Abstract
The sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) is a membrane protein that is destabilized during purification in the absence of calcium ions. The disaccharide trehalose is a protein stabilizer that accumulates in the yeast cytoplasm when under stress. In the present work, SERCA was purified by including trehalose in the purification protocol. The purified SERCA showed high protein purity (~95%) and ATPase activity. ATP hydrolysis was dependent on the presence of Ca2+ and the enzyme kinetics showed a hyperbolic dependence on ATP (Km = 12.16 ± 2.25 μM ATP). FITC labeling showed the integrity of the ATP-binding site and the identity of the isolated enzyme as a P-type ATPase. Circular dichroism (CD) spectral changes at a wavelength of 225 nm were observed upon titration with ATP, indicating α-helical rearrangements in the nucleotide-binding domain (N-domain), which correlated with ATP affinity (Km). The presence of Ca2+ did not affect FITC labeling or the ATP-mediated structural changes at the N-domain. The use of trehalose in the SERCA purification protocol stabilized the enzyme. The isolated SERCA appears to be suitable for structural and ligand binding studies, e.g., for testing newly designed or natural inhibitors. The use of trehalose is recommended for the isolation of unstable enzymes.

Abstract
The sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) is a P-type ATPase that has been crystallized in various conformations. Detailed functional information may nonetheless be obtained from isolated recombinant domains. The engineered (Trp552Leu and Tyr587Trp) recombinant nucleotide-binding domain (N-domain) displays fluorescence quenching upon ligand binding. An extrinsic fluorophore, namely, 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonate (ANS), binds to the nucleotide-binding site via electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions with Arg, His, Ala, Leu, and Phe residues. ANS binding is evidenced by the increase in fluorescence intensity when excited at a wavelength (λ) of 370 nm. However, when excited at λ of 295 nm, the increase in fluorescence intensity seems to be coupled to the quenching of the N-domain intrinsic fluorescence. Fluorescence spectra display a Föster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-like pattern, thereby suggesting the presence of a Trp-ANS FRET pair, which appears to be supported by the short distance (~20 Å) between Tyr587Trp and ANS. This study describes an analysis of the Trp-ANS FRET pair by Trp chemical modification (and fluorescence quenching) that is mediated by N-bromosuccinimide (NBS). In the chemically modified N-domain, ANS fluorescence increased when excited at a λ of 295 nm, similar to when excited at a λ of 370 nm. Hence, the NBS-mediated chemical modification of the Trp residue can be used to probe the absence of FRET between Trp and ANS. In the absence of Trp fluorescence, one should not observe an increase in ANS fluorescence. The chemical modification of Trp residues in proteins by NBS may be useful for examining FRET between Trp residues that are close to the bound ANS. This assay will likely also be useful when using other fluorophores.

Abstract
Nowadays, regenerative medicine has paid special attention to research (in vitro and in vivo) related to bone regeneration, specifically in the treatment of bone fractures or skeletal defects, which is rising worldwide and is continually demanding new developments in the use of stem cells, growth factors, membranes and scaffolds based on novel nanomaterials, and their applications in patients by using advanced tools from molecular biology and tissue engineering. Strontium (Sr) is an element that has been investigated in recent years for its participation in the process of remodeling and bone formation. Based on these antecedents, this is a review about the Strontium Folate (SrFO), a recently developed non-protein based bone-promoting agent with interest in medical and pharmaceutical fields due to its improved features in comparison to current therapies for bone diseases.

Abstract
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) catalyzes the reduction of pyruvate to lactate by using NADH. LDH kinetics has been proposed to be dependent on the dynamics of a loop over the active site. Kramers' theory has been useful in the study of enzyme catalysis dependent on large structural dynamics. In this work, LDH kinetics was studied in the presence of trehalose and at different temperatures. In the absence of trehalose, temperature increase raised exponentially the LDH Vmax and revealed a sigmoid transition of Km toward a low-affinity state similar to protein unfolding. Notably, LDH Vmax diminished when in the presence of trehalose, while pyruvate affinity increased and the temperature-mediated binding site transition was hindered. The effect of trehalose on kcat was viscosity dependent as described by Kramers' theory since Vmax correlated inversely with the viscosity of the medium. As a result, activation energy ( Ea) for pyruvate reduction was dramatically increased by trehalose presence. This work provides experimental evidence that the dynamics of a structural component in LDH is essential for catalysis, i.e., the closing of the loop on the active site. While the trehalose mediated-increased of pyruvate affinity is proposed to be due to the compaction and/or increase of structural order at the binding site.

