Molten globules are partially folded forms of proteins that have native-like secondary structure and a compact geometry, but often without rigid, specific side-chain packing. Recently, the molten globule of α-lactalbumin (α-LA) has been shown to adopt a native-like tertiary topology, mainly localized in the α-helical domain. This native-like topology is reflected by the high effective concentration (Ceff) for formation of the 28–111 disulfide bond, which is approximately 10 to 40 times higher than the Cefffor formation of any non-native disulfide bond in the α-helical domain. In order to understand the mechanism for formation of the native-like tertiary topology, we substituted alanine for each of the 23 buried residues in the α-helical domain of α-LA and determined the effect of these substitutions on the Cefffor formation of the 28–111 disulfide bond. Our results indicate that a subset of hydrophobic residues is most important for formation of the native-like topology. These residues form a densely packed core in the three-dimensional structure of α-LA. In contrast, the less important residues consist of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acids located at peripheral positions. These results suggest that a relatively small number of hydrophobic residues may be sufficient for specifying the overall structure of a protein during early stages of protein folding.
