Crystal structure of MHC class II-associated p41 Ii fragment bound to cathepsin L reveals the structural basis for differentiation between cathepsins L and S. (1/21611)

The lysosomal cysteine proteases cathepsins S and L play crucial roles in the degradation of the invariant chain during maturation of MHC class II molecules and antigen processing. The p41 form of the invariant chain includes a fragment which specifically inhibits cathepsin L but not S. The crystal structure of the p41 fragment, a homologue of the thyroglobulin type-1 domains, has been determined at 2.0 A resolution in complex with cathepsin L. The structure of the p41 fragment demonstrates a novel fold, consisting of two subdomains, each stabilized by disulfide bridges. The first subdomain is an alpha-helix-beta-strand arrangement, whereas the second subdomain has a predominantly beta-strand arrangement. The wedge shape and three-loop arrangement of the p41 fragment bound to the active site cleft of cathepsin L are reminiscent of the inhibitory edge of cystatins, thus demonstrating the first example of convergent evolution observed in cysteine protease inhibitors. However, the different fold of the p41 fragment results in additional contacts with the top of the R-domain of the enzymes, which defines the specificity-determining S2 and S1' substrate-binding sites. This enables inhibitors based on the thyroglobulin type-1 domain fold, in contrast to the rather non-selective cystatins, to exhibit specificity for their target enzymes.  (+info)

Structural basis of profactor D activation: from a highly flexible zymogen to a novel self-inhibited serine protease, complement factor D. (2/21611)

The crystal structure of profactor D, determined at 2.1 A resolution with an Rfree and an R-factor of 25.1 and 20.4%, respectively, displays highly flexible or disordered conformation for five regions: N-22, 71-76, 143-152, 187-193 and 215-223. A comparison with the structure of its mature serine protease, complement factor D, revealed major conformational changes in the similar regions. Comparisons with the zymogen-active enzyme pairs of chymotrypsinogen, trypsinogen and prethrombin-2 showed a similar distribution of the flexible regions. However, profactor D is the most flexible of the four, and its mature enzyme displays inactive, self-inhibited active site conformation. Examination of the surface properties of the N-terminus-binding pocket indicates that Ile16 may play the initial positioning role for the N-terminus, and Leu17 probably also helps in inducing the required conformational changes. This process, perhaps shared by most chymotrypsinogen-like zymogens, is followed by a factor D-unique step, the re-orientation of an external Arg218 to an internal position for salt-bridging with Asp189, leading to the generation of the self-inhibited factor D.  (+info)

Cryo-electron microscopy structure of an SH3 amyloid fibril and model of the molecular packing. (3/21611)

Amyloid fibrils are assemblies of misfolded proteins and are associated with pathological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and the spongiform encephalopathies. In the amyloid diseases, a diverse group of normally soluble proteins self-assemble to form insoluble fibrils. X-ray fibre diffraction studies have shown that the protofilament cores of fibrils formed from the various proteins all contain a cross-beta-scaffold, with beta-strands perpendicular and beta-sheets parallel to the fibre axis. We have determined the threedimensional structure of an amyloid fibril, formed by the SH3 domain of phosphatidylinositol-3'-kinase, using cryo-electron microscopy and image processing at 25 A resolution. The structure is a double helix of two protofilament pairs wound around a hollow core, with a helical crossover repeat of approximately 600 A and an axial subunit repeat of approximately 27 A. The native SH3 domain is too compact to fit into the fibril density, and must unfold to adopt a longer, thinner shape in the amyloid form. The 20x40-A protofilaments can only accommodate one pair of flat beta-sheets stacked against each other, with very little inter-strand twist. We propose a model for the polypeptide packing as a basis for understanding the structure of amyloid fibrils in general.  (+info)

RNA binding by the novel helical domain of the influenza virus NS1 protein requires its dimer structure and a small number of specific basic amino acids. (4/21611)