Abstract
A recombinant Ca2+-ATPase nucleotide binding domain (N-domain) harboring the mutations Trp552Leu and Tyr587Trp was expressed and purified. Chemical modification by N-bromosuccinimide and fluorescence quenching by acrylamide showed that the displaced Trp residue was located at the N-domain surface and slightly exposed to solvent. Guanidine hydrochloride-mediated N-domain unfolding showed the low structural stability of the α6-loop-α7 motif (the new Trp location) located near the nucleotide binding site. The binding of nucleotides (free and in complex with Mg2+) to the engineered N-domain led to significant intrinsic fluorescence quenching (ΔFmax ∼ 30%) displaying a saturable hyperbolic pattern; the calculated affinities decreased in the following order: ATP > ADP = ADP-Mg2+ > ATP-Mg2+. Interestingly, it was found that Ca2+ binds to the N-domain as monitored by intrinsic fluorescence quenching (ΔFmax ∼ 12%) with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 50 μM. Notably, the presence of Ca2+ (200 μM) increased the ATP and ADP affinity but favored the binding of ATP over that of ADP. In addition, binding of ATP to the N-domain generated slight changes in secondary structure as evidenced by circular dichroism spectral changes. Molecular docking of ATP to the N-domain provided different binding modes that potentially might be the binding stages prior to γ-phosphate transfer. Finally, the nucleotide binding site was studied by fluorescein isothiocyanate labeling and molecular docking. The N-domain of Ca2+-ATPase performs structural dynamics upon Ca2+ and nucleotide binding. It is proposed that the increased affinity of the N-domain for ATP mediated by Ca2+ binding may be involved in Ca2+-ATPase activation under normal physiological conditions.

Abstract
A novel Cu/ZnSOD from Amaranthus hypochondriacus was cloned, expressed, and characterized. Nucleotide sequence analysis showed an open reading frame (ORF) of 456 bp, which was predicted to encode a 15.6-kDa molecular weight protein with a pI of 5.4. Structural analysis showed highly conserved amino acid residues involved in Cu/Zn binding. Recombinant amaranth superoxide dismutase (rAhSOD) displayed more than 50 % of catalytic activity after incubation at 100 °C for 30 min. In silico analysis of Amaranthus hypochondriacus SOD (AhSOD) amino acid sequence for globularity and disorder suggested that this protein is mainly disordered; this was confirmed by circular dichroism, which showed the lack of secondary structure. Intrinsic fluorescence studies showed that rAhSOD undergoes conformational changes in two steps by the presence of Cu/Zn, which indicates the presence of two binding sites displaying different affinities for metals ions. Our results show that AhSOD could be classified as an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) that is folded when metals are bound and with high thermal stability.

Abstract
Electrostatic interactions, mediated by ionic-exchange, between polyethylenimine (PEI) and glucose oxidase (GOx) were used to form GOx-PEI macro-complex, which were evaluated for pH and thermal stability of GOx. Under the experimental conditions, the complex had a dominant GOx presence on its surface and a hydrodynamic diameter of 205 ± 16 nm. Activity was evaluated from 40 to 75 °C, and at pH from 2 to 12. GOx activity in complex was maintained up to 70 °C and it was lost at 75 °C. In contrast, free GOx showed a maximum activity at 50 °C, which was completely lost at 70 °C. This difference, observed by fluorescence analysis, was associated with the compact unfolded structure of GOx in the complex. This GOx stability was not observed under pH variations, and complex formation was only possible at pH ≥ 5 where enzymatic activity was diminished by the presence of PEI.

