Yersinia pestis Ail: multiple roles of a single protein
Yersinia pestis is one of the most virulent bacteria identified. It is the causative agent of plague-a systemic disease that has claimed millions of human lives throughout history. Y. pestis survival in insect and mammalian host species requires fine-tuning to sense and respond to varying environmental cues. Multiple Y. pestis attributes participate in this process and contribute to its pathoge...
متن کاملDifferential Contribution of Tryptophans to the Folding and Stability of the Attachment Invasion Locus Transmembrane β-Barrel from Yersinia pestis
Attachment invasion locus (Ail) protein of Yersinia pestis is a crucial outer membrane protein for host invasion and determines bacterial survival within the host. Despite its importance in pathogenicity, surprisingly little is known on Ail biophysical properties. We investigate the contribution of micelle concentrations and interface tryptophans on the Ail β-barrel refolding and unfolding proc...
متن کاملProbing lysozyme conformation with light reveals a new folding intermediate.
A means to control lysozyme conformation with light illumination has been developed using the interaction of the protein with a photoresponsive surfactant. Upon exposure to the appropriate wavelength of light, the azobenzene surfactant undergoes a reversible photoisomerization, with the visible-light (trans) form being more hydrophobic than the UV-light (cis) form. As a result, surfactant bindi...
متن کاملEnergetics of side-chain partitioning of β-signal residues in unassisted folding of a transmembrane β-barrel protein
The free energy of water-to-interface amino acid partitioning is a major contributing factor in membrane protein folding and stability. The interface residues at the C terminus of transmembrane β-barrels form the β-signal motif required for assisted β-barrel assembly in vivo but are believed to be less important for β-barrel assembly in vitro Here, we experimentally measured the thermodynamic c...
متن کاملReversible Folding of Rhodanese
For the first time completely reversible unfolding was achieved for guanidinium chloride-denatured rhodanese using a systematically defined protocol. These conditions included fl-mercaptoethanol, lauryl maltoside, and sodium thiosulfate. All components were required to get more than the previous best reactivation with lauryl maltoside of 17% (Tandon, S., and Horowitz, P. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 2...
