蛋白质L的折叠及其在变性态系综中的坍缩

Folding of Protein L with implications for collapse in the denatured state ensemble

Hiranmay Maity, Govardhan Reddy

摘要:

蛋白质折叠中的一个基本问题是卷曲到球塌缩的转变是发生在折叠的初始阶段(爆发阶段)还是与蛋白质折叠转变同时发生。单分子荧光共振能量转移(FRET)和小角X射线散射(SAXS)实验不同意蛋白L折叠转变是否发生在折叠的爆发阶段。我们研究蛋白质L折叠使用粗粒度模型和分子动力学模拟。蛋白质L的折叠转变是伴随着蛋白质L的折叠转变而发生的。在折叠的爆发阶段,我们发现,FRET实验高估了回旋半径,$R_g$,由于高斯聚合物链的端到端分布的应用程序提取$R_g$从FRET效率的蛋白质。FRET实验估计$\approx$降低$\approx$ 6倍,当氯化胍变性剂从7.5 M稀释至1 M时,$\approx$的实际降低为$\approx$ 3倍,从而表明在爆发期蛋白质尺寸的明显压缩。的$\approx$ 3倍的减少是接近的$R_g$从SAXS实验,这表明没有压实测量数据的统计不确定性,导致与FRET实验的分歧。在蛋白质L折叠的过渡态系综(TSE)结构是球状的和广泛的与$Ψ$分析实验一致。结果支持的假设,单结构域蛋白质的TSE依赖于蛋白质的拓扑结构,并不稳定的局部相互作用。

英文摘要:

A fundamental question in protein folding is whether the coil to globule collapse transition occurs during the initial stages of folding (burst-phase) or simultaneously with the protein folding transition. Single molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments disagree on whether Protein L collapse transition occurs during the burst-phase of folding. We study Protein L folding using a coarse-grained model and molecular dynamics simulations. The collapse transition in Protein L is found to be concomitant with the folding transition. In the burst-phase of folding, we find that FRET experiments overestimate radius of gyration, $R_g$, of the protein due to the application of Gaussian polymer chain end-to-end distribution to extract $R_g$ from the FRET efficiency. FRET experiments estimate $\approx$ 6Å\ decrease in $R_g$ when the actual decrease is $\approx$ 3Å\ on Guanidinium Chloride denaturant dilution from 7.5M to 1M, and thereby suggesting pronounced compaction in the protein dimensions in the burst-phase. The $\approx$ 3Å\ decrease is close to the statistical uncertainties of the $R_g$ data measured from SAXS experiments, which suggest no compaction, leading to a disagreement with the FRET experiments. The transition state ensemble (TSE) structures in Protein L folding are globular and extensive in agreement with the $Ψ$-analysis experiments. The results support the hypothesis that the TSE of single domain proteins depend on protein topology, and are not stabilised by local interactions alone.