The RNA-binding/dimerization domain of the NS1 protein of influenza A virus (73 amino acids in length) exhibits a novel dimeric six-helical fold. It is not known how this domain binds to its specific RNA targets, one of which is double-stranded RNA. To elucidate the mode of RNA binding, we introduced single alanine replacements into the NS1 RNA-binding domain at specific positions in the three-dimensional structure. Our results indicate that the dimer structure is essential for RNA binding, because any alanine replacement that causes disruption of the dimer also leads to the loss of RNA-binding activity. Surprisingly, the arginine side chain at position 38, which is in the second helix of each monomer, is the only amino-acid side chain that is absolutely required only for RNA binding and not for dimerization, indicating that this side chain probably interacts directly with the RNA target. This interaction is primarily electrostatic, because replacement of this arginine with lysine had no effect on RNA binding. A second basic amino acid, the lysine at position 41, which is also in helix 2, makes a strong contribution to the affinity of binding. We conclude that helix 2 and helix 2', which are antiparallel and next to each other in the dimer conformation, constitute the interaction face between the NS1 RNA-binding domain and its RNA targets, and that the arginine side chain at position 38 and possibly the lysine side chain at position 41 in each of these antiparallel helices contact the phosphate backbone of the RNA target.  (+info)

Molecular dynamics studies of U1A-RNA complexes. (5/21611)

The U1A protein binds to a hairpin RNA and an internal-loop RNA with picomolar affinities. To probe the molecular basis of U1A binding, we performed state-of-the-art nanosecond molecular dynamics simulations on both complexes. The good agreement with experimental structures supports the protocols used in the simulations. We compare the dynamics, hydrogen-bonding occupancies, and interfacial flexibility of both complexes and also describe a rigid-body motion in the U1A-internal loop complex that is not observed in the U1A-hairpin simulation. We relate these observations to experimental mutational studies and highlight their significance in U1A binding affinity and specificity.  (+info)

Three-dimensional structure of a recombinant gap junction membrane channel. (6/21611)

Gap junction membrane channels mediate electrical and metabolic coupling between adjacent cells. The structure of a recombinant cardiac gap junction channel was determined by electron crystallography at resolutions of 7.5 angstroms in the membrane plane and 21 angstroms in the vertical direction. The dodecameric channel was formed by the end-to-end docking of two hexamers, each of which displayed 24 rods of density in the membrane interior, which is consistent with an alpha-helical conformation for the four transmembrane domains of each connexin subunit. The transmembrane alpha-helical rods contrasted with the double-layered appearance of the extracellular domains. Although not indicative for a particular type of secondary structure, the protein density that formed the extracellular vestibule provided a tight seal to exclude the exchange of substances with the extracellular milieu.  (+info)

Melatonin biosynthesis: the structure of serotonin N-acetyltransferase at 2.5 A resolution suggests a catalytic mechanism. (7/21611)

Conversion of serotonin to N-acetylserotonin, the precursor of the circadian neurohormone melatonin, is catalyzed by serotonin N-acetyltransferase (AANAT) in a reaction requiring acetyl coenzyme A (AcCoA). AANAT is a globular protein consisting of an eight-stranded beta sheet flanked by five alpha helices; a conserved motif in the center of the beta sheet forms the cofactor binding site. Three polypeptide loops converge above the AcCoA binding site, creating a hydrophobic funnel leading toward the cofactor and serotonin binding sites in the protein interior. Two conserved histidines not found in other NATs are located at the bottom of the funnel in the active site, suggesting a catalytic mechanism for acetylation involving imidazole groups acting as general acid/base catalysts.  (+info)

Crystal structure of the cytoplasmic domain of the type I TGF beta receptor in complex with FKBP12. (8/21611)

Activation of the type I TGFbeta receptor (TbetaR-I) requires phosphorylation of a regulatory segment known as the GS region, located upstream of the serine/threonine kinase domain in the cytoplasmic portion of the receptor. The crystal structure of a fragment of unphosphorylated TbetaR-I, containing both the GS region and the catalytic domain, has been determined in complex with the FK506-binding protein FKBP12. TbetaR-I adopts an inactive conformation that is maintained by the unphosphorylated GS region. FKBP12 binds to the GS region of the receptor, capping the TbetaR-II phosphorylation sites and further stabilizing the inactive conformation of TbetaR-I. Certain structural features at the catalytic center of TbetaR-I are characteristic of tyrosine kinases rather than Ser/Thr kinases.  (+info)

