摘要
利用Tb^(3+)作为荧光探针研究天花粉蛋白(TCS)的结构。Tb^(3+)可置换天花粉蛋白中的Ca^(2+),发生从TCS分子中的Trp残基到Tb^(3+)的能量传递,使Trp的荧光发射强度减弱。利用光谱技术研究发现,Tb^(3+)与TCS亲和力小于Ca(2+)与TCS的亲和力;Tb^(3+)与其结合后基本不改变TCS的构象,但Trp和Tyr残基处的微环境发生变比;Ca^(2+)对TCS构象有显著影响。
Tb3+ has been used as a fluorescent probe to study the structure of trichosanthin(TCS).The nonradioactive energy transfer from fluorescent active tryptophan(Trp)residue to the bound Tb3+ ions take place and the fluorescence of Trp is decreased when Tb3+ ions are bound to TCS to replace the Ca2+ in it.According to the results of Trp fluorescence and the information given from CD and UV absorption spectra,we have found that the affinity of Tb3+ to TCS is lower than that of Ca2+ ions to TCS. Significant change of TCS structure was not observed with the Tb3+ ions binding,The microenvironment surrounded Trp and Tyr may be changed slightly with the Tb3+ binding.The conformation of Ca2+ -free TCS was significantly changed compared with that of native TCS with the Trp residue moving into the interior of TCS molecules。 The Ca2+-binding site in TCS can be maintained partly when the Ca2+ is removed from TCS molecules.
