Effects of the two cysteine residues (Cys-41 and Cys-44) of DsbBS-S,S-S for the reaction with DsbASH,SH.
A, typical time courses of frequency changes in the QCM on which DsbB(C41A,C44A)S-S embedded in supported bilayers was immobilized in response to the addition of DsbASH,SH (a) and DsbA(C33A)SH (b). The experimental condition was the same as that of reactions between DsbASH,SH and DsbBS-S,S-S in Fig. 3A. B, saturation curves of mass increases due to the intermediate formation between DsbA(C33A)SH and DsbBS-S,S-S (a) or DsbB(C41A,C44A)S-S (b) immobilized on a QCM. Maximum binding amounts (−ΔFmax) were calculated to be 321 ± 12 Hz for DsbBS-S,S-S and 392 ± 78 Hz for DsbB(C41A,C44A)S-S with experimental errors, respectively.
