RESUMEN

The Y509E mutant of ß-xylosidase from Geobacillus stearothermophilus (XynB2Y509E) (which also bears xylanase activity) has been immobilized in chitosan spheres through either entrapment or covalent bond formation methods. The maximum immobilization yield by entrapment was achieved by chitosan beads developed using a 2% chitosan solution after 1 h of maturation time in CFG buffer with ethanol. On the other hand, the highest value in covalent bond immobilization was observed when employing chitosan beads that were prepared from a 2% chitosan solution after 4 h of activation in 1% glutaraldehyde solution at pH 8. The activity expressed after immobilization by covalent bonding was 23% higher compared to the activity expressed following entrapment immobilization, with values of 122.3 and 99.4 IU.g-1, respectively. Kinetic data revealed that catalytic turnover values were decreased as compared to a free counterpart. Both biocatalysts showed increased thermal and pH stability, along with an improved storage capacity, as they retained 88% and 40% of their activity after being stored at 4 °C for two months. Moreover, XynB2Y509E immobilized by covalent binding also exhibited outstanding reusability, retaining 92% of activity after 10 cycles of reuse. In conclusion, our results suggest that the covalent bond method appears to be the best choice for XynB2Y509E immobilization.

RESUMEN

Cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) of the Y509E mutant of glycoside hydrolase family 52 ß-xylosidase from Geobacillus stearothermophilus with dual activity of ß-xylosidase and xylanase (XynB2Y509E) were prepared. Ammonium sulfate was used as the precipitant agent, and glutaraldehyde as cross-linking agent. The optimum conditions were found to be 90% ammonium sulfate, 12.5 mM glutaraldehyde, 3 h of cross-linking reaction at 25 °C, and pH 8.5. Under these (most effective) conditions, XynB2Y509E-CLEAs retained 92.3% of their original ß-xylosidase activity. Biochemical characterization of both crude and immobilized enzymes demonstrated that the maximum pH and temperature after immobilization remained unchanged (pH 6.5 and 65 °C). Moreover, an improvement in pH stability and thermostability was also found after immobilization. Analysis of kinetic parameters shows that the K m value of XynB2Y509E-CLEAs obtained was slightly higher than that of free XynB2Y509E (1.2 versus 0.9 mM). Interestingly, the xylanase activity developed by the mutation was also conserved after the immobilization process.

RESUMEN

BRMS1 is a 246-residue-long protein belonging to the family of metastasis suppressors. It is a predominantly nuclear protein, although it can also function in the cytoplasm. At its C terminus, it has a region that is predicted to be a nuclear localization sequence (NLS); this region, NLS2, is necessary for metastasis suppression. We have studied in vitro and in silico the conformational preferences in aqueous solution of a peptide (NLS2-pep) that comprises the NLS2 of BRMS1, to test whether it has a preferred conformation that could be responsible for its function. Our spectroscopic (far-UV circular dichroism, DOSY-NMR and 2D-NMR) and computational (all-atom molecular dynamics) results indicate that NLS2-pep was disordered in aqueous solution. Furthermore, it did not acquire a structure even when experiments were performed in a more hydrophobic environment, such as the one provided by 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE). The hydrodynamic radius of the peptide in water was identical to that of a random-coil sequence, in agreement with both our molecular simulations and other theoretical predictions. Thus, we suggest that NLS2 is a disordered region, with non pre-formed structure, that participates in metastasis suppression.

RESUMEN

The LrtA protein of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 intervenes in cyanobacterial post-stress survival and in stabilizing 70S ribosomal particles. It belongs to the hibernating promoting factor (HPF) family of proteins, involved in protein synthesis. In this work, we studied the conformational preferences and stability of isolated LrtA in solution. At physiological conditions, as shown by hydrodynamic techniques, LrtA was involved in a self-association equilibrium. As indicated by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), circular dichroism (CD) and fluorescence, the protein acquired a folded, native-like conformation between pH 6.0 and 9.0. However, that conformation was not very stable, as suggested by thermal and chemical denaturations followed by CD and fluorescence. Theoretical studies of its highly-charged sequence suggest that LrtA had a Janus sequence, with a context-dependent fold. Our modelling and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations indicate that the protein adopted the same fold observed in other members of the HPF family (ß-α-ß-ß-ß-α) at its N-terminal region (residues 1­100), whereas the C terminus (residues 100­197) appeared disordered and collapsed, supporting the overall percentage of overall secondary structure obtained by CD deconvolution. Then, LrtA has a chameleonic sequence and it is the first member of the HPF family involved in a self-association equilibrium, when isolated in solution.