Abstract
The plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase from Kluyveromyces lactis contains 14 tryptophan residues. Binding a nucleotide or unfolding with Gnd-HCl quenched intrinsic fluorescence by ≈60% suggesting that in the H(+)-ATPase-Nucleotide complex there is solvent-mediated collisional quenching of W505 fluorescence. N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) treatment of H(+)-ATPase modified a single W residue in both native and Gnd-HCl-unfolded H(+)-ATPase. Denaturing the H(+)-ATPase with 1% SDS led to expose six tryptophan residues while requiring 17 NBS/H(+)-ATPase. The remaining eight tryptophan residues kept buried indicating a highly stable TM domain. Acrylamide generated static quenching of fluorescence; partial in the native enzyme (V = 0.43 M(-1)) and complete in the Gnd-HCl-unfolded H(+)-ATPase (V = 0.81 M(-1)). Collisional quenching (K sv) increased from 3.12 to 7.45 M(-1) upon H(+)-ATPase unfolding. W505 fluorescence titration with NBS yielded a molar ratio of 6 NBS/H(+)-ATPase and quenched ≈ 60% fluorescence. In the recombinant N-domain, the distance between W505 and MantATP was estimated to be 21 Å by FRET. The amino acid residues involved in nucleotide binding were identified by N-domain molecular modelling and docking with ATP. In the N-domain/ATP complex model, the distance between W505 and ATP was 20.5 Å. ATP binding leads to a conformational change in the N-domain of H(+)-ATPase that exposes W505 to the environment.

Abstract
Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is an enzyme widely distributed in the plant kingdom that has been detected in most fruits and vegetables. PPO was extracted and purified from Manila mango (Mangifera indica), and its biochemical properties were studied. PPO was purified 216-fold by hydrophobic interaction and ion exchange chromatography. PPO was purified to homogeneity, and the estimated PPO molecular weight (MW) by SDS-PAGE was ≈31.5 kDa. However, a MW of 65 kDa was determined by gel filtration, indicating a dimeric structure for the native PPO. The isolated PPO showed the highest affinity to pyrogallol (Km = 2.77 mM) followed by 4-methylcatechol (Km = 3.14 mM) and catechol (Km = 15.14 mM). The optimum pH for activity was 6.0. PPO was stable in the temperature range of 20-70 °C. PPO activity was completely inhibited by tropolone, ascorbic acid, sodium metabisulfite, and kojic acid at 0.1 mM.

Abstract
While a long shelf life for fruit products is highly desired, enzymatic browning is the main cause of quality loss in fruits and is therefore a main problem for the food industry. In this study polyphenol oxidase (PPO), the main enzyme responsible for browning was isolated from mamey fruit (Pouteria sapota) and characterized biochemically. Two isoenzymes (PPO 1 and PPO 2) were obtained upon ammonium sulfate precipitation and hydrophobic and ion exchange chromatography; PPO 1 was purified up to 6.6-fold with 0.28% yield, while PPO 2 could not be characterized as enzyme activity was completely lost after 24 h of storage. PPO 1 molecular weight was estimated to be 16.1 and 18 kDa by gel filtration and SDS-PAGE, respectively, indicating that the native state of the PPO 1 is a monomer. The optimum pH for PPO 1 activity was 7. The PPO 1 was determined to be maximum thermally stable up to 35°C. Kinetic constants for PPO 1 were K(m)=44 mM and K(m)=1.3 mM using catechol and pyrogallol as substrate, respectively. The best substrates for PPO 1 were pyrogallol, 4-methylcatechol and catechol, while ascorbic acid and sodium metabisulfite were the most effective inhibitors.

Abstract
Thermal inactivation and enzyme kinetics of glucose oxidase (a FAD dependent enzyme) were studied in the absence and presence of trehalose. The inactivation rate constant decreased by up to 50% at temperatures between 50 and 70 degrees C in the presence of 0.6M trehalose; as a consequence the glucose oxidase half-life increased. Intrinsic fluorescence spectra showed a maximum center of spectral mass (CSM) red shift of 6.5nm. Therefore, major structural changes seem to be related to glucose oxidase thermal inactivation. Trehalose decreased the rate constant for unfolding as monitored by CSM red shift kinetics indicating that this disaccharide favors the most compact folded state. The E(a) for unfolding was increased from 204 to 221kJ mol(-1). It is proposed that FAD dissociation is preceded by the exposition of hydrophobic regions, while the presence of trehalose was able to hinder the release of FAD. Enzyme kinetics analysis showed that trehalose does not affect V(max) but instead decreases K(m); as a result enzyme efficiency was increased. The stabilizing effect of trehalose in a cofactor-dependent enzyme has not been tested to date. In addition, glucose oxidase has an enormous commercial importance and therefore, the use of trehalose to stabilize glucose oxidase in its multiple applications seems to be promising.

