Abstract：
:Native tetrameric alpha 2-macroglobulin molecules (alpha 2M) can be converted into a population of dimers by incubation with various divalent cations such as Zn, Cd, Mg, Cu, Ni, Co. This dissociation is completed within 30 min at 37 degrees C. These dimers have a characteristic shape and a size of about 16 X 8 nm, and appear to be the half of the native alpha 2M molecule which has a clear tetrameric structure as seen in the electron microscope. At room temperature or below, dimers obtained with 5 to 100 mM Zn++ can reassociate in long linear polymers which display a regular chain-like arrangement and a helical periodicity. The structural characteristics of this polymer are described. The trypsin inhibitory capacity of Zn++-treated alpha 2M has been studied in an attempt to correlate its Zn++-induced conformational changes with its functional modifications.
