Abstract

beta-Lactoglobulin (beta LG) is a predominantly beta-sheet protein with a markedly high helical propensity and forms non-native alpha-helical intermediate in the refolding process. We measured the refolding reaction of beta LG with various techniques and characterized the folding kinetics and the structure of the intermediate formed within the burst phase of measurements, i.e. the burst-phase intermediate. Time-resolved stopped-flow X-ray scattering measurements using the integral intensity of scattering show that beta LG forms a compact, globular structure within 30 ms of refolding. The averaged radius of gyration within 100 ms is only 1.1 times larger than that in the native state, ensuring that the burst-phase intermediate is compact. The presence of a maximum peak in a Kratky plot shows a globular shape attained within 100 ms of refolding. Stopped-flow circular dichroism, tryptophan absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy show that pronounced secondary structure regains rapidly in the burst phase with concurrent non-native alpha-helix formation, and that the subsequent compaction process is accompanied by annealing of non-native secondary structure and slow acquisition of tertiary structure. These findings strongly suggest...Continue Reading

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure (ASM)

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
