The effect of protein and chemical chaperones and crowders on thermal stability and aggregation of apoform of rabbit muscle glycogen phosphorylase b (apoPhb) has been studied at 37°C. Proline suppressed heat-induced loss in ability of apoPhb to reconstitution at 37°C, whereas α-crystallin did not reveal a protective action. To compare the antiaggregation activity of intact and crosslinked α-crystallins, an adsorption capacity (AC) of a protein chaperone with respect to a target protein was estimated.

It was shown that the rate of reconstruction of muscle glycogen phosphorylase b (Phb) from apoenzyme and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate decreased under crowding conditions. The effect of crowding was counteracted by chaperones (α-crystallin and proline). Sedimentation analysis shows that crowding stimulates the formation of high-molecular-weight associates at 25 °C, whereas chaperones stabilize small oligomers.

The effect of crowding on the chaperone-like activity of α-crystallin has been studied using aggregation of UV-irradiated glycogen phosphorylase b (Phb) from rabbit skeletal muscle as an aggregation test system. The merit of this test system is the possibility of testing agents that directly affect the stage of aggregation of the protein molecules. It was shown that the solution of Phb denatured by UV contained aggregates with a hydrodynamic radius of 10.

The study of the kinetics of thermal aggregation of glycogen phosphorylase b (Phb) from rabbit skeletal muscles by dynamic light scattering at 48°C showed that 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) accelerated the aggregation process and induced the formation of the larger protein aggregates. The reason of the accelerating effect of HP-β-CD is destabilization of the protein molecule under action of HP-β-CD. This conclusion was supported by the data on differential scanning calorimetry and the kinetic data on thermal inactivation of Phb.

Interaction of the wild type (wt) heat shock protein Hsp27 and its three-dimensional (3D) mutant (mimicking phosphorylation at Ser15, 78, and 82) with rabbit skeletal muscle phosphorylase kinase (PhK) has been studied under crowding conditions modeled by addition of 1 M trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO). According to the data of sedimentation velocity and dynamic light scattering, crowding provokes the formation of large-sized associates of both PhK and Hsp27. Under crowding conditions, small associates of PhK and Hsp27 interact with each other thus leading to dissociation of large homooligomers of each protein.

The suppression of the thermal aggregation of glycogen phosphorylase b (Phb) from rabbit skeletal muscle by the chaperonin GroEL is studied using dynamic light scattering. It is shown that the decrease in the rate of Phb aggregation under the action of GroEL is due to the transition of the aggregation process from the kinetic regime, wherein the rate of aggregation is limited by diffusion of the interacting particles, to a regime where the sticking probability for the colliding particles becomes lower than one (reaction-limited cluster-cluster aggregation). The analytical-ultracentrifugation data show that elevated temperatures induce dissociation of the dimeric Phb.

It has been shown that the relatively low concentrations of proline (0.1 M) have a slight accelerating effect on thermal aggregation of glycogen phosphorylase b (Phb) from rabbit skeletal muscle registered by the accumulaton of the aggregated protein. The suppression of Phb aggregation at high proline concentrations is mainly due to the protective action of proline on the stage of unfolding of the Phb molecule.

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor is a ubiquitous multifunctional cytokine having diverse immunological and neuroendocrine properties. Although this protein is known to be released into the circulation from the secretory granules of anterior pituitary or directly from immune cells as a consequence of stress, its participation in heat stress-induced aggregation of proteins has not yet been reported. We provide here the first evidence that the macrophage migration inhibitory factor possesses chaperone-like properties.
