A common mechanism for recombinant human NGF, BDNF, NT-3, and murine NGF slow unfolding

The recombinant human nerve growth factor (hNGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), neurotrophin 4/5 (NT4/5), and murine NGF (mNGF) dimers all undergo rapid unfolding and dissociation to monomer in GdnHCl.

description The recombinant human nerve growth factor (hNGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), neurotrophin 4/5 (NT4/5), and murine NGF (mNGF) dimers all undergo rapid unfolding and dissociation to monomer in GdnHCl. Fluorescence spectroscopy, reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, and size-exclusion chromatography were used to show that this monomer M1 converts slowly to a more fully unfolded monomer, M2, by a first order process with half-lives of 22, 2.5, 1.6, and 0.73 h for hNGF, mNGF, NT-3, and BDNF, respectively, at 25 °C. Linear Arrhenius plots for the conversion of M1 to M2 yielded activation energies of 27, 22, 24, and 24 kcal/mol for hNGF, mNGF, NT-3, and BDNF, respectively. The refolding of these neurotrophins from 5 M GdnHCl was also first order with NT-3 the slowest to refold and BDNF the fastest. Threading of the N-terminus out through the cystine-knot loop present in each of these proteins is proposed as the slow step in unfolding. The number of amino acids in the cystine-knot loop (14 for hNGF, mNGF, NT-3, and BDNF; 21 for NT4/5), and the number and position of the proline residues in this loop (2 for hNGF; 1 for mNGF, NT-3, BDNF, and NT4/5) correlate with the relative rates of unfolding. The smaller the loop and the greater the number of prolines, the more hindered and slower the unfolding.
