了解决定蛋白质稳定性的因素是有趣的,因为它直接反映了来自功能和环境的进化压力。在这里,我们结合了实验和计算方法来研究IscU的稳定性,IscU是一种在大多数生物体中高度保守的细菌支架蛋白,也是铁硫簇生物合成途径的重要组成部分。我们证明了锌的影响及其后果强烈依赖于样品的历史。IscU是一种在低离子强度下稍微稳定的蛋白质,在-8 °C左右经历冷变性,相应的焓急剧下降,这与蛋白质的流动性一致。组成性结合的锌的存在明显地稳定了IscU折叠,而当死后加回锌时,它可能导致蛋白质聚集。我们讨论了锌的配位可以通过不同的侧链空间上可用的,所有主管四面体协调。这些残基中的一些残基的个别缺失可以在很大程度上通过其他残基的小的局部重排来补偿。我们讨论了我们的研究结果在体外的蛋白质在体内的功能的潜在重要性。
Understanding the factors that determine protein stability is interesting because it directly reflects the evolutionary pressure coming from function and environment. Here, we have combined experimental and computational methods to study the stability of IscU, a bacterial scaffold protein highly conserved in most organisms and an essential component of the iron–sulfur cluster biogenesis pathway. We demonstrate that the effect of zinc and its consequence strongly depend on the sample history. IscU is a marginally stable protein at low ionic strength to the point that undergoes cold denaturation at around −8°C with a corresponding dramatic decrease of enthalpy, which is consistent with the fluxional nature of the protein. Presence of constitutively bound zinc appreciably stabilizes the IscU fold, whereas it may cause protein aggregation when zinc is added back posthumously. We discuss how zinc coordination can be achieved by different side chains spatially available and all competent for tetrahedral coordination. The individual absence of some of these residues can be largely compensated by small local rearrangements of the others. We discuss the potential importance of our findings in vitro for the function in vivo of the protein.
