Secondary And Tertiary Structure

Near-u.v. and far-u.v. c.d. spectra of bovine testis calmodulin and its tryptic fragments (TR1C, N-terminal half, residues 1-77, and TR2C, C-terminal half, residues 78-148) were recorded in metal-ion-free buffer and in the presence of saturating concentrations of Ca2+ or Cd2+ under a range of different solvent conditions. The results show the following: if there is any interaction between the N-terminal and C-terminal halves of calmodulin, it has not apparent effect on the secondary or tertiary structure of either half; the conformational changes induced by Ca2+ or Cd2+ are substantially greater in TR2C than they are in TR1C; the presence of Ca2+ or Cd2+ confers considerable stability with respect to urea-induced denaturation, both for the whole molecule and for either of the tryptic fragments; a thermally induced transition occurs in whole calmodulin at temperatures substantially below the temperature of major thermal unfolding, both in the presence and in the absence of added metal ion; the effects of Cd2+ are identical with those of Ca2+ under all conditions studied.

ABSTRACT The two-component alkanesulfonate monooxygenase system utilizes reduced flavin as a substrate to catalyze a unique desulfonation reaction during times of sulfur starvation. The importance of protein-protein interactions in the mechanism of flavin transfer was analyzed in these studies. The results from affinity chromatography and cross-linking experiments support the formation of a stable complex between the flavin mononucleotide (FMN) reductase (SsuE) and monooxygenase (SsuD). Interactions between the two proteins do not lead to overall conformational changes in protein structure, as indicated by the results from circular dichroism spectroscopy in the far-UV region. However, subtle changes in the flavin environment of FMN-bound SsuE that occur in the presence of SsuD were identified by circular dichroism spectroscopy in the visible region. These data are supported by the results from fluorescent spectroscopy experiments, where a dissociation constant of 0.0022 ± 0.0010 μM was obtained for the binding of SsuE to SsuD. Based on these studies, the stoichiometry for protein-protein interactions is proposed to involve a 1:1 monomeric association of SsuE with SsuD.
