On the equilibrium between monomeric alpha-lactalbumin and the chaperoning complex of alpha-crystallin.

Abstract:

:In chaperoning dithiothreitol-denatured alpha-lactabumin, alpha-crystallin forms a chaperoning complex. In order to study the kinetics of such chaperoning it needs to be established whether the formation of the chaperoning complex is a reversible or irreversible process. The chaperoning reaction was studied by dynamic light scattering as a function of concentration and weight ratio of alpha-lactalbumin/alpha-crystallin. HPLC and subsequent SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis experiments established that the chaperoning complex formed contains both alpha-crystallin and alpha-lactalbumin. Upon rechromatographing the chaperoning complex, the presence of monomeric alpha-lactalbumin has been demonstrated in addition to the chaperoning complex itself. This and equilibrium dialysis experiments demonstrated conclusively the existence of an equilibrium between monomeric partially denatured alpha-lactalbumin and the chaperoning complex made of alpha-lactalbumin and alpha-crystallin.
