Restricted proteolysis of legumin of broad beans: Effect on thermodynamic properties of aqueous solutions and interaction with ficoll

Abstract: SummaryThermodynamic properties of aqueous solutions of both native and modified legumin of broad beans (Viciufuba L.) have been examined. A restricted trypsin-induced proteolysis was used to modify protein structure. Evaluation of protein affinity to ficoll in aqueous solutions showed that modified protein possessed higher hydrophilicity. Thermodynamic properties of diluted solutions were used to predict the phase behaviour in concentrated systems containing protein and ficoll. At specific concentrations of n… Show more

“…Limited tryptic hydrolysis of 11 S globulins results in the splitting of the surface-exposed regions of a-chains, while the b-chains located in the inner part of the protein molecules remains intact [60][61][62]. The loss of hydrophilic peptides leads to the reduction of the molecular mass from 350-360 kDa to 230 kDa in soybean glycinin [63], 240-250 kDa in faba bean legumin [64,65] and 260-270 kDa in pea legumin [66].…”

“…1 confirms our finding that the tryptic modified legumin is more hydrophobic than the parent protein [l 1, 281. However, the finding of another group [9] that tryptically nicked legumin had an increased hydrophilicity, which was concluded from its higher affinity to ficoll in aqueous solution, demands more profound reflections about the term "hydrophobicity".…”

“…This was shown by limited trypsin proteolysis of the 11S broad bean globulin in concentrated biphasic mixtures with Ficoll. After a short (10‐min) incubation the biphasic mixed solution is converted into a single‐phase state due to a modification of the protein, where the molecule loses the least ordered segment, preserves conformational stability and becomes more compact and hydrophilic [10, 17]. This could contribute to activation of protoenzymes by cleavage, like that of inactive forms of many enzymes, e.g.…”
