Protein-protein interactions (PPI) mediate most major processes in the cell. Despite the crowded cellular environment, proteins maintain a high degree of specificity in their interactions. For this, proteins evolved to balance between the ability to bind the desired partners while rejecting all other proteins. | Protein-protein interactions (PPI) mediate most major processes in the cell.

| - | Here, we address the question of the sequence distance to generate new binding. In other words, how many mutations have to be inserted into a protein so that it will bind a given partner. For this we generated a random library of TEM1-β-lactamase mutant proteins displayed on yeast and selected the library to bind TEM1 wild-type. We found that three mutations were sufficient to develop a <scene name='76/763767/Cv/ | + | Here, we address the question of the sequence distance to generate new binding.

For this we generated a random library of TEM1-β-lactamase mutant proteins displayed on yeast and selected the library to bind TEM1 wild-type. We found that three mutations were sufficient to develop a <scene name='76/763767/Cv/19'>de-novo protein interaction</scene> (see Table below). The position of each of the selected mutations is represented as orange sticks on the TEM1-WT scaffold (PDB [[1jtg]] chain A). |

The X-ray structure of the complex formed between the mutant TEM1 (termed T1 G268A) and TEM1 wild-type showed the two proteins to be related by a <scene name='76/763767/Cv/28'>pseudo-two-fold symmetry axis</scene>. The interface is comprised of strand 2 from both proteins forming a <scene name='76/763767/Cv/11'>continuous β-sheet</scene>, which spans to strand 1 and forms a <scene name='76/763767/Cv/13'>perfect backbone hydrogen bond network</scene>. The most surprising feature of the complex is that helix 1 of T1 G268A is completely missing in the density map. <scene name='76/763767/Cv/18'>Overlaying TEM1-WT onto T1 G268A</scene> shows that a properly folded N'-helix in T1 G268A would physically interfere with the interaction, making complex formation impossible. <scene name='76/763767/Cv/33'>The T1 G268 interface on TEM1-WT does not overlay the BLIP binding site (1jtg), allowing for both to bind simultaneously</scene>. |

Analysis of the <scene name='76/763767/Cv/ | + | A closer look at the three mutations evolved during selection shows that two of them (E37K and E58V) are important in stabilizing the N'-helix in its position. Analysis of the <scene name='76/763767/Cv/20'>WT structure</scene> ([[1btl]]) shows that <scene name='76/763767/Cv/21'>E37 forms an intra-protein salt bridge with R61</scene>, which in turn <scene name='76/763767/Cv/22'>interacts with E64</scene>, which <scene name='76/763767/Cv/23'>interacts with R43</scene>. <scene name='76/763767/Cv/27'>E58 interacts with the NH2-terminus of TEM1-WT</scene>. Therefore, loosing E37 and E58 will destabilize the N'- helix, as indeed seen in the <scene name='76/763767/Cv/28'>T1 structure</scene>. The two additional selected mutations, K32 and A36 in some of the clones probably also contribute to destabilization of the N'helix. The only selected mutation located directly in the binding interface is E58V, which is present in all four selected clones. <scene name='76/763767/Cv/29'>E58V forms hydrophobic contacts with L30 and F60 of the other chain</scene>. The structure implies that the formed interaction would be very specific between the evolved mutants and TEM1-WT. The structure of the complex shows that one copy of the <scene name='76/763767/Cv/30'>N'-helix is important in stabilizing the interaction</scene> between the two proteins. Hence the WT cannot dimerize since the N'-helix physically interferes with the interaction while the selected TEM1 proteins are missing a folded N'-helix. A detailed map of the interactions formed between the two proteins is presented in the figure below. |
