[Thermal stability of lactate dehydrogenase in the complex with the anion polyelectrolyte poly(styrene sulfonate)].
The temperature stability of the cytoplasmic enzyme of the glycolysis of lactate dehydrogenase from a pig muscle (isoenzyme M4) in a complex with the anion polyelectrolyte poly(styrenesulfonate) has been investigated by the methods of adiabatic differential scanning microcalorimetry, the own protein fluorescence, and circular dichroism. Calorimetric investigations of complex of lactate dehydrogenase with poly(styrenesulphonate) in 50 mM phosphate buffer at pH 7.0 have shown that the temperature of the transition and enthalpy of lactate dehydrogenase thermal denaturation sharply decreases with growing weight ratio poly(styrenesulphonate)/lactate dehydrogenase, though at 20 degrees C the enzyme activity of lactate dehydrogenase remains unchanged for several hours irrespective of the addition of poly(styrenesulphonate). The addition of phosphate ions to the solution enhances the resistance of lactate dehydrogenase to both thermal denaturation and inactivation by polyelectrolyte. The data obtained are interpreted from the viewpoint of a special role of two anion-binding centers in intersubunits contacts of lactate dehydrogenase, which enhance its resistance to both thermal denaturation and destruction by polyelectrolyte.
