tailieunhanh - Báo cáo khoa học: High affinity copper binding by stefin B (cystatin B) and its role in the inhibition of amyloid fibrillation

We show that human stefin B, a protease inhibitor from the family of cystatins, is a copper binding protein, unlike stefin A. We have used isothermal titration calorimetry to directly monitor the binding event at pH 7 and pH 5. At pH 7 stefin B shows a picomolar affinity for copper but at pH 5 the affinity is in the nanomolar range. | ễFEBS Journal High affinity copper binding by stefin B cystatin B and its role in the inhibition of amyloid fibrillation 1 .1aAITv -T- -v2 - 3nfl -3 Eva Zerovnik Katja Skerget Magda Tusek-Znidaric Corina Loeschner Marcus W.

We have used isothermal titration calorimetry to directly monitor the binding event at pH 7 and pH 5. At pH 7 stefin B shows a picomolar affinity for copper but at pH 5 the affinity is in the nanomolar range. There is no difference in the affinity of copper between the wildtype stefin B E31 isoform and a variant Y31 isoform whereas the mutant P79S which is tetrameric does not bind copper. The conformation of stefin B remains unaltered by copper binding. It is known that below pH 5 stefin B undergoes a conformational change and amyloid fibril formation. We show that copper binding inhibits the amyloid fibril formation and to a lesser degree the initial aggregation. Similarities to and differences from other copper binding amy-loidogenic proteins are discussed. Received 3 May 2006 revised 16 July 2006 accepted 18 July 2006 doi Common .