Abstract
The yeast plasma membrane H+-ATPase isolation procedure was improved; a highly pure enzyme (90-95%) was obtained after centrifugation on a trehalose concentration gradient. H+-ATPase kinetics was slightly cooperative: Hill number = 1.5, S0.5 = 800 microM ATP, and turnover number = 36 s-1. In contrast to those of other P-type ATPases, H+-ATPase fluorescence was highly sensitive to nucleotide binding; the fluorescence decreased 60% in the presence of both 5 mM ADP and AMP-PNP. Fluorescence titration with nucleotides allowed calculation of dissociation constants (Kd) from the binding site; Kd values for ATP and ADP were 700 and 800 microM, respectively. On the basis of amino acid sequence and homology model analysis, we propose that binding of the nucleotide to the N-domain is coupled to the movement of a loop beta structure and to the exposure of the Trp505 residue located in the loop. The recombinant N-domain also displayed a large hyperbolic fluorescence quenching when ATP binds; however, it displayed a higher affinity for ATP (Kd = 100 microM). We propose for P-type ATPases that structural movements during nucleotide binding could be followed if a Trp residue is properly located in the N-domain. Further, we propose the use of trehalose in enzyme purification protocols to increase the purity and quality of the isolated protein and to perform structural studies.

Abstract
Stress resistance is essential for survival. The mechanisms of molecule stabilization during stress are of interest for biotechnology, where many enzymes and other biomolecules are increasingly used at high temperatures and/or salt concentrations. Diverse organisms, exhibit rapid synthesis and accumulation of the disaccharide trehalose in response to stress. Trehalose is also rapidly hydrolyzed as soon as stress ends. In isolated enzymes, trehalose stabilizes both, structure and activity. In contrast, at optimal assay conditions, trehalose inhibits enzyme activity. A general mechanism underlying the trehalose effects observed at all temperatures probably is the trehalose-mediated increase in solution viscosity that leads to protein domain motion inhibition. This may be analyzed using Kramer's theory. The role of viscosity in the effects of trehalose is analyzed in examples from the literature and in studies on the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase from Kluyveromyces lactis. In the cell, it may be proposed that the large concentration of trehalose reached during stress stabilizes structures through viscosity. However, once stress ends trehalose has to be rapidly hydrolyzed in order to avoid the viscosity-mediated inhibition of enzymes.

Abstract
In proteins, some processes require conformational changes involving structural domain diffusion. Among these processes are protein folding, unfolding and enzyme catalysis. During catalysis some enzymes undergo large conformational changes as they progress through the catalytic cycle. According to Kramers theory, solvent viscosity results in friction against proteins in solution, and this should result in decreased motion, inhibiting catalysis in motile enzymes. Solution viscosity was increased by adding increasing concentrations of glycerol, sucrose and trehalose, resulting in a decrease in the reaction rate of the H+-ATPase from the plasma membrane of Kluyveromyces lactis. A direct correlation was found between viscosity (η) and the inhibition of the maximum rate of catalysis (Vmax). The protocol used to measure viscosity by means of a falling ball type viscometer is described, together with the determination of enzyme kinetics and the application of Kramers’ equation to evaluate the effect of viscosity on the rate of ATP hydrolysis by the H+-ATPase.

Abstract
The effect of increasing trehalose concentrations on the kinetics of the plasma membrane H+-ATPase from Kluyveromyces lactis was studied at different temperatures. At 20 degrees C, increasing concentrations of trehalose (0.2 to 0.8 M) decreased V(max) and increased S(0.5) (substrate concentration when initial velocity equals 0.5 V(max)), mainly at high trehalose concentrations (0.6 to 0.8 M). The quotient V(max)/S(0.5) decreased from 5.76 micromol of ATP mg of protein(-1) x min(-1) x mM(-1) in the absence of trehalose to 1.63 micromol of ATP mg of protein(-1) x min(-1) x mM(-1) in the presence of 0.8 M trehalose. The decrease in V(max) was linearly dependent on solution viscosity (eta), suggesting that inhibition was due to hindering of protein domain diffusional motion during catalysis and in accordance with Kramer's theory for reactions in solution. In this regard, two other viscosity-increasing agents, sucrose and glycerol, behaved similarly, exhibiting the same viscosity-enzyme inhibition correlation predicted. In the absence of trehalose, increasing the temperature up to 40 degrees C resulted in an exponential increase in V(max) and a decrease in enzyme cooperativity (n), while S(0.5) was not modified. As temperature increased, the effect of trehalose on V(max) decreased to become negligible at 40 degrees C, in good correlation with the temperature-mediated decrease in viscosity. The trehalose-mediated increase in S(0.5) was similar at all temperatures tested, and thus, trehalose effects on V(max)/S(0.5) were always observed. Trehalose increased the activation energy for ATP hydrolysis. Trehalose-mediated inhibition of enzymes may explain why yeast rapidly hydrolyzes trehalose when exiting heat shock.

