The protective mechanism supporting the ability of fibrinogen to function in ROS-generating environment remains completely unexplored. The effects of very low and moderately low HOCl/⁻OCl concentrations on fibrinogen oxidative modifications, the fibrin network structure as well as the kinetics of both fibrinogen-to-fibrin conversion and fibrin hydrolysis have been explored in the current study. As opposed to 25 Μm, HOCl/⁻OCl, 10 μM HOCl/⁻OCl did not affect the functional activity of fibrinogen. It is shown for the first time that a number of Met residues, AαMet476, AαMet517, AαMet584, BβMet367, γMet264, and γMet94, identified in 10 μM HOCl/–OCl fibrinogen by the HPLC-MS/MS method, operate as ROS scavengers, performing an important antioxidant function. In turn, this indicates that the fibrinogen structure is adapted to the detrimental action of ROS. The results obtained in our study provide evidence for a protective mechanism responsible for maintaining the structure and functioning of fibrinogen molecules in the bloodstream under conditions of mild and moderate oxidative stress.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8760,"journal":{"name":"Biochimica et biophysica acta.

However, intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) structures are rather diverse, which raises questions about where the structure of apo-MTs fit into the protein structural spectrum. In this paper, the unfolding transitions of apo-MT1a are discussed with respect to the effect of the chemical denaturant GdmCl, temperature conditions, and pH environment. Cysteine modification in combination with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry was used to probe the unfolding transition of apo-MT1a in terms of cysteine exposure. Circular dichroism spectroscopy was also used to monitor the change in secondary structure as a function of GdmCl concentration. For both of these techniques, cooperative unfolding was observed, suggesting that apo-MT1a is not a random coil. More GdmCl was required to unfold the protein backbone than to expose the cysteines, indicating that cysteine exposure is likely an early step in the unfolding of apo-MT1a. MD simulations complement the experimental results, suggesting that apo-MT1a adopts a more compact structure than expected for a random coil. Overall, these results provide further insight into the intrinsically disordered structure of apo-MT.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8760,"journal":{"name":"Biochimica et biophysica acta.

We previously studied kinetic behaviours and solved the crystal structure of wild-type (WT) <em>Lactococcus lactis</em> prolidase (<em>Ll</em>prol), showing that this homodimeric enzyme has unique characteristics: allosteric behaviour and substrate inhibition. In this study, we focused on solving the crystal structures of three <em>Ll</em>prol mutants (D36S, H38S, and R293S) which behave differently in <em>v</em>-<em>S</em> plots.

The crystal structures of <em>Ll</em>prol variants suggest that the active site of <em>Ll</em>prol formed with amino acid residues from both monomers, <em>i.e.</em>, located in an interfacial area of dimer. The comparison between the structure models of <em>Ll</em>prol indicated that the two monomers in the dimers of <em>Ll</em>prol variants have different relative positions among <em>Ll</em>prol variants. They showed different interatomic distances between the amino acid residues bridging the two monomers and varied sizes of the solvent-accessible interface areas in each <em>Ll</em>prol variant. These observations indicated that <em>Ll</em>prol could adapt to different conformational states with distinctive substrate affinities. It is strongly speculated that the domain movements required for productive substrate binding are restrained in allosteric <em>Ll</em>prol (WT and H38S). At low substrate concentrations, only one out of the two active sites at the dimer interface could accept substrate; as a result, the asymmetrical activated dimer leads to allosteric behaviour.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8760,"journal":{"name":"Biochimica et biophysica acta.

The long β₄-β₅ loop of the FKBP domain is known to regulate transcriptional activity for the steroid hormone receptors and appears to participate in regulating calcium channel activity for the cardiac and skeletal muscle ryanodine receptors. The β₄-β₅ loop of FKBP12 has been shown to undergo extensive conformational dynamics, and here we report hydrogen exchange measurements for a series of mutational variants in that loop which indicate deviations from a two-state kinetics for those dynamics. In addition to a previously characterized local transition near the tip of this loop, evidence is presented for a second site of conformational dynamics in the stem of this loop. These mutation-dependent hydrogen exchange effects extend beyond the β₄-β₅ loop, primarily by disrupting the hydrogen bond between the Gly 58 amide and the Tyr 80 carbonyl oxygen which links the two halves of the structural rim that surrounds the active site cleft. Mutationally-induced opening of the cleft between Gly 58 and Tyr 80 not only modulates the global stability of the protein, it promotes a conformational transition in the distant β₂-β_3a hairpin that modulates the binding affinity for a FKBP51-selective inhibitor previously designed to exploit a localized conformational transition at the homologous site.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8760,"journal":{"name":"Biochimica et biophysica acta.