RESUMEN

It is possible to analyze peroxidase (POD) from different vegetable sources by electrophoresis. Zymography, i.e., a SDS-PAGE method to detect enzyme activity, is used to specifically detect POD activity and to visualize the total protein profile. For this purpose, we describe how a radish homogenate is prepared and submitted first to electrophoresis, and then, the POD activity present in the gel is reactivated and selectively stained using guaiacol as substrate. After scanning the gel, the same gel is further stained with Coomassie blue to determine the whole protein profile of the sample.

RESUMEN

Lipase and protease present in cell-free fractions of thermophilic Bacillus sp. cultures were analyzed by polyacrylamide gel (PAG) electrophoresis. After run, the gel is electrotransferred to another PAG copolymerized with glycerol tributyrate, olive oil, and gelatin. This multi-substrate gel was incubated first for lipase detection, until bands appeared, and then stained with Coomassie for protease detection. Advantages of this sequential procedure are the detection of two different enzyme activities on a single PAG, beside time and resource saving.

RESUMEN

Lipases are esterases that occur widely in nature, yet those with commercial relevance are exclusively from microbial origin. Glycerol and long-chain fatty acids are the products after hydrolysis of esters bonds in saponifiable lipids catalyzed by lipases. In this work, we describe lipase/esterase activity contained in cell-free fractions from thermophilic bacteria, cultured in medium containing olive oil. Analysis of the cell-free fractions by electrotransference zymography, using tributyrin as substrate, revealed bands corresponding to lipase activity. The method is simple, fast, and inexpensive.

RESUMEN

Amylase zymography was carried out for the detection of amylases produced by a Geobacillus stearothermophilus strain isolated from the Thermal Center "Las Trincheras" in Venezuela. Zymography is an electrophoretic technique used to study hydrolases by means of thin gels containing copolymerized-specific substrates, under nonreducing conditions. In this study, 0.1% starch was incorporated into the gel as substrate. The formation of clear zones against a dark background in the gel stained with iodine indicated the presence of amylolytic activity. The thermophilic bacteria released several extracellular amylases to a selective growth medium supplemented with 1% soluble starch at 55 °C after 40 h incubation. The amylolytic enzymes showed an optimum temperature of 60 °C and an optimum pH at 6.0. The amylases were partially purified by cold acetone precipitation followed by two chromatographic techniques. These purified amylases showed different molecular masses which were determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis and confirmed by zymography.

RESUMEN

AIMS: The ferric uptake regulator (Fur) is the main transcriptional regulator of genes involved in iron homeostasis in most prokaryotes. FurA from Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 contains five cysteine residues, four of them arranged in two redox-active CXXC motifs. The protein needs not only metal but also reducing conditions to remain fully active in vitro. Through a mutational study of the cysteine residues present in FurA, we have investigated their involvement in metal and DNA binding. RESULTS: Residue C101 that belongs to a conserved CXXC motif plays an essential role in both metal and DNA binding activities in vitro. Substitution of C101 by serine impairs DNA and metal binding abilities of FurA. Isothermal titration calorimetry measurements show that the redox state of C101 is responsible for the protein ability to coordinate the metal corepressor. Moreover, the redox state of C101 varies with the presence or absence of C104 or C133, suggesting that the environments of these cysteines are mutually interdependent. INNOVATION: We propose that C101 is part of a thiol/disulfide redox switch that determines FurA ability to bind the metal corepressor. CONCLUSION: This mechanism supports a novel feature of a Fur protein that emerges as a regulator, which connects the response to changes in the intracellular redox state and iron management in cyanobacteria.

RESUMEN

This laboratory exercise presents a novel way to introduce undergraduate students to the specific detection of enzymatic activity by electrophoresis. First, students prepare a crude peroxidase extract and then analyze the homogenate via electrophoresis. Zymography, that is, a SDS-PAGE method to detect enzyme activity, is used to specifically detect peroxidase activity and furthermore, to analyze the total protein profile. After the assay, students may estimate the apparent molecular mass of the enzyme and discuss its structure. After the 4-h experiment, students gain knowledge concerning biological sample preparation, gel preparation, electrophoresis, and the importance of specific staining procedures for the detection of enzymatic activity.

