homogeneous catalysts including tributylammonium chlorochromate,12 metal phthalocyanines,13 cobalt(II) phthalocyanine tetrasodium sulfonate attached to poly(vinylamine),14 porphyrazinatocobalt(II) complex15 and ...
Protein folding, associated with isomerization of disulfide bonds, was studied using the mixed disulfide between glutathione and reduced ribonuclease T-1 (GS-RNase T-1) as a stable soluble and homogenous starting material; conditions were selected to model those within the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum where native disulfide bonds are formed in protein biosynthesis, Folding was initiated by addition of free glutathione (GSH +/- GSSG) to promote thiol-disulfide interchange and was monitored by intrinsic protein fluorescence, appearance of native ribonuclease activity, HPLC, and nonreducing SDS-PAGE, All the analyses indicated that native RNase T-1 was recovered in high yield in a variety of redox conditions, Appearance of native activity followed first-order kinetics; kinetic analysis of the intrinsic fluorescence changes indicated an additional rapid process in some conditions, interpreted as the formation of a nonnative intermediate state.

Required for the import and folding of small cysteine-containing proteins (small Tim) in the mitochondrial intermembrane space (IMS) (PubMed:16185709, PubMed:19182799, PubMed:21059946). Precursor proteins to be imported into the IMS are translocated in their reduced form into the mitochondria (PubMed:16185709, PubMed:19182799, PubMed:21059946). The oxidized form of CHCHD4/MIA40 forms a transient intermolecular disulfide bridge with the reduced precursor protein, resulting in oxidation of the precursor protein that now contains an intramolecular disulfide bond and is able to undergo folding in the IMS (PubMed:16185709, PubMed:19182799, PubMed:21059946). Reduced CHCHD4/MIA40 is then reoxidized by GFER/ERV1 via a disulfide relay system (PubMed:23186364). Mediates formation of disulfide bond in MICU1 ...
Injectable self-healing hydrogels have found broad applications in drug delivery, tissue engineering and controlled 3D cell culture. Recently, cyclic disulfides were found to be useful in cross-linking and stabilizing liposomes by disulfide exchange polymerization, benefiting from the enhanced reactivity of
5.A.1 The Disulfide Bond Oxidoreductase D (DsbD) Family The best characterized member of the DsbD family is DsbD of E. coli (Katzen and Beckwith, 2000; Krupp et al., 2001). The DsbD protein is membrane-embedded with a putative N-terminal TMS plus 8 additional TMSs. The smallest homologues (190 aas with 6 putative TMSs) are found in archaea while the largest are found in both Gram-negative bacteria (758 aas with 9 putative TMSs) and Gram-positive bacteria (695 aas with 6 putative TMSs). In the E. coli DsbD system, electrons are transferred from NADPH in the cytoplasm to periplasmic dithiol/disulfide-containing proteins via an electron transfer chain that sequentially involves NADPH, thioredoxin reductase (TrxB), present in the cytoplasm, thioredoxin (TrxA), also in the cytoplasm, DsbD, the integral membrane constituent of the system, and the periplasmic electron acceptors, DsbC, DsbE (CcmG) and DsbG. All of these last three proteins can donate electrons to oxidized disulfide-containing proteins ...
The inability to form disulfide bonds in the periplasm affects the assembly of complex machinery in the cell envelope. Indeed, loss of DsbA, the primary disulfide bond oxidase in the periplasm, has been shown to block type III secretion in serovar Typhimurium, S. flexneri, P. aeruginosa, and Y. pestis and motility in E. coli and serovar Typhimurium (10, 18, 28, 34, 48, 64) (Fig. 5). But does loss of function indicate a simple defect in assembly? Here we have shown that, in addition to a structural or functional defect conferred by mutations in dsbA, there is a distinct regulatory response. The SPI1 T3SS regulatory circuit responds to the state of disulfide bonds in the periplasm and adjusts expression of the machine components. Our results suggest that loss of DsbA affects SPI1 through four distinct yet overlapping pathways (Fig. 1). First, DsbA inhibits activation of the RcsCDB system (45). Activation of RcsCDB in a dsbA mutant inhibits hilA expression (50) through HilD. Activated RcsCDB also ...
structure and there are five types. It is these heavy chains which enable antibodies to be separated into the five classes (or isotypes) of immunoglobins; IgG, IgA, IgD, IgM and IgE. The way in which the two heavy chains are connected to one another is through disulfide bonds, they are then connected to a light chain by disulfide bonds as well. This therefore creates two identical antigen-binding sites[4]. The regions of the heavy chain includes three constant domains, which are the same for all antibodies, and the one variable domain. The light chains are also composed of a constant domain and a variable domain. The variable regions of the antibodies are where the antigen binding site is located and the constant domain is responsible for the outcome of the antigen[5]. The Fc region is the part of the antibody that binds to cell surface receptors on cells such as macrophages. Finally, the Fab region is primarily known as the location for the antigen binding site[6]. The domains of antibodies are ...

