tailieunhanh - Báo cáo khoa học: Evidence for b-lactoglobulin involvement in vitamin D transport in vivo – role of the c-turn (Leu-Pro-Met) of b-lactoglobulin in vitamin D binding

b-lactoglobulin (LG) is a major bovine milk protein, containing a central calyx and a second exosite beyond the calyx to bind vitamin D; however, the biological function of LG in transporting vitamin D remains elusive. Crystallographic findings from our previous study showed the exosite to be located at the pocket between the a-helix and b-strand I. | ỊFEBS Journal Evidence for b-lactoglobulin involvement in vitamin D transport in vivo - role of the c-turn Leu-Pro-Met of b-lactoglobulin in vitamin D binding Ming Chi Yang1 Nai Chi Chen1 Chun-Jung Chen2 3 Chin Yun Wu1 and Simon J.

Crystallographic findings from our previous study showed the exosite to be located at the pocket between the a-helix and b-strand I. In the present study using site-directed mutagenesis we demonstrate that residues Leu143 Pro144 and Met145 in the y-turn loop play a crucial role in the binding. Further evidence is provided by the ability of vitamin D3 to block the binding of a specific mAb in the y-turn loop. Using the mouse n 95 as an animal model we initially demonstrated that LG is a major fraction of milk proteins responsible for uptake of vitamin D. Most interestingly dosing mice with LG supplemented with vitamin D3 revealed that native LG containing two binding sites gave a saturated concentration of .
