Revised Manuscript Received September 18, 1995® abstract: The in vivo folding of subtilisin is dependent on a 77 amino acid prosequence, which is eventually cleaved from the N-terminus of subtilisin to create the 275 amino acid mature form of the enzyme. The recent determination of the structure of a complex of the prodomain and a calcium-free subtilisin mutant has suggested how the prodomain may catalyze subtilisin folding [Bryan, P., Wang, L., Hoskins, J., Ruvinov, S., Strausberg, S., Alexander, P., Almog, O., Gilliland, G., & Gallagher, T.(1995) Biochemistry 34, 10310—10318]. In the complex, the prodomain packs against the two parallel surface helices of subtilisin (residues 104—116 and residues 133—144) and supplies caps to the N-termini of the two helices. The binding site is contained almost entirelyin the linear sequence 100—144 of subtilisin. The C-terminus of the prodomain (residues 72—77) extends out from its central part to bindlike a substrate in subtilisin’s activesite cleft. The simplest model of catalyzed folding is one in which the observed binding interaction in the complex accelerates folding by stabilizing an intermediate which includes the 45 amino acid afia substructure in subtilisin. According to our hypothesis, amino acids 100—144 would have a native-like fold in the intermediatewhich the prodomain stabilizes. Guided bythe structure of the bimolecular complex of subtilisin and its prodomain, we have constructed mutations in the C-terminal region of the prodomain. Analysis of five mutants reveals a general correlation between the ability of the prodomain to bind to native subtilisin and its ability to accelerate subtilisin folding. Substitutions of the prodomain side chain in the SI subtrate binding pocket (Y77) have relatively small effects on catalysis of subtilisin folding and binding to folded subtilisin (3-fold or less). Deletion of two or five C-terminal amino acids, which removes hydrogen bonds in the complex, has much larger effects (25—500-fold). The correlation between binding to native subtilisin and foldase activity suggests that the subtilisin intermediate which the prodomain binds and stabilizes in the folding reaction has native-like structural features.The 275 amino acid serine protease subtilisin and several other extracellular microbial proteases are unusual but not unique examples of proteins with a stable native state which is difficult to access from the unfolded state (Baker & Agard, 1994). The biosynthesis of subtilisin is dependent on a 77 amino acid prosequence, which is eventually cleaved from the N-terminus of subtilisin to create the 275 amino acid mature form of the enzyme (Ikemura et al., 1987; Power et al., 1986; Vasantha et al., 1984; Wells et al., 1983). Refolding of processed subtilisin is problematic. Without the prodomain, subtilisin refolds very slowly (r> weeks in 0.1 M KPi,'pH 7.0). Even when catalyzed by the isolated prodomain in a bimolecular reaction, refolding of subtilisin occurs at a rate of only 0.2 M~! s-1 at 15 C (Eder et al., 1993). In order to simplify the study of subtilisin folding, we have employedsubtilisin mutants from which the high-affinity calcium binding site is removed (Bryan et al., 1992). 2 Unlike wild-type subtilisin, refolding of “calcium-free”
