Department of Biochemistry, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70803-1806 Received June 21, 1991; Revised Manuscript Received October 23, 1991 abstract: Apamin is an 18-residue bee venom peptide with the sequence CNCKAPETAL-CARRCQQH-amide and contains 2 disulfide bonds connecting Cl to Cl 1 and C-3 to C-15. In the folding of reduced, unfolded apamin to native apamin with two disulfide bonds, the one-disulfide folding intermediate states are not populated to significant levels. To study the properties of the one-disulfide intermediates, we have synthesized two peptide models to mimic the one-disulfide intermediates, Apa-1 and Apa-2, in which two cysteines in the sequence have been replacedby alanines. These peptides can form only one of the native disulfide bonds, Cl to Cl 1 in the case of Apa-1 and C-3 to C-15 in the case of Apa-2. The stabilities of these disulfide bonds have been measured as a function of pH, concentration of urea, and temperature, in order to understand which contributions stabilize the disulfide-bonded structures. Using oxidized and reduced glutathione, the equilibrium constants for forming the disulfide bonds at 25 C and pH 7.0 are 0.018 M for Apa-1 and 0.033 M for Apa-2 and show little dependence on pH or temperature. Both disulfide bonds are destabilized slightly (by approximately a factor of 2) between 0 and 8 M urea. Circular dichroism spectra indicate that although both Apa-1and Apa-2 exhibit some structure, Apa-2 exhibits more than Apa-1.
