The role of disulfide bonds on the activity, stability and folding of bovine-angiogenin Eun-Hye Ko Dept. of Bioinformatics & Life Science, and Protein engineering & Design Lab. Soongsil University
Angiogenin (ANG) • A member of ribonuclease A superfamily (with RNase A activity and sequence homology to RNase A) • Has minuscule RNase activity (10-4 ~ 10-6), but critical to the biological function • Inducer of angiogenesis, a process of new blood vessel formation (neovacularization)
Angiogenin (ANG) • Angiogenesis is involved in normal physiological processes as well as pathological conditions • Understanding of angiogenin will contribute to 1. the folding patterns of RNase A superfamily (RNase A, Onconase, Angiogenin) 2. the development of therapeutics for the treatment of pathological neovascularization
ANG has 125 amino acid residues with three disulfide bonds(Cys27-Cys82, Cys40-Cys93 and Cys58-Cys108) • What is the role of disulfide bonds on the structure, activity and stability of ANG?
Role of disulfide bonds on the structure, stability & function
des mutants of b-ANG • [C27S, C82S],[C40S, C93S],and [C58S, C108S], respectively, were produced in E. coli • Denaturation & Refolding • Purification : Cation-exchange chromatography • Biophysical analysis : Circular dichroism, Stopped-flow • Biological (Angiogenesis) assays : CAM assay, Wound healing migration