Human interleukin-12p70 (IL-13) is a 15.8 kDa, glycosylated monomeric cytokine with two internal disulfide bonds. It is secreted by a variety of immune cells. IL-13 is involved in a number of biological processes, such as positive regulation of B-cell proliferation, macrophage activation, immunoglobulin production, protein secretion, and phosphorylation of Stat6 protein. IL-13 initially interacts with IL-13 Rα1 to form a low-affinity complex. The formation of this complex triggers association with IL-4 Rα to form a high-affinity complex that also functions as the type 2 IL-4 receptor complex. IL-13 also binds with high affinity to IL-13 Rα2, which is expressed as a soluble intracellular protein, and also on the cell surface. It is involved in a number of disorders including allergic rhinitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and colorectal cancer. The Human IL-13 Kit provides the assay-specific components for the quantitative determination of endogenous IL-13 in human urine, serum, plasma, and ...
We have devised a generally applicable strategy for analysis of protein structure and have applied it to examine the structure of the transmembrane portion of the Tar receptor of Escherichia coli. The basis of our approach is the use of disulfide cross-linking to identify residues that are within close proximity. To generate and test large numbers of cysteine pairs, we used an unusual method of mutagenesis by which cysteine substitutions can be created randomly at a number of targeted codons. Cysteine-substituted proteins encoded by mutagenized genes may be screened directly for disulfide formation within oligomers or, alternatively, different pools of genes may be randomly recombined to generate gene populations with substitutions in multiple regions. Thus, it is possible to detect a variety of disulfide cross-links between and within individual protein molecules. Interactions between the four membrane-spanning stretches of the Tar dimer were probed by measuring the tendency of 48 cysteine ...

Many proteins that are exported from the cytosol pass through a membrane channel into the ER in eukaryotes or the extracellular space in prokaryotes (for reviews see Rapoport et al., 1996; Pohlschroder et al., 1997; Matlack et al., 1998; Johnson and van Waes, 1999). The channel is formed by a heterotrimeric complex of proteins called the Sec61 complex in eukaryotes and the SecY complex in bacteria and archaea. The channel has a hydrophilic interior, as shown by electrophysiology and fluorescence lifetime measurements (Simon and Blobel, 1991; Crowley et al., 1994). Previous models assumed that the channel is formed at the interface between three or four copies of the Sec61/SecY complex (Hanein et al., 1996; Beckmann et al., 1997; Hamman et al., 1997; Manting et al., 2000; Menetret et al., 2000). However, the recently solved X-ray structure of the SecY complex from M. jannaschii is of a monomer with no exterior hydrophilic surfaces in the membrane (van den Berg et al., 2004); thus, the channel ...
1MXP: A New Level of Conotoxin Diversity, a Non-native Disulfide Bond Connectivity in alpha -Conotoxin AuIB Reduces Structural Definition but Increases Biological Activity.
Horseradish peroxidase is used in biochemistry applications such as western blots, ELISA and Immunohistochemistry. It is used to amplify a weak signal and increase detectability of a target molecule, such as a protein. HRP labeled immunoglobulins are used as probes for the demonstration of tissue antigens and in enzyme immunoassay (EIA) systems for determination of soluble and insoluble antigens. HRP is the most desired label for antibodies since it is the smallest and most stable of the three most popular enzyme labels (HRP, alkaline phosphatase, and B-galactosidase) and its glycosylation leads to lower non-specific binding. It is also useful for tracing neural connections. These include motor and sensory innervation of peripheral organs, and connections of peripheral nerves, ganglia and individual dorsal roots. HRP can be conjugated to antibodies by several different methods including glutaraldehyde, periodate oxidation, through disulfide bonds, and also via amino and thiol directed ...
A major finding of our present study is that integrin α4β7 can be activated by selectively breaking two conserved disulfide bonds, α4C589-C594 and β7C494-C526, located at the knees of integrin. Interestingly, integrin activated by this mechanism has a unique active conformation that is different from the global conformation induced by Mn2+ stimulation. In addition, activated α4β7 integrin can spontaneously cluster on the cell membrane and trigger integrin outside-in signaling independent of ligand binding.. All integrins contain a large number of disulfide bonds that are generally believed to facilitate protein folding and stabilize three-dimensional structures (Calvete et al., 1991). The two disulfide bonds at the knees of integrin α4β7 are exposed to solution, making them easily accessible to reducing agents. In this study, these two disulfide bonds were selectively reduced by 0.1 mM DTT, which induced the activation of integrin α4β7 and triggered outside-in signaling. Accumulating ...

