Kinetics of actin unfolding induced by guanidine hydrochloride.
The kinetics of actin unfolding induced by guanidine hydrochloride has been studied. On the basis of obtained experimental data a new kinetic pathway of actin unfolding was proposed. We have shown that the transition from native to inactivated actin induced by guanidine hydrochloride (GdnHCl) passes through essential unfolding of the protein. This means that inactivated actin should be consider...
متن کاملGuanidine hydrochloride- and urea-induced unfolding of Toxoplasma gondii ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase: stabilization of a functionally inactive holo-intermediate.
Usually during the folding/unfolding of flavoproteins, an apo-intermediate is stabilized before global unfolding of the enzymes occurs. However, stabilization of a holo-intermediate has also been reported for a few flavoproteins. We have studied the unfolding of Toxoplasma gondii ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase (TgFNR) using GdnHCl and urea. A functionally inactive holo-intermediate of the enzyme wa...
متن کاملGuanidine hydrochloride stabilization of a partially unfolded intermediate during the reversible denaturation of protein disulfide isomerase.
The reversible denaturation of protein disulfide isomerase proceeds through intermediates that are stabilized by interaction with guanidine hydrochloride. At pH 7.5, the equilibrium denaturation by urea is completely reversible and the transition can be reasonably well-described by a two-state model involving only native and denatured forms. In comparison, the equilibrium denaturation by guanid...
متن کاملDifferences in the Pathways of Proteins Unfolding Induced by Urea and Guanidine Hydrochloride: Molten Globule State and Aggregates
It was shown that at low concentrations guanidine hydrochloride (GdnHCl) can cause aggregation of proteins in partially folded state and that fluorescent dye 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonic acid (ANS) binds with these aggregates rather than with hydrophobic clusters on the surface of protein in molten globule state. That is why the increase in ANS fluorescence intensity is often recorded in the...
متن کاملReversible thermal denaturation of human FGF-1 induced by low concentrations of guanidine hydrochloride.
Human acidic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-1) is a powerful mitogen and angiogenic factor with an apparent melting temperature (Tm) in the physiological range. FGF-1 is an example of a protein that is regulated, in part, by stability-based mechanisms. For example, the low Tm of FGF-1 has been postulated to play an important role in the unusual endoplasmic reticulum-independent secretion of this...
