    الوصف: Significance Efficient synthesis and folding of proteins, avoiding misfolded states, are central to cell function. As folding may be initiated in parallel with translation, key experimental challenges are to map changes that occur in folding free energy landscapes as translation proceeds and to understand how these landscapes might be modulated by the ribosome and auxiliary factors. Here, we study the length-dependent folding of a domain from a tandem repeat protein and solve the structure of a stable folding intermediate. Although destabilized by the ribosome at equilibrium, modeling of the nonequilibrium folding pathway nevertheless indicates a significant role for proline isomerization during translation. We develop a simple model to explore the impact of cotranslational folding kinetics on misfolding hazards.
    Cotranslational folding (CTF) is a fundamental molecular process that ensures efficient protein biosynthesis and minimizes the formation of misfolded states. However, the complexity of this process makes it extremely challenging to obtain structural characterizations of CTF pathways. Here, we correlate observations of translationally arrested nascent chains with those of a systematic C-terminal truncation strategy. We create a detailed description of chain length-dependent free energy landscapes associated with folding of the FLN5 filamin domain, in isolation and on the ribosome, and thus, quantify a substantial destabilization of the native structure on the ribosome. We identify and characterize two folding intermediates formed in isolation, including a partially folded intermediate associated with the isomerization of a conserved cis proline residue. The slow folding associated with this process raises the prospect that neighboring unfolded domains might accumulate and misfold during biosynthesis. We develop a simple model to quantify the risk of misfolding in this situation and show that catalysis of folding by peptidyl-prolyl isomerases is sufficient to eliminate this hazard.

    الوصف: Proteins employ the information stored in the genetic code and translated into their sequences to carry out well-defined functions in the cellular environment. The possibility to encode for such functions is controlled by the balance between the amount of information supplied by the sequence and that left after that the protein has folded into its structure. We developed a computational algorithm to evaluate the amount of information necessary to specify the protein structure, keeping into account the thermodynamic properties of protein folding. We thus show that the information remaining in the protein sequence after encoding for its structure (the 'information gap') is very close to what needed to encode for its function and interactions. Then, by predicting the information gap directly from the protein sequence, we show that it may be possible to use these insights from information theory to discriminate between ordered and disordered proteins, to identify unknown functions, and to optimize designed proteins sequences.

    الوصف: To survive in cold environments, psychrophilic organisms produce enzymes endowed with high specific activity at low temperature. The structure of these enzymes is usually flexible and mostly thermolabile. In this work, we investigate the structural basis of cold adaptation of a GH42 β-galactosidase from the psychrophilic Marinomonas ef1. This enzyme couples cold activity with astonishing robustness for a psychrophilic protein, for it retains 23% of its highest activity at 5°C and it is stable for several days at 37°C and even 50°C. Phylogenetic analyses indicate a close relationship with thermophilic β-galactosidases, suggesting that the present-day enzyme evolved from a thermostable scaffold modeled by environmental selective pressure. The crystallographic structure reveals the overall similarity with GH42 enzymes, along with a hexameric arrangement (dimer of trimers) not found in psychrophilic, mesophilic, and thermophilic homologues. In the quaternary structure, protomers form a large central cavity, whose accessibility to the substrate is promoted by the dynamic behavior of surface loops, even at low temperature. A peculiar cooperative behavior of the enzyme is likely related to the increase of the internal cavity permeability triggered by heating. Overall, our results highlight a novel strategy of enzyme cold adaptation, based on the oligomerization state of the enzyme, which effectively challenges the paradigm of cold activity coupled with intrinsic thermolability.

    الوصف: Accurate protein structural ensembles can be determined with metainference, a Bayesian inference method that integrates experimental information with prior knowledge of the system and deals with all sources of uncertainty and errors as well as with system heterogeneity. Furthermore, metainference can be implemented using the metadynamics approach, which enables the computational study of complex biological systems requiring extensive conformational sampling. In this chapter, we provide a step-by-step guide to perform and analyse metadynamic metainference simulations using the ISDB module of the open-source PLUMED library, as well as a series of practical tips to avoid common mistakes. Specifically, we will guide the reader in the process of learning how to model the structural ensemble of a small disordered peptide by combining state-of-the-art molecular mechanics force fields with nuclear magnetic resonance data, including chemical shifts, scalar couplings and residual dipolar couplings.

