The refolding of type II shikimate kinase fromErwinia chrysanthemiafter denaturation in urea

Abstract: Shikimate kinase was chosen as a convenient representative example of the subclass of a/b proteins with which to examine the mechanism of protein folding. In this paper we report on the refolding of the enzyme after denaturation in urea. As shown by the changes in secondary and tertiary structure monitored by far UV circular dichroism (CD) and fluorescence, respectively, the enzyme was fully unfolded in 4 M urea. From an analysis of the unfolding curve in terms of the two-state model, the stability of the fold… Show more

“…Chemically-induced unfolding studies usually employ chaotropic agents, such as urea or guanidinium HCl, or hydrophobic additives, such as the detergent sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), to interrupt hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions in the interior of proteins. The usefulness of SRCD in folding studies was exemplified in a study of the alpha/beta protein shikimate kinase (Cerasoli et al 2002). This study used a combination of stopped flow studies on a cCD instrument (at the time there were no working SRCD stopped flow setups, see Section 6.1.3) to follow the refolding process, but also used SRCD scans to examine the whole spectrum of the protein in its unfolded state.…”

“…While this assay has been widely used for the determination of kinetic parameters of ATP-dependent kinases including SK from different species, it presents major drawbacks and limitations. First, by monitoring the disappearance of NADH, this assay measures a decrease in signal rather than an increase, resulting in restrictions on the dynamic range of the assay if large amounts of NADH are used.…”
