Conformational states of the bacteriophage P22 capsid subunit in relation to self-assembly.

Abstract:

:The formation of closed icosahedral capsids from a single species of coat protein subunit requires that the subunits assume different conformations at different lattice positions. In the double-stranded DNA bacteriophage P22, formation of correctly dimensioned capsids is mediated by interaction between coat protein subunits and scaffolding protein. Raman spectroscopy has been employed to compare the conformations of coat protein subunits which have been polymerized to form capsids in the presence and absence of the of scaffolding protein display a Raman spectrum characterized by a broad amide I band centered at 1665 cm-1 with a discernible shoulder near 1653 cm-1, and a broad amide III profile centered at 1238 cm-1 but asymmetrically skewed to higher frequency. These spectral features indicate that the protein conformation in procapsid shells is rich in beta-sheet secondary structure but contains also a significant distribution of alpha-helix. When biologically active, purified subunits assemble in the absence of scaffolding protein, they form polydisperse multimers lacking the proper dimensions of procapsid closed shells. We designate these multimers as "associated subunits" (AS). The Raman spectrum of associated subunits indicates a narrower distribution of secondary structure. The associated subunits are characterized by a sharper and more intense Raman amide I band at 1666 cm-1, with no prominent amide I shoulder of lower frequency. An analogous narrowing of the Raman amide III profile is also observed for AS particles, with an accompanying shift of the amide III band center to 1235 cm-1.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
