Background: Betatrophin, a novel secretory protein from liver and fatty tissues, is believed to be involved in lipid and glucose metabolism. However, its precise physiological role remains unclear. Here, we report the cloning, expression, and purification steps of mouse betatrophin in a prokaryotic system, followed by its structural analysis. Methods: Specific cloning primers were...
The structural integrity of the ubiquitous enzyme copper, zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) depends critically on the correct coordination of zinc and copper. We investigate here the roles of the stoichiometric zinc and copper ions in modulating the oxidative refolding of reduced, denatured bovine erythrocyte SOD1 at physiological pH and room temperature. Fluorescence experiment results showed t...
This review focuses on the current view of the interaction between the β-barrel scaffold of fluorescent proteins and their unique chromophore located in the internal helix. The chromophore originates from the polypeptide chain and its properties are influenced by the surrounding protein matrix of the β-barrel. On the other hand, it appears that a chromophore tightens the β-barrel scaffold and p...
Enteropeptidase is a serine protease used in different biotechnological applications. For many applications the smaller light chain can be used to avoid the expression of the rather large holoenzyme. Recombinant human enteropeptidase light chain (hEPL) shows high activity but low solubility and refolding yields, currently limiting its use in biotechnological applications. Here we describe sever...
Production of membrane-associated cell surface receptors and their ligands is often a cumbersome, expensive, and time-consuming process that limits detailed structural and functional characterization of this important class of proteins. Here we report a rapid method for refolding inclusion-body-based, recombinant cell surface receptors and ligands in one day, a speed equivalent to that of solub...
L-Arginine (Arg or R) is a non-toxigenic, metabolically versatile and conditionally essential amino acid. Single-pot synthesis of Arg modified magnetic nanoparticles (RMNPs) was achieved using magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) and binary function of Arg as a functional group and an alkali precipitator. This modification is supposed to offer several advantages to the MNPs from a bio-application vie...
Despite their prevalence in biological systems, information about the folding pathways of large and multidomain proteins is meager, as they often unfold irreversibly under in vitro conditions which make their folding studies difficult or even impossible. The folding mechanism of a large (82 kDa) and multidomain protein Malate synthase G (MSG) has been demonstrated in the present study using int...
The refolding kinetics of a single-chain Fv (scFv) fragment, derived from the phosphorylcholine binding antibody McPC603, was investigated. Both prolyl-peptide bonds which are cis in the native state affect the refolding kinetics of long-term denatured protein. The rate-limiting step is the trans --> cis isomerization at the ProL95-peptide bond, which is catalyzed by peptidyl-prolyl-cis/trans-i...
Several ionic liquids (ILs) are known to revert aggregation processes and improve the in vitro refolding of denatured proteins. In this paper the capacity of a particular class of ammonium based ILs to act as refolding enhancers was tested using lysozyme as a model protein. Raman spectra of ILs treated fibrillar lysozyme as well as lysozyme in its native and fibrillar conformations were collect...
MOTIVATION Single-molecule force spectroscopy has facilitated the experimental investigation of biomolecular force-coupled kinetics, from which the kinetics at zero force can be extrapolated via explicit theoretical models. The atomic force microscope (AFM) in particular is routinely used to study protein unfolding kinetics, but only rarely protein folding kinetics. The discrepancy arises becau...
