概要

Proteins are known to be stabilized by naturally occurring osmolytes such as amino acids, sugars, and methylamines. Here, we examine the effect of trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) on the conformational stability of ribonuclease HII from a hyperthermophile, Thermococcus kodakaraensis (Tk-RNase HII), which inherently possesses high conformational stability. Heat- and guanidine hydrochloride-induced unfolding experiments demonstrated that the conformational stability of Tk-RNase HII in the presence of 0.5M TMAO was higher than that in the absence of TMAO at all examined temperatures. TMAO affected the unfolding and refolding kinetics of Tk-RNase HII to a similar extent. These results indicate that proteins are universally stabilized by osmolytes, regardless of their robustness, and suggest a stabilization mechanism by osmolytes, caused by the unfavorable interaction of osmolytes with protein backbones in the denatured state. Our results also imply that the basic protein folding principle is not dependent on protein stability and evolution.
