Abstract
The effects were assessed of high hydrostatic pressure on the activity and structure of rabbit skeletal muscle proteasome. The pressure effects on the activity were measured by the amount of fluorometric products released from synthetic substrates under pressure and from fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled casein after releasing the pressure. The effects on the structure were measured by fluorescene spectroscopy under pressure, and by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and surface hydrophobicity after releasing the pressure. The optimal pressure for the hydrolyzing activity of synthetic peptides was 50 MPa. The degradation of FITC-labeled casein increased linearly with increasing pressure applied up to 200 MPa, and then markedly decreased up to at 400 MPa. The changes in the tertiary structure detected by fluorometric measurement were irreversible, whereas the changes in the secondary structure were small compared with those by heat treatment. The pressure-induced activation of proteasome therefore seems to have been due to a little unfolding of the active sites of proteasome.

Abstract
High hydrostatic pressure combined with various spectroscopies is a powerful technique to study protein folding. An ideal model system for protein folding studies should have the following characteristics. (1) The protein should be sensitive to pressure, so that the protein can be unfolded under mild pressure. (2) The folding process of the protein should be easily modulated by several chemical or physical factors. (3) The folding process should be easily monitored by some spectroscopic parameters. Here, we summarized the pressure induced folding studies of two proteins isolated from spinach photosystem II, namely the 23-kDa and the 33-kDa protein. They have all the characteristics mention above and might be an ideal model protein system for pressure studies.

Abstract
Pressure-induced unfolding of 23-kDa protein from spinach photosystem II has been systematically investigated at various experimental conditions. Thermodynamic equilibrium studies indicate that the protein is very sensitive to pressure. At 20 degrees C and pH 5.5, 23-kDa protein shows a reversible two-state unfolding transition under pressure with a midpoint near 160 MPa, which is much lower than most natural proteins studied to date. The free energy (DeltaG(u)) and volume change (DeltaV(u)) for the unfolding are 5.9 kcal/mol and -160 ml/mol, respectively. It was found that NaCl and sucrose significantly stabilize the protein from unfolding and the stabilization is associated not only with an increase in DeltaG(u) but also with a decrease in DeltaV(u). The pressure-jump studies of 23-kDa protein reveal a negative activation volume for unfolding (-66.2 ml/mol) and a positive activation volume for refolding (84.1 ml/mol), indicating that, in terms of system volume, the protein transition state lies between the folded and unfolded states. Examination of the temperature effect on the unfolding kinetics indicates that the thermal expansibility of the transition state and the unfolded state of 23-kDa protein are closer to each other and they are larger than that of the native state. The diverse pressure-refolding pathways of 23-kDa protein in some conditions were revealed in pressure-jump kinetics.

Abstract
Protein misfolding and formation of structured aggregates are considered to be the earliest events in the development of neurodegenerative diseases, but the mechanism of these biological phenomena remains to be elucidated. Here, we report a study of heat- and pressure-induced unfolding of human Q26 and murine Q6 ataxin-3 using spectroscopic methods. UV absorbance and fluorescence revealed that heat and pressure induced a structural transition of both proteins to a molten globule conformation. The unfolding pathway was partly irreversible and led to a protein conformation where tryptophans were more exposed to water. Furthermore, the use of fluorescent probes (8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonate and thioflavin T) allowed the identification of different intermediates during the process of pressure-induced unfolding. At high temperature and pressure, human Q26, but not murine Q6, underwent concentration-dependent aggregation. Fourier transform infrared and circular dichroism spectroscopy revealed that these aggregates are characterized by an increased beta-sheet content. As revealed by electron microscopy, heat- and pressure-induced aggregates were different; high temperature treatment led to fibrillar microaggregates (8-10-nm length), whereas high pressure induced oligomeric structures of globular shape (100 nm in diameter), which sometimes aligned to higher order suprastructures. Several intermediate structures were detected in this process. Two factors appear to govern ataxin unfolding and aggregation, the length of the polyglutamine tract and its protein context.

