Bovine trypsinogen unfolding is complex, involving a molten globule intermediate. This study used biophysical methods to characterize this intermediate, revealing insights into protein conformation and energetics.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Protein Chemistry
  • Biophysical Chemistry

Background:

  • Bovine trypsinogen is a key enzyme precursor.
  • Understanding protein unfolding mechanisms is crucial for protein stability and function.
  • Previous studies on trypsinogen unfolding were limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the equilibrium unfolding of bovine trypsinogen.
  • To characterize the intermediate states involved in unfolding.
  • To elucidate the relationship between protein conformation and energetics.

Main Methods:

  • Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy
  • Differential spectra analysis
  • Size exclusion high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)

  • Intrinsic fluorescence spectroscopy
  • 8-aniline-1-naphthalene sulfonate (ANS) binding assays

    • Main Results:

    • Equilibrium unfolding transitions fitted a three-state model, indicating an intermediate.
    • Size exclusion HPLC detected an intermediate population with varying Stokes radii during guanidine hydrochloride and urea denaturation.
    • Maximal intrinsic fluorescence and ANS binding occurred at specific denaturant concentrations, suggesting conformational changes.

    Conclusions:

    • Bovine trypsinogen unfolding is not a simple two-state transition.
    • An equilibrium intermediate, potentially a molten globule, exists during unfolding.
    • Further studies on intermediates will enhance understanding of protein conformation-energetics interplay.
