Thermal-triggerd Proteinquake Leads to Disassembly of DegP Hexamer as an Imperative Activation Step
The Escherichia coli DegP has been reported to function both as molecular chaperone and protease for the quality control of outer membrane protein biogenesis. Activation of the inactive DegP hexamers was believed to occur via their disassembly into trimeric units and subsequent reassembly into larger oligomers (12-mers and 24-mers). Here, we analyzed the thermal stability and the unfolding dyna...
متن کاملThermal-induced force release in oxyhemoglobin
Oxygen is released to living tissues via conformational changes of hemoglobin from R-state (oxyhemoglobin) to T-state (desoxyhemoglobin). The detailed mechanism of this process is not yet fully understood. We have carried out micromechanical experiments on oxyhemoglobin crystals to determine the behavior of the Young's modulus and the internal friction for temperatures between 20 °C and 70 °C. ...
متن کاملDynamical transition and proteinquake in photoactive yellow protein.
Conformational dynamics in protein functioning covers a wide range of time scales from nanosecond fluctuations around a conformation to the large-amplitude conformational changes of milliseconds or longer. We illustrate a picture of cooperative coupling among such motions of different time scales in a model protein, photoactive yellow protein, by proposing a model that can consistently explain ...
متن کاملRelaxant effect of U0126 in hemolysate-, oxyhemoglobin-, and bloody cerebrospinal fluid-induced contraction in rabbit basilar artery.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE It has been suggested that mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) is involved in cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage. The present study was undertaken to explore the inhibitory effect of U0126, a novel MAPK inhibitor, in the contraction of the rabbit basilar artery by 3 spasmogens: hemolysate, oxyhemoglobin, and bloody cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients...
متن کاملProlonged exposure to oxyhemoglobin modifies the response of isolated dog middle cerebral arteries to vasoactive substances.
We exposed helical strips of dog middle cerebral arteries to oxyhemoglobin for 5 hours, rinsed them with bathing medium, and stored them overnight; we compared the responses of strips thus treated with the responses of strips without oxyhemoglobin treatment. Relaxation induced by nicotine was abolished by hexamethonium and was markedly inhibited after exposure to oxyhemoglobin. A low concentrat...
