The effect of dextran sulfate on protein aggregation was investigated to provide the clues of its biochemical mechanism. The interaction between dextran sulfate and BSA varied with the pH values of the solution, which led to the different extent of aggregation prevention by dextran sulfate. Light scattering data with thermal scan showed that dextran sulfate suppressed BSA aggregation at pH 5.1 and pH 6.2, while it had no effect at pH 7.5. Isothermal titration calorimetric analysis suggested that the pH dependency of the role of dextran sulfate on BSA aggregation would be related to the difference in the mode of BSA-dextran sulfate complex formation. Isothermal titration calorimetric analysis at pH 6.2 indicated that dextran sulfate did not bind to native BSA at this pH, but interacted with partially unfolded BSA. While stabilizing native form of protein by the complex formation has been suggested as the suitable mechanism of preventing aggregation, our observation of conformational changes by circular dichroism spectroscopy showed that strong electrostatic interaction between dextran sulfate and BSA rather facilitated the denaturation of BSA. Combining the data from isothermal titration calorimetry, circular dichroism, and dynamic light scattering, we found that the complex formation of the intermediate state of denatured BSA with dextran sulfate is a prerequisite to suppress the aggregation by preventing further oligornerization/aggregation process of denatured protein.
