The activation domain of human procarboxypeptidase A2, ADA2h, is an 81-residue globular domain released during the proteolytic activation of the proenzyme. The role of this and other similar domains as assistants of the correct folding of the enzyme

In the post-genomic era, several projects focused on the massive experimental resolution of the three-dimensional structures of all the proteins of different organisms have been initiated. Simultaneously, significant progress has been made in the ab

The unfolding and denaturation curves of leech carboxypeptidase inhibitor (LCI) were elucidated using the technique of disulfide scrambling. In the presence of thiol initiator and denaturant, the native LCI denatures by shuffling its native disulfide

Thermodynamic characterization of the activation domain of human procarboxypeptidase A2, ADA2h, and its helix-engineered mutants was carried out by differential scanning calorimetry. The mutants were engineered by changing residues in the exposed fac

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has been used to monitor hydrogen exchange on entire proteins. Two alternative methods have been used to carry out the hydrogen exchange studies, exchanging d

The proteolytic processing of pancreatic procarboxypeptidase B to a mature and functional enzyme is much faster than that of procarboxypeptidase A1. This different behavior has been proposed to depend on specific conformational features at the region

The molecular events which lead to the proteolytic transformation of porcine procarboxypeptidase B (PCPB) in carboxypeptidase B (CPB) have been determined. Among pancreatic and other tested proteinases, trypsin is the only one capable of generating c

The expression of the linkedtoxA andtoxB genes coding for the A and B subunits of the heat-labile enterotoxin ofEscherichia coli, respectively, has been studied. For this reason,toxA-lacZ andtoxB-lacZ fusions were constructed through a promoter-probe

Understanding the initial steps of protein aggregation leading to the formation of amyloid fibrils remains a challenge. Here, the kinetics of such a process is determined for a misfolding protein model, ADA2h. The double nature of the very early kine
