Cytosolic 3,3',5-tri-iodo-L-thyronine-binding proteins (CTBP I, II and IV species) from human red blood cells undergo rapid loss of activity at low temperatures. Cold treatment of CTBPs was accompanied by dissociation of the polymeric protein to the 60 kDa inactive monomer. Re-activation of the cold-inactivated CTBP IV by warming resulted in association of the monomer to the active polymeric form. A similar association-dissociation phenomenon was also obtained isothermically, though pH changes. We conclude that CTBP I and CTBP II are polymeric forms of CTBP IV.
人红细胞中的胞质3,3',5-三碘-L-甲状腺原氨酸结合蛋白(CTBP I、II和IV型)在低温下活性迅速丧失。CTBPs经冷处理后,聚合蛋白解离为60 kDa的无活性单体。通过升温使冷失活的CTBP IV重新激活,导致单体缔合为活性聚合形式。通过改变pH值,也能等温获得类似的缔合-解离现象。我们得出结论,CTBP I和CTBP II是CTBP IV的聚合形式。
