- W2030251911 abstract "Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A(ETA) and its C-terminal, enzymatically active fragment (PE40, 375 residues) were studied by high-performance size-exclusion chromatography, steady-state and stopped-flow fluorescence spectroscopy, and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Both proteins have been overexpressed and purified by high-performance liquid chromatography. The effect of various activation conditions (pH, urea, and DTT) on enzymatic activity was studied. Upon enzymatic activation, structural changes induced within both proteins' structures were monitored, and these changes were correlated with concomitant alterations in the catalytic activity of the proteins. The pH optimum of enzymatic activity for both ETA and PE40 was between 7.0 and 8.0, decreasing to nearly zero at acidic (pH 5.0) and basic (pH 11-12) values. Analysis of the pH titration data revealed the presence of two distinct pKa values which implicate a His residue(s) (likely His-440 and -426) and a Tyr or Lys residue (possibly Tyr-481). The identity and possible role of an active site Lys residue is not known. Additionally, a significant increase in the Stokes radii of both proteins was detected when the pH was lowered from 8.0 to 6.0. The enzymatic activity of PE40 was not affected by urea or DTT, and its Stokes radius decreased monotonically with increasing urea concentration in the presence of DTT. In contrast, the enzymatic activity of ETA peaked when the protein was preincubated with 4.0 M urea, and this coincided with a large transition (increase) in the protein's Stokes radius between 3 and 5 M urea. Furthermore, loss of helical secondary structure of both PE40 and ETA commenced at approximately 2 M urea and progressively diminished at higher denaturant concentrations. The unfolding of both proteins in urea (and DTT) was reversible, and the free energies of unfolding were determined by both circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy and were found to be 13.7 +/- 2.9 and 9.8 +/- 3.4 kJ/mol, respectively, for ETA and were 17.8 +/- 6.8 and 7.5 +/- 3.6 kJ/mol, respectively, for PE40. The refolding rate of PE40 was relatively rapid [t 1/2(1) = 27 s, t 1/2(2) = 624 s], which was in stark contrast to the refolding rate of ETA (t 1/2 = several hours). The relative refolding rates of PE40 and ETA help to explain the mechanism of in vitro enzyme activation and assay." @default.
