We report the cloning of a neutral isoelectric form of the human peptidyl prolyl isomerase, cyclophilin, its expression in Escherichia coli, and its purification and comparison to bovine thymus cyclophilin. The cloned protein exhibited a pI of approximately 7.8 and formed a simple 1:1 complex with cyclosporin A. This cloned form had a pI similar to that observed for the neutral isoform (pI approximately 7.4) of human splenocyte cyclophilin. The bovine thymus proteins exhibited anomalous behavior on CM-cellulose chromatography but were resolved into alkaline (pI approximately 9.3) isoforms and a new neutral (pI approximately 7.8) isoform by isoelectric focusing gel electrophoresis and ultimately into at least four discrete isoforms by capillary electrophoresis. For cyclosporin A binding we observe a Kd of approximately 160 nM for an electrophoretically heterogeneous preparation of the natural bovine protein and approximately 360 nM for the more homogeneous preparation of the cloned human neutral isoform. Stopped-flow measurements of the activation energies for peptidyl- prolyl isomerase activity indicate the recombinant human protein has an activation enthalpy of 3.67 kcal/mol and an activation entropy of -47.3 cal/K-mol for cis----trans isomerization.
