- W2012951128 abstract "The human gene for catechol O-methyltransferase has a common single-nucleotide polymorphism that results in substitution of methionine (M) for valine (V) 108 in the soluble form of the enzyme (s-COMT). 108M s-COMT loses enzymatic activity more rapidly than 108V s-COMT at physiological temperature, and the 108M allele has been associated with increased risk of breast cancer and several neuropsychiatric disorders. We used circular dichroism (CD), dynamic light scattering, and fluorescence spectroscopy to examine how the 108V/M polymorphism affects the stability of the purified, recombinant protein to heat and guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCl). COMT contains two tryptophan residues, W143 and W38Y, which are located in loops that border the S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and catechol binding sites. We therefore also studied the single-tryptophan mutants W38Y and W143Y in order to dissect the contributions of the individual tryptophans to the fluorescence signals. The 108V and 108M proteins differed in the stability of both the tertiary structure surrounding the active site, as probed by the fluorescence yields and emission spectra, and their global secondary structure as reflected by CD. With either probe, the midpoint of the thermal transition of 108M s-COMT was 5 to 7 degrees C lower than that of 108V s-COMT, and the free energy of unfolding at 25 degrees C was smaller by about 0.4 kcal/mol. 108M s-COMT also was more prone to aggregation or partial unfolding to a form with an increased radius of hydration at 37 degrees C. The co-substrate SAM stabilized the secondary structure of both 108V and 108M s-COMT. W143 dominates the tryptophan fluorescence of the folded protein and accounts for most of the decrease in fluorescence that accompanies unfolding by GuHCl. While replacing either tryptophan by tyrosine was mildly destabilizing, the lower stability of the 108M variant was retained in all cases." @default.
