Hydrophobic interactions control zymogen activation in the trypsin family of serine proteases

Biochemistry

Abstract

Trypsinogen is converted to trypsin by the removal of a peptide from the N terminus, which permits formation of a salt bridge between the new N-terminal Ile (residue 16) and Asp194. Formation of this salt bridge triggers a conformational change in the "activation domain" of trypsin, creating the S1 binding site and oxyanion hole. Thus, the activation of trypsinogen appears to represent an example of protein folding driven by electrostatic interactions. The following trypsin mutants have been constructed to explore this problem: Asp194Asn, Ile16Val, Ile16Ala, and Ile16Gly. The bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI), benzamidine, and leupeptin affinities and activity and pH-rate profiles of these mutants have been measured. The changes in BPTI and benzamidine affinity measure destabilization of the activation domain. These experiments indicate that hydrophobic interactions of the Ile16 side chain provide 5 kcal/mol of stabilization energy to the activation domain while the salt bridge accounts for 3 kcal/mol. Thus, hydrophobic interactions provide the majority of stabilization energy for the trypsinogen to trypsin conversion. The pH-rate profiles of I16A and I16G are significantly different than the pH-rate profile of trypsin...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
