Interactions of Zn(II) Ions with Three His-Containing Peptide Models of Histone H2A
نویسندگان
چکیده
The interactions of Zn(ll) ions with the blocked hexapeptide models -TESHHK-, -TASHHK- and -TEAHHK- of the -ESHH- motif of the C-terminal of historic H2A were studied by using potentiometric and IH-NMR techniques. The first step of these studies was to compare the pKa values of the two His residues inside each hexapeptide calculated by potentiometric or H-NMR titrations. Hereafter, the potentiometric titrations in the pH range 5 11 suggest the formation of several monomeric Zn(ll) complexes. It was found that all hexapeptides bind to Zn(ll) ions initially through both imidazole nitrogens in weakly acidic and neutral solutions forming slightly distorted octahedral complexes. At higher pH values, the combination of potentiometric titrations and one and two dimensional NMR suggested no amide coordination in the coordination sphere of Zn(II) ions. Obviously, these studies support that the -ESHH- sequence of histone H2A is a potential binding site for Zn(II) ions similarly with the Cu(II) and Ni(ll) ions, presented in previous papers.

Cu(II) and Ni(II) Interactions with the Terminally Blocked Hexapeptide Ac-Leu-Ala-His-Tyr-Asn-Lys-amide Model of Histone H2B (80–85)
The N- and C-terminal blocked hexapeptide Ac-Leu-Ala-His-Tyr-Asn-Lys-amide (LAHYNK) representing the 80-85 fragment of histone H2B was synthesized and its interactions with Cu(II) and Ni(II) ions were studied by potentiometric, UV-Vis, CD, EPR, and NMR spectroscopic techniques in solution. Our data reveal that the imidazole N(3) nitrogen atom is the primary ligating group for both metal ions. S...

Four new [NiH2L](ClO4)2 (1), [CuH2L](ClO4)2 (2), [MnH2L](ClO4)2 (3) and [CdH2L](ClO4)2 (4), complexes were prepared by the reaction of a new Schiff base ligand and Cu(II), Ni(II), Mn (II) and Zn (II) metal ions in equemolar ratios. The ligand, H2L was synthesized by reaction of 1, 4- bis (2- formylphenyl) piperazine and ethanol amine and characterized with IR and 1H,13C NMR spectroscopy. All co...
متن کاملHistone chaperone FACT action during transcription through chromatin by RNA polymerase II.
FACT (facilitates chromatin transcription) is a histone chaperone that promotes chromatin recovery during transcription, with additional roles in cell differentiation. Although several models of the action of FACT during transcription have been proposed, they remain to be experimentally evaluated. Here we show that human FACT (hFACT) facilitates transcription through chromatin and promotes nucl...
متن کاملSequence-specific Ni(II)-dependent peptide bond hydrolysis in a peptide containing threonine and histidine residues.
Previously we demonstrated that Ni(II) complexes of Ac-Thr-Glu-Ser-His-His-Lys-NH2 hexapeptide, representing residues 120-125 of human histone H2A, and some of its analogs undergo E-S peptide bond hydrolysis. In this work we demonstrate a similar coordination and reactivity pattern in Ni(II) complexes of Ac-Thr-Glu-Thr-His-His-Lys-NH2, its threonine analogue, studied using potentiometry, electr...
