- W86754994 abstract "ABSTRACT. Human alpha (leukocyte) interferon subtype A (HuIFN-αA) purified from extracts of transformed E. coli has the amino acid composition and sequence expected from the cDNA sequence. The molecule's disulfide bonds (Cys-1 to Cys-98 and Cys-29 to Cys-138) have been elucidated by HPLC/tryptic mapping. Spectroscopic analysis shows the molecule to have features typical of a globular protein with a densely packed, hydrophobic core. Secondary structure predictions of a high (60-70 percent) α-helix content are supported by CD and Raman spectroscopy estimates. About half of this helical content is reversibly destroyed on titration to pH 1.5. The structure predictions can be refined by other calculations and by experimental data. Ultracentrifugation and gel permeation studies show that IFN-αA undergoes a concentration- and pH-dependent reversible aggregation. Fragments of IFN-αA generated by trypsin or cyanogen bromide cleavage of the native molecule have no antiviral or receptor binding activity. Breaking of the disulfides of IFN-αA by oxidative sulfitolysis generates a labile conformational form which is immunochemically related to native IFN-αA and can regain antiviral activity by reformation of the Cys-29 to Cys-138 disulfide. Modification of the two tryptophans of IFN-αA with 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl bromide greatly reduces its antiviral, antigenic and receptor-binding activity. Enzymatic removal of the C-terminal 13 amino acids of IFN-αA has no effect on these activities. The biological activity of alpha interferon does not require the entire molecule, but is highly dependent on the tertiary structure provided by correct folding of the bulk of the molecule. The region around the critical Cys-29 to Cys-138 bond may be of special importance." @default.
