Spectroscopic analysis of M. tuberculosis CysA2. (a) Circular dichroism spectra of CysA2 in absence and presence of co-substrates cyanide and thiosulfate. (b) Comparison of the secondary structure content of the recombinant CysA2 (CysA2r) with the structure deposited in PDB (CysA2 PDB 3HWI) and in presence of KCN (CysA2r + KCN). (c) Thermal unfolding of the protein monitored at 222 nm revealing a Tm of 58.3 °C. CysA2 is considered a stable protein. (d) Dynamic light scattering analysis of CysA2 in absence and presence of thiosulfate (Na2S2O3), cyanide (KCN) and both. The results show that the substrates induced significant changes in the hydrodynamic radius, which is reduced just after addition of thiosulfate and cyanide (3.8 nm to 3.0), and it is reestablished after 10 minutes.
