摘要

Protein splicing is a unique post-translational process in which an intein excises itself from a precursor with the concomitant ligation of flank-ing sequences. The binding of zinc to intein inhibits protein splicing reversi-bly and EDTA relieves the inhibition. Copper was found to inhibit protein trans splicing; however, the recovery of intein splicing required both EDTA and TCEP, suggesting a different inhib-ition mechanism for copper compared to zinc. In this work, we have investi-gated the binding properties and inhib-ition effects of copper ions on the RecA intein from Mycobacterium tu - berculosis. Both Cu~+ and Cu~(2+) exhibit-ed high binding affinity to inteins, while different binding sites were iden-tified. Cu~(2+) coordinates to Cys1, the key residue involved in the mechanism of protein splicing, however, Cu~+ does not coordinate to cysteine. An in vitro inhibition assay indicated that monova-lent Cu~+ demonstrates reversible in-hibition to protein splicing, and the in-hibitory efficiency is comparable to Zn ~(2+). Redox reaction between Cu~(2+) and cysteine in inteins were observed and the rate constants were deter-mined. The results suggested a dual role for Cu~(2+) in the inhibition of intein splicing: strong coordination of Cu~(2+) to key residues (including Cys1) in the intein, and subsequent oxidation of Cys1, the residue required for the N→ S acyl shift step in protein splicing. A kinetic study suggested that the coordi-nation could be the major cause of in-hibition effect of Cu~(2+) initially, where-as the redox reaction could play an ad-ditional role in inhibition at a later stage.
