Energy landscape of knotted protein folding.
Recent experiments have conclusively shown that proteins are able to fold from an unknotted, denatured polypeptide to the knotted, native state without the aid of chaperones. These experiments are consistent with a growing body of theoretical work showing that a funneled, minimally frustrated energy landscape is sufficient to fold small proteins with complex topologies. Here, we present a theor...
متن کاملAn Hsp70/Hsp90 Co-Chaperone That Functions Within and Beyond Hsp70/Hsp90 Protein Folding Pathways
Molecular chaperones and their co-chaperones are crucial for the facilitation of efficient protein folding, and prevention of denaturation and aggregation of nascent polypeptides. Hsp70/Hsp90 organizing protein (Hop), a co-chaperone of the two major molecular chaperones, heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) and heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), facilitates their interaction by acting as an adaptor betwee...
متن کاملPharmacological chaperone reshapes the energy landscape for folding and aggregation of the prion protein
The development of small-molecule pharmacological chaperones as therapeutics for protein misfolding diseases has proven challenging, partly because their mechanism of action remains unclear. Here we study Fe-TMPyP, a tetrapyrrole that binds to the prion protein PrP and inhibits misfolding, examining its effects on PrP folding at the single-molecule level with force spectroscopy. Single PrP mole...
متن کاملFast protein folding on downhill energy landscape.
Proteins fold in a time range of microseconds to minutes despite the large amount of possible conformers. Molecular dynamics simulations of a three-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet peptide (for a total of 12.6 microsec and 72 folding events) show that at the melting temperature the unfolded state ensemble contains many more conformers than those sampled during a folding event.
متن کاملEnergy landscape theory for cotranslational protein folding
Abstract Energy landscape theory describes how a full-length protein can attain its native fold after sampling only a tiny fraction of all possible structures. Although protein folding is now understood to be concomitant with synthesis on the ribosome there have been few attempts to modify energy landscape theory by accounting for cotranslational folding. This paper introduces a model for cotra...
