摘要
Human tear lipocalin (TL) is an unusual member of the lipocalin protein family, since it is known to bind a large variety of lipophilic ligands in vivo and acts as a cysteine proteinase inhibitor in vitro, It is suggested to function as a physiological protection factor by scavenging lipophilic potentially harmful compounds. Since protein-protein interaction or macromolecular complexation is a common feature of many lipocalins, we applied phage display technology to identify TL interacting proteins, By panning of a human prostate cDNA phagemid library against purified TL me isolated a thioredoxin (Trx) encoding phage clone, Biochemical analysis revealed that TL indeed interacts with Trx and is reduced by this redox protein. Reduction of the TL-specific disulfide bond is of functional relevance, since the reduced protein shows a nine-fold increase in ligand affinity when tested with retinoic acid as ligand, (C) 1999 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
