Abstract

The GrpE protein from E. coli is a homodimer with an unusual structure of two long paired alpha-helices from each monomer interacting in a parallel arrangement to form a "tail" at the N-terminal end. Using site-directed mutagenesis, we show that there is a key electrostatic interaction involving R57 (mediated by a water molecule) that provides thermal stability to this "tail" region. The R57A mutant showed a drop in T (m) of 8.5 degrees C and a smaller DeltaH (u) (unfolding) compared to wild-type for the first unfolding transition, but no significant decrease in dimer stability as shown through equilibrium analytical ultracentrifugation studies. Another mutant (E94A) at the dimer interface showed a decrease in DeltaH (u )but no drop in T (m) for the second unfolding transition and a slight increase in dimer stability.

摘要

来自大肠杆菌的GrpE蛋白是一种同型二聚体,具有独特的结构,每个单体的两条长的配对α螺旋以平行排列相互作用,在N端形成一个“尾巴”。通过定点诱变,我们发现存在一个涉及R57的关键静电相互作用(由一个水分子介导),它为这个“尾巴”区域提供热稳定性。与野生型相比,R57A突变体在第一次解折叠转变时,T(m)下降了8.5摄氏度,ΔH(u)(解折叠)更小,但通过平衡分析超速离心研究表明二聚体稳定性没有显著下降。二聚体界面处的另一个突变体(E94A)在第二次解折叠转变时,ΔH(u)降低,但T(m)没有下降,并且二聚体稳定性略有增加。
