Revised Manuscript Received May 5, 1994® abstract: Different denatured states of Arc repressor were characterized by one-dimensional and twodimensional NMR and by fluorescence spectroscopy. Increasing pressure promoted sequential changes in the structure of Arc repressor: from thenative dimer through a predissociated state to a denaturated molten globule monomer. A compact state (molten globule) of Arc repressor was obtained in the dissociation of Arc repressor by pressure whereas high temperature and urea induced dissociation and unfolding to less structured conformations. The NMR spectra of the monomer under pressure (up to 5.0 kbar) are typical of a molten globule, and they are considerably different from those of the native dimer and the thermally or chemically denatured monomer. The substantial line broadening and overlap of many resonances in theNMR spectra at high pressures indicatethat there is interconversion between a number of different conformations of the molten globule at an intermediate exchange rate. The two-dimensional NOE spectra show that thepressure-denatured monomer retains substantial secondary structure. The presence of NOEs in the 3-sheet region in the dissociated state suggests that the intersubunit 3-sheet (residues 6-14) in the native-dimer is replaced by an intramonomer 3-sheet. Changes in 2D NMR spectra prior to dissociation indicate theexistence of a predissociated state that may represent an intermediate in the folding and subunit association pathway of Arc repressor.
