Abstract:

Fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism(CD), isothermal titration calorimetry(ITC), electrophoresis, molecular docking and other modern analytical techniques were used to study the combination of the apoN-terminal domain of Euplotes octocarinatus centrin(apoN-EoCen) with Trifluoperazine(TFP) and observed the effect of TFP on the properties of apoN-EoCen. The results showed that TFP could bind to the E and F helix of the second EF hand of apoN-EoCen and could be combined with a molar ratio of 1∶1 stoichio-metry in 10 mmol/L Hepes buffer solution(pH=7.4) at room temperature. The conditional binding constant is about 10 3 L/mol. The binding of TFP leads to the change of protein secondary structure and the decrease of α-helix content and the decrease of Tb 3+sensitized fluorescence by 83%, and the nuclease activity of apoN-EoCen cleaved DNA is obviously inhibited. Tb 3+ can still occupy the two metal ion binding sites of the protein in the apoN-EoCen-TFP complex, and the conditional binding constant is about 7.0×10 5 L/mol. The bonding of TFP does not inhibit protein aggregation caused by Tb 3+ ions.

Key words: apoN-EoCen, Trifluoperazine, Tb 3+, Spectral analysis
