alpha-Lactalbumin, a small calcium-binding protein, forms an equilibrium molten globule state under a variety of conditions. A set of four peptides designed to probe the role of local interactions and the role of potential long-range interactions in stabilizing the molten globule of alpha-lactalbumin has been prepared. The first peptide consists of residues 20 through 36 of human alpha-lactalbumin and includes the entire B-helix. This peptide is unstructured in solution as judged by CD. The second peptide is derived from residues 101 through 120 and contains both the D and 310 helices. When this peptide is crosslinked via the native 28 to 111 disulfide to the B-helix peptide, a dramatic increase in helicity is observed. The crosslinked peptide is monomeric, as judged by analytical ultracentrifugation. The peptide binds 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulphonate (ANS) and the fluorescence emission maximum of the construct is consistent with partial solvent exposure of the tryptophan residues. The peptide corresponding to residues 101 to 120 adopts significant non-random structure in aqueous solution at low pH. Two hydrophobic clusters, one involving residues 101 through 104 and the other residues 115 through 119 have been identified and characterized by NMR. The hydrophobic cluster formed by residues 101 through 104 is still present in a smaller peptide containing only residues 101 to 111 of alpha-lactalbumin. The cluster also persists in 6 M urea. A non-native, pH-dependent interaction between the Y103 and H107 side-chains that was previously identified in the acid-denatured molten globule state was examined. This interaction was found to be more prevalent at low pH and may therefore be an example of a local interaction that stabilizes preferentially the acid-induced molten globule state.
