An on-pathway hidden intermediate and the early rate-limiting transition state of Rd-apocytochrome b562 characterized by protein engineering.

Abstract:

:The folding pathway of Rd-apocytochrome b562, a four-helix bundle protein, was characterized using Trp and Ala/Gly pair mutations. We found that the Trp mutants (F65W) of both the fully folded Rd-apocytochrome b562 and a partially unfolded intermediate with the N-terminal helix (helix I) unfolded, fold with identical folding rates, providing direct evidence for the conclusion that the rate-limiting transition state folds before the partially unfolded intermediate; and that this hidden intermediate is an on-pathway intermediate. We further characterized the helical structures formed in the rate-limiting transition state by measuring the folding/unfolding rates for Ala/Gly pair mutations at solvent-exposed positions. Little change in folding rates occurred for the Ala/Gly pair mutations at positions in helix I and the C-terminal regions of helix II and IV. In contrast, a significant difference in folding rates was observed for the Ala/Gly pair mutations in helix III and the N-terminal regions of helix II and IV, suggesting that helix III and the N-terminal regions of helix II and IV are formed in the rate-limiting transition state. These results complement those obtained from earlier studies and help to define the folding pathway of Rd-apocytochrome b562 in more detail.
