Multiple folding pathways of the SH3 domain.
Experimental observations suggest that proteins follow different folding pathways under different environmental conditions. We perform molecular dynamics simulations of a model of the c-Crk SH3 domain over a broad range of temperatures, and identify distinct pathways in the folding transition. We determine the kinetic partition temperature-the temperature for which the c-Crk SH3 domain undergoe...
متن کاملParallel folding pathways in the SH3 domain protein.
The transition-state ensemble (TSE) is the set of protein conformations with an equal probability to fold or unfold. Its characterization is crucial for an understanding of the folding process. We determined the TSE of the src-SH3 domain protein by using extensive molecular dynamics simulations of the Go model and computing the folding probability of a generated set of TSE candidate conformatio...
متن کاملFolding dynamics of the src SH3 domain.
The thermodynamics and kinetics of folding of the chicken src SH3 domain were characterized using equilibrium and stopped-flow fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) hydrogen exchange experiments. As found for other SH3 domains, guanidinium chloride (GdmCl) denaturation melts followed by both fluorescence and circular dichroism were nearly superimposable, in...
متن کاملMultiple folding pathways for the P4-P6 RNA domain.
We recently described site-specific pyrene labeling of RNA to monitor Mg(2+)-dependent equilibrium formation of tertiary structure. Here we extend these studies to follow the folding kinetics of the 160-nucleotide P4-P6 domain of the Tetrahymena group I intron RNA, using stopped-flow fluorescence with approximately 1 ms time resolution. Pyrene-labeled P4-P6 was prepared using a new phosphoramid...
متن کاملDominant folding pathways of a WW domain.
We investigate the folding mechanism of the WW domain Fip35 using a realistic atomistic force field by applying the Dominant Reaction Pathways approach. We find evidence for the existence of two folding pathways, which differ by the order of formation of the two hairpins. This result is consistent with the analysis of the experimental data on the folding kinetics of WW domains and with the resu...
