Apart from the vital role in glycoprotein biosynthesis and degradation, α-mannosidase is currently an important therapeutic
target for the development of anticancer agents. Fluorescence quenching and time-resolved fluorescence of α-mannosidase, a
multitryptophan protein from Aspergillus fischeri were carried out to investigate the tryptophan environment. The tryptophans were found to be differentially exposed to the
solvent and were not fully accessible to the neutral quencher indicating heterogeneity in the environment. Quenching of the
fluorescence by acrylamide was collisional. Surface tryptophans were found to have predominantly positively charged amino
acids around them and differentially accessible to the ionic quenchers. Denaturation led to more exposure of tryptophans to
the solvent and consequently in the significant increase in quenching with all the quenchers. The native enzyme showed two
different lifetimes, τ
1 (1.51 ns) and τ
2 (5.99 ns). The average lifetime of the native protein (τ) (3.187 ns) was not affected much after denaturation (τ) (3.219 ns), while average lifetime of the quenched protein samples was drastically reduced (1.995 ns for acrylamide and
1.537 ns for iodide). This is an attempt towards the conformational studies of α-mannosidase. 相似文献

Abalone, a kind of low poikilothermic invertebrate, is easily exposed to ocean environment stress. Since it is one of the
important mariculture animals, the attention paid to the abalone study becomes increasing. Alkaline phosphatase (ALPase, EC
3.1.3.1) is a kind of zinc-contained metalloenzyme, which catalyzes the nonspecific hydrolysis of phosphate monoesters. Unfolding
and inactivation of ALPase from abalone (Haliotis diversicolor) during denaturation by guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCl) of different concentrations has first been studied. The kinetic theory
of the substrate reaction by enzyme was described by Tsou, which was applied to the study on ALPase’s kinetic course of inactivation
by GuHCl. The result showed that the inactivation of the enzyme by GuHCl was a slow, reversible reaction with fractional remaining
activity. The microscopic rate constants were determined. The result, , showed that the enzyme was protected by the substrate to a certain extent during guanidine denaturation. The changes of
conformation of the enzyme in different concentrations of GuHCl have been studied by means of measuring the fluorescence spectra.
The results showed that the inactivation occurred before the noticeable conformational changes of the enzyme molecule as a
whole can be detected, which suggests that the active site of the enzyme has more flexibility than the whole enzyme molecule.
These studies will facilitate the understanding of physiological and biochemical features of the H. diversicolor and will also help in the understanding of the abalone immune system. 相似文献

Metallothionein (MT) as a potential cancer marker is at the center of interest and its properties, functions and behavior under various conditions is intensively studied. In the present study, two major mammalian MT isoforms (MT‐1 and MT‐2) were separated using capillary electrophoresis (CE) coupled with UV detector in order to describe their basic behavior. Under the optimized conditions, the separation of both isoforms was enabled as well as estimation of detection limits as subunits and units of ng per μL for MT‐2 and MT‐1, respectively. Further, the effects of thermal treatment and the presence of denaturing agent such as urea on MT‐1 and MT‐2 isoforms were studied by CE‐UV. Thermal treatment caused an increase in the signals of both isoforms. A new parameter called precipitation rate has been defined based on this finding. This parameter can be expressed as a slope of the linear regression of the time dependency curve recalculated on the MT concentration. The thermal precipitation rate for MT‐1 and MT‐2 was determined as 1.1 and 0.9 ng of MT/min, respectively. The chemical precipitation rate calculated from the linear regression for both isoforms provided the same value of 0.25 ng of MT/min. The results were confirmed by manual spectrometric measurements and by differential pulse voltammetry Brdicka reaction. Based on these results, a model of MT behavior under the conditions studied was suggested. 相似文献

The effect of heating has been studied for whey protein-stabilised oil-in-water emulsions (25.0% (w/w) soybean oil, 3.0% (w/w) whey protein isolate, pH 7.0). These emulsions were heated between 55 and 95 °C as a function of time and the effect on particle size distribution, adsorbed protein amount, protein conformation and rheological properties was determined. Heating the emulsions as a function of temperature for 25 min resulted in an increase of the mean diameter (d32) and shear viscosity with a maximum at 75 °C. Heating of the emulsions at different temperatures as a function of time in all cases resulted in a curve with a maximum for d32. A maximum increase of d32 was observed after about 45 min at 75 °C and after 6–8 min at 90 °C. Similar trends were observed with viscosity measurements. Confocal scanning laser micrographs showed that after 8 min of heating at 90 °C large, loose aggregates of oil droplets were formed, while after 20 min of heating compact aggregates of two or three emulsion droplets remained. An increase of the adsorbed amount of protein was found with increasing heating temperature. Plateau values were reached after 10 min of heating at 75 °C and after 5 min of heating at 90 °C. Based on these results we concluded that in the whole process of aggregation of whey protein-stabilised emulsions an essential role is played by the non-adsorbed protein fraction, that the kinetics of the aggregation of whey protein-stabilised emulsions follow similar trends as those for heated whey protein solutions and that upon prolonged heating rearrangements take place leading to deaggregation of initially formed large, loose aggregates of emulsion droplets into smaller, more compact ones. 相似文献
