Beschreibung

General description

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.

Application

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.

Biochem/physiol Actions

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.

Verändert die Substratspezifität von Galactosyltransferase und beschleunigt so die Lactosebildung; der Komplex aus Galactosyltransferase und α-Lactalbumin wird Lactose-Synthase genannt.

Verändert die Substratspezifität von Galactosyltransferase und beschleunigt so die Lactosebildung; der Komplex aus Galactosyltransferase und α-Lactalbumin wird Lactose-Synthase genannt. Ortsgerichtete Mutagenese von Asp⁸⁷ oder Asp⁸⁸ an Ala hebt die starke Calcium-Bindungsaffinität vollständig auf und reduziert die Stimulation von Lactose-Synthase auf <3,5 % der Maximalrate.