Secondary structure prediction is a set of techniques in bioinformatics that aim to predict the local secondary structures of proteins based only on knowledge of their amino acid sequence. The secondary structure of proteins is determined by the pattern of hydrogen bonding. A large number of servers and tools are used to predict the secondary structure analysis.. Protein secondary structure refers to the local conformation proteins polypeptide backbone. There are two regular secondary structure states, α-helix (H) and β-strand (E), and one irregular secondary structure type, the coil region (C). Sander developed a secondary structure assignment method Dictionary of Secondary Structure of Proteins (DSSP)3, which automatically assigns secondary structure into eight states (H, E, B, T, S, L, G, and I) according to hydrogen-bonding patterns. These eight states are often further simplified into three states of helix, sheet and coil. The most widely used convention is that helix is designated as G, ...
Earlier chapters introduced alpha-helices and beta-sheets ( Secondary Structure), and some common motifs composed of 2 or 3 of these elements (Supersecondary Structure). Tertiary structure describes the folding of the polypeptide chain to orientate the different secondary structure elements in a particular arrangement. The previous chapter offered a description of certain types of domains, such as globular, membrane-spanning, and fibrous. As helices and sheets are units of secondary structure, so the domain is the unit of tertiary structure. In multi-domain proteins, tertiary structure includes the arrangement of domains relative to each other as well as that of the chain within each domain. There is a blurred distinction between supersecondary structure and tertiary structure. The introduction of the term supersecondary structure was necessary when it became clear that certain arrangements of two or three secondary structures are present in many different protein structures, even with ...

A powerful tool used to monitor secondary structure is circular dichroism (CD), which is the differential absorbance of left and right circularly polarized light. Since proteins consist of chiral amino acids, they are CD active and exhibit distinct CD spectra that are sensitive to the proteins secondary structure. This spectra can provide a qualitative snapshot of the protein structure or the secondary structure composition of a protein can be estimated from the far UV CD spectrum using a number of algorithms, several of which are made available in Olis GlobalWorks software.. Protein secondary structure can also be used to monitor protein folding and unfolding. An equilibrium study consists of collection of CD spectra as a function of increasing temperature or chemical denaturant. As the protein unfolds, the CD spectrum reflects this. Fitting data at a single wavelength or the full spectral scans during this denaturation process provides thermodynamic information such as the melting temperature ...

Diatoms and sponges use proteins, long chain polyamines, and other biomolecules to assemble silica structures of controlled morphology. Investigated here are biosilicification peptides. Under mild conditions, these peptides produce silica nanoparticles from solutions of silicic acid, whereas harsh methods are currently employed to produce these nanoparticles commercially. Biomimetic precipitation studies have shown that LKα14 (Ac-LKKLLKLLKKLLKL- C), an amphiphilic lysine/leucine repeat peptide with an α-helical secondary structure at polar/apolar interfaces, co-precipitates with silica to form nanospheres. Previous work con- firmed the α-helical secondary structure in both the neat and silica-complexed states of the peptide and suggested that the tetrameric bundles of peptide that are known to form in solution persisted in the silica-complexed form. To further investigate the peptide aggregation, deuterium solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (2H ssNMR) was used to establish how the ...

Designed peptides that fold autonomously to specific conformations in aqueous solution are useful for elucidating protein secondary structural preferences. For example, autonomously folding model systems have been essential for establishing the relationship between alpha-helix length and alpha-helix stability, which would be impossible to probe with alpha-helices embedded in folded proteins. Here, we use designed peptides to examine the effect of strand length on antiparallel beta-sheet stability. alpha-Helices become more stable as they grow longer. Our data show that a two-stranded beta-sheet (beta-hairpin) becomes more stable when the strands are lengthened from five to seven residues, but that further strand lengthening to nine residues does not lead to further beta-hairpin stabilization for several extension sequences examined. (In one case, all-threonine extension, there may be an additional stabilization on strand lengthening from seven to nine residues.) These results suggest that there may be

