Abstract
High pressure is known to dissociate several oligomeric proteins, and regarded as an important tool to shift the oligomerization equilibrium. Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (native PAGE) at high pressure can characterize the dissociates and clearly discriminate the aggregates. However, a band smearing of migration profiles often hinders more detailed analyses (Miwa et al., High Pressure Res. (2019) 39, 218-224). In this paper, we focused on the band smearing dependent on the migration velocity so as to extract both thermodynamic and kinetic parameters. We systematically perturbed the migration velocity by changing the gel concentration and carried out numerical analysis for a series of the migration profiles based on a simple dissociation reaction scheme with limited thermodynamic and kinetic parameters. Then, complete volumetric properties on oligomerization process can be available. We term the present analysis method as a high-pressure native PAGE velocity method. We also report the application of this method to revisit the pressure dissociation of tetrameric lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) from pig heart.

Pressure tolerance of deep-sea enzymes can be evolved through increasing volume changes in protein transitions: a study with lactate dehydrogenases from abyssal and hadal fishes. FEBS J 2020; 287:5394-5410. [PMID: 32250538 PMCID: PMC7818408 DOI: 10.1111/febs.15317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2019] [Revised: 03/15/2020] [Accepted: 03/27/2020] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
We explore the principles of pressure tolerance in enzymes of deep-sea fishes using lactate dehydrogenases (LDH) as a case study. We compared the effects of pressure on the activities of LDH from hadal snailfishes Notoliparis kermadecensis and Pseudoliparis swirei with those from a shallow-adapted Liparis florae and an abyssal grenadier Coryphaenoides armatus. We then quantified the LDH content in muscle homogenates using mass-spectrometric determination of the LDH-specific conserved peptide LNLVQR. Existing theory suggests that adaptation to high pressure requires a decrease in volume changes in enzymatic catalysis. Accordingly, evolved pressure tolerance must be accompanied with an important reduction in the volume change associated with pressure-promoted alteration of enzymatic activity ( Δ V PP ∘ ). Our results suggest an important revision to this paradigm. Here, we describe an opposite effect of pressure adaptation-a substantial increase in the absolute value of Δ V PP ∘ in deep-living species compared to shallow-water counterparts. With this change, the enzyme activities in abyssal and hadal species do not substantially decrease their activity with pressure increasing up to 1-2 kbar, well beyond full-ocean depth pressures. In contrast, the activity of the enzyme from the tidepool snailfish, L. florae, decreases nearly linearly from 1 to 2500 bar. The increased tolerance of LDH activity to pressure comes at the expense of decreased catalytic efficiency, which is compensated with increased enzyme contents in high-pressure-adapted species. The newly discovered strategy is presumably used when the enzyme mechanism involves the formation of potentially unstable excited transient states associated with substantial changes in enzyme-solvent interactions.

Abstract
Changes in the activity and structure of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and L-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were investigated after high pressure processing (HPP). HPP treatments (206-620 MPa for 6 and 12 min) were applied to ALP and LDH prepared in buffer, fat-free milk, and 2% fat milk. Enzyme activities were measured using enzymatic assays, and changes in structure were investigated using far-ultraviolet circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and dynamic light scattetering (DLS). Kinetic data indicated that the activity of ALP was not affected after 6 min of pressure treatments (206-620 MPa), regardless of the medium in which the enzyme was prepared. Increasing the processing time to 12 min did significantly reduce the activity of ALP at 620 MPa (P < 0.001). However, even the lowest HPP treatment of 206 MPa induced a reduction in LDH activity, and the course of reduction increased with HPP treatment until complete inactivation at 482, 515, and 620 MPa. CD data demonstrated a partial change in the secondary structure of ALP at 620 MPa, whereas the structure of LDH showed gradual denaturation after exposure at 206 MPa for 6 min, leading to a random coil structure at both 515 and 620 MPa. DLS results indicated aggregation of ALP only at HPP treatment of 206 MPa and not above and enzyme precipitation as well as aggregation at 345, 415, 482, and 515 MPa. The loss of LDH activity with increasing pressure and time treatment was due to the combined effects of denaturation and aggregation.