RESUMEN

Analysis of lipases and proteases present in cell-free fractions of thermophilic Bacillus sp. cultures were performed in an enhanced sequential zymography method. After the PAGE run, the gel was electrotransferred to another polyacrylamide gel containing a mixture of glycerol tributyrate, olive oil and gelatin. After transference, this substrate-mix gel was incubated for lipase detection, until bands appeared, and later stained with CBB for protease detection. Assets are, besides detecting two enzymes on a single gel, time and material saving.

RESUMEN

Bacteriocins belong to the wide variety of antimicrobial ribosomal peptides synthesised by bacteria. Enterococci are Gram-positive, catalase-negative bacteria that produce lactic acid as the major end product of glucose fermentation. Many enterococcal strains produce bacteriocins, named enterocins. We describe in this work, the structural characterisation of the 44 residues-long enterocin EJ97, produced by Enterococcus faecalis EJ97. To this end, we have used a combined theoretical and experimental approach. First, we have characterised experimentally the conformational properties of EJ97 in solution under different conditions by using a number of spectroscopic techniques, namely fluorescence, CD, FTIR and NMR. Then, we have used several bioinformatic tools as an aid to complement the experimental information about the conformational properties of EJ97. We have shown that EJ97 is monomeric in aqueous solution and that it appears to be chiefly unfolded, save some flickering helical- or turn-like structures, probably stabilised by hydrophobic clustering. Accordingly, EJ97 does not show a cooperative sigmoidal transition when heated or upon addition of GdmCl. These conformational features are essentially pH-independent, as shown by NMR assignments at pHs 5.9 and 7.0. The computational results were puzzling, since some algorithms revealed the natively unfolded character of EJ97 (FoldIndex, the mean scaled hydropathy), whereas some others suggested the presence of ordered structure in its central region (PONDR, RONN and IUPRED). A future challenge is to produce much more experimental results to aid the development of accurate software tools for predicting disorder in proteins.

RESUMEN

The N-succinylamino acid racemases (NSAAR) belong to the enolase superfamily and they are large homooctameric/hexameric species that require a divalent metal ion for activity. We describe the structure and stability of NSAAR from Geobacillus kaustophilus (GkNSAAR) in the absence and in the presence of Co(2+) by using hydrodynamic and spectroscopic techniques. The Co(2+), among other assayed divalent ions, provides the maximal enzymatic activity at physiological pH. The protein seems to be a tetramer with a rather elongated shape, as shown by AU experiments; this is further supported by the modeled structure, which keeps intact the largest tetrameric oligomerization interfaces observed in other homooctameric members of the family, but it does not maintain the octameric oligomerization interfaces. The native functional structure is mainly formed by alpha-helix, as suggested by FTIR and CD deconvoluted spectra, with similar percentages of structure to those observed in other protomers of the enolase superfamily. At low pH, the protein populates a molten-globule-like conformation. The GdmCl denaturation occurs through a monomeric intermediate, and thermal denaturation experiments indicate a high thermostability. The presence of the cofactor Co(2+) did alter slightly the secondary structure, but it did not modify substantially the stability of the protein. Thus, GkNSAAR is one of the few members of the enolase family whose conformational propensities and stability have been extensively characterized.

RESUMEN

RYBP (Ring1A and YY1 binding protein) is a zinc finger protein with an essential role during embryonic development, which binds transcriptional factors, Polycomb products, and mediators of apoptosis, suggesting roles in, apparently, unrelated functions. To investigate mechanisms underlying its association with functionally diverse partners, we set out to study its structural properties using a number of biophysical (fluorescence, circular dichroism, Fourier transform infrared, and NMR spectroscopies) and hydrodynamic (analytical ultracentrifugation, DOSY-NMR, and gel filtration chromatography) techniques. We find RYBP to be a noncompact protein with little residual secondary structure, lacking a well-defined tertiary structure. These observations are also supported by theoretical calculations using neural networks and pairwise energy content, suggesting that RYBP is a natively unfolded protein. In addition, structural studies on its binding to the C-terminal region of the Polycomb protein Ring1B or to DNA show conformational changes in the complexed RYBP, consistent with the acquisition of a folded structure. The data provide a structural explanation for RYBP engagement in functionally unrelated pathways by means of its assembly into various macromolecular complexes as an unstructured protein with the ability to acquire a well-structured fold due to its association with different partners.

