Binding Behaviour

Rabbit anti-(bovine prothrombin fragment 1) antibodies were fractionated by using fragment-1 affinity chromatography in the absence of metal ions, and showed an absolute requirement for the presence of metal ions in their interactions with bovine fragment 1 or prothrombin. These antibodies were employed to evaluate both the rate constants for a protein conformation change and the equilibrium metal-ion binding to isolated bovine fragment 1 and intact prothrombin. The close similarity of the rates obtained for the conformation change in fragment 1 and those observed in prothrombin indicated that the same process is involved in both proteins and that the non-fragment-1 region of the prothrombin has essentially no effect on this process in the fragment-1 region. Equilibrium metal-ion-binding studies indicate that the details of the metal-ion-binding process in fragment 1 and prothrombin are essentially the same. We conclude that the metal-ion-binding behaviour of the fragment-1 domain of intact prothrombin is identical with that of isolated fragment 1.

We report herein, the synthesis, and spectral and electrochemical characterization of a series of phthalocyaninato zinc complexes where two biomedically potential structures; crown ether and phthalocyanine moities were gathered on the same molecule. The effect of number of crown ether moieties on metal ion binding properties, as well as proton sensitivity were investigated by using electronic absorption and fluorescence emission spectra. Spectral behaviors of the zinc phthalocyanine complexes fused with one crown ether; Zn [ Pc (15 C 5)( C 6 H 13)6] and four crown ether; Zn [ Pc (15 C 5)4] in presence of Na + and K + ions were investigated into detail because of host-guest interactions of subjective ions with crown ether moieties, and compared with the crown ether free phthalocyanine; Zn [ Pc ( C 6 H 13)8].

Isomeric Equilibria

The acidity constants of the twofold protonated nucleotide analogue 1-[2-(phosphonomethoxy)ethyl]cytosine, H2(PMEC)±, as well as the stability constants of the M(H;PMEC)+ and M(PMEC) complexes with the metal ions M2+ = Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, and Cd2+ have been determined by potentiometric pH titrations in aqueous solution at I = 0.1 M (NaNO3) and 25 °C. Comparison with previous results for the nucleobase-free compound (phosphonomethoxy)ethane, PME, and the parent nucleotides cytidine 5'-monophosphate (CMP2-) and 2'-deoxycytidine 5'-monophosphate (dCMP2-) shows that the metal ion-binding properties of PMEC2- resemble closely those of PME2-: This means, the primary binding site is the phosphonate group and with all of the metal ions studied, 5-membered chelates involving the ether oxygen of the -CH2-O-CH2-PO32- chain are formed. The position of the isomeric equilibria between these chelates and the "open" complexes, -PO32-/M2+ is calculated; the degree of formation of the chelates is identical within the error limits for the M(PME) and M(PMEC) systems. Hence, like in M(CMP) and M(dCMP) no interaction occurs with the cytosine residue in the M(PMEC) complexes. However, the monoprotonated M(H;PMEC)+ as well as the M(H;CMP)+ and M(dCMP)+ species carry the metal ion predominantly at the nucleobase, while the proton is at the phosph(on)ate group. The coordinating properties of PMEC2- and CMP2- or dCMP2- differ thus only with respect to the possible formation of the 5-membered chelates involving the ether oxygen in M(PMEC) species, a possibility which does not exist in the complexes of the parent nucleotides. Possible reasons why PMEC is devoid of a significant antiviral activity are shortly discussed.

The functional properties of the recombinant C-terminal dimerization domain of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Fur (ferric uptake regulator) protein expressed in and purified from Escherichia coli have been evaluated. Sedimentation velocity measurements demonstrate that this domain is dimeric, and the UV CD spectrum is consistent with a secondary structure similar to that observed for the corresponding region of the crystallographically characterized wild-type protein. The thermal stability of the domain as determined by CD spectroscopy decreases significantly as pH is increased and increases significantly as metal ions are added. Potentiometric titrations (pH 6.5) establish that the domain possesses a high-affinity and a low-affinity binding site for metal ions. The high-affinity (sensory) binding site demonstrates association constants (KA) of 10(±7)×106, 5.7(±3)×106, 2.0(±2)×106 and 2.0(±3)×104 M−1 for Ni2+, Zn2+, Co2+ and Mn2+ respectively, while the low-affinity (structural) site exhibits association constants of 1.3(±2)×106, 3.2(±2)×104, 1.76(±1)×105 and 1.5(±2)×103 M−1 respectively for the same metal ions (pH 6.5, 300 mM NaCl, 25 °C). The stability of metal ion binding to the sensory site follows the Irving–Williams order, while metal ion binding to the partial sensory site present in the domain does not. Fluorescence experiments indicate that the quenching resulting from binding of Co2+ is reversed by subsequent titration with Zn2+. We conclude that the domain is a reasonable model for many properties of the full-length protein and is amenable to some analyses that the limited solubility of the full-length protein prevents.
