Upon folding, some proteins become conformationally trapped, presumably to protect against aggregation or premature degradation. To probe the occurrence of this property, known as kinetic stability, we used a diagonal two-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis method to probe biologically diverse organisms. The results show that kinetic stability is prevalent in prokaryotes, especially thermophiles, but uncommon in eukaryotic organisms, thereby suggesting that this property might be crucial for the adaptation and survival of less complex prokaryotic organisms.
蛋白质折叠后,有些会形成构象束缚,可能是为了防止聚集或过早降解。为了研究这种被称为动力学稳定性的特性是否存在,我们使用对角线二维十二烷基硫酸钠聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳方法探测了具有不同生物学特性的生物体。结果表明,动力学稳定性在原核生物中很常见,尤其是嗜热菌,但在真核生物中不常见,这表明这种特性可能对较简单的原核生物的适应和生存至关重要。
