摘要: The retinol-binding site of beta-lactoglobulin has been located by selective modification amino acid residues which reside in the two putative binding sites. Based upon separate crystallographic analyses bovine beta-lactoglobulin, different sites for retinol have proposed: one proposal favors an interior cavity, other a surface cleft. To discriminate between these models, we made four site-directed mutations introducing W19A or K70M pocket and F136A K141M pocket. exhibited marked decrease its retinoic compared to F136A, K141M, wild-type proteins. Retinyldenepropylamine, retinyl Schiff base analog retinol, was synthesized absorption spectrum when bound wild-type, K70M, proteins examined probe interaction with respective lysine residues. retinylidenepropylamine kinetic red shift as distinct from blue observed it is either beta-lactoglobulins. indicates protonation base. resulting tagged peptide isolated after cyanogen bromide cleavage found be Ala25-Met107 peptide, consistent Lys70 being residue interacts retinol. These results support that binds evolutionarily conserved cavity rather than
