Amiloidines fibriles formuojančių baltymų tyrimas / Investigation of amyloid fibrils forming proteinsPovilionienė, Simona 07 June 2011 (has links)
Savitvarkės biomolekulės, gebančios formuoti beta klosčių struktūras, gali būti pritaikomos nanomedžiagų su naujomis elektrinėmis, optinėmis, katalitinėmis ir/ar mechaninėmis savybėmis, kūrimui. Šiame darbe buvo siekiama kurti nanodarinius, grįstus amiloidines fibriles formuojančiais baltymais (Abeta40 peptidas, a-sinukleinas (a-Syn), kumelės pieno lizocimas (EL)), kurie būtų pagrindas nano dydžio funkcinių sistemų gamybai. Šiam tikslui buvo sukonstruoti mutantiniai ir hibridiniai baltymai bei tiriamos jų fibrilinių struktūrų savybės. Sukurti Abeta40 ir a-Syn cisteino mutantai, kurie gali būti modifikuojami per cisteino tiolinę grupę. Pirmą kartą buvo pademonstruotas a-Syncys141 baltymo fibrilių modifikavimas biotinu ir aukso nanodalelėmis su neutravidinu. Sukonstruoti hibridiniai baltymai, kurie sudaryti iš Abeta40 ar a-Syn bei GDH, streptavidino ir hidrofobino. Buvo tikimasi, kad tokie baltymai formuos fibrilines struktūras, o funkciniai baltymai bus aktyvūs. Esant atitinkamoms sąlygoms, šie baltymai agregavo suformuodami skirtingos morfologijos beta klostines struktūras. Streptavidino ir Abeta40 hibridinis baltymas formavo fibrilinę struktūrą – tinklą, o streptavidinas buvo aktyvus. Šiame darbe pirmą kartą aprašoma rekombinantinio EL gamyba E. coli ląstelėse. Aktyvus EL gali formuoti panašias į natyvaus EL fibrilines struktūras. Sukonstruoti nauji hibridiniai ir mutantiniai baltymai, gebantys formuoti amiloidines fibriles, yra geras pagrindas, kuriant funkcionalizuotus...

This work was directed towards the construction of nano-derivatives based on amyloid fibrils forming proteins (Abeta40 peptide, a-Synuclein (a-Syn), equine lysozyme (EL)). Such nanostructures can be used to produce nanoscale functional systems. Herein, different mutant and hybrid proteins, which were able to form fibrillar structures, were constructed and the properties of fibrils were investigated. Designed cysteine mutants of Abeta40 and a-Syn can be modified through thiol group of cysteine. Herein, for the first time, it was demonstrated that a-Syncys141 fibrils could be modified with biotin and gold nanoparticles with neutravidin molecules. Hybrid proteins of Abeta40 or a-Syn and other non-amyloid proteins were designed on purpose to obtain fibrils with active functional non-amyloid proteins. Under appropriate conditions, these proteins aggregated into beta-sheet structures. Hybrid protein of streptavidin and Abeta40 formed a net-like fibrillar structure, and streptavidin was active. For the first time it was described the production of recombinant EL in E. coli. Moreover, active EL can form fibrils, which are similar to the fibrils formed by native EL. Constructed novel hybrids and mutants that are able to form amyloid fibrils, can be applied for the creation of functionalized nanodevices... [to full text]

Interpreting a Giant : Studies of Structure and Function of Tripeptidyl-peptidase IIEklund, Sandra January 2011 (has links)
Tripeptidyl-peptidase II (TPP II) is a subtilisin-like serine peptidase that forms a gigantic homooligomeric complex, and is involved in the degradation of peptides in the cytosol. In addition, TPP II has been implicated in specific cellular processes, such as apoptosis control and adipogenesis, but if this is dependent on its endo- or exopeptidase activity remains to be determined. This work is devoted to the structure and function of TPP II, and to finding connections between the two. Evolutionarily conserved regions of TPP II have been identified, and sequence signatures have been constructed as an aid in identification of TPP II homologues. The conserved regions highlight amino acid residues of potential importance to structure, function or both. In addition, the first TPP II homologue in a prokaryote has been documented, which was likely the result of a horizontal gene transfer. Substrate binding for the exopeptidase activity of TPP II has been studied through mutagenesis of Glu-331, which revealed a molecular ruler mechanism that positions substrates for cleavage at the third peptide bond from the N-terminus. Thus, the well-known tripeptidyl-releasing property of TPP II could be explained. The exopeptidase activity was also probed by pH dependence studies, which revealed that a substrate with a smaller residue in the P1 position could bind non-productively to the active site. Furthermore, a difference in the pH dependence of KM between TPP II from Drosophila and homologues from mammals indicated a difference in the configuration of the binding pockets between these species. The endopeptidase activity of TPP II has also been investigated, and was found to differ from the exopeptidase activity. The endopeptidase activity appeared to be promiscuous and the preference for basic amino acid residues in the P1 position reported earlier could not be substantiated. In conclusion, many structural and mechanistic features have been observed in this work. This might be of value to future drug discovery efforts towards TPP II, and in elucidating the physiological role of this gigantic enzyme. / Felaktigt tryckt som Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 721

Rekombinantní exprese a funkční charakterizace rostlinných Kunitzových inhibitorů / Recombinant expression and functional characterization of plant Kunitz inhibitorsRybáriková, Renata January 2021 (has links)
PDI ("potato cathepsin D inhibitor ") and NID ("novel inhibitor of cathepsin D ") from potato (Solanum tuberosum) belong to the protein family of Kunitz inhibitors (I3 family, Merops database). These 20 kDa isoinhibitors with the typical β-trefoil architecture inhibit aspartic and serine peptidases. In this thesis, the constructs for recombinant expression of PDI and NID in the yeast Pichia pastoris system were prepared and high-producing colonies were selected. Both proteins were identified in the cultivation media by mass spectrometry and N-terminal sequencing. A purification protocol for PDI with three chromatographic steps was designed. Analogous functional properties were demonstrated for the purified recombinant PDI and the native PDI isolated from a natural source. Analysis of the inhibitory specificity showed that PDI is a potent inhibitor of selected aspartic peptidases from the A1 family and serine peptidases from the S1 family, including a relevant enzyme of insect origin. This finding supports the hypothesis that Kunitz inhibitors are involved in plant defense against herbivorous insects. The inhibitors prepared within the project will be used for analysis of the reactive centers against target peptidases by protein crystallography.