Abstract
One of the challenges for the successful commercialization of therapeutic proteins is to maintain the safety and efficacy of the protein during the manufacturing process, storage, and administration. To achieve this, the purified form of the protein drug is usually "formulated" with carefully selected excipients. The operations that occur subsequent to protein purification, such as freezing of the purified protein bulk, thawing of the bulk, formulation (excipient addition), sterile filtration, filling, freeze-drying, and inspection are commonly referred as "formulation and fill-finish operations". This review is focused on the protein formulation and fill-finish operations, critical process parameters at each operation, and the process considerations required for maintaining safety and efficacy of the drug during manufacturing and storage. Since proteins have complex molecular structures that can influence the protein stability, the reader is first introduced to salient concepts related to protein structure. This is followed by a review of the possible protein-degradation mechanisms and how a variety of external factors can contribute to protein degradation during the in vitro processing of the protein drug. The reader is then introduced to each of the formulation and fill-finish operations mentioned above, the possible degradations during each unit-operation, and process considerations necessary to avoid those degradations.

Abstract
The effect of hydrostatic pressure on the stability of tetrameric rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase was investigated by enzyme activity measurements, size-exclusion chromatography, circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopies. Under nonreducing conditions, enzyme activity was irreversibly inhibited by increasing pressure and was completely abolished at 350 MPa. Inhibition was dependent on the concentration of pyruvate kinase, indicating that it was related to pressure-induced subunit dissociation. Size-exclusion chromatography of pressurized samples confirmed a decrease in the proportion of tetramers and an increase in monomers relative to native samples. Addition of dithiothreitol immediately following pressure release led to full recovery of both enzyme activity and of native tetramers. Furthermore, no irreversible inhibition of pyruvate kinase was observed if pressure treatment was carried out in the presence of dithiothreitol. These data suggest that pressure-dissociated monomers undergo conformational changes leading to oxidation of sulfhydryl groups, which prevents correct refolding of native tetramers on decompression. These conformational changes are relatively subtle, as indicated by the lack of significant changes in far-UV circular dichroism and intrinsic fluorescence emission spectra of previously pressurized samples. The effects of various physiological ligands on the pressure stability of pyruvate kinase were also investigated. A slight protection against inhibition was observed in the simultaneous presence of K+, Mg2+ and ADP. Both phosphoenolpyruvate and the allosteric inhibitor, phenylalanine, caused marked stabilization against pressure, suggesting significant energy coupling between binding of these ligands and stabilization of the tetramer.

Abstract
Although the statistical thermodynamics of noncovalent binding has been considered in a number of theoretical papers, few methods of computing binding affinities are derived explicitly from this underlying theory. This has contributed to uncertainty and controversy in certain areas. This article therefore reviews and extends the connections of some important computational methods with the underlying statistical thermodynamics. A derivation of the standard free energy of binding forms the basis of this review. This derivation should be useful in formulating novel computational methods for predicting binding affinities. It also permits several important points to be established. For example, it is found that the double-annihilation method of computing binding energy does not yield the standard free energy of binding, but can be modified to yield this quantity. The derivation also makes it possible to define clearly the changes in translational, rotational, configurational, and solvent entropy upon binding. It is argued that molecular mass has a negligible effect upon the standard free energy of binding for biomolecular systems, and that the cratic entropy defined by Gurney is not a useful concept. In addition, the use of continuum models of the solvent in binding calculations is reviewed, and a formalism is presented for incorporating a limited number of solvent molecules explicitly.

Abstract
The effects of pressure (0.1 MPa to 400 MPa) on intrinsic fluorescence of beta-lactoglobulin and on its binding of retinol and cis-parinaric acid have been studied at neutral and acid pHs. In neutral pH, fluorescence emission spectra of beta-lactoglobulin tryptophanes are characterized by an irreversible 14 nm red-shift indicating pressure-induced folding changes. The intensity of the fluorescence of retinol in beta-lactoglobulin-retinol complex is enhanced by a pressure increase up to 150 MPa. It decreases at higher pressures and disappears altogether at 300 MPa. beta-Lactoglobulin-retinol complex does not reassociate after decompression at neutral pH. At acid pH condition, the fluorescence quenching by pressure of beta-lactoglobulin tryptophans is coupled with a 2 nm spectral shift and is fully reversible demonstrating almost complete restoration of globulin folding. The evolution of retinol fluorescence in beta-lactoglobulin-retinol complex is also entirely reversible between 0.1 MPa and 400 MPa and the complex never dissociates in the studied pressure range. beta-lactoglobulin-cis-parinaric acid complexes at neutral and acid pH values dissociate irreversibly at 200 MPa and 350 MPa, respectively.

