稀土离子与胰岛素结合引起构象和聚集态变化

为阐明稀土离子(Ln³⁺ )对胰岛素的跨膜转运和降糖作用的机理, 通过谱学方法研究了Ln³⁺与去锌和含锌胰岛素的相互作用. 结果表明Ln³⁺与胰岛素的结合诱导胰岛素从二级到高级结构的改变与其浓度相关. 在低浓度下, 它们诱导胰岛素单体分子内的构象变化. 变化涉及它与胰岛素受体结合区域(B(24~30)). 这可能与Ln³⁺在低浓度下增强胰岛素与其受体结合有关. Ln³⁺还能促进胰岛素单体之间的聚集. Ln³⁺诱导胰岛素聚集的能力大于Zn²⁺ . 这种聚集可以用EDTA解聚而部分恢复. 提示Ln³⁺诱导的聚集不是变性聚集. 与Zn²⁺ 相似, 在一定的浓度范围内, Ln³⁺具有稳定胰岛素的作用, 但强于Zn²⁺ .     

Changes of conformation and aggregation state induced by binding of lanthanide ions to insulin

To clarify the mechanism of lanthanide ions (Ln3+) on the across-membrane transport of insulin and subsequent reducing blood glucose, the interactions of Ln3+with Zn-insulin and Zn-free insulin are investigated by spectroscopic methods. The results reveal that the binding of Ln3+ to insulin can induce its structure changes from secondary to quaternary structure, depending on the Ln3+ concentration. In the lower concentration, it triggers the conformational changes of insulin monomer in the binding region with insulin receptor (B(24-30)). It would affect insulin-insulin receptor interaction. Moreover, Ln3+ binding promotes the assembly of insulin monomer from dimer to polymer. The potency of Ln3+ in inducing insulin's aggregation is stronger than that of Zn2+. Furthermore, the aggregation can be reversed partly by EDTA-treatment, indicating that it is not due to denaturation. Similar to Zn2+ effect, Ln3+ can stabilize insulin hexamer in a certain range of concentration, but is stronger than the former.
