Helix-bundle membrane protein fold templates.
In the fold recognition approach to structure prediction, a sequence is tested for compatibility with an already known fold. For membrane proteins, however, few folds have been determined experimentally. Here the feasibility of computing the vast majority of likely membrane protein folds is tested. The results indicate that conformation space can be effectively sampled for small numbers of heli...
متن کاملActivation of microhelix charging by localized helix destabilization.
We report that aminoacylation of minimal RNA helical substrates is enhanced by mismatched or unpaired nucleotides at the first position in the helix. Previously, we demonstrated that the class I methionyl-tRNA synthetase aminoacylates RNA microhelices based on the acceptor stem of initiator and elongator tRNAs with greatly reduced efficiency relative to full-length tRNA substrates. The cocrysta...
متن کاملThe design of a four-helix bundle protein.
The design of proteins with predetermined structural properties is a necessary first step in the de novo design of novel enzymes and receptors. A major problem associated with the design of proteins is the high flexibility inherent in polypeptide chains. It has been estimated that a protein of 100 residues can adopt up to 101~176 different conformations, a number that is as large as the number ...
متن کاملRedesigning the hydrophobic core of a four-helix-bundle protein.
Rationally redesigned variants of the 4-helix-bundle protein Rop are described. The novel proteins have simplified, repacked, hydrophobic cores and yet reproduce the structure and native-like physical properties of the wild-type protein. The repacked proteins have been characterized thermodynamically and their equilibrium and kinetic thermal and chemical unfolding properties are compared with t...
متن کاملFolding thermodynamics of a model three-helix-bundle protein.
The calculated folding thermodynamics of a simple off-lattice three-helix-bundle protein model under equilibrium conditions shows the experimentally observed protein transitions: a collapse transition, a disordered-to-ordered globule transition, a globule to native-state transition, and the transition from the active native state to a frozen inactive state. The cooperativity and physical origin...
