The ‘Shape-Shifter’ Peptide from the Disulphide Isomerase PmScsC Shows Context-Dependent Conformational Preferences

چکیده
Multiple crystal structures of the homo-trimeric protein disulphide isomerase PmScsC reveal that peptide which links trimerization stalk and catalytic domain can adopt helical, β-strand loop conformations. This region has been called a ‘shape-shifter’ peptide. Characterisation this using NMR experiments MD simulations shown it is essentially disordered in solution. Analysis identifies role intermolecular contacts, within an assembly molecules, stabilising different linker These context-dependent conformational properties may be important functionally, allowing for binding shuffling variety substrates to PmScsC. They also have relevance our understanding aggregation misfolding showing how quaternary interactions lead β-sheet formation by sequence other contexts adopts helical structure. ‘shape-shifting’ reminiscent one-to-many molecular recognition features (MoRFs) found intrinsically proteins are able conformations when they fold upon their partners.

Protein disulphide-isomerase and the formation of native disulphide bonds.
Disulphide bonds are found in practically every class of extracellular protein, and the formation of disulphide bonds must be regarded as a key post-translational modification of secretory proteins. Despite this, and despite the fact that the existence of disulphide bonds has been known for many years, the mechanism of disulphide bond formation during protein biosynthesis and secretion is not w...
متن کاملProtein disulphide isomerase
What is it? Protein disulphide isomerase is an enzyme with two interrelated activities: as an oxidoreductase, it can catalyse the formation, reduction and isomerisation of disulphide bonds; and as a polypeptide binding protein, it can function as a molecular chaperone which assists the folding of polypeptides. Transient association of PDI with nascent polypeptides during their folding prevents ...
متن کاملA shape-shifting redox foldase contributes to Proteus mirabilis copper resistance
Copper resistance is a key virulence trait of the uropathogen Proteus mirabilis. Here we show that P. mirabilis ScsC (PmScsC) contributes to this defence mechanism by enabling swarming in the presence of copper. We also demonstrate that PmScsC is a thioredoxin-like disulfide isomerase but, unlike other characterized proteins in this family, it is trimeric. PmScsC trimerization and its active si...
متن کاملConformational Preferences of a 14-Residue Fibrillogenic Peptide from Acetylcholinesterase†
A 14-residue fragment from near the C-terminus of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is believed to have a neurotoxic/neurotrophic effect acting via an unknown pathway. While the peptide is alpha-helical in the full-length enzyme, the structure and association mechanism of the fragment are unknown. Using multiple molecular dynamics simulations, starting from a tetrameric complex of the asso...