Motivation: Transmembrane beta-barrels exist in the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria as well as in chloroplast and mitochondria. They are often involved in transport processes and are promising antimicrobial drug targets. Structures of only a few beta-barrel protein families are known. Therefore, a method that could automatically generate such models would be valuable. The symmetrical arrangement of the barrels suggests that an approach based on idealized geometries may be successful. Results: Here, we present tobmodel; a method for generating 3D models of beta-barrel transmembrane proteins. First, alternative topologies are obtained from the BOCTOPUS topology predictor. Thereafter, several 3D models are constructed by using different angles of the beta-sheets. Finally, the best model is selected based on agreement with a novel predictor, ZPRED3, which predicts the distance from the center of the membrane for each residue, i.e. the Z-coordinate. The Z-coordinate prediction has an average ...
The DSSP program works by calculating the most likely secondary structure assignment given the 3D structure of a protein. It does this by reading the position of the atoms in a protein (the ATOM records in a PDB file) followed by calculation of the H-bond energy between all atoms. The best two H-bonds for each atom are then used to determine the most likely class of secondary structure for each residue in the protein.. This means you do need to have a full and valid 3D structure for a protein to be able to calculate the secondary structure. Theres no magic in DSSP, so e.g. it cannot guess the secondary structure for a mutated protein for which you dont have the 3D structure ...
Many proteins are organized into several units. A structural domain is an element of the proteins overall structure that is self-stabilizing and often folds independently of the rest of the protein chain. Many domains are not unique to the protein products of one gene or one gene family but instead appear in a variety of proteins. Domains often are named and singled out because they figure prominently in the biological function of the protein they belong to; for example, the calcium-binding domain of calmodulin. Because they are self-stabilizing, domains can be swapped by genetic engineering between one protein and another to make chimeras. A motif in this sense refers to a small specific combination of secondary structural elements (such as helix-turn-helix). These elements are often called supersecondary structures. Fold refers to a global type of arrangement, like helix-bundle or beta-barrel. Structure motifs usually consist of just a few elements, e.g. the helix-turn-helix has just ...

This study demonstrates the feasibility of creating structurally complex and catalytically active enzymes by assembling randomized modules that are constructed from a limited set of building blocks and biased toward helical secondary structure by binary patterning. The binary distribution of hydrophilic/hydrophobic residues is inherent in the genetic code (NAN/NTN), and our results support suggestions (9, 26, 27) that modern enzymes could have evolved from primitive precursors constructed from a relatively small number of polar and nonpolar amino acids. There is, nevertheless, a low probability of finding catalysts, even when both position and identity of all critical active site residues are determined in advance. This finding contrasts with the ease of obtaining folded helical proteins through binary patterning (9), underscoring the exacting demands that catalysis places on protein design.. Extrapolating from our data and from modest sequence constraints on interhelical turns (23, 28-30), we ...

Two hypotheses have been proposed for the role of turns in protein folding. In one view, turns play a critical role in folding by bringing together and fostering interactions between regular secondary structure elements. This view is supported by mutagenesis studies indicating a critical role for particular residues in the turns of some proteins. Also, nonnative isomers of X-Pro peptide bonds in turns can completely block the conformational folding of some proteins. In the opposing view, turns play a passive role in folding. This view is supported by the poor amino-acid conservation observed in most turns. Also, non-native isomers of many X-Pro peptide bonds in turns have little or no effect on folding. ...

