Phase behavior of lysozyme solutions in the liquid–liquid phase coexistence region at high hydrostatic pressures

Abstract: We present results from small-angle X-ray scattering and turbidity measurements on the effect of high hydrostatic pressure on the phase behavior of dense lysozyme solutions in the liquid-liquid phase separation region, and characterize the underlying intermolecular protein-protein interactions as a function of temperature and pressure under charge-screening conditions (0.5 M NaCl). A reentrant liquid-liquid phase separation region is observed at elevated pressures, which may originate in the pressure dependenc… Show more

“…[25,47,48] The data presented below were obtainedu sing FTIR and CD spectroscopy,t urbidity measurements, and phase-contrast light and fluorescencem icroscopy in conjunction with variousd evices for high-pressure measurements to study the structurea nd phase properties of the proteins over aw ide range of temperatures, pressures and osmolyte concentrations (see refs. [42,44,[76][77][78] for experimental details). Using lysozyme, g-crystallin, a-elastin, and an N-terminal IDR of Ddx4 as examples, representative resultsf or different kinds of protein systemsa re highlighted and general conceptual frameworks for rationalizing the observed T-, p-, and osmolyte-dependence of protein LLPS are explored.…”

“…Upon pressurization at 18 8C, at 40 and 250 bar,r espectively,t he sample is observed to cross the phase boundary out of the LLPS regioni nto ah omogenous one-phase region and then enters ah igh-pressureL LPS region (HP-LLPS) again at ah igher pressure. [42,77] In other words, the system exhibits ap ressure-induced re-entrant phase transition (RPT). From the combined temperature andp ressure dependent data, a p-T phase diagram was constructed for the LLPS of lysozyme [77] (Figure3b).…”
