Abstract：
:The intracellular kinetic folding pathway of the human chorionic gonadotropin beta-subunit (hCG-beta) reveals the presence of a disulfide between Cys residues 38-57 that is not detected by X-ray analysis of secreted hCG-beta. This led us to propose that disulfide rearrangement is an essential feature of cystine knot formation during CG-beta folding. To test this, we used disulfide bond formation to monitor progression of intracellular folding intermediates of a previously uncharacterized protein, the CG-beta subunit of cynomolgous macaque (Macaca fascicularis). Like its human counterpart hCG-beta with which it shares 81% identity, macaque (m)CG-beta is a cystine knot-containing subunit that assembles with an alpha-subunit common to all glycoprotein hormone members of its species to form a biologically active heterodimer, mCG, which, like hCG, is required for pregnancy maintenance. An early mCG-beta folding intermediate, mpbeta1, contained two disulfide bonds, one between Cys34 and Cys88 and the other between Cys38 and Cys57. The subsequent folding intermediate, mpbeta2-early, was represented by an ensemble of folding forms that, in addition to the two disulfides mentioned above, included disulfide linkages between Cys9 and Cys57 and between Cys38 and Cys90. These latter two disulfides are those contained within the beta-subunit cystine knot and reveal that a disulfide exchange occurred during the mpbeta2-early folding step leading to formation of the mCG-beta knot. Thus, while defining the intracellular kinetic protein folding pathway of a monkey homologue of CG-beta, we detected the previously predicted disulfide exchange event crucial for CG-beta cystine knot formation and attainment of CG-beta assembly competence.
