Native-like Secondary Structure in Interleukin-1.beta. Inclusion Bodies by Attenuated Total Reflectance FTIR

Oberg, Keith, Chrunyk, Boris A., Wetzel, Ronald, Fink, Anthony L.·1994·Biochemistry

Abstract

Attenuated total reflectance FTIR has been used to study the structure of human interleukin-1 beta in inclusion bodies (IBs) and other aggregated forms. The secondary structure composition of native wild-type IL-1 beta determined by FTIR is in excellent agreement with that previously determined by crystallography and NMR: 52% beta-sheet, 25% loop/irregular structure, and 23% turn. Remarkably, IL-1 beta inclusion bodies exhibit secondary structural composition very similar to that of the native protein. The results indicate that the IBs form from a folding intermediate that has nativelike secondary structure. The secondary structure content of aggregated IL-1 beta, formed either in refolding or by thermal denaturation, was identical within experimental error to that of the IB, indicating that these aggregates were formed from intermediates with structures similar to that of the inclusion body.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