Abstract
Oceans not only cover the major part of the earth's surface but also reach into depths exceeding the height of the Mt Everest. They are populated down to the deepest levels (approximately 11,800 m), which means that a significant proportion of the global biosphere is exposed to pressures of up to 120 MPa. Although this fact has been known for more than a century, the ecology of the 'abyss' is still in its infancy. Only recently, barophilic adaptation, i.e. the requirement of elevated pressure for viability, has been firmly established. In non-adapted organisms, increased pressure leads to morphological anomalies or growth inhibition, and ultimately to cell death. The detailed molecular mechanism of the underlying 'metabolic dislocation' is unresolved. Effects of pressure as a variable in microbiology, biochemistry and biotechnology allow the structure/function relationship of proteins conjugates to be analyzed. In this context, stabilization by cofactors or accessory proteins has been observed. High-pressure equipment available today allows the comprehensive characterization of the behaviour of proteins under pressure. Single-chain proteins undergo pressure-induced denaturation in the 100-MPa range, which, in the case of oligomeric proteins or protein assemblies, is preceded by dissociation at lower pressure. The effects may be ascribed to the positive reaction volumes connected with the formation of hydrophobic and ionic interactions. In addition, the possibility of conformational effects exerted by moderate, non-denaturing pressures, and related to the intrinsic compressibility of proteins, is discussed. Crystallization may serve as a model reaction of protein self-organization. Kinetic aspects of its pressure-induced inhibition can be described by a model based on the Oosawa theory of molecular association. Barosensitivity is known to be correlated with the pressure-induced inhibition of protein biosynthesis. Attempts to track down the ultimate cause in the dissociation of ribosomes have revealed remarkable stabilization of functional complexes under pseudo-physiological conditions, with the post-translational complex as the most pressure-sensitive species. Apart from the key issue of barosensitivity and barophilic adaptation, high-pressure biochemistry may provide means to develop new approaches to nonthermic industrial processes, especially in the field of food technology.

Abstract
A high pressure reactor for steady state studies of enzymes is described. It allows injection, stirring, and sampling without release of the pressure (up to at least 400 MPa). Thus, either substrate or enzyme can be injected to initiate an enzyme-catalyzed reaction whose progress can then be followed by measurements on samples taken from the reactor. The dead time of sampling is 10-15 s, which allows reactions with pseudo-first-order rate constants smaller than about 1 min-1 to be monitored. It can be used for any enzymatic reaction; unlike previously described high pressure apparatus, it is not limited to the study of enzymes whose activity can be directly followed by spectrophotometry. The use and reliability of this reactor is demonstrated by tests with aspartate transcarbamylase. The activity of this enzyme is enhanced by pressures of the order of 120 MPa.

Abstract
Elevated hydrostatic pressure has been shown to affect the growth rate of the thermophilic methanobacterium
Methanococcus thermolithotrophicus
without extending its temperature range of viability. Analysis of the cell inventory after ≈ 10 h of incubation at 65°C and 50 MPa (applying high-pressure liquid chromatography and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis) proved that pressure induces alterations in the protein pattern and the amino acid composition of the total cell hydrolysate. Gels showed that after pressurization a series of (basic) proteins with a molecular mass in the range of 38 and 70 kilodaltons occurs which is not detectable in cells grown at normal atmospheric pressure. The question of whether the observed alterations are caused by the perturbation of the balance of protein synthesis and turnover or by the pressure-induced synthesis of compounds analogous to heat shock proteins remains unanswered.

Abstract
The effects of exposure to pressure on both the activity and the quaternary structure of rabbit brain enolases, forms alpha alpha, alpha gamma, and gamma gamma were studied in the pressure range of 1 to 3400 bar. Effects on quaternary structure were determined by subunit scrambling (the formation of alpha alpha and gamma gamma from alpha gamma or vice versa). All three dimers are stable up to pressures of 1200 bar. The dissociation of gamma gamma begins at 1200 bar, yielding a stable monomer; inactivation of gamma gamma does not begin until the pressure is greater than 2000 bar. Dissociation of gamma gamma is not accompanied by changes in the tryptophan fluorescence of the protein. However, the fluorescence does decrease when the pressure is greater than 2000 bar, the point at which inactivation of gamma gamma starts. The alpha monomer, on the other hand, is unstable in the pressure range that produces dissociation of alpha alpha. This process, which also begins at 1200 bar, is paralleled by inactivation. Crosslinking the enzyme with glutaraldehyde demonstrated that the inactive form of the enzyme is monomeric. The pressure-induced inactivation of these forms of enolase is thus clearly a two-step process, with both dissociation and inactivation occurring. The difference in pressure sensitivity of rabbit brain alpha alpha and gamma gamma is due to a difference in stability of the alpha and gamma monomers and not due to a difference in the pressures required for dissociation.