The amino-terminal extremity of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 transmembrane protein (gp41) is thought to play a pivotal role in the fusion of virus membranes with the plasma membrane of the target cell and in syncytium formation. Peptides with sequences taken from the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 gp41 fusogenic (synthetic peptides SPwt and SP-2) and nonfusogenic (SP-3 and SP-4) glycoproteins adopt mainly a beta-sheet conformation in the absence of lipid, as determined by attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and after interaction with large unilamellar liposomes, the beta-sheet is partly converted into an alpha-helical conformation. Peptides SPwt and SP-2 but not SP-3 or SP-4 were able to promote lipid mixing as assessed by fluorescence energy transfer assay and dye leakage in a vesicle leakage assay. By using polarized attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, SPwt and SP-2 were found to adopt an oblique orientation in ...
Protein secondary structure prediction is a fundamental and important component in the analytical study of protein structure and functions. The prediction technique has been developed for several decades. The Chou-Fasman algorithm, one of the earliest methods, has been successfully applied to the prediction. However, this method has its limitations due to low accuracy, unreliable parameters, and over prediction. Thanks to the recent development in protein folding type-specific structure propensities and wavelet transformation, the shortcomings in Chou-Fasman method are able to be overcome. We improved Chou-Fasman method in three aspects. (a) Replace the nucleation regions with extreme values of coefficients calculated by the continuous wavelet transform. (b) Substitute the original secondary structure conformational parameters with folding type-specific secondary structure propensities. (c) Modify Chou-Fasman rules. The CB396 data set was tested by using improved Chou-Fasman method and three indices: Q3

Peptides corresponding to lipid binding domains of Apo B-100 were synthesized, purified, and incubated with dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) liposomes. The secondary structure of the apo B-100 peptide-lipid complexes was evaluated by attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). Those peptides belonging to the hydrophobic core domain of apo B-100 when associated with phospholipids were rich in beta sheet structure; a predominant alpha helical conformation was shown to be associated with one peptide located in a surface region of apo B-100. IR dichroic spectra revealed, in the case of the core peptides, that the beta sheet component is the only oriented structure with respect to the ...

LmrP is an electrogenic H(+)/drug antiporter that extrudes a broad spectrum of antibiotics. Five carboxylic residues are implicated in drug binding (Asp142 and Glu327) and proton motive force-mediated restructuring (Asp68, Asp128 and Asp235). ATR-FTIR (Attenuated Total Reflection - Fourier Transform Infrared) and tryptophan quenching experiments revealed that phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) is required to generate the structural intermediates induced by ionization of carboxylic residues. Surprisingly, no ionization-induced conformational changes were detectable in the absence of PE, suggesting either that carboxylic acid residues do not ionize or that ionization does not lead to any conformational change. The mean pKa of carboxylic residues evaluated by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy was 6.5 for LmrP reconstituted in PE liposomes, whereas the pKa calculated in the absence of PE was 4.6. Considering that 16 of the 19 carboxylic residues are located in the extramembrane loops, the pKa values obtained in the ...

Sequential assignments and elements of regular secondary structure were deduced by analysis of nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (NOESY) experiments and 3J(HNα) coupling constants. One 7.2-kDa monomer of the homodimer consists of two antiparallel helices connected by a hairpin loop at residue 31. The C-terminal peptide consisting of amino acids 59-63 shows no stable conformation. The dimer forms a four-helix bundle with opposite polarization of neighboring elements in agreement with the X-ray structure.. AB - ...

AU - Nunberg, Jack H.. AU - Lu, Min. PY - 2002/6/11. Y1 - 2002/6/11. N2 - The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope glycoprotein complex (gp120-gp41) promotes viral entry by mediating the fusion of viral and cellular membranes. Formation of a stable trimer-of-hairpins structure in the gp41 ectodomain brings the two membranes into proximity, leading to membrane fusion. The core of this hairpin structure is a six-helix bundle in which three carboxyl-terminal outer helices pack against an inner trimeric coiled coil. Here we investigate the role of these conserved interhelical interactions on the structure and function of both the envelope glycoprotein and the gp41 core. We have replaced each of the eight amino acids at the buried face of the carboxyl-terminal helix with a representative ...

