Description

Human serum albumin (HSA) is a protein carrier in blood transporting metabolites and drugs. Glycated HSA (GHSA) acts as a potential biomarker for diabetes. Thus, many attempts have been made to detect GHSA. Glycation was reported to damage the structure and ligand binding capability, where no molecular detail is available. Recently, the crystal structure of GHSA has been solved, where two glucose isomers (pyranose/ GLC and open-chain/GLO) are located at Sudlow’s site I. GLO was found to covalently bind to K_195, while GLC is trapped by noncontact interactions. GHSA exists in two forms (Schiff base (SCH) and Amadori (AMA) adducts), but how both disrupt albumin activity microscopically remains unknown. To this end, molecular dynamics simulations were performed here to explore the nature of SCH and AMA. Both forms are found to alter the main protein dynamics, resulting in (i) the widening of Sudlow’s site I entrance, (ii) the size reduction of nine fatty acid-binding pockets, (iii) the enlargement of Sudlow’s site I and the shrinking of Sudlow’s site II, (iv) the enhancement of C_34 reactivity, and (v) the change in the W_214 microenvironment. These unique characteristics found here can be useful for understanding the effect of glycation on the albumin function in more detail and designing specific and selective GHSA detection strategies.
