Backbone-backbone hydrogen bonds are ubiquitous in native protein structures. The contribution of these non-covalent interactions to protein folding and stability is not well understood. This work describes the total chemical synthesis of a number of analogues of 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase (4OT) that contain backbone amide-to-ester mutations at specific positions in the protein's polypeptide chain. These analogues were designed to delete specific backbone-backbone hydrogen bonding interactions from the native 4OT hexamer. The biophysical properties of these analogues were assayed and compared in order to address the importance of backbone-backbone hydrogen bonding in the folding, association, stability, and function of 4OT.

520 $a Backbone-backbone hydrogen bonds are ubiquitous in native protein structures. The contribution of these non-covalent interactions to protein folding and stability is not well understood. This work describes the total chemical synthesis of a number of analogues of 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase (4OT) that contain backbone amide-to-ester mutations at specific positions in the protein's polypeptide chain. These analogues were designed to delete specific backbone-backbone hydrogen bonding interactions from the native 4OT hexamer. The biophysical properties of these analogues were assayed and compared in order to address the importance of backbone-backbone hydrogen bonding in the folding, association, stability, and function of 4OT.
520 $a Described here is the first detailed biophysical characterization of the folding and thermodynamic stability of 4OT, which is a new model system for protein folding studies. GuHCl-induced equilibrium unfolding data obtained on 4OT at pH 8.5 is well modeled by a two-state unfolding process involving folded hexamer and unfolded monomer. At pH 8.5, the hexamer is stabilized by 68.3 +/- 3.2 kcal · mol-1 relative to unfolded monomer. In contrast, GuHCl-induced equilibrium unfolding data obtained at lower pH are consistent with a multi-state unfolding process involving a catalytically inactive, partially folded intermediate. This intermediate can be isolated at pH 4.8. GuHCl-induced equilibrium unfolding experiments at this pH confirmed that the intermediate state is a highly structured 4OT dimer that is stabilized by 11.7 +/- 0.1 kcal · mol-1 .
520 $a Sixteen backbone amide-to-ester mutations were systematically incorporated into the polypeptide chain of 4OT in order to delete specific backbone-backbone hydrogen bonds from the alpha-helix and beta-sheet regions of the native hexamer. Comparative analyses of the properties of these analogues revealed the following: (1) amide-to-ester mutations located in similar positions and chemical environments in the beta-sheet of 4OT destabilized the hexamer to the same degree; (2) amide-to-ester mutations near the center of the alpha-helix and beta-sheet destabilized the hexamer more than mutations near the ends of the alpha-helix and beta-sheet; and (3) amide-to-ester mutations at certain positions affect the relative populations of species that are present at equilibrium. The thermodynamic effects of these amide-to-ester mutations help to define the contribution of backbone-backbone hydrogen bonds to protein folding reactions.
