Abstract:
:The side-chain dynamics of methyl groups in two structurally related proteins from the fibronectin type III (fnIII) superfamily, the third fnIII domain from human tenascin (TNfn3) and the tenth fnIII domain from human fibronectin (FNfn10), have been studied by NMR spectroscopy. Side-chain order parameters reveal that the hydrophobic cores of the two proteins have substantially different mobilities. The core of TNfn3 is very dynamic, with exceptionally low order parameters for the most deeply buried residues, while that of FNfn10 is more like those of other proteins which have been studied with this technique, having a relatively rigid core with uniformly distributed dynamics. The unusually dynamic core of TNfn3 appears to be related to its amino acid composition, which makes it more fluid-like. A further explanation for the mobility of the TNfn3 core may be found in the negative correlation between the order parameter and excess packing volume, which shows that the core of TNfn3 is less densely packed and consequently has lower methyl order parameters for its buried residues. Rotameric transitions, presumably facilitated by the lower packing density, appear to make an important contribution to lowering the order parameters, and have been probed by measuring three-bond scalar couplings. Overall, although backbone dynamics is generally similar for proteins with the same topology on a fast time scale (picoseconds to nanoseconds), this study shows that a single fold can accommodate a wide variation in the dynamic properties of its core.
