Abstract

In the presence of spermidine, the DNA molecule of the bacteriophage lambda undergoes a coil-globule transition. We report here that the cyclization of this molecule in its globular state is greatly accelerated (by more than 10(4)-fold) in comparison with the cyclization reaction taking place in the coil conformation.

Thermodynamic analysis of the structural stability of phage 434 Cro protein.

Thermodynamic parameters describing the phage 434 Cro protein have been determined by calorimetry and, independently, by far-UV circular dichroism (CD) measurements of isothermal urea denaturations and thermal denaturations at fixed urea concentrations. These equilibrium unfolding transitions are adequately described by the two-state model. The far-UV CD denaturation data yield average temperature-independent values of 0.99 +/- 0.10 kcal mol(-)(1) M(-)(1) for m and 0.98 +/- 0.05 kcal mol(-)(1) K(-)(1) for DeltaC(p)()(,U), the heat capacity change accompanying unfolding. Calorimetric data yield a temperature-independent DeltaC(p)()(,U) of 0.95 +/- 0.30 kcal mol(-)(1) K(-)(1) or a temperature-dependent value of 1.00 +/- 0.10 kcal mol(-)(1) K(-)(1) at 25 degrees C. DeltaC(p)()(,U) and m determined for 434 Cro are in accord with values predicted using known empirical correlations with structure. The free energy of unfolding is pH-dependent, and the protein is completely unfolded at pH 2.0 and 25 degrees C as judged by calorimetry or CD. The stability of 434 Cro is lower than those observed for the structurally similar N-terminal domain of the repressor of phage 434 (R1-69) or of phage lambda (lambda(6)(-)(85)), but is close to the value reported for the putative monomeric lambda Cro. Since a protein's structural stability is important in determining its intracellular stability and turnover, the stability of Cro relative to the repressor could be a key component of the regulatory circuit controlling the levels and, consequently, the functions of the two proteins in vivo.

Two-dimensional IR correlation spectroscopy: sequential events in the unfolding process of the lambda cro-V55C repressor protein.

A question often posed in protein folding/unfolding studies is whether the process is fully cooperative or whether it contains sequential elements. To address this question, one needs tools capable of resolving different events. It seems that, at least in certain cases, two-dimensional (2D) IR correlation spectroscopy can provide answers to this question. To illustrate this point, we have turned to the Cro-V55C dimer of the lambda Cro repressor, a protein known to undergo thermal unfolding in two discrete steps through a stable equilibrium intermediate. The secondary structure of this intermediate is compatible with that of a partially unfolded protein and involves a reorganization of the N terminus, whereas the antiparallel beta-ribbon formed by the C-terminal part of each subunit remains largely intact. To establish whether the unfolding process involves sequential events, we have performed a 2D correlation analysis of IR spectra recorded over the temperature range of 20-95 degrees C. The 2D IR correlation analysis indeed provides evidence for a sequential formation of the stable intermediate, which is created in three (closely related) steps. A first step entails the unfolding of the short N-terminal beta-strand, followed by the unfolding of the alpha-helices in a second step, and the third step comprises the reorganization of the remaining beta-sheet and of some unordered segments in the protein. The complete unfolding of the stable intermediate at higher temperatures also undergoes sequential events that ultimately end with the breaking of the H bonds between the two beta-strands at the dimer interface.

Histidine modification and mutagenesis point to the involvement of a large conformational change in the mechanism of action of phage lambda lysozyme.

Phage lambda lysozyme (lambdaL) is structurally related to other known lysozymes but its mechanism of action is different from the classical lysozyme mechanism, acting as a transglycosidase rather than a hydrolase. As two conformations have been revealed by the crystal structure, we investigated the effect of mutating and modifying a histidine located near to or far from the active site in the respective closed and open conformations. Whereas its asparagine mutation has little or no effect on activity, its N-carbethoxylation inactivates the enzyme. This provide further evidence for the involvement of the closed conformation and for the need of conformational mobility in lambdaL function.