Abstract
We have studied the reaction native left arrow over right arrow denatured for the 33-kDa protein isolated from photosystem II. Sucrose and glycerol have profound effects on pressure-induced unfolding. The additives shift the equilibrium to the left; they also cause a significant decrease in the standard volume change (DeltaV). The change in DeltaV was related to the sucrose and glycerol concentrations. The decrease in DeltaV varied with the additive: sucrose caused the largest effect, glycerol the smallest. The theoretical shift of the half-unfolding pressure (P1/2) calculated from the net increase in free energy by addition of sucrose and glycerol was lower than that obtained from experimental mea- surements. This indicates that the free energy change caused by preferential hydration of the protein is not the unique factor involved in the protein stabilization. The reduction in DeltaV showed a large contribution to the theoretical P1/2 shift, suggesting that the DeltaV change, caused by the sucrose or glycerol was associated with the protein stabilization. The origin of the DeltaV change is discussed. The rate of pressure-induced unfolding in the presence of sucrose or glycerol was slower than the refolding rate although both were significantly slower than that observed without any stabilizers.

Abstract
An abnormal fluorescence emission of protein was observed in the 33-kDa protein which is one component of the three extrinsic proteins in spinach photosystem II particle (PS II). This protein contains one tryptophan and eight tyrosine residues, belonging to a "B type protein". It was found that the 33-kDa protein fluorescence is very different from most B type proteins containing both tryptophan and tyrosine residues. For most B type proteins studied so far, the fluorescence emission is dominated by the tryptophan emission, with the tyrosine emission hardly being detected when excited at 280 nm. However, for the present 33-kDa protein, both tyrosine and tryptophan fluorescence emissions were observed, the fluorescence emission being dominated by the tyrosine residue emission upon a 280 nm excitation. The maximum emission wavelength of the 33-kDa protein tryptophan fluorescence was at 317 nm, indicating that the single tryptophan residue is buried in a very strong hydrophobic region. Such a strong hydrophobic environment is rarely observed in proteins when using tryptophan fluorescence experiments. All parameters of the protein tryptophan fluorescence such as quantum yield, fluorescence decay, and absorption spectrum including the fourth derivative spectrum were explored both in the native and pressure-denatured forms.

Abstract
Calcofluor White is a fluorescent probe that interacts with polysaccharides and is commonly used in clinical studies. Interaction between Calcofluor White and carbohydrate residues of alpha1-acid glycoprotein (orosomucoid) was previously studied at low and high concentrations of Calcofluor compared to that of the protein. alpha1-Acid glycoprotein contains 40% carbohydrate by weight and has up to 16 sialic acid residues. At equimolar concentrations of Calcofluor and alpha1-acid glycoprotein, the fluorophore displays free motions [Albani, J. R.; Sillen, A.; Coddeville, B.; Plancke, Y. D.; Engelborghs, Y. Carbohydr. Res. 1999, 322, 87-94], while at high concentration of Calcofluor, its surrounding microenvironment is rigid, inducing the rigidity of the fluorophore itself [Albani, J. R.; Sillen, A.; Plancke, Y. D.; Coddeville, B.; Engelborghs, Y. Carbohydr. Res. 2000, 327, 333-340]. In the present work, red-edge excitation spectra and steady-state anisotropy studies performed on Trp residues in the presence of Calcofluor, showed that the apparent dynamics of Trp residues are not modified. However, deconvoluting the emission spectra with two different methods into different components, reveals that the structure of the protein matrix has been disrupted in the presence of high Calcofluor concentrations.

