Fig. 4. Expression and solubility of WT thioredoxin (Trx) and its mutants in A307. Lane 1, uninduced WT Trx culture; lane 2, WT Trx whole-cell lysate after induction with arabinose; lane 3,Trx 25D whole-cell lysate after induction with arabinose; lane 4, Trx 78D whole-cell lysate after induction with arabinose; lane 5, Trx marker.





Supporting Figure 5

Fig. 5. Spectral characteristics of WT Trx and Trx 78D. (A) Far-UV CD spectra of WT (solid line) and Trx 78D (dashed line) in phosphate buffer (pH 7.0). (B) Near-UV CD spectra of WT Trx (solid line) and Trx 78D (dashed line) in phosphate buffer (pH 7.0). (C) Fluorescence emission spectra of WT Trx in absence of DTT (solid line), 78D Trx in absence of DTT (dotted line), WT in presence of DTT (dashed line), and 78D in presence of DTT (triangles).





Supporting Figure 6

Fig. 6. Thioredoxin activity assayed by catalysis of insulin aggregation. Aggregation of insulin was monitored by the intensity of scattered light at 650 nm in the presence of WT-Trx and DTT (─), 78DTrx and DTT (…), and only DTT (---).

Each homology model was derived from the indicated template (Protein Data Bank ID code) using alignments generated by the program in parentheses. "All" refers to the total score calculated using data from all 75 Asp mutants generated in this study. "Hydr" refers to the total score calculated for Asp mutants of hydrophobic amino acids only (35 mutants).

*rms deviation (rmsd) of homology model with the crystal structure (Protein Data Bank ID code 3vub) of CcdB.

Each homology model was derived from the indicated template (Protein Data Bank ID code) using alignments generated by the program in parentheses. "All" refers to the total score calculated using using ACC of all 101 residues of CcdB. "Hydr" refers to the total score calculated using hydrophobic amino acids only (50).