    الوصف: Here a differential geometry (DG) representation of protein backbone is explored on the analyses of protein conformational ensembles. The protein backbone is described by curvature, κ, and torsion, τ, values per residue and we propose 1) a new dissimilarity and protein flexibility measurement and 2) a local conformational clustering method. The methods were applied to Ubiquitin and c-Myb-KIX protein conformational ensembles and results show that κ\τ metric space allows to properly judge protein flexibility by avoiding the superposition problem. The dmax measurement presents equally good or superior results when compared to RMSF, especially for the intrinsically unstructured protein. The clustering method is unique as it relates protein global to local dynamics by providing a global clustering solutions per residue. The methods proposed can be especially useful to the analyses of highly flexible proteins. The software written for the analyses presented here is available at https://github.com/AMarinhoSN/FleXgeo for academic usage only.

    الوصف: The MobiDB (URL: mobidb.bio.unipd.it) database of protein disorder and mobility annotations has been significantly updated and upgraded since its last major renewal in 2014. Several curated datasets for intrinsic disorder and folding upon binding have been integrated from specialized databases. The indirect evidence has also been expanded to better capture information available in the PDB, such as high temperature residues in X-ray structures and overall conformational diversity. Novel nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shift data provides an additional experimental information layer on conformational dynamics. Predictions have been expanded to provide new types of annotation on backbone rigidity, secondary structure preference and disordered binding regions. MobiDB 3.0 contains information for the complete UniProt protein set and synchronization has been improved by covering all UniParc sequences. An advanced search function allows the creation of a wide array of custom-made datasets for download and further analysis. A large amount of information and cross-links to more specialized databases are intended to make MobiDB the central resource for the scientific community working on protein intrinsic disorder and mobility.

    الوصف: The antibody light chain (LC) consists of two domains and is essential for antigen binding in mature immunoglobulins. The two domains are connected by a highly conserved linker that comprises the structurally important Arg108 residue. In antibody light chain (AL) amyloidosis, a severe protein amyloid disease, the LC and its N-terminal variable domain (V-L) convert to fibrils deposited in the tissues causing organ failure. Understanding the factors shaping the architecture of the LC is important for basic science, biotechnology and for deciphering the principles that lead to fibril formation. In this study, we examined the structure and properties of LC variants with a mutated or extended linker. We show that under destabilizing conditions, the linker modulates the amyloidogenicity of the LC. The fibril formation propensity of LC linker variants and their susceptibility to proteolysis directly correlate implying an interplay between the two LC domains. Using NMR and residual dipolar coupling-based simulations, we found that the linker residue Arg108 is a key factor regulating the relative orientation of the VL and CL domains, keeping them in a bent and dense, but still flexible conformation. Thus, inter-domain contacts and the relative orientation of VL and CL to each other are of major importance for maintaining the structural integrity of the full-length LC. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd.

    الوصف: Summary Accurate structural models of biological systems can be obtained by properly combining experimental data with a priori physico–chemical knowledge. Here we present PLUMED-ISDB, an open-source, freely-available module of the popular PLUMED library, which enables the simultaneous determination of structure and dynamics of conformationally heterogeneous systems by integrating experimental data with a priori information. This integration is achieved using metainference, a general Bayesian framework that accounts for both noise in the data and their ensemble-averaged nature. PLUMED-ISDB implements different types of experimental data, such as several NMR observables, FRET, SAXS and cryo-electron microscopy data, and enables modelling structure and dynamics of individual proteins, protein complexes, membrane proteins, RNA and DNA, using a variety of enhanced sampling methods and resolutions of the system. Availability and implementation PLUMED-ISDB is freely available at www.plumed.org. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

    الوصف: International audience; The biological functions of protein molecules are intimately contingent on their conformational dynamics. This aspect is particularly evident for disordered proteins, which constitute about one-third of the human proteome. Therefore, structural ensembles often offer more useful representations of proteins than individual conformations. Here, we describe how the well-established principles of protein structure determination should be extended to the case of protein structural ensembles determination. These principles concern primarily how to deal with conformationally heterogeneous states, and with experimental measurements that are averaged over such states and affected by a variety of errors. We first review the vast literature of recent methods that combine experimental and computational information to model structural ensembles, highlighting their similarities and differences. We then address some conceptual problems in the determination of structural ensembles and define future goals towards the establishment of objective criteria for the comparison, validation, visualization, and dissemination of such ensembles.