Abstract
The activity of the isolated plasma membrane H+-ATPase from Kluyveromyces lactis was measured during incubation at 35-45 degrees C and in the absence or in the presence of 0-0.6 M trehalose. As the temperature of incubation was raised from 35 to 45 degrees C, increasing enzyme inactivation rates were observed. Thermal inactivation kinetics of the H+-ATPase were biphasic exhibiting a first rapid phase and then a second slow phase. The transition from the native state occurred through a temperature-mediated increase in the inactivation rate constants of both phases. A model is proposed where the native H+-ATPase yields a partially active intermediary during the first phase of inactivation and then the intermediary is slowly converted into a totally inactive enzyme in the second phase. At each of these temperatures trehalose protected the enzymatic activity in a concentration dependent manner. Full protection was observed at 0.6 M trehalose in the range of 35-40 degrees C. Whereas, at 42 and 45 degrees C, the trehalose-mediated thermoprotection of the H+-ATPase was only partial. Trehalose stabilized the enzyme mainly by preventing the temperature dependent increase of the first and second inactivation rate constants.

Abstract
In the presence of K(+), addition of ATP or ethanol to yeast mitochondria triggers the depletion of the transmembrane potential (DeltaPsi) and this is prevented by millimolar concentrations of phosphate (PO(4)). Different monovalent and polyvalent anions were tested for their protective effects on mitochondria from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Only arsenate (AsO(4)) and sulfate (SO(4)) were as efficient as PO(4) to protect mitochondria against the K(+) mediated swelling, depletion of the DeltaPsi, and decrease in the ratio of uncoupled state to state 4 respiration rates. Protection by PO(4), SO(4) or AsO(4) was inhibited by mersalyl, suggesting that these anions interact with a site located in the matrix side. In addition, the effects of SO(4) and AsO(4) on the F(1)F(0)-ATPase were tested: both SO(4) and AsO(4) inhibited the synthesis of ATP following competitive kinetics against PO(4) and non-competitive kinetics against ADP. The mersalyl sensitive uptake of (32)PO(4) was not inhibited by SO(4) or AsO(4), suggesting that the synthesis of ATP was inhibited at the F(1)F(0)-ATPase. The hydrolysis of ATP was not inhibited, only a stimulation was observed when AsO(4) or sulfite (SO(3)) were added. It is suggested that the structure and charge similarities of PO(4), AsO(4) and SO(4) result in undiscriminated binding to at least two sites located in the mitochondrial matrix: at one site, occupation by any of these three anions results in protection against uncoupling by K(+); at the second site, in the F(1)F(0)-ATPase, AsO(4) and SO(4) compete for binding against PO(4) leading to inhibition of the synthesis of ATP.

Abstract
During freeze-drying and rehydration, the activity of the H+-ATPase from the plasma membrane of Kluyveromyces lactis was preserved by increasing concentrations of carbohydrates. When the H+-ATPase was freeze-dried in the absence of carbohydrates the activity was lost. The protective efficiency of carbohydrates was as follows: trehalose > maltose > sucrose > glucose > galactose. Each carbohydrate exhibited the maximal protection at a concentration of 20 mg carbohydrate per milligram of protein or above. No structural changes of the rehydrated H+-ATPase were detected by intrinsic fluorescence measurements. Trehalose, at 20 mg/mg protein, protected the enzyme activity completely during freeze-drying and rehydration. Rehydration temperature was critical; at 20 degrees C or below, activity was fully retained, while at 30, 40, or 50 degrees C activity decreased in proportion with temperature. The trehalose-protected freeze-dried H+-ATPase was stored at different temperatures for up to 60 days. Storage at 4 degrees C resulted in retention of most of the enzymatic activity, while storage at 20 or 30 degrees C resulted in loss of activity. The protection of the H+-ATPase by trehalose suggests that this carbohydrate might protect other membrane enzymes from inactivation during handling.
