Iodination of insulin in aqueous and organic solvents

Abstract: 1. The iodination of insulin was studied under various experimental conditions in aqueous media and in some organic solvents, by measuring separately the uptake of iodine by the four tyrosyl groups and the relative amounts of monoiodotyrosine and di-iodotyrosine that are formed. In aqueous media from pH1 to pH9 the iodination occurs predominantly on the tyrosyl groups of the A chain. Some organic solvents increase the iodine uptake of the B-chain tyrosyl groups. Their efficacy in promoting iodination of Tyr-B-… Show more

“…These results contrast with those published by other workers: de Zoeten & de Bruin (1961) and Massaglia et al (1969) concluded that when insulin is iodinated in aqueous solution most of the iodine is substituted into the A-chain residues and that the reactivities ofthe two B-chain residues are similar and low. This difference from our results can be accounted for by the different analytical technique used by these earlier workers, who relied on electrophoretic separation at pH 3.2 of S-sulphonated A and B chains iodinated with radioactive iodine and the measurement of radioactivity in these chains.…”

“…We have no evidence to allow us to decide whether A14 or A19 is the critical tyrosine residue in the A chain. However, Massaglia et al (1969) have attributed loss of insulin activity to iodination of residue A19. Also, Blundell et al (1971) point out that residue A19 is tyrosine in all insulin species of known sequence and that it lies amongst an invariant group on the surface of the insulin molecule that could be specifically involved in insulin activity.…”

“…The position of iodine incorporation into the tyrosine and histidine residues of insulin is not defined in most iodination methods. Variations in conditions may alter the susceptibilities of particular residues for substitution [3][4][5], however the A14 and/or A19 tyrosines are predominantly iodinated. A19 is an invariant residue in the insulin sequence [6] and is thought to be in an area important in maintaining the structural integrity necessary for insulin action.…”