Immunoglobulin heavy-chain binding protein (BiP, GRP-78) associates tightly in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) with newly synthesized proteins that are incompletely assembled, have mutant structures, or are incorrectly glycosylated. The function of BiP has been suggested to be to prevent secretion of incorrectly folded or incompletely assembled protein, to promote folding or assembly of proteins, or to solubilize protein aggregates within the ER lumen. Here we examine the interaction of BiP with newly synthesized polypeptides in an in vitro protein translation-translocation system. We find that BiP forms tight complexes with nonglycosylated yeast invertase and incorrectly disulphide-bonded prolactin, but does not associate detectably with either glycosylated invertase or correctly disulphide-bonded prolactin. Moreover, BiP associates detectably only with completed chains of prolactin, not with chains undergoing synthesis. We conclude that BiP recognizes and binds with high affinity in vitro to ...
Bacterial growth and pathogenicity depend on the correct formation of disulfide bonds, a process controlled by the Dsb system in the periplasm of Gram-negative bacteria. Proteins with a thioredoxin fold play a central role in this process. A general feature of thiol-disulfide exchange reactions is the need to avoid a long lived product complex between protein partners. We use a multidisciplinary approach, involving NMR, x-ray crystallography, surface plasmon resonance, mutagenesis, and in vivo experiments, to investigate the interaction between the two soluble domains of the transmembrane reductant conductor DsbD. Our results show oxidation state-dependent affinities between these two domains. These observations have implications for the interactions of the ubiquitous thioredoxin-like proteins with their substrates, provide insight into the key role played by a unique redox partner with an immunoglobulin fold, and are of general importance for oxidative protein-folding pathways in all organisms.
Laminins [(PUBMED:2404817)] are the major noncollagenous components of basement membranes that mediate cell adhesion, growth migration, and differentiation. They are composed of distinct but related alpha, beta and gamma chains. The three chains form a cross-shaped molecule that consist of a long arm and three short globular arms. The long arm consist of a coiled coil structure contributed by all three chains and cross-linked by interchain disulphide bonds. Beside different types of globular domains each subunit contains, in its first half, consecutive repeats of about 60 amino acids in length that include eight conserved cysteines [(PUBMED:2666164)]. The tertiary structure [(PUBMED:8648630), (PUBMED:8648631)] of this domain is remotely similar in its N-terminal to that of the EGF-like module. It is known as a LE or laminin-type EGF-like domain. The number of copies of the LE domain in the different forms of laminins is highly variable; from 3 up to 22 copies have been found. A schematic ...

