- W2320062496 abstract "Trp-cage is a synthetic 20-residue miniprotein which folds rapidly and spontaneously to a well-defined globular structure more typical of larger proteins. Due to its small size and fast folding, it is an ideal model system for experimental and theoretical investigations of protein folding mechanisms. However, Trp-cage’s exact folding mechanism is still a matter of debate. Here we investigate Trp-cage’s relaxation dynamics in the amide I′ spectral region (1530–1700 cm–1) using time-resolved infrared spectroscopy. Residue-specific information was obtained by incorporating an isotopic label (13C═18O) into the amide carbonyl group of residue Gly11, thereby spectrally isolating an individual 310-helical residue. The folding–unfolding equilibrium is perturbed using a nanosecond temperature-jump (T-jump), and the subsequent re-equilibration is probed by observing the time-dependent vibrational response in the amide I′ region. We observe bimodal relaxation kinetics with time constants of 100 ± 10 and 770 ± 40 ns at 322 K, suggesting that the folding involves an intermediate state, the character of which can be determined from the time- and frequency-resolved data. We find that the relaxation dynamics close to the melting temperature involve fast fluctuations in the polyproline II region, whereas the slower process can be attributed to conformational rearrangements due to the global (un)folding transition of the protein. Combined analysis of our T-jump data and molecular dynamics simulations indicates that the formation of a well-defined α-helix precedes the rapid formation of the hydrophobic cage structure, implying a native-like folding intermediate, that mainly differs from the folded conformation in the orientation of the C-terminal polyproline II helix relative to the N-terminal part of the backbone. We find that the main free-energy barrier is positioned between the folding intermediate and the unfolded state ensemble, and that it involves the formation of the α-helix, the 310-helix, and the Asp9–Arg16 salt bridge. Our results suggest that at low temperature (T ≪ Tm) a folding path via formation of α-helical contacts followed by hydrophobic clustering becomes more important." @default.
