    Notes: A genetic screening procedure has been developed to identify mutant forms of bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) that can fold to an active conformation but are inactivated more rapidly than the wild type protein. Small cultures of Escherichia coli containing plasmids with mutagenized BPTI genes were grown in microtiter plates, lysed, and treated with dithiothreitol (DTT). Under these conditions, unfolding and inactivation of wild-type protein has a half-time of about 10 hours. Variants of BPTI that are inactivated within 1 hour were identified by adding trypsin and a chromogenic substrate. Approximately 11,000 mutagenized clones were screened in this way and 75 clones that produce proteins that can fold but are inactivated by DTT were isolated. The genes coding for 68 “DTT-sensitive” mutant proteins were sequenced, and 25 different single amino acid substitutions at 15 of the 58 residues of the protein were identified. Most of the altered residues are largely buried in the core of the naive wild-type structure and are highly conserved among proteins homologous to BPTI. These results indicate that a large fraction of the sequence of the protein contributes to the kinetic stability of the active conformation, but it also appears that substitutions can be tolerated a most sites without completely preventing folding Because this genetics, further studies of the isolated mutants are expected to provide information about the roles of the altered residues in folding and unfolding.

    Notes: Structures have been determined of Bacillus stearothermophilus “apo” and holo lactate dehydrogenase. The holo-enzyme had been co-crystallized with the activator fructose 1,6-biosphosphate. The “apo” lactate dehydrogenase structure was solved by use of the known apo-M4 dogfish lactate dehydrogenase molecule as a starting model. Phases were refined and extended from 4 Å resolution by means of the noncrystallographic molecular 222 symmetry. The R-factor was reduced to 28.7%, using 2.8 Å resolution data, in a restrained least-squares refnement in which the molecula rsymmetry was imposed as a constraint. A low occupancy of coenzyme was found in each of the four subunits of the “apo” enzyme.Further refinement proceeded with the isomorphous holo-enzyume from Bacillus Stearothermophilus. After removing the noncrystallographic constraints, the R-factor dropped from 30.3% to a final value of 26.0% with a 0.019 Å and 1.7° r.m.s. deviation from idealized bond length and angles, respectively.Two sulfate ions per subunit were included in the final model of the “apo” -from-one at the substrate binding site and one close to the molecular P -axis near the location of the fructose 1,6-bisphosphate activator. The final model of the holo-enzyme incorporated two sulfate ions per subunit, one at the substrate binding site and another close to the R-axis. One nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide coenzyme molecule per subunit and two fructose 1,6-bisphosphate molecules per tetramer were also included. The phosphate positions of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate are close to the sulfate ion near the P-axis in the “apo” model.This structure represents the first reported refined model of an allosteric activated lactate dehydrogenase. The structure of the activated holo-enzyme showed far greater similarity to the ternary complex of dogfish M4 lactate dehydrogenase with incotinamide adenine dinucleotide and oxamate than to apo-M4 dogfish lactate dehydrogenase. The conformations of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and fructose, 1,6-bisphosphate were also analyzed.

    Notes: The EcoRI restriction endonuclease is one of the most widely used tools for recombinant DNA manipulations. Because the EcoRI enzyme has been extremely well characterized biochemically and its structure is known at 3 Å resolution as an enzyme-DNA complex, EcoRI also serves as an important model of DNA-protein interactions. To facilitate a genetic analysis of the EcoRI enzyme, we devised an in vivo DNA scission assay based on our finding that DNA double-strand breaks induce the Escherichia coli SOS response and thereby increase β-galactosidase expression from SOS::lacZ gene fusions. By site-directed mutagenesis, 50 of 60 possible point mutations were generated at three amino acids (E144, R145, and R200) implicated in substrate recognition by the crystal structure. Although several of these mutant enzymes retain partial endonuclease activity, none are altered in substrate specificity in vivo or in vitro. These findings argue that, in addition to the hydrogen bond interactions revealed by the crystal structure, the EcoRI enzyme must make additional contacts to recognize its substrate.

