The unfolding and refolding of cytoplasmic aspartate aminotransferase from pig heart.

S M West1, N C Price.   

Abstract

The unfolding of cytoplasmic aspartate aminotransferase from pig heart in solutions of guanidinium chloride (GdnHCl) was studied. Data from protein fluorescence, c.d. and thiol-group reactivity indicated that the enzyme was unfolded in 6 M-GdnHCl. Spectroscopic studies showed that this unfolding was accompanied by dissociation of the pyridoxal 5'-phosphate cofactor. On dilution of the GdnHCl, re-activation of the enzyme occurred in reasonable yield, provided that dithiothreitol and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate were present. The regain of activity obeyed second-order kinetics. In the absence of added dithiothreitol and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, substantial formation of high-Mr aggregates occurred.
