Chapter 4: Proteins

Fibrous Proteins

Structure of Collagen

Significant Gly, Pro content

Skin, Tendons, Cartilage, Bones

Structure of Silk

Fibroin consists of layers of antiparallel B-sheets rich in Ala and Gly residues

The fibers in silk cloth and in a spider web are made up of the protein fibroin

Chemical Reduction of the Cystine

Reduce --> Curl --> Oxidize

Crosslinking Keratin Fibrils: to curl or not to curl

Structure of Hair

Keratin

Significant Cys content

Hair, Claws, Outer Epidermal Layer

Not Globular

Hydrophilic, but not soluble

Very tough- occur in skin, nails, cocoons

Long rope or sheet-like structures

Levels of Protein Structure

Quartenary Structure

Assembled subunits

Interactions between polypeptide chains

Tertiary Structure

Polypeptide chain

Independently Folding Regions (domains)

Distinct Interactions

Secondary Structure

B-turn

Type I occur 2x more frequently than Type II

Hydrogen bond between the peptide bonds of 1st and 4th residues

Type II have Gly in 3rd position

Glycine: small side chain allows for tight corners

Proline are preferred in 2nd position

Proline: conformationally restricted with fixed phi angle keeps turn rigid

B- sheet

Extended chains

Peptide chains align side-by-side

Parallel and Antiparallel

Amide groups Hydrogen bond

Extended peptide anions- pleated geometry

Planar peptide bonds are in the pleat

R-groups alternate (up, down, up, down..)

At Carbons are the apices

a- helix

Geometry

This allows for helix faces

Charged: helix with a string of similarly charged residues

Amphipathic: hydrophobic face and hydrophilic face

There are 3.6 residues per turn- roughly every 3rd to 4th residue will be on same face

All side chains point outward from core

Very compact structure

Stabilized by intramolecular Hydrogen bonds between peptide bonds

Peptide "backbone" is the core of the coil

R-groups protrude outwards

Right-handed twist

Chain is coiled like a spring

Local Interactions

Primary Structure

Ramachandran plot

Primary Structure dictates fold...but it's complicated

Proteins may fold in one environment, then move to another environment

Other proteins can help fold the protein

Proteins start to fold before they are completely made

Amino Acid Residue

Protein folding

Assume the native state is folded and is the most stable state

Why is the Native state more stable?

Denatured state is less stable

Noncovalent forces stabilize the native state relative to the unfolded state

Hydrophobic Interactions: Drive burial of hydrophobics in the protein interior

London Dispersion Forces: Between hydrophobic residues in the protein interior

Ionic Interactions: Acidic and Basic groups (e.g. Asp-Lys)

Hydrogen bonding: Inter- and Intramolecular Hydrogen bonds

Revised

Changing primary structure can change the energetics of folded state or the folding energy landscape

Some proteins require chaperones to fold

They help overcome energy barriers or alter salvation to change the folding landscape

Protein dynamics may play a crucial role in functions e.g. Histones!

Folded proteins may have many conformations. Proteins move!

"Native" structure is not always folded. Intrinsically Disordered Proteins!

Not random

Molten globule by a spontaneous hydrophobic collapse first, followed by formation of secondary structures

Hierarchic process in which local secondary structures form first, followed by hydrophobic collapse

Fast process

Protein Stability

Hydrophobic collapse drives the energetics of most protein folding

Denaturants

Chemicals

Urea

Heat

Denaturation

Spectral

Fluorescense

Circular Dichroism

Unfolding is cooperative

Protein Structure Determination

Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy

Chiral Centers

Secondary structures are unique arrangements of chiral centers leading to unique spectra

Unique absorption of circularly polarized light

Monitors protein structure by recognizing secondary structures

Differential absorption of circularly polarized light

NMR Spectroscopy

No direct image of protein is obtained, just a series of spatical constraints

Complicated

Only small proteins can be studied

Dynamics of protein-ligand interactions

Motional dynamics of whole molecule

Protein is in solution

Rate of recovery is related to the environment of the nucleus

After pulse- recover to original angle

Pulse of radio frequency resonant to precession frequency of nucleus: nucleus will flip to precess at different angle

In high strength magnetic field- unpaired nuclei process

Track nuclear spin on unpaired nuclei (1H, 13C (6 protons and 7 neuts), 19F (9 prots and 10 neuts))

X-Ray Crystallography

Disadvantages

Solution conditions are not "native"

Crystal contacts can distort important regions of proteins

Structure is static

Proteins must crystallize; not aqueous structure

Advantages

Large proteins and protein complexes

Very High resolution - 1.5 A

Diffraction pattern is used to construct a 3D arrangement of atoms

X-rays diffract off of electron clouds of C,N,S,O- but usually not H

Crystals are blasted with X-rays

Proteins are crystallized into 3-D lattices

Chromatography

Affinity Chromatography

PolyT

Elution: Free Thymine

Immobilized PolyT

Purpose: mRNA purification

His Tag

Elution: High imidazole in elution buffer

Imidazole chelates Ni 2+ on column, so His-tagged protein sticks on column

Proteins are engineered to have a His6 sequence

Ni 2+ is immobilized on column

Engineered into gene sequence

Ion Exchange Chromatography

Cation Exchange

Wash off impurities (-) and neutral impurities

Choose buffer so analyte is (+) charged

Cations stick to (-) charged column

Anion Exchange

Elute analyte with High salt or basic conditions (deprotonates analyte)

Wash off impurities (+) and neutral impurities

Equilibrate column then adsorb analyte to column

Choose buffer so analyte is (-) charged

Anion stick to (+) charged column

Size Exclusion Chromatography

Separates based on size

Exchanges buffer components between sample matrix and column buffer

No adhesion to the stationary phase

Large molecules are more often in flow path, so they elute first

Small molecules explore internal space and are out of flow path

Isopycnic Centrifugation
