Ultra-rapid glutathionylation of chymotrypsinogen in its molten globule-like conformation: A comparison to archaeal proteins
Chymotrypsinogen, when reduced and taken to its molten globule-like conformation, displays a single cysteine with an unusual kinetic propensity toward oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and other organic thiol reagents. A single residue, identified by mass spectrometry like Cys1, reacts with GSSG about 1400 times faster than an unperturbed protein cysteine. A reversible protein-GSSG complex and a low pK(a) (8.1 ± 0.1) make possible such astonishing kinetic property which is absent toward other natural disulfides like cystine, homocystine and cystamine. An evident hyper-reactivity toward 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) and 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) was also found for this specific residue. The extraordinary reactivity toward GSSG is absent in two proteins of the thermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus, an organism lacking glutathione: the Protein Disulphide Oxidoreductase (SsPDO) and the Bacterioferritin Comigratory Protein 1 (Bcp1) that displays Cys residues with an even lower pK(a) value (7.5 ± 0.1) compared to chymotrypsinogen. This study, which also uses single mutants in Cys residues for Bcp1, proposes that this hyper-reactivity of a single cysteine, similar to that found in serum albumin, lysozyme, ribonuclease, may have relevance to drive the "incipit" of the oxidative folding of proteins from organisms where the glutathione/oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) system is present.
