Abstract

Hydrophobins are fungal proteins that can self-assemble into amphiphilic films at hydrophobic-hydrophilic interfaces. Class I hydrophobin aggregates resemble amyloid fibrils, sharing some features with them. Here, five site-directed mutants of Vmh2, a member of basidiomycota class I hydrophobins, were designed and characterized to elucidate the molecular determinants playing a key role in class I hydrophobin self-assembly. The mechanism of fibril formation proposed for Vmh2 foresees that the triggering event is the destabilization of a specific loop (L1), leading to the formation of a β-hairpin, which in turn generates the β-spine of the amyloid fibril.

摘要

水蛋白是一类真菌蛋白,能够在疏水-亲水界面上自组装成两亲性薄膜。I 类水蛋白聚集体类似于淀粉样纤维,与它们具有一些共同特征。在此,设计并表征了 5 种来源于担子菌纲 I 类水蛋白的 Vmh2 定点突变体,以阐明在 I 类水蛋白自组装中起关键作用的分子决定因素。提出的 Vmh2 纤维形成机制设想,触发事件是特定环(L1)的去稳定化,导致β发夹的形成,进而产生淀粉样纤维的β-棘。
