光谱学方法对钝顶螺旋藻异藻蓝蛋白活性构象研究(英文)

采用羟基磷灰石层析和离子交换层系的方法从钝顶螺旋藻(Spirulina platensis)中分离纯化出异藻蓝蛋白。对异藻蓝蛋白光谱性质受溶液pH变化的影响做了研究。异藻蓝蛋白吸收光谱峰值在650 nm,在620 nm处有1个肩峰,荧光激发光谱的最大发射波长在660 nm。以紫外-可见光吸收光谱表征异藻蓝蛋白对光能的吸收能力,以荧光光谱表征其光能传递能力,以圆二色谱表征其二级结构变化。光谱分析结果表明异藻蓝蛋白在pH为4 ～10的范围之内,其光能吸收和传递的能力保持在一个相对较稳定的范围内,同时异藻蓝蛋白维持三聚体的形式,而其二级结构则会发生一定程度扰动。在pH值低于4或高于10的范围内,异藻蓝蛋白三聚体发生解聚,二级结构发生剧烈变化,其光能吸收和传递能力迅速被破坏。

The Active Conformation of Allophycocyanin from Spirulina platensis Studied with Spectroscopic Analysis

Allophyeocyanin (APC) was purified from Spirulina platensis using hydroxylapatite chromatogra-phy and ion-exchange chromatography. Effects of solution pH on spectra of APC were studied. APC has an absorption maximum at 650 nm, and a shoulder at 620 nm. The fluorescence emission peak is at 660 nm. The efficiency of energy absorbing and transfer in APC could be reflected by the absorption spectra and fluorescence spectra, respectively. Structural variations of APC could be monitored by means of circular dichroism spectra.APC showed good absorbance and fluorescence stability at varying pH with only minor changes between pH 4-10. The trimeric structure of APC was maintained while local variations of protein peptides were allowed in re-sponse to the environmental disturbance. Beyond this pH range, secondary structure as well as overall confor-mation of APC dramatically changed, and the energy absorption and transfer ability were also disrupted.
