Modulation of a Protein Free-Energy Landscape by Circular Permutation
Circular permutations usually retain the native structure and function of a protein while inevitably perturbing its folding dynamics. By using simulations with a structure-based model and a rigorous methodology to determine free-energy surfaces from trajectories, we evaluate the effect of a circular permutation on the free-energy landscape of the protein T4 lysozyme. We observe changes which, a...
متن کاملTolerance of Protein Folding to a Circular Permutation in a PDZ Domain
Circular permutation is a common molecular mechanism for evolution of proteins. However, such re-arrangement of secondary structure connectivity may interfere with the folding mechanism causing accumulation of folding intermediates, which in turn can lead to misfolding. We solved the crystal structure and investigated the folding pathway of a circularly permuted variant of a PDZ domain, SAP97 P...
متن کاملCircular permutation analysis of phage T4 DNA by electron microscopy.
Phage T4 is known to have a linear duplex chromosome that is circularly permuted and terminally repeated. We found, by denaturation and self-reannealing experiments, that circular permutation in T4 native DNA is not random. Their multimodal distribution of permutation is compatible with the "headful packaging" model with the additional specifications that the encapsulation of DNA starts at seve...
متن کاملAlteration of the disulfide-coupled folding pathway of BPTI by circular permutation.
The kinetics of disulfide-coupled folding and unfolding of four circularly permuted forms of bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) were studied and compared with previously published results for both wild-type BPTI and a cyclized form. Each of the permuted proteins was found to be less stable than either the wild-type or circular proteins, by 3-8 kcal/mole. These stability differences were...
متن کاملStudying Protein Folding Using Motion Planning Techniques
The goal of this project is to use PRM (probabilistic roadmap) methods to study protein folding. Given a goal (native fold) configuration, we are able to construct a roadmap and derive a set of possible paths for the protein to follow. To do so, we model proteins as multi-link treelike robots with many degrees of freedom. Our work concentrates on improving our techniques for studying the potent...
