In addition, the dissociation constants of two methyl ester analogs of TP5 have been studied. Evidence is presented supporting an interaction between the arginine guanidino NϵH and the aspartate carboxylate of TP5. Binding of Ln3+ appears to be accompanied by a disruption (or weakening) of this interaction and a concomitant increase in the 180° rotamer population for the aspartate carboxylate group. The observed trends in the magnitudes of the dissociation constants and the rotamer populations appear to suggest that, although a significant amount of monodentate complexes may also exist, the metal ion binds predominantly to both carboxylates in a bidentate fashion.</div>","PeriodicalId":100165,"journal":{"name":"Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure","volume":"671 1","pages":"Pages 50-60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0005-2795(81)90093-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18078144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comparison was made with data obtained previously with the trivalent lanthanide cations (Ln3+). These results indicate that the first and subsequent Y ions (ionic radius 101.9 pm) behave exactly like Ln3+. Sc3+ is a smaller ion (87 pm) than any of the Ln3+. The first Sc3+ binds to a site on actin that is inaccessible to Mg2+, Y3+ and Ln3+. However, the second Sc3+ to bind behaves like an Ln3+. On replacing the native divalent cation (Mg2+), both Y3+ and Sc3+ mobilize the adenine ring of ATP bound to actin, thus exposing underlying residues to the solvent. When Y3+ and Sc3+ saturate their binding sites on actin, and when the ionic strength is raised to 0.1 M with KCI at pH 6.9, the actin aggregates. Y3+ binds to actin with a ratio of 6 : 1 and induces the aggregation of actin into crystalline actin tubes, whilstSc3+ Sc3+binds with a ratio of 8 : 1 and induces amorphous actin aggregates.

Changes in the Soret region, usually sensitive to the heme environment, were characterized by gradual increases in absorbance at 409 nm for low concentrations of NaClO4 and LiClO4. As denaturant concentrations were increased, the low-spin state of the ferric heme is altered, as seen by a maximum shift to shorter wavelengths (402–407 nm) accompanied by a further increase in absorbance in the Soret region. Unlike the effect of several organic denaturants and the above salts, denaturation in the presence of LiCl and CaCl2 resulted in an overall decrease in the Soret region with a blue-shift to 401 and 400 nm, respectively.
