概要 | We have studied the interactions between various synthetic peptides and two model unfolded proteins, reduced alpha-lactalbumin and reduced and carboxymethylated alpha-lactalbumin. We found that mitochondrial presequences could induce aggregation of the unfolded alpha-lactalbumins but not of the native alpha-lactalbumin. The presequence-induced aggregation of unfolded alpha-lactalbumin was dependent on electrostatic interactions and on the amphiphilicity of the presequences. Since positive charge and amphiphilicity are necessary for the targeting function of mitochondrial presequences, presequence-induced aggregation may be responsible for the instability of mitochondrial precursor proteins and may need to be inhibited by binding factors in the cytosol. |