Citation: Meng, Y., Moscou, M., Wise, R.P. 2008. Blufensin1 Negatively Impacts Basal Defense in Response to Barley Powdery Mildew. Plant Physiology. 149(1):271-285. Interpretive Summary: Plant diseases are among the greatest deterrents to crop production worldwide. Pathogenic fungi, viruses, bacteria, insects, and nematodes impact agronomic and horticultural crops, as well as commercial and recreational forests. ARS researchers have isolated a novel regulator of disease defense. The new monocot-specific gene encodes a family of small cysteine-rich peptides, designated blufensins. BLUFENSIN1 (BLN1) is highly induced during infection by pathogenic fungi and contains both structural and sequence similarities to knottins, a diverse family of small disulfide-rich proteins characterized by a unique disulfide through disulfide knot. This discovery, also supported by the National Science Foundation-Plant Genome Research Program, establishes a previously unrecognized role for small peptides as negative ...

colored in yellow) [6] [7] [8] [9]. One structural feature of Pin-II IRD is a disordered loop with triple stranded β sheet scaffold. The disordered solvent exposed reactive loop is anchored by the four conserved disulfide bonds (C4-C41, C7-C25, C8-C37 and C14-C50) [10] [11]. Among the four disulfide bonds, C8-C37 has been found to be very crucial for maintaining active conformation, whereas C4-C41 has an important role in maintaining the flexibility of the reactive loop [12]. Thus, any selective loss of disulfide bond is expected to have evolutionary significance leading to functional differentiation of inhibitors [13]. [A] Functionality: To assess the effect of aa variations on activity and structural stability different biochemical studies and 20 ns MD simulations was performed on IRD structures. Inhibition kinetic studies displayed a sigmoidal pattern with increasing concentrations of the inhibitors suggesting reversible and competitive inhibition with tight binding. IRD-9 turned out to be a ...

The meeting was introduced by P. Pontarotti (Marseille, France), who discussed the evolutionary genetics of the MHC based on the ideas of gene co‐option and exon shuffling as the drivers of new functions for existing structures. These ideas about the evolution of the MHC suggest that conserved regions brought into new structures could retain their old (binding) functions. N. Bulleid (Manchester, UK) introduced the topic of MHC class I biosynthesis, describing a semi‐permeable cell system with an intact endoplasmic reticulum that allowed him to address the timing and partners involved in the formation of disulphide bonds between MHC class I and endoplasmic reticulum molecules. He also emphasized the role of the endoplasmic reticulum redox environment and the importance of a transmembrane cysteine residue in associating nascent class I molecules with their appropriate partners. This talk connected to later talks that highlighted misfolding and aberrant disulphide‐bond formation in disease. ...

Enzymes execute a wide variety of functions. For example, they regulate signal transduction via kinases and phosphatases. ATPases generate muscle contraction and active transport. Several enzymes can work together in a specific metabolic pathway (e.g., glycolysis). The common characteristic of enzymes is that they catalyze the chemical modification of specific substrates. Depending on their cellular sub-localization, enzymes can have various preferences toward the presence of reducing agents in biochemical assays. Redox regulation is, like phosphorylation, a covalent regulatory system that controls normal cell function. For example, mitochondria contain the most reducing compartment and are highly sensitive to oxidation. The secretory pathway contains oxidative systems which introduce disulfides into proteins for transport. As opposed to secretory mechanisms, uptake and activation through the endocytic pathway involve reduction of disulfides.. If it is necessary to keep the enzyme of interest ...

  • PCC6803 obtained by X-ray crystallography showed two juxtaposed FAD molecules per monomer in redox communication with an active disulfide bridge in a variant of the fold adopted by NTRs. (nih.gov)
  • The stabilization of the native state by the disulfide has been interpreted in terms of a decrease in chain entropy in the unfolded state and elimination of the strain imposed on the disulfide bond in the native state. (eurekamag.com)
  • The molten globule state is also stabilized by the disulfide bond, although the degree of stabilization of the molten globule state is smaller than of the native state. (eurekamag.com)
  • To determine whether this effect of disulfide bond formation was unique to rat liver nuclei, nuclear matrix/cytoskeleton structures were prepared in situ by sequentially treating monolayers of tissue culture cells with Nonidet-P40, DNase I and RNase A, and 1.6 M NaCl (S.
