title: [The role of epsilon-amino groups of lysine of human serum albumin in heat-induced protein denaturation. Increased stability of glycosylated and alkylated albumin in aggregation during heating].
abstract: Human serum albumin was glycosidated by prolonged protein incubation in phosphate buffer, pH 6.8-7.0, with excess glucose at 37 degrees C. epsilon-amino groups of lysine residues of the albumin molecule were alkylated by pyridoxal-5-phosphate in the presence of NaBH4. The solutions of glycosidated and alkylated serum albumin were incubated at different temperature values in the range of 20 to 80 degrees C in phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, over 30 min. The nondenatured monomer and the resulting aggregated were isolated by TSK-HW-55-gel column chromatography and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The stability of modified proteins elevated in parallel to the increase in the number of the ligand molecules covalently bound to albumin amino groups. The 1-3% aqueous solutions of glycosidated serum albumin containing 3-4 glucose residues and those of alkylated albumin containing 6-7 residues of pyridoxal-5-phosphate were stable on heating up to 80 degrees C and did not form aggregates. Under these conditions the initial serum albumin completely aggregated. Preincubation of the aggregated albumin with glucose at 37 degrees C resulted in protein "renaturation" to the monomeric form with a small number of dimers and trimers.