Abstract
The 33-kDa protein isolated from the spinach photosystem II particle is an ideal model to explore high-pressure protein-unfolding. The protein has a very low free energy as previously reported by chemical unfolding studies, suggesting that it must be easy to modulate its unfolding transition by rather mild pressure. Moreover, the protein molecule consists of only one tryptophan residue (Trp241) and eight tyrosine residues, which can be conveniently used to probe the protein conformation and structural changes under pressure using either fluorescence spectroscopy or fourth derivative UV absorbance spectroscopy. The different experimental methods used in the present study indicate that at 20 degrees C and pH 6, the 33-kDa protein shows a reversible two-state unfolding transition from atmospheric pressure to about 180 MPa. This value is much lower than those found for the unfolding of most proteins studied so far. The unfolding transition induces a large red shift of the maximum fluorescence emission of 34 nm (from 316 nm to 350 nm). The change in standard free energy (DeltaGo) and in volume (DeltaV) for the transition at pH 6.0 and 20 degrees C are -14.6 kJ.mol-1 and -120 mL.mol-1, respectively, in which the DeltaGo value is consistent with that obtained by chemical denaturation. We found that pressure-induced protein unfolding is promoted by elevated temperatures, which seem largely attributed to the decrease in the absolute value of DeltaGo (only a minor variation was observed for the DeltaV value). However, the promotion of the unfolding by alkaline pH seems mainly related to the increase in DeltaV without any significant changes in DeltaGo. It was also found that NaCl significantly protects the protein from pressure-induced unfolding. In the presence of 1 M NaCl, the pressure needed to induce the half-unfold of the protein is shifted to a higher value (shift of 75 MPa) in comparison with that observed without NaCl. Interestingly, in the presence of NaCl, the value of DeltaV is significantly reduced whilst that of DeltaGo remains as before. The unfolding-refolding kinetics of the protein has also been studied by pressure-jump, in which it was revealed that both reactions are a two-state transition process with a relatively slow relaxation time of about 102 s.

Abstract
The high pressure effects on fluorescence of free tryptophan (Trp) and its derivatives, N-acetyl-tryptophan (AT), N-acetyl-tryptophanamide (NATA), tryptophanamide (TA), and tryptophan, containing 6-polypeptides in aqueous solution, were investigated in a pressure range from 0.1 to 650 MPa. It was found by analyzing the center of spectral mass in the wavelength range from 300 to 450 nm that high pressure shifted the fluorescence spectra of all these species to red direction: 421 cm(-1) for Trp, 305 cm(-1) for AT, 310 cm(-1) for NATA, 265 cm(-1) for TA, and 220 cm(-1) for single tryptophan containing 6-polypeptides. All the fluorescence efficiencies (i.e., quantum yield) of the compounds were reduced with pressure except free tryptophan where its fluorescence efficiency was enhanced with pressure. Glycerol, ethanol, and pH obviously influenced the pressure effects on their fluorescence characteristics. Since the tryptophan fluorescence is usually used as a probe for protein structural investigation, these findings suggested that the intrinsic pressure effect on tryptophan (or its derivatives) must be taken in consideration to explain the phenomenon observed in high pressure study on biomolecules when using the usual fluorospectroscopic approaches. In the present investigation, the mechanisms involved for pressure effects on tryptophan and its derivatives were explored and discussed.

Abstract
The pressure denaturation of trypsin from bovine pancreas was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy in the pressure range 0. 1-700 MPa and by FTIR spectroscopy up to 1000 MPa. The tryptophan fluorescence measurements indicated that at pH 3.0 and 0 degrees C the pressure denaturation of trypsin is reversible but with a large hysteresis in the renaturation profile. The standard volume changes upon denaturation and renaturation are -78 mL.mol-1 and +73 mL.mol-1, respectively. However, the free energy calculated from the data in the compression and decompression directions are quite different in absolute values with + 36.6 kJ.mol-1 for the denaturation and -5 kJ. mol-1 for the renaturation. For the pressure denaturation at pH 7.3 the tryptophan fluorescence measurement and enzymatic activity assays indicated that the pressure denaturation of trypsin is irreversible. Interestingly, the study on 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfonate (ANS) binding to trypsin under pressure leads to the opposite conclusion that the denaturation is reversible. FTIR spectroscopy was used to follow the changes in secondary structure. The pressure stability data found by fluorescence measurements are confirmed but the denaturation was irreversible at low and high pH in the FTIR investigation. These findings confirm that the trypsin molecule has two domains: one is related to the enzyme active site and the tryptophan residues; the other is related to the ANS binding. This is in agreement with the study on urea unfolding of trypsin and the knowledge of the molecular structure of trypsin.
