Lipocalin-type prostaglandin (PG) D synthase (L-PGDS) is a dual-func-tioning protein in the lipocalin family, acting as a PGD2-synthesizing enzyme and as an extracellular transporter for small lipophilic molecules. We earlier reported that denaturant-induced unfolding of L-PGDS follows a four-state pathway, including an activity-enhanced state and an inactive intermediate state. | ỊFEBS Journal Thermal unfolding mechanism of lipocalin-type prostaglandin D synthase Tsukimi Iida1 Shigenori Nishimura2 Maki Mochizuki2 Susumu Uchiyama3 Tadayasu Ohkubo4 Yoshihiro Urade5 Akiyoshi Tanaka6 and Takashi Inui1 2 1 Department of Food and Nutrition Tsu City College Mie Japan 2 Graduate Schoolof Life and EnvironmentalSciences Osaka Prefecture University Japan 3 Department of Biotechnology Graduate Schoolof Engineering Osaka University Japan 4 Faculty of PharmaceuticalSciences Osaka University Japan 5 Department of Molecular BehavioralBiology Osaka Bioscience Institute Japan 6 Faculty of Bioresources Mie University Japan Keywords differential scanning calorimetry intermediate lipocalin L-PGDS thermal unfolding Correspondence T.

We earlier reported that denaturant-induced unfolding of L-PGDS follows a four-state pathway including an activity-enhanced state and an inactive intermediate state. In this study we investigated the thermal unfolding mechanism of L-PGDS by using differential scanning calorimetry DSC and CD spectroscopy. DSC measurements revealed that the thermal unfolding of L-PGDS was a completely reversible process at pH . The DSC curves showed no concentration dependency demonstrating that the thermal unfolding of L-PGDS involved neither intermolecular interaction nor aggregation. On the basis of a simple two-state unfolding mechanism the ratio of van t Hoff enthalpy AHv to calorimetric .
