摘要/Abstract

摘要： 目的揭示人γD晶状体蛋白(HGD)与先天性白内障相关突变体蛋白(HGD P23T)的热诱导变性效应,对比野生型与突变体蛋白质在加热过程中结构变化的差异性。方法体外表达纯化HGD与HGD P23T,测定蛋白质内源性荧光强度和静态光散射光强随温度的变化,揭示HGD与HGD P23T依赖于温度的折叠与聚集结构变化规律。结果温度低于70 ℃时,HGD与HGD P23T的内源荧光质心波长随温度升高向长波长移动,荧光强度降低,蛋白质构象去折叠。HGD P23T比HGD的构象稳定性差。温度高于70 ℃时,静态光散射强度随温度显著上升,蛋白质受热聚集。相对于野生型,HGD P23T表现出更强的聚集趋势。结论加热破坏γD晶状体蛋白的折叠构象,诱导去折叠态蛋白质发生聚集。疾病相关P23T突变显著降低了γD晶状体蛋白的构象稳定性。

Abstract: Objective To reveal the thermally induced denaturation of wild-type human γD-crystallin(HGD) and congenital cataract-related mutant (HGD P23T), and compare the differences in the structural changes between wild-type and mutants during a heating process. Methods HGD and HGD P23T were expressed and purified. The temperature-dependent intrinsic fluorescence intensity and static light scattering intensity of the protein samples were measured to reveal the temperature-dependent folding and aggregation structural changes of HGD and HGD P23T. Results When the temperature was below 70 ℃, the barycentric mean of the intrinsic fluorescence of HGD and HGD P23T shifted towards a longer wavelength with increasing temperature and the fluorescence intensity decreased indicating the unfolded protein conformations. The conformational stability of HGD P23T was weaker than that of HGD. When temperature was higher than 70 ℃, the static light scattering intensity increased significantly with temperature, indicating protein aggregation upon heating. Relative to the wild-type,HGD P23T showed a stronger aggregation potency. Conclusions Heating disrupts the folding conformation of γD-crystallin, induces the unfolded protein to aggregate. The disease-associated P23T mutation significantly reduces the conformational stability of γD-crystallin.
