UCM interact with frataxin.
Fluorescence studies of the interaction of 2 μM recombinant frataxin precursor with different concentration of the indicated UCM (ligand). The graphs represent the fractional loss of the protein fluorescence intensity (ΔF/F0), in the presence of different concentration of ligand, versus the ratio between ligand and frataxin. The interaction with UCM53 was also analyzed in the case of frataxin precursor previously denaturated in 3 M guanidinium hydrochloride (upper left panel, black square symbols). The half-saturation binding constant, L1/2 (μM), of frataxin precursor with UCM53, UCM108 and UCM72 is indicated in each corresponding panel.
