Overview

The hydrophobic core of vertebrate insulins contains an invariant, isoleucine residue at position A2. Lack of variation may reflect this, side-chain's dual contribution to structure and function: Ile(A2) is, proposed both to stabilize the A1-A8 alpha-helix and to contribute to a, "hidden" functional surface exposed on receptor binding. Substitution of, Ile(A2) by alanine results in segmental unfolding of the A1-A8, alpha-helix, lower thermodynamic stability and impaired receptor binding., Such a spectrum of perturbations, although of biophysical interest, confounds interpretation of structure-activity relationships. To, investigate the specific contribution of Ile(A2) to insulin's functional, surface, we have employed non-standard mutagenesis: inversion of, side-chain chirality in engineered monomer allo-Ile(A2)-DKP-insulin., Although the analogue retains native structure and stability, its affinity, for the insulin receptor is impaired by 50-fold. Thus, whereas insulin's, core readily accommodates allo-isoleucine at A2, its activity is, exquisitely sensitive to chiral inversion. We propose that the Ile(A2), side-chain inserts within a chiral pocket of the receptor as part of, insulin's hidden functional surface.
