Transient misfolding dominates multidomain protein folding
Neighbouring domains of multidomain proteins with homologous tandem repeats have divergent sequences, probably as a result of evolutionary pressure to avoid misfolding and aggregation, particularly at the high cellular protein concentrations. Here we combine microfluidic-mixing single-molecule kinetics, ensemble experiments and molecular simulations to investigate how misfolding between the imm...
متن کاملMisfolding Dominates Protein Evolution
The diverse array of protein functions depends upon these molecules’ reliable ability to fold into the native structures determined by their amino-acid sequences. Because mutations that alter a protein’s sequence frequently disrupt its folding, protein evolution explores protein sequence space conservatively, either by point mutations or recombination between related sequences. Attempts to engi...
متن کاملHydrophobic collapse in multidomain protein folding.
We performed molecular dynamics simulations of the collapse of a two-domain protein, the BphC enzyme, into a globular structure to examine how water molecules mediate hydrophobic collapse of proteins. In the interdomain region, liquid water persists with a density 10 to 15% lower than in the bulk, even at small domain separations. Water depletion and hydrophobic collapse occur on a nanosecond t...
متن کاملFrustration in the energy landscapes of multidomain protein misfolding.
Frustration from strong interdomain interactions can make misfolding a more severe problem in multidomain proteins than in single-domain proteins. On the basis of bioinformatic surveys, it has been suggested that lowering the sequence identity between neighboring domains is one of nature's solutions to the multidomain misfolding problem. We investigate folding of multidomain proteins using the ...
متن کاملProtein Folding and Misfolding on Surfaces
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation, as well as the way misfolded and aggregated proteins affects cell viability are emerging as key themes in molecular and structural biology and in molecular medicine. Recent advances in the knowledge of the biophysical basis of protein folding have led to propose the energy landscape theory which provides a consistent framework to better understand ho...
