Revised Manuscript Received February 24, 1992 abstract: The-globin semisynthetic reaction, namely, the ligation of the complementary fragments of-globin, a 1-30 and 031-141, in the presence of 30% 1-propanol that is catalyzed by V8 protease is distinct as compared with the previously studied protease-catalyzed splicing of the discontinuity sites of the fragment complementing systems [Sahni et al.(1989) Biochemistry 28, 5456]. The complementary fragments of-globin do not exhibit noncovalent interaction between them even in the presence of 1-propanol, the organic cosolvent used to facilitate the-globin semisynthetic reaction. Besides, a significant portion of the fragment «3i_i4i does not contribute to the protease-catalyzed splicing reaction.«i_3o and «31-40 are ligated by V8 protease toyield «1^ 0 in much the same way as the splicing of «1-30 with either «31-141 or «3^ 7 to yield «-globin or «1^ 7, respectively. An equimolar mixture of «1-30 and «31-40 does not show any ‘complexation’in the presence of 30% 1-propanol, the medium used for the synthetic reaction. The splicing junction, ie, Glu30-Arg31 peptide bond, is located in the middle of the B-helix (residues 20-35) of the parent protein. Most of theresidues from the A-helix of the protein could also be deleted from segment a 1-30 without influencing the V8 protease-catalyzed splicing reaction. V8protease catalyzed the splicing of-30 and «31^ 0 in thepresence of 30% 1-propanol with an overall yield of 40% that compares well with the yield of semisynthesis of full length-globin. Segment^ exhibits very little «-helical conformation in the absence of the organic cosolvent. On the other hand, in the presence of 1-propanol, a significant amount of «-helical conformation is induced into-40· However, the discontinuity at the Glu30_Arg31 peptide bond of «17-40 completely abolished the «-helical conformation of the peptide even in the presence of the organic cosolvent. Therefore, we hypothesize that the increased helical conformation of the contiguous system (compared to the discontiguous system) in the presence of organic cosolvent operates as a ‘conformational trap’of the semisynthetic reaction. Consistent with this hypothesis, V8 protease-catalyzed synthesis of-globin and of ai-47 from therespective complementary fragments proceeds smoothlyin the presence of other helix-inducing organic cosolvents, like trifluoroethanol and 2-propanol. A corollary to this conformational trap hypothesis is that the splicing reaction will be independent of the protease used as far as the specificity requirements of theenzyme used are satisfied. Trypsin indeed catalyzed the ligation of Arg31 of ai7_3i with Met32 of «32-40 in the presence of 1-propanol to generate the contiguous segment «17-40. The results establish that the covalent contiguity generated by enzymic catalysis in a mixture of the complementary segments represents an assembly of a nascent segment with high ‘«-helical conformationalpropensity’.
