Native, catalytically active ribonuclease A Unfolded; catalytically inactive. Reduced disulfide bonds. 1/105 random chance Folding is encoded in the amino acid sequence.

  8. Oznur’s slide: How does a protein fold?Levinthal’s Paradox • Assume a chain of 100 amino acids. • Allow only 3 conformations. • - Possible conformations = 3100 ~ 1048 • Assume bond rotation rate 1014 sec. • - Reaching the native state would take: • 1026 years !Longer than the age of • the universe! Simplest case: random-walk Energy Entropy Protein folding cannot be random-walk. Dill & Chan, 1997 Levinthal, 1968 Molecular Biophysics III – Klein-Seetharaman – Folding Lecture

  12. Oznur’s slide: Random Coil and Denatured State Flory’s isolated pair hypothesis Rg values determined by SAXS “Φ,Ψ angles of each residue is sterically independent” There should not exist any non-local interactions. Rg values of 28 denatured proteins obeys the Flory’s power law. • Rg= RgNv • N = Length (Residues) • v = Solvent viscosity parameter Sosnick, T.R., et al. 2004 Flory, 1969. Molecular Biophysics III – Klein-Seetharaman – Folding Lecture

  13. Oznur’s slide: Testing the random coil statistics For a protein ≈8% of the residues are varied; the remaining ≈92% of the residues remained fixed in their native conformation. 33 proteins Number of residues Simulated Rg follows the power law. Despite 92% of the native structure kept, random coil statistics are obtained. Fitzkee, N.C. and Rose, G.D. 2004 Molecular Biophysics III – Klein-Seetharaman – Folding Lecture

  14. Oznur’s slide: The Denatured StateDoes Flory’s hypothesis hold? Conformations of polyalanine chains are enumerated to test the hypothesis. + ={A,G,M,R,L,F,E,K,Q} * = {J,P,O,I,o} Flory’s hypothesis is not valid for polypeptide chains. Backbone conformations are limited by additional steric clashes. Pappu et.al 2003. Molecular Biophysics III – Klein-Seetharaman – Folding Lecture

  15. Which NMR spectrum is of folded and which is of unfolded lysozyme? Molecular Biophysics III – Klein-Seetharaman – Folding Lecture

  16. Which NMR spectrum is of folded and which is of unfolded lysozyme? folded unfolded Molecular Biophysics III – Klein-Seetharaman – Folding Lecture

  17. How would you use NMR to test for residual structure? Molecular Biophysics III – Klein-Seetharaman – Folding Lecture

  18. How would you identify residual structure in unfolded proteins with NMR? • What types of NMR parameters do you know? • chemical shifts • coupling constants • HetNOE • longitudinal relaxation rates (R1) • transverse relaxation rates (R2) Molecular Biophysics III – Klein-Seetharaman – Folding Lecture

  19. How would you identify residual structure in unfolded proteins with NMR? • 1. Measurement of NMR parameters in 15N-labeled unfolded protein • chemical shifts • coupling constants • HetNOE • longitudinal relaxation rates (R1) • transverse relaxation rates (R2) • 2. Comparison of NMR parameters with random coil • 3. Deviation from random coil identifies residual structure • Application to unfolded conformations of hen egg white lysozyme: • oxidized in 8M urea • reduced and methylated in 8M urea • reduced and methylated in water Molecular Biophysics III – Klein-Seetharaman – Folding Lecture

  21. Dynamics in folded/unfolded lysozyme Unfolded: Arrows indicate oxidized (all disulfide bonds present) lysozyme Folded: Molecular Biophysics III – Klein-Seetharaman – Folding Lecture

  22. Relaxation Rates in Unfolded Lysozyme Unfolded lysozyme can be studied in 8 M urea. Unfolded lysozyme can also be studied without urea, if the disulfide bonds are reduced and the cysteines are derivatized to prevent them from forming disulfide bonds. Molecular Biophysics III – Klein-Seetharaman – Folding Lecture

  23. Relaxation Rates in Unfolded Lysozyme What do you observe? Molecular Biophysics III – Klein-Seetharaman – Folding Lecture

  24. Relaxation Rates in Unfolded Lysozyme Regions with higher relaxation rates are localized as clusters.  Presence of clusters of residual structure that are restricted in conformational space, thus relax faster. Molecular Biophysics III – Klein-Seetharaman – Folding Lecture

  25. How would you analyze the relaxation data? Molecular Biophysics III – Klein-Seetharaman – Folding Lecture

  26. What are the assumptions of the model-free approach? Molecular Biophysics III – Klein-Seetharaman – Folding Lecture

  27. Analysis of the relaxation data Three means of analysis have been proposed: • Model-free approach • Cole-Cole distributions • Gaussian clusters However: What gives rise to these clusters is not known. Molecular Biophysics III – Klein-Seetharaman – Folding Lecture

  32. What stabilizes the clusters of residual structure? • Long-range interactions? • Local structure? • How would you test this? Molecular Biophysics III – Klein-Seetharaman – Folding Lecture

  33. Approach 1 • Peptides: if peptides without structural context of the full chain contain structure, then this structure is independent of long-range stabilization Molecular Biophysics III – Klein-Seetharaman – Folding Lecture