Abstract
Kinetics of pressure-induced denaturation of bovine liver glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.3) were investigated in the pressure range 1.8-2.8 kbar by observing the residual activity after the pressure-release and the scattered light intensity during the incubation at high pressure. The residual activity decreased exponentially with the incubation time, whereas the scattered light intensity showed a bimodal profile indicating parallel aggregation and dissociation reactions. The latter suggested that two kinds of aggregates were formed during the incubation under pressure. The observed first-order rate constant for the inactivation, k obs, showed a minimum around 30 degrees C. These experimental results were interpreted in terms of the following reaction scheme; (formula; see text) where N represents the enzyme entity with native structure, D1 the partially denatured intermediate, D2 the irreversibly denatured state, and A1 and A2 the two kinds of aggregates, one of which (A1) is reversibly formed at an early stage of the incubation under high pressure. The apparent activation volume for the inactivation reaction was estimated to be delta V*app = -113 +/- 5 cm3 X mol-1 from the pressure dependence of k obs. The effect of coenzyme, NAD+, on the pressure-induced inactivation was also studied. The inactivation was retarded by the presence of the coenzyme, whereas the apparent activation volume for the holoenzyme (delta V*app = -104 +/- 2 cm3 X mol-1) did not differ significantly from that for the apoenzyme.

Abstract
Tetrameric lactate dehydrogenase from Bacillus stearothermophilus exhibits unusual stability towards high hydrostatic pressure: In contrast to the mesophilic enzyme, incubation at pressures up to 2.8 kbar does not cause irreversible denaturation. Hybridization under these conditions suggests partial dissociation to the dimer, indicating that reassociation occurs within the dead-time after pressure release (less than 20 s at less than or equal to 40 micrograms/ml, 20 degrees C). Incubation at P less than 2.8 kbar affects neither the native quaternary structure nor the catalytic function of the enzyme. Reconstitution of the unfolded and dissociated subunits after denaturation, e.g., in 6 M guanidine . HC1, is characterized by fast association favouring the native assembled structure. Evidence from spectroscopic measurements shows that reconstitution starts with a fast refolding reaction generating a native-like conformation. The subsequent rate-determining transconformation of the "structured monomers" governs the kinetics of reactivation and reassociation as one single first-order process. Chemical crosslinking with glutaraldehyde proves that the "structured monomers" undergo fast association to form the tetrameric final state of reconstitution, with significant amounts of dimeric intermediates being detectable. The renatured enzyme is indistinguishable from the native enzyme regarding its physicochemical and enzymological properties (e.g., activation by fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, and susceptibility towards proteolytic digestion).

Abstract
Lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) from pig heart and pig skeletal muscle can be reversibly dissociated into monomers at high hydrostatic pressure. The reaction can be quantitatively fitted by a reversible consecutive dissociation-unfolding mechanism according to N in equilibrium 4M in equilibrium 4M (where N is the native tetramer, and M and M two different conformations of the monomer) (K. Müller, et al., Biophys. Chem. 14 (1981) 101.). At p less than or equal to 1 kbar, the pressure deactivation of both isoenzymes (H4 and M4) is described by the two-state equilibrium N in equilibrium 4M. From the respective equilibrium constant and the temperature and pressure dependence of the change in free energy, the thermodynamic parameters of the dissociation/deactivation may be determined, e.g., for LDH-M4: delta GDiss = 110 kJ/mol, delta SDiss =-860 J/K per mol, delta HDiss= -124 kJ/mol (enzyme concentration 10 microgram/ml, in Tris-HCl buffer, pH 7.6, I = 0.16 M, 293 K, 0.8 kbar); the dissociation volume is found to be delta VDiss =-420 ml/mol (0.7 less than p less than 0.9 kbar). Measurements using 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANS) as extrinsic fluorophore demonstrate that the occurrence of hydrophobic surface area upon dissociation parallels the decrease in reactivation yield after pressurization beyond 1 kbar. Within the range of reversible deactivation (p less than 1 kbar) no increase in ANS fluorescence is detectable, thus indicating compensatory effects in the process of subunit dissociation. 2H2O is found to stabilize the enzyme towards pressure dissociation, in accordance with the involvement of hydrophobic interactions in the subunit contact of both isoenzymes of LDH.
