We have designed novel macromolecular coordination ligands (MCLs) by conjugation of thermoresponsive polymers based on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (M ̅_n around 3 to 25 kg∙mol-1) with 1,2,4-triazole coordination sites. These triazole units...

Sequence Similarities

Human haptoglobin (Hp) has been shown to have chaperone-like activity in preventing thermally induced aggregation of catalase and γ-crystallin. No differences in the chaperone- like behaviour of genetic types Hp 1-1 and a mixture of types Hp 2-1 and Hp 2-2 (i.e. Hp II) were found. Haptoglobin not only suppresses heat-induced aggregation of proteins but also prevents γ-crystallin from aggregation by oxidative stress. In addition, haptoglobin also provides protection against glycation-induced inactivation of catalase by glyceraldehyde. Chaperone-like activity of haptoglobin decreases in the course of its glycation. Refolding studies have shown that Hp exhibits its chaperone-like activity predominantly on the unfolding and not on the refolding pathway. Although Hp and α-crystallin have no sequence similarities, it seems that their chaperone-like activities are of the same type.

Induced Aggregation

Small heat-shock proteins (sHSPs), an abundant and ubiquitous family of molecular chaperones, can effectively prevent irreversible aggregation of non-native proteins by forming soluble complex. The CLA of sHSPs is usually determined by the capacity to suppress thermally or chemically induced protein aggregation. Various factors can effectively influence the CLA, and among them the ionic strength of the preparation and working buffer is an important factor. The study deals with the effect of ionic strength of buffer on the CLA of two silkworm sHSPs: namely sHSP19.9 and sHSP20.8 against the thermally-induced aggregation of BLC, a non-native protein. The study clearly revealed that sHSP19.9 required high ionic strength (more NaCl concentration) in reaction buffer to prevent irreversible aggregation of BLC. On the other hand, such high ionic strength condition is not necessary for sHSP20.8 but it influences the activity in some context.J. Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 12(2): 241-249, December 2014

About ten genes responsible for small heat-shock proteins (sHSP) have been isolated from silkworm. sHSP19.9 is one of the important member among them. Heat-induced stability of the sHSP was investigated at 60ºC with 20 mM HEPES buffer pH 7.7 containing 10 mM NaCl (low-ionic strength). Along with it probable suppression of the aggregation was also examined. At the mentioned reaction medium, sHSP19.9 was observed to be aggregated on the concentration- and time-dependent manners. It was successfully suppressed with dithiothreitol (DTT), higher-ionic strengths, Cysteine residues modifications and molecular chaperone: sHSP20.8.Bang. J. Anim. Sci. 2017. 46 (1): 57-64
