p53 unfolding detected by CD but not by tryptophan fluorescence.

Abstract:

:Full-length human p53 protein was examined using tryptophan fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy (CD) to monitor unfolding. No significant alteration in tryptophan fluorescence for the tetrameric protein was detectable over a wide range of either urea or guanidine hydrochloride concentrations, in contrast to results with the isolated DNA binding domain [Bullock et al. (1997) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 94, 14338]. Under similar denaturant conditions, CD demonstrated significant protein unfolding for the full-length wild-type protein, with increased apparent structure loss compared to that detected during thermal denaturation [Nichols and Matthews (2001) Biochemistry 40, 3847]. Examination of X-ray structures containing two of the four tryptophan residues of a p53 monomer suggested local environments consistent with quenched fluorophores. Exploration of p53 fluorescence using potassium iodide as a quencher confirmed that these fluorophores are already substantially quenched in the native structure, and this quenching is not relieved during protein unfolding.
