چکیده

Unfolded (inactive) rhodanese (thiosulfate:cyanide sulfurtransferase, EC 2.8.1.1) can be reactivated in the presence of detergents, e.g. lauryl maltoside (LM). Here, we report the reactivation of urea-unfolded rhodanese in the presence of mixed micelles containing LM and the anionic mitochondrial phospholipid, cardiolipin (CL). Reactivation times increased as the number of CL molecules/micelle was increased. A maximum of 94% of the activity was recovered at 2.2 CL/micelle. Only 71% of the activity was recovered in the absence of CL. The major zwitterionic mitochondrial phospholipid, phosphatidylcholine (PC), had no effect on the LM-assisted reactivation of rhodanese. Size exclusion chromatography showed that denatured, but not native, rhodanese apparently binds to micellar amounts of LM and CL/LM, but not to PC/LM micelles. The lifetime of the enzyme-micelle complex increased with the number of CL molecules/micelle. Furthermore, chromatographic fractions containing micelle-bound enzyme had no activity, while renatured rhodanese-containing fractions were active. These results suggest that transient complexes form between enzyme and both LM and CL/LM micelles, and that this complex formation may be necessary for reactivation. For CL/LM micelles, interactions may occur between the positively charged amino-terminal sequence of rhodanese and the negatively charged CL phosphate. Finally, this work shows that there are similarities between "micelle-assisted" and chaperonin-assisted rhodanese refolding.

Stable intermediates can be trapped during the reversible refolding of urea-denatured rhodanese.

The enzyme rhodanese (EC 2.8.1.1) could be reversibly refolded from urea in the presence of lauryl maltoside, beta-mercaptoethanol, and sodium thiosulfate. The unfolding/folding transition monitored using intrinsic fluorescence was resolved into two two-state transitions with midpoints at 3.6 and 5.0 M urea. The analysis assumed an intermediate with an emission maximum at 345 nm. Monitoring ani...

Low concentrations of guanidinium chloride expose apolar surfaces and cause differential perturbation in catalytic intermediates of rhodanese.

The conformations of sulfur-free and sulfur-containing rhodanese were followed with and without the detergent lauryl maltoside after guanidinium chloride (GdmCl) addition to 5 M to study the apparent irreversibility of denaturation. Without lauryl maltoside, sulfur-containing rhodanese denatured in a transition giving, at approximately 2.3 M GdmCl, 50% of the total denaturation induced change o...

REASSOCIATION AND REACTIVATION OF GLUCOSE 6-PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE FROM STREPTOMYCES AUREOFACIENS AFTER DENATURATION BY 6 M UREA

Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) from Streptomyces aureofaciens was purified and denatured in 6 M urea. Denaturation led to complete dissociation of the enzyme into its inactive monomers, 98% loss of the enzyme activity, about 30% decrease in the protein fluorescence and a 10 nm red shift in the emission maximum. Dilution of urea-denatured enzyme resulted in regaining of the enzyme acti...

Reversible 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...

Complete Reversible Refolding of a G-Protein Coupled Receptor on a Solid Support.

The factors defining the correct folding and stability of integral membrane proteins are poorly understood. Folding of only a few select membrane proteins has been scrutinised, leaving considerable deficiencies in knowledge for large protein families, such as G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Complete reversible folding, which is problematic for any membrane protein, has eluded this dominant...
