Title:
METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE CHAPERONE ACTIVITY OF PEROXIREDOXINS USING IRRADIATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/057508
Kind Code:
A2
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for increasing chaperone activity by irradiating peroxiredoxin (Prx) proteins. More particularly, the present invention may be useful for preparing recombinant proteins imparting resistance against various environmental stresses by increasing the chaperone activity of peroxiredoxin, since it has been observed that irradiated peroxiredoxin has enhanced chaperone activity characteristics, wherein an α-helix structure decreases while a β-sheet structure increases, from analysis results of a protein structure change and chaperone activity after irradiating two types of peroxiredoxins (2-Cys, 3-Cys) which are two active cysteine motifs of peroxiredoxin.
