The relationship between the structure of the N-terminal sequence of trans-thyretin (TTR) and the binding of thyroid hormone was studied. A recom-binant human TTR and two derivatives of Crocodylus porosusTTRs, one with the N-terminal sequence replaced by that of human TTR (human⁄crocTTR), the other with the N-terminal segment removed (trun-cated crocTTR), were synthesized inPichia pastoris. | ỊFEBS Journal Change in structure of the N-terminal region of transthyretin produces change in affinity of transthyretin to T4 and T3 Porntip Prapunpoj1 Ladda Leelawatwatana1 Gerhard Schreiber2 and Samantha J.

A recombinant human TTR and two derivatives of Crocodylus porosus TTRs one with the N-terminal sequence replaced by that of human TTR human crocTTR the other with the N-terminal segment removed truncated crocTTR were synthesized in Pichia pastoris. Subunit mass native molecular weight tetramer formation cross-reactivity to TTR antibodies and binding to retinol-binding protein of these recombinant TTRs were similar to TTRs found in nature. Analysis of the binding affinity to thyroid hormones of recombinant human TTR showed a dissociation constant Kd for triiodothyronine T3 of nM and for thyroxine T4 of nM. These values are similar to those found for TTR purified from human serum and gave a Kd T3 T4 ratio of . The affinity for T4 of human crocTTR Kd nM was higher than those of both human TTR and C. .
