In this study we cloned and expressed a small heat shock protein, tpv-HSP 14.3, from thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma volcanium. This novel recombinant small heat shock protein was purified to homogeneity and produced a protein band of 14.3 kDa on SDS-polyacrylamide gel. Transmission electron microscopy images of the negatively stained tpv-EISP 14.3 samples showed spherical particles of 13 nm diameter. E. coli cells over expressing tpv-HSP 14.3 endowed the cells with some degree of thermotolerance. After exposure to 52 degrees C for 120 min, survivability of the E. coli cells expressing tpv-HSP 14.3 was approximately 2.5-fold higher than the control cells. As a molecular chaperone tpv-HSP 14.3 enhanced the thermal stabilization of substrate proteins, pig heart citrate synthase and bovine L-glutamic dehdyrogenase, considerably. The highest protection effect of tpv-HSP 14.3 was observed at 47 degrees C for pig heart citrate synthase; the remaining activity was 5-fold higher than that of the sample without tpv-HSP 14.3. The tpv-sHSP 14.3 prevented inactivation of bovine L-glutamic dehdyrogenase the most effectively at 53 degrees C; the residual activity was approximately 2-fold higher than that of the sample heated without tpv-HSP 14.3. However, refolding activity of the tpv-HSP 14.3 was relatively weak for the chemically denatured substrate proteins.

Improvement of holdase activity of a small heat shock protein from extremely acidophilic archaea Kaçer, Yağmur; Kocabıyık, Semra; Department of Biochemistry (2019) In this study, a small heat shock protein gene (po-sHSP20) of archaeon Picrophilus oshimae which is the most thermoacidophilic organism known, was cloned and overexpressed in E.coli for the first time. The recombinant po-sHSP20 protein that was resistant to high temperature was purified to homogeneity by affinity chromatography. Oligomeric structure analysis of the po-sHSP20 by Size Exclusion Chromatography showed that it exists mostly as 12- and 18-mer oligomers with some dimeric/monomeric units under phys...
Structural modelling and functional analysis of the engineered small heat-shock protein, tpv-hsp14.3 from thermoplasma volcanium Sheraj, Ilir; Kocabıyık, Semra; Department of Biology (2014) In this study, a small heat shock protein tpv-Hsp14.3 from a thermoacidophilic Archaeon, Thermoplasma volcanium was studied. sHSPs are low molecular weight proteins involved in different stress responses to protect the cellular proteome and enhance survival of the host organism. For structure-function analysis of the protein, both experimental and computational tools were used. Sequence alignments with closely-related sHSPs showed high sequence conservation at the core α-Crystalline domain and a V/I/L-X-V/I...
Prediction of the effects of single amino acid variations on protein functionality with structural and annotation centric modeling Cankara, Fatma; Tunçbağ, Nurcan; Department of Bioinformatics (2020) Whole-genome and exome sequencing studies have indicated that genomic variations may cause deleterious effects on protein functionality via various mechanisms. Single nucleotide variations that alter the protein sequence, and thus, the structure and the function, namely non-synonymous SNPs (nsSNP), are associated with many genetic diseases in human. The current rate of manually annotating the reported nsSNPs cannot catch up with the rate of producing new sequencing data. To aid this process, automated compu...
Essential Structural and Functional Features of Small Heat Shock Proteins in Molecular Chaperoning Process Kocabıyık, Semra (2009-06-01) Small heat shock proteins are ubiquitously found in all three domains of life, although they are the most poorly conserved family of molecular chaperones. Their involvement in anti-stress mechanisms of the cells have been clearly demonstrated by induction of their expression in response to various environmental and pathological stresses. Small heat shock proteins comprise the most effective chaperone family concerning their unusual capacity of substrate binding. It is well documented that small heat shock p...
Induced CYP1A mRNA, protein and catalytic activity in the liver of feral fish, leaping mullet, Liza saliens Arinc, E; Kocabıyık, Semra; Su, E (2001-02-01) In this study, we examined whether levels of P4501A mRNA expression were naturally induced in feral fish, Liza saliens, and whether CYP1A protein levels and associated enzyme activity, EROD, were also increased. Induction of mRNA was measured using a nucleic acid hybridization technique. For the hybridization studies, a new 33-mer oligonucleotide probe 5 ' -dCTC ATC CAG CTT CCT GTC CTC GCA GTG ATC AAT-3 ' was designed, which corresponded to the totally conserved amino acid motif of CYP1A protein from positi...