Transmembrane helix-helix interactions may have at least two major functions: 1) intramolecular helix-helix interactions would serve to stabilize the tertiary structure of the protein in the membrane bilayer, and 2) helix-helix interactions between two or more integral membrane proteins appear to regulate ligand-initiated response systems. X-Ray crystallography of the α1-subunit of Na/K-ATPase (Figure 6) indicates that 5 of the 10 helices (M4, M5, M6, M7 and M8) lie largely within the core of the α1-subunit, whereas the remaining 5 helices (M1, M2, M3 M9 and M10)) are on the periphery. Computer-generated projections of each helix (Figure 7) indicate that helices within the core are disordered whereas peripheral helices are largely ordered. This suggests that the disordered helices contribute to and/or maintain the tertiary structure of the α1-subunit, whereas the peripheral ordered helices are available for interaction with ordered helices of neighboring integral membrane proteins.. In our ...
The model six-residue linear peptide AAGDYY-NH2 from TEM-1 beta -lactamase inhibitor protein and BLIP was predicted to adopt a beta -turn conformation and synthesized in order to elucidate the mechanism of beta -turn formation and stability. Its structural preferences in solution were comprehensively characterized using CD (circular dichroism), FT-IR and H-1-NMR spectroscopy. The set of observed short- and medium-range NOEs, the restrained molecular dynamics simulation, CD and FT-IR spectroscopy were consistent with the formation of beta -turn in solution by the model peptide. The results implicate beta -turn playing an important role in the process of protein folding. ...
To maintain genome integrity, segmented double-stranded RNA viruses of the Reoviridae family must accurately select and package a complete set of up to a dozen distinct genomic RNAs. It is thought that the high fidelity segmented genome assembly involves multiple sequence-specific RNA-RNA interactions between single-stranded RNA segment precursors. These are mediated by virus-encoded non-structural proteins with RNA chaperone-like activities, such as rotavirus (RV) NSP2 and avian reovirus sigma NS. Here, we compared the abilities of NSP2 and sigma NS to mediate sequence-specific interactions between RV genomic segment precursors. Despite their similar activities, NSP2 successfully promotes inter-segment association, while sigma NS fails to do so. To understand the mechanisms underlying such selectivity in promoting inter-molecular duplex formation, we compared RNA-binding and helix-unwinding activities of both proteins. We demonstrate that octameric NSP2 binds structured RNAs with high affinity, ...

The great majority of helical membrane proteins are inserted co-translationally into the ER membrane through a continuous ribosome-translocon channel. The efficiency of membrane insertion depends on transmembrane (TM) helix amino acid composition, the helix length and the position of the amino acids within the helix. In this work, we conducted a computational analysis of the composition and location of amino acids in transmembrane helices found in membrane proteins of known structure to obtain an extensive set of designed polypeptide segments with naturally occurring amino acid distributions. Then, using an in vitro translation system in the presence of biological membranes, we experimentally validated our predictions by analyzing its membrane integration capacity. Coupled with known strategies to control membrane protein topology, these findings may pave the way to de novo membrane protein design. PubMed: 26987712. Doi: 10.1038/srep23397.. ...

For the current problem we define a neural network with one input layer, one hidden layer and one output layer. The input layer encodes a sliding window in each input amino acid sequence, and a prediction is made on the structural state of the central residue in the window. We choose a window of size 17 based on the statistical correlation found between the secondary structure of a given residue position and the eight residues on either side of the prediction point [2]. Each window position is encoded using a binary array of size 20, having one element for each amino acid type. In each group of 20 inputs, the element corresponding to the amino acid type in the given position is set to 1, while all other inputs are set to 0. Thus, the input layer consists of R = 17x20 input units, i.e. 17 groups of 20 inputs each.. In the following code, we first determine for each protein sequence all the possible subsequences corresponding to a sliding window of size W by creating a Hankel matrix, where the ith ...
An alpha helix (α-helix) is a twisted part of a protein. It is one of the two most common parts of the secondary structure, or shape, of a protein. The other is the beta sheet. An alpha helix is created by alternating groups of atoms. There is a carbonyl group, created by a carbon atom double bonded to an oxygen atom, and an amine group, created by a nitrogen atom bonded to a hydrogen atom. Each section containing one of each of these groups is called a residue, a general term for a small part of a molecule. Each amine group forms a hydrogen bond with the carbonyl group four residues earlier. A prion is a protein that causes disease by changing the shape of another protein. It does this by changing some of the alpha helices, which are more common in normal cells, to beta sheets, which are more common in prions. The alpha helix consists of 3.6 residues per turn. All hydrogen bonds face in the same direction. If two or more alpha helices come together, they become a tertiary structure. (Ex. Five ...

