| Abstract |
Chaperone GroEL was treated with different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. The conformational states of GroEL were monitored by protein intrinsic fluorescence, 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonate fluorescence, and far-UV CD measurements. The results show that GroEL has unusual ability to resist oxidative stress. GroEL kept its quaternary structure and activity even when treated with 10 mM hydrogen peroxide. Two fragments were formed when GroEL was treated with high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (more than 20 mM). It is suggested that GroEL, as a molecular chaperone, is related to oxidative process in vivo. |