RESUMEN

Xylans are the most abundant polysaccharides forming the plant cell wall hemicelluloses, and they are degraded, among other proteins, by beta-xylosidase enzymes. In this work, the structural and biophysical properties of the family 52 beta-xylosidase from Geobacillus stearothermophilus, XynB2, are described. Size exclusion chromatography, analytical centrifugation, ITC, CD, fluorescence (steady state and ANS-binding) and FTIR were used to obtain the structure, the oligomerization state and the conformational changes of XynB2, as pH, chemical denaturants or temperature were modified. This report describes the first extensive conformational characterization of a family 52 beta-xylosidase. The active protein was a highly hydrated dimer, whose active site was formed by the two protomers, and it probably involved aromatic residues. At low pH, the protein was not active and it populated a monomeric molten-globule-like species, which had a conformational transition with a pK(a) of approximately 4.0. Thermal and chemical-denaturations of the native protein showed hysteresis behaviour. The protein at physiological pH was formed by alpha-helix (30%) and beta-sheet (30%), as shown by CD and FTIR. Comparison with other xylosidases of the same family indicates that the percentages of secondary structure seem to be conserved among the members of the family.

RESUMEN

We have used two-dimensional infrared correlation spectroscopy (2D-IR) to study the interaction and conformation of cytochrome c in the presence of a binary phospholipid mixture composed of a zwitterionic perdeuterated phospholipid and a negatively-charged one. The influence of the main temperature phase transition of the phospholipid model membranes on the conformation of cytochrome c has been evaluated by monitoring both the Amide I' band of the protein and the CH(2) and CD(2) stretching bands of the phospholipids. Synchronous 2D-IR analysis has been used to determine the different secondary structure components of cytochrome c which are involved in the specific interaction with the phospholipids, revealing the existence of a specific interaction between the protein with cardiolipin-containing vesicles but not with phosphatidic acid-containing ones. Interestingly, 2D-IR is capable of showing the existence of significant changes in the protein conformation at the same time that the phospholipid transition occurs. In summary, 2D-IR revealed an important effect of the phospholipid phase transition of cardiolipin on the secondary structure of oxidized cytochrome c but not to either reduced cytochrome c or in the presence of phosphatidic acid, demonstrating the existence of specific intermolecular interactions between cardiolipin and cytochrome c.

RESUMEN

The isolation, purification, biochemical and biophysical characterization of the first reported beta-xylosidase from Geobacillus pallidus are described. The protein has an optimum pH close to 8 and an optimum temperature of 70 degrees C. These biochemical properties agree with those obtained by spectroscopic techniques, namely, circular dichroism (CD), infrared (FTIR) and fluorescence measurements. Thermal denaturation, followed by CD and FTIR, showed an apparent thermal denaturation midpoint close to 80 degrees C. The protein was probably a hydrated trimer in solution with, an elongated shape, as shown by gel filtration experiments. FTIR deconvolution spectra indicated that the protein contains a high percentage of alpha-helix (44%) and beta-sheet (40%). The sequencing of the N terminus and the biochemical features indicate that this new member of beta-xylosidases belongs to the GH52 family. Since there are no reported structural studies of any member of this family, our studies provide the first clue for the full conformational characterization of this protein family.

RESUMEN

In Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, a dimorphic fungus pathogenic for humans, no significant differences were observed in the phospholipid species of both morphological phases. The species observed were phosphatidylcholine (PC, 30-40%), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE, 27-28%), phosphatidylserine (16-19%), phosphatidylinositol (13-17%) and sphingomyelin (3-5%). The main fatty acids found in the yeast (Y) phase were palmitate (56%), linoleate (18%) and oleate (15%), while linoleate predominated (61%) in the mycelial (M) phase, followed by palmitate (27%) and oleate (7%). In the Y phase the main free sterol was ergosta-5,22-dien-3 beta-ol (82%) plus some lanosterol (12%) and ergosterol (6%), while in the M phase, the latter predominated (88%), followed by low levels of ergosta-5,22-dien-3 beta-ol (12%). Ajoene [(E,Z)-4,5,9-trithiadodeca-1,6,11-triene 9-oxide], a platelet aggregation inhibitor derived from garlic, induced alterations in phospholipid and fatty acid proportions such that PC was reduced to about 18% in both phases and PE increased to 38% (Y phase) or 44% (M phase), suggesting inhibition of PC synthesis. Ajoene also reduced saturated fatty acids (16:0 and 18:0) from 67 to 35% in the Y phase, with a corresponding increase in the unsaturated components. This effect was not seen in the M phase.
