ABSTRACT
|
|
|
| |
|
The origins of formation of an intermediate state involved in amyloid formation
and ways to prevent it are illustrated with the example of the Formin binding
protein 28 (FBP28) WW domain, which folds with biphasic kinetics. Molecular
dynamics of protein folding trajectories are used to examine local and global
motions and the time dependence of formation of contacts between C(α)s and
C(β)s of selected pairs of residues. Focus is placed on the WT FBP28 WW domain
and its six mutants (L26D, L26E, L26W, E27Y, T29D, and T29Y), which have
structures that are determined by high-resolution NMR spectroscopy. The origins
of formation of an intermediate state are elucidated, viz. as formation of
hairpin 1 by a hydrophobic collapse mechanism causing significant delay of
formation of both hairpins, especially hairpin 2, which facilitates the
emergence of an intermediate state. It seems that three-state folding is a major
folding scenario for all six mutants and WT. Additionally, two-state and
downhill folding scenarios were identified in ∼15% of the folding trajectories
for L26D and L26W, in which both hairpins are formed by the Matheson-Scheraga
mechanism much faster than in three-state folding. These results indicate that
formation of hairpins connecting two antiparallel β-strands determines overall
folding. The correlations between the local and global motions identified for
all folding trajectories lead to the identification of the residues making the
main contributions in the formation of the intermediate state. The presented
findings may provide an understanding of protein folding intermediates in
general and lead to a procedure for their prevention.
