Residence times of the buried water molecules in bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor and its G36S mutant

Abstract

The three-dimensional structure of the bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) contains 4 internal water molecules, denoted W111, W112, W113, and W122, the latter being replaced by a seryl side chain in the BPTI(G36S) analogue. To investigate the effect of the exchange between these explicit water sites and the bulk solvent, we have measured water 17O and 2H nuclear magnetic relaxation in solutions of BPTI and the G36S mutant over the Larmor frequency range 2.6-49 MHz. A comparison of the data from the two nuclei shows unequivocally that the isolated buried water molecule, W122, of BPTI contributes only to 2H, but not to 17O relaxation, while the other 3 waters contribute fully to the relaxation of both nuclei. This demonstrates that the residence time of W122 is in the range 10-200 microseconds, while the residence times of W111-W113 are in the range 15 ns-1 microseconds. The slower exchange of W122 indicates that the functionally active region of BPTI, near the Cys14-Cys38 disulfide bond, is less flexible than the central region of BPTI, where the other 3 buried waters are located.

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.
