螺旋-转角-螺旋模型蛋白的折叠途径

Folding pathways of a helix-turn-helix model protein

D. Hoffmann, E. W. Knapp

摘要:

一个小的模型多肽原子的细节表示折叠使用蒙特卡罗动力学。该多肽被设计成具有与螺旋-转角-螺旋蛋白ROP的中心部分相似的天然构象。从蛋白质谷氨酰胺合成酶的β-链构象或两种不同的环构象开始,使用二面角空间中的所谓的窗口移动生成六个轨迹。这一举动改变构象局部,并导致现实的,准连续不断地演变的轨迹。六个轨迹中的四个以稳定的天然样构象结束。它们的折叠途径显示了螺旋-弯曲-螺旋基序的快速初始发展,随后是由Karplus和Weaver的扩散碰撞模型预测的动态行为。的途径的现象是与实验结果一致。

英文摘要:

A small model polypeptide represented in atomic detail is folded using Monte Carlo dynamics. The polypeptide is designed to have a native conformation similar to the central part of the helix-turn-helix protein ROP. Starting from a beta-strand conformation or two different loop conformations of the protein glutamine synthetase, six trajectories are generated using the so-called window move in dihedral angle space. This move changes conformations locally and leads to realistic, quasi-continuously evolving trajectories. Four of the six trajectories end in stable native-like conformations. Their folding pathways show a fast initial development of a helix-bend-helix motif, followed by a dynamic behaviour predicted by the diffusion-collision model of Karplus and Weaver. The phenomenology of the pathways is consistent with experimental results.