Autotransporter of N-terminal protease passenger domain that cleaves surface-localized virulence factors. The 3-d structure is known (Oomen et al., 2004). The crystal structure of the NalP translocator domain revealed a 12 β-stranded transmembrane beta-barrel containing a central alpha-helix. The transmembrane beta-barrel is stable even in the absence of the alpha-helix. Removal of the helix results in an influx of water into the pore region, suggesting the helix acts as a plug (Khalid and Sansom 2006). The dimensions of the pore fluctuate, but the NalP monomer is sufficient for the transport of the passenger domain in an unfolded or extended conformation (Khalid and Sansom 2006). NalP is subject to phase variation (Oldfield et al. 2013). ...

The set of forces and sequence of events that govern the transition from an unfolded polypeptide chain to a functional protein with correct spatial structure remain incompletely known, despite the importance of the problem and decades of theory development, computer simulations, and laboratory experiments. Information about the correctly folded state of most proteins is likely to be present in their sequences, and yet many proteins fail to attain native structure after overexpression in a non-native environment or upon experimental denaturation and refolding. We hypothesize that correct protein folding in vivo is an active, energy-dependent process that most likely applies torque force co-translationally to all proteins and possibly also post-translationally to many proteins in every cell. When a site on an unfolded polypeptide is rotationally constrained, torsion applied at another site would induce twisting of the main chain, which would initiate the formation of a local secondary structure, such as

The mechanism of beta-sheet formation remains a fundamental issue in our understanding of the protein folding process, but is hampered by the often encountered kinetic competition between folding and aggregation. The role of local versus nonlocal interactions has been probed traditionally by mutagenesis of both turn and strand residues. Recently, rigid organic molecules that impose a correct chain reversal have been introduced in several small peptides to isolate the importance of the long-range interactions. Here, we present the incorporation of a well-studied beta-turn mimic, designated as the dibenzofuran-based (DBF) amino acid, in the B1 domain of streptococcal protein G (B1G), and compare our results with those obtained upon insertion of the same mimic into the N-terminal beta-hairpin of B1G (O Melnyk et al., 1998, Lett Pept Sci 5:147-150). The DBF-B1G domain conserves the structure and the functional and thermodynamical properties of the native protein, whereas the modified peptide does ...
A basic tenet of protein science is that all information about the spatial structure of proteins is present in their sequences. Nonetheless, many proteins fail to attain native structure upon experimental denaturation and refolding in vitro, raising the question of the specific role of cellular machinery in protein folding in vivo. Recently, we hypothesized that energy-dependent twisting of the protein backbone is an unappreciated essential factor guiding the protein folding process in vivo. Torque force may be applied by the ribosome co-translationally, and when accompanied by simultaneous restriction of the rotational mobility of the distal part of the growing chain, the resulting tension in the protein backbone would facilitate the formation of local secondary structure and direct the folding process. Our model of the early stages of protein folding in vivo postulates that the free motion of both terminal regions of the protein during its synthesis and maturation is restricted. The long-known but

These three amino acids perform a proton relay reaction to transfer electrons between substrate and cofactor. 3α-HSD is capable of running the reaction both ways, either oxidizing or reducing the substrate and cofactor depending on the state of the testosterone. Tyr55 acts as acid, and donates a proton to the steroid--,Tyr55 forms a hydrogen bond to Lys84 for stabilization--,Lys84 forms a salt link to Asp50 for further stability. In Dr. Bantas protein, this reaction must only be run so that the sugar will be oxidized and the cofactor, reduced. The transfer of electrons from cofactor to circuit is already fairly efficient, but the key to an efficient reaction is in transferring the electron from substrate to cofactor. This is where the catalytic triad is extremely important. Dark Grey highlights the beta barrel and helix structure. The barrel consists of eight parallel beta strands and eight anti-parallel alpha helices. The bottom is sealed by two antiparallel beta strands (6-10 and 13-18). ...
