拓扑孤子与折叠蛋白质

Topological Solitons and Folded Proteins

M. N. Chernodub, Shuangwei Hu, Antti J. Niemi

摘要:

我们建议蛋白质环可以被解释为拓扑畴壁孤子。它们在基态之间插入,这些基态是二级结构,如α-螺旋和β-链。然后,整个蛋白质可以简单地通过将孤子一个接一个地组装在一起来折叠。我们提出了一个简单的理论模型,实现了我们的建议,并将其应用到一些生物活性蛋白质,包括1VII,2 RB 8,3EBX(蛋白质数据库代码)。在我们已经考虑的所有例子中,我们能够构建再现二级结构基序的孤子,例如α-螺旋-环-α-螺旋和β-折叠-环-β-折叠,对于中心α-碳,整体均方根距离精度为约0.7埃或更小,即在当前实验精度的限制内。

英文摘要:

We propose that protein loops can be interpreted as topological domain-wall solitons. They interpolate between ground states that are the secondary structures like alpha-helices and beta-strands. Entire proteins can then be folded simply by assembling the solitons together, one after another. We present a simple theoretical model that realizes our proposal and apply it to a number of biologically active proteins including 1VII, 2RB8, 3EBX (Protein Data Bank codes). In all the examples that we have considered we are able to construct solitons that reproduce secondary structural motifs such as alpha-helix-loop-alpha-helix and beta-sheet-loop-beta-sheet with an overall root-mean-square-distance accuracy of around 0.7 Angstrom or less for the central alpha-carbons, i.e. within the limits of current experimental accuracy.
