Conformational Changes Induced by Zinc and Terbium Binding to Native Bovine a-Lactalbumin and Calcium-free &-Lactalbumin*
Terbium at submillimolar concentrations appears to bind to the calcium site of apo bovine a-lactalbumin and stabilizes the N conformation (fluorescence criterion; Kronman, M. J., Sinha, S., and Brew, K. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 8582-8586). At millimolar concentrations however, it binds additionally to a low affinity site of both apoand calcium-liganded protein, inducing a time-dependent confo...
متن کاملDuck Hepatitis A virus possesses a distinct type IV internal ribosome entry site element of picornavirus.
Sequence analysis of duck hepatitis virus type 1 (DHV-1) led to its classification as the only member of a new genus, Avihepatovirus, of the family Picornaviridae, and so was renamed duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV). The 5' untranslated region (5' UTR) plays an important role in translation initiation and RNA synthesis of the picornavirus. Here, we provide evidence that the 651-nucleotide (nt)-lon...
متن کاملMetal ion binding to the N and A conformers of bovine alpha-lactalbumin.
The binding of Ca2+, Zn2+, Tb3+, and Mn2+ to metal-free bovine alpha-lactalbumin (apo-BLA) was studied by both analytical gel filtration using isotopic metal ions and by fluorescence titration. In the absence of other metal ions, Ca2+ binds at a single site on apo-BLA. The pH dependence of pKa for calcium binding indicates that carboxylate groups of aspartic and/or glutamic residues are coordin...
متن کاملA novel SATB1 binding site in the BCL2 promoter region possesses transcriptional regulatory function☆
BCL2 is a key regulator of apoptosis. Our previous work has demonstrated that special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 1 (SATB1) is positively correlated with BCL2 expression. In the present study, we report a new SATB1 binding site located between P1 and P2 promoters of the BCL2 gene. The candidate SATB1 binding sequence predicted by bioinformatic analysis was investigated in vitro and in vivo...
متن کاملStudy of the Interaction of Cinnamaldehyde with Alpha-lactalbumin: Spectroscopic and Molecular Docking Investigation
Cinnamaldehyde is an important compound of the cinnamon essential oil, and it is responsible for the most of the health benefits of cinnamon. Enriching foods such as milk with cinnamaldehyde can lead to greater utilization of cinnamaldehyde properties. In this study, we investigated the interaction of cinnamaldehyde with bovine alpha-lactalbumin. Analyzing the spectrum of alpha-lactalbumin in t...
