The U-21 strain, known for secreting chaperones into the extracellular milieu, emerges as a promising candidate for the development of novel therapeutics termed disaggregases for Parkinson's disease. Our study focuses on characterizing the secreted protein encoded by the C0965_000195 locus in the genome of this strain. Through sequence analysis and structural predictions, the protein encoded by C0965_000195 is identified as ClpL, homologs of which are known for their chaperone functions. The chaperone activity of ClpL from U-21 is investigated by assessing the refolding of luciferases with varying thermostabilities from and within cells. The results indicate that the gene from U-21 can compensate for the absence of the gene, enhancing the refolding capacity of thermodenatured proteins in -deficient cells. experiments demonstrate that both spent culture medium containing proteins secreted by U-21 cells, including ClpL, and purified heterologically expressed ClpL partially prevent the thermodenaturation of luciferases. The findings suggest that the ClpL protein from U-21, exhibiting disaggregase properties against aggregating proteins, may represent a key component contributing to the pharmabiotic attributes of this strain.
U - 21菌株以向细胞外环境分泌伴侣蛋白而闻名,它有望成为开发治疗帕金森病的新型解聚酶疗法的候选菌株。我们的研究重点是对该菌株基因组中C0965_000195位点编码的分泌蛋白进行表征。通过序列分析和结构预测,C0965_000195编码的蛋白被鉴定为ClpL,其同源物以伴侣蛋白功能而闻名。通过评估不同热稳定性的荧光素酶在细胞内和细胞外的重折叠情况,研究了U - 21菌株中ClpL的伴侣蛋白活性。结果表明,U - 21菌株的基因可以弥补基因的缺失,增强缺陷细胞中热变性蛋白的重折叠能力。实验表明,含有U - 21细胞分泌的蛋白质(包括ClpL)的用过的培养基和纯化的异源表达ClpL都能部分防止荧光素酶的热变性。研究结果表明,U - 21菌株的ClpL蛋白对聚集蛋白具有解聚酶特性,可能是该菌株药物生物特性的关键组成部分。
