英文摘要
Project Summary
A molecular-level understanding of the mechanism by which the amino acid sequence of a protein
directs its rapid and efficient folding to its native, functional conformation remains as one of the outstanding
challenges in molecular biophysics. Although computer simulations are successfully folding small proteins and
domains, the precise role of the amino acid sequence in defining the structures and stabilities of the species
that populate the folding free energy surface remains elusive. We hypothesize that clusters of branched
aliphatic side chains, isoleucines, leucines and valines (ILV), serve as cores of stability in folding intermediates
and the native states of TIM barrel proteins, one of the most common motifs in biology. We propose a multi-
faceted test of this hypothesis on a trio of indole-3-glycerolphosphate synthase (IGPS) orthologs, whose low
sequence identity results in varying sizes and locations of their resident ILV clusters. A battery of techniques
will probe the structures of partially-folded states that populate the folding free energy surfaces and test their
relationship with these saturated hydrocarbon clusters. CD, FRET and SAXS techniques will assess secondary
structure and provide pair-wise and global dimensional information beginning in the microsecond time range,
hydrogen-exchange mass spectrometry and NMR methods will map the stable hydrogen bonding networks in
partially-folded states that appear in the milliseconds-to-seconds time frame, and side chain burial in these
same species will be assessed with a novel oxidative labeling method. The results will be used to validate the
predictions of structure in partially-folded states using native-centric GM-model simulations that are capable of
defining the entire folding reaction coordinate of these orthologs. In an exciting new venture, we will assess
the effects of an exhaustive set of amino acid replacements in all 8 ¿-strand and preceding ¿/¿ loop stability
elements on the relative fitness of each ortholog in a growth competition assay in a yeast strain lacking its
intrinsic IGPS gene. The presumption that fitness provides an in vivo estimate of stability will be validated with
an in vitro quantitative assessment of the perturbation of the stability of native and intermediate states in a
subset of ~100 site-directed mutations in the same stability elements in the SsIGPS ortholog. Parallel CD and
enzymatic activity assays will measure the effects of the mutations on the structure and the function of the
enzyme as an alternative explanation for decrease in fitness. The output of these in vivo and in vitro measures
of stability perturbations will serve as input for a bioinformatics analysis designed to offer a statistically-
significant assessment of the context dependence of the mutations. Comparisons of the effects of mutations
within and external to ILV clusters will provide an unbiased and robust approach towards determining their
significance in defining cores of stability in globular proteins.
Validation of our hypothesis, that clusters of branched aliphatic side chains play crucial roles in
stabilizing partially-folded states and guiding the folding of TIM barrel proteins, has the potential to have a very
broad impact on biology, biotechnology and medicine.
