Abstract
The Alzheimer-linked neural protein S100B is a signaling molecule shown to control the assembly of intermediate filament proteins in a calcium-sensitive manner. Upon binding calcium, a conformational change occurs in S100B exposing a hydrophobic surface for target protein interactions. The synthetic peptide TRTK-12 (TRTKIDWNKILS), derived from random bacteriophage library screening, bears sequence similarity to several intermediate filament proteins and has the highest calcium-dependent affinity of any target molecule for S100B to date (K(d) <1 microm). In this work, the three-dimensional structure of the Ca(2+)-S100B-TRTK-12 complex has been determined by NMR spectroscopy. The structure reveals an extended, contiguous hydrophobic surface is formed on Ca(2+)-S100B for target interaction. The TRTK-12 peptide adopts a coiled structure that fits into a portion of this surface, anchored at Trp(7), and interacts with multiple hydrophobic contacts in helices III and IV of Ca(2+)-S100B. This interaction is strikingly different from the alpha-helical structures found for other S100 target peptides. By using the TRTK-12 interaction as a guide, in combination with other available S100 target structures, a recognition site on helix I is identified that may act in concert with the TRTK-12-binding site from helices III and IV. This would provide a larger, more complex site to interact with full-length target proteins and would account for the promiscuity observed for S100B target protein interactions.

Fig. 2. Structure of the Ca^2+-S100B-TRTK-12 complex. The N and C termini are labeled for one S100 monomer and TRTK-12, and helices are indicated for S100 . A, stereo view of the backbone superposition of the final ensemble of 17 NMR derived structures of the complex. S100 monomers are shown in magenta and blue, and the TRTK-12 peptide molecules are shown in light blue. B, ribbon structure of the complex. Each monomer consists of four -helices (helix I, blue; II, magenta; III, green; and IV, yellow) and two anti-parallel -strands (orange, blue). TRTK-12 is shown in dark blue.

A, location of the two TRTK-12 molecules ( green) on opposite sides of Ca^2+-S100B. The TRTK-12 peptide fits into the hydrophobic cleft generated by helices III and IV of each monomer. Note that on either side of the TRTK-12-binding site a significant uncharged region exists. B, environment of the anchoring Trp7 residue from TRTK-12 (green) showing interactions with S100B residues (blue) in helix III (Val56 and Thr59) and IV (Phe^76 and Val80).
