Hydrophobic probe binding of beta-lactoglobulin in the native and molten globule state induced by high pressure as affected by pH, KIO(3) and N-ethylmaleimide.

High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) at 500 MPa and 50 degrees C induces beta-LG into the molten globule state. Retinol, cis-parinaric acid (CPA), and 1-anilino-naphthalene-8-sulfonate (ANS) fluorescence from pH 2.5 to 10.5 in the presence of the native and molten globule states of beta-LG indicate that retinol binds to beta-LG in the calyx, CPA at the surface hydrophobic site, and ANS in multiple hydrophobic sites. HHP treatment results in a decrease of beta-LG affinity for retinol and CPA, suggesting conformational changes in the calyx and surface hydrophobic site of beta-LG during HHP treatment. beta-LG treated by HHP in the presence of N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) retains retinol affinity, suggesting that NEM protects the calyx conformation of beta-LG during HHP treatment. HHP treatment of beta-LG in the presence of KIO(3) exhibits a great decrease of CPA affinity compared to HHP-treated beta-LG in the absence of KIO(3), suggesting the formation of non-native disulfide bonding at the CPA binding site.

Modification of bovine beta-lactoglobulin by glycation in a powdered state or in an aqueous solution: immunochemical characterization.

Bovine beta-LG was modified by glycation with lactose in a powdered state or in an aqueous solution. An immunological characterization was performed using monoclonal antibodies with defined epitopes. The results showed that the structural changes were confined to the AB loop region of the molecules when glycation was conducted in a restricted water environment and had little consequences on the association state of glycated beta-LG. The protein conformation was much more extensively modified when glycation was performed in an aqueous solution at 60 degrees C, despite a lower glycation extent. These structural changes were located at the dimer interface (AB loop, GH loop, beta-strand I, and alpha-helix). These results allowed us to establish a relationship between the conformational changes and the modification of the association state of the glycated protein (formation of disulfide bridges between the free thiol groups of two monomers), previously described.
