Revised Manuscript Received May 10, 1993 abstract: Platelet factor 4 (PF4)(7800 daltons) is an anti-parallel/3-sheet, a//3 class protein whose tertiary structure is stabilized by the presence of two disulfide bonds. Titration of PF4 with 2-propanol or similar low molecular weight, aliphatic alcohols induces reversible proteinfolding transitions which are observed to be in slow exchange on the 600-MHz'H NMR time scale. Line fitting of resolved resonances assigned to ring protons of Y60, H35, H23, and aH of K50 in native and alcohol-induced states (O-states) allows derivation of folding equilibrium constants and exchange kinetics. Folding exchange rates vary between 5 and 100 s_1 on going from 9.8 to 3.3 M 2-propanol. Simple linear extrapolation to 0 M 2-propanol yields an O-state to N-state exchange rate of about 500 s_1, ie, millisecond time scale. At relativelyhigh 2-propanol concentration (> 9.5 M), where the O-state is predominant (> 90%), NMR spectra suggest a more “unfolded” structure, while CD data indicate the preservation of considerable secondary structure. Increasing 2-propanol from 3.3 to 9.8 M, however, shifts the CD-derivedfractional compositions significantly, with overall/3-structure decreasing by about 20% and a-helix compositionincreasing by about 25%. Alcohol-jump experiments, whichidentify O-state long-lived NHs in the NMR spectrum of native PF4, indicate folding transition reversibility and conservation of about 15 long-lived NHs in native and O-states. Most of these NHs are assigned to residues in anti-parallel/3-sheet structure. Of these 15 NHs, H/D exchange rates, althoughvariably reduced in the O-state, are generally still long-lived compared with random coil H/D exchange. Overall, thePF4 O-state is a stable intermediate with an apparently more highly fluctuating anti-parallel/3-sheet structure and a more stabilized C-terminal a-helix.
