Stabilizing and Understanding a Miniprotein by Rational Redesign.

Abstract:

:Miniproteins reduce the complexity of the protein-folding problem allowing systematic studies of contributions to protein folding and stabilization. Here, we describe the rational redesign of a miniprotein, PPα, comprising a polyproline II helix, a loop, and an α helix. The redesign provides a de novo framework for interrogating noncovalent interactions. Optimized PPα has significantly improved thermal stability with a midpoint unfolding temperature (TM) of 51 °C. Its nuclear magnetic resonance structure indicates a density of stabilizing noncovalent interactions that is higher than that of the parent peptide, specifically an increased number of CH-π interactions. In part, we attribute this to improved long-range electrostatic interactions between the two helical elements. We probe further sequence-stability relationships in the miniprotein through a series of rational mutations.

  • Rapid kinetics of dehalogenation promoted by iodotyrosine deiodinase from human thyroid.

    abstract::Reductive dehalogenation such as that catalyzed by iodotyrosine deiodinase (IYD) is highly unusual in aerobic organisms but necessary for iodide salvage from iodotyrosine generated during thyroxine biosynthesis. Equally unusual is the dependence of this process on flavin. Rapid kinetics have now been used to define th...
