Inactivation during denaturation of ribonuclease A by guanidinium chloride is accompanied by unfolding at the active site.
Inactivation of pancreatic RNAase A occurs in guanidinium chloride (GdmCl) at low concentrations before the unfolding of the molecule as a whole can be detected [Liu and Tsou (1987) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 916, 455-464]. We have now shown that the rate of digestion of the RNAase molecule by either trypsin or proteinase K increases significantly at low concentrations of GdmCl where the enzyme is ...
متن کاملTwo-phase unfolding pathway of ribonuclease A during denaturation induced by dithiothreitol.
The dynamics of the unfolding process of bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A (RNase A) unfolded by dithiothreitol (DTT) at a low concentration of 1:30 were investigated in alkaline phosphate-buffered saline solutions at 303K and 313K by using proton nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H NMR) spectra. Three NMR spectral parameters including Shannon entropy, mutual information, and correlation coefficien...
متن کاملGuanidinium chloride denaturation of the dimeric Bacillus licheniformis BlaI repressor highlights an independent domain unfolding pathway.
The Bacillus licheniformis 749/I BlaI repressor is a prokaryotic regulator that, in the absence of a beta-lactam antibiotic, prevents the transcription of the blaP gene, which encodes the BlaP beta-lactamase. The BlaI repressor is composed of two structural domains. The 82-residue NTD (N-terminal domain) is a DNA-binding domain, and the CTD (C-terminal domain) containing the next 46 residues is...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics studies on the denaturation of polyalanine in the presence of guanidinium chloride at low concentration
Molecular dynamic simulation is a powerful method that monitors all variations in the atomic level in explicit solvent. By this method we can calculate many chemical and biochemical properties of large scale biological systems. In this work all-atom molecular dynamics simulation of polyalanine (PA) was investigated in the presence of 0.224, 0.448, 0.673, 0.897 and 1.122 M of guanidinium chlorid...
متن کاملConformational changes at the active site of creatine kinase at low concentrations of guanidinium chloride.
It has been previously reported that, during denaturation of creatine kinase by guanidinium chloride (GdmCl) or urea [Tsou (1986), Trends Biochem. Sci. 11, 427-429], inactivation occurs before noticeable conformational change can be detected, and it is suggested that the conformation at the active site is more easily perturbed and hence more flexible than the molecule as a whole. In this study,...