    Notes: Crystals of troponin are stabilized by an intermolecular interaction that involves the packing of helix A from the N-terminal domain of one molecule onto the exposed hydrophobic cleft of the C-terminal domain of a symmetry related molecules. Analysis of this molecular recognition interaction in troponin C suggests a possible mode for the binding of amphiphilic helical molecules to troponin C and to calmodulin. From the template provided by this troponin C packing, it has been possible to build a model of the contact region of mastoporan as it might be bound to the two Ca2+ binding proteins. A possible binding mode of melittin to calmodulin is also proposed. Although some of the characteristics of binding are similar for the two amphiphilic peptides, the increased length of melittin requires a significant bend in the calmodulin central helix similar to that suggested recently for the myosin light chain kinase calmodulin binding peptide (Persechini and Kretsinger: Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology 12:501-512, 1988). Not only are the hydrophobic interactions important in this model, but there are several favorable electrostatic interactions that are predicted as a result of the molecular modeling. The regions of troponin-C and calmodulin to which amphiphilic helices bind are similar to the regions to which the neuroleptic drugs such as trifluoperazine have been predicted to bind (Strynadka and James: Proteins 3:1-17, 1988).

    Notes: The 8-old parallel α/β-barrel topology is encountered in proteins that display an impressive variety of functions, suggesting that this topology may be a rather nonspecific and stable folding motif. Consequently, this motif can be considered as an interesting framework to design novel proteins. It has been shown that the shape of the β-sheet portion of the barrel can be approximated by a hyperboloid. This geometric object may therefore be used as a scaffold to construct an idealized eight-standard β-barrel. To facilitate the de novo design of such structures, a collection of modelling tools has been developed allowing secondary structure elements to be mapped onto the scaffold surface and rotation and translation operations to be performed about user defined axes while evaluating their contribution to the conformational energy of the system. These tools have been applied in a systematic study assessing the φ, ψ requirements to design symmetric eight standard β barrels with optimal hydrogen bonding between adjacent β-strands. It is observed that: (a) the β-sheet structure can be closed without introducing irregular stagger between β-strands and (b) the region of φ, ψ dihedral angle space compatible with the formation of regular symmetric eight standard β-barrels coincides with the φ, ψ region corresponding to average β-strands in known protein structures, suggesting that barrel closure does not impose gross constraints on β-strand geometry.

    Notes: A system has been developed or the expression in E. coli of 12 of the 14 expressed mouse submandibular gland kallikreins as cassettes subcloned directly from cDNA. Using the epidermal growth factor binding protein (mGK-9) and the γ-subunit of nerve growth factor (nGK)-3, as test cases, mature processed forms, obtained as functionally active proteins, as well as various precursor forms, were isolated. The expression system described allows rapid isolation of kallikrein protein from corresponding cDNA with yields of approximately 1.0 mg of purified protein from 10 g of initial cell paste. This expression system will facilitate structure/function studies of the mouse glandular kallikrein gene family and help elucidate the regions of the mature proteins responsible for the diverse catalytic behavior and growth factors interactions observed in this family of proteins.

    Notes: A program is described which generates hydrogen bonding diagrams of protein structures and optionally helical wheels and helical nets. The program can also be used simply to calculate the connectivities of β-strands and to automatically extract simple structural motifs such as hairpins or Greek keys. The program greatly reduces the effort required to produce these diagrams and offers considerable flexibility in the information which can be represented. The usefulness of the program is illustrated by several examples including comparing homologous families, correlating protein structure with attributes of individual residues, and extracting all examples of the ψ-loop motif from the Brookhaven Data Bank.

    Notes: A number of peroxidase amino acid sequences show limited homology to short regions comprising the known active site cleft of yeast cytochrome c peroxidase. Otherwise no clear homology is visible in linear alignments between this enzyme and other peroxidases. We have subjected eight peroxidase sequences to hydrophobic cluster analysis. Our results suggest that these peroxidases are evolutionary related and that they share many folding characteristics.
