Descrizione generale

α-Lactalbumin is a small, globular, whey protein that has been found in all milk studied to date. It is a metalloprotein of approximately 14 kDa produced in the mammary glands.

Applicazioni

α-Lactalbumin was used in the isolation and analysis of restriction endonuclease digestive patterns of chromosomal DNA from Mycobacterium paratuberculosis and other Mycobacterium species. It was also used in a study to test if the neuroendocrine protein 7B2 suppresses the aggregation of neurodegenerative disease-related proteins.

Azioni biochim/fisiol

α-Lactalbumin is the cheif protein in human milk. It consists of a single polypeptide chain with 8 cysteines which form disulfide bridges. α-Lactalbumin binds several metal ions, including calcium, which is thought to play a role in the regeneration of native α-lactalbumin from the reduced, denatured form. α-Lactalbumin also has a distinct zinc binding site that is thought to play a role in the binding of the lactose synthase complex. The mature protein consists of 123 amino acid residues (14 kD), and it has a three-dimensional structure with 1.7 Α° resolution, demonstrating four α-helices and a triple stranded antiparallel β-sheet.
Alters the substrate specificity of galactosyltransferase to increase the rate of lactose formation; the complex of galactosyltransferase and α-lactalbumin is called lactose synthase. Site-directed mutagenesis of Asp87 or Asp88 to Ala completely abolishes the strong calcium binding affinity and reduces the stimulation of lactose synthase to <3.5% of the maximal rate.

Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer (AD) and Parkinson (PD) are characterized by abnormal aggregation of misfolded β-sheet-rich proteins, including amyloid-β (Aβ)-derived peptides and tau in AD and α-synuclein in PD. Correct folding and assembly of these proteins are controlled by

The thermal denaturation of bovine and human apo-alpha-lactalbumins at neutral pH has been studied by intrinsic protein fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD), and differential scanning microcalorimetry (DSC) methods. Apo-alpha-lactalbumin possesses a thermal transition with a midpoint about 25-30 degrees C under
