Crystal Structure of the redesigned protein G variant NuG2
Overview
We recently described two protein G variants (NuG1 and NuG2) with, redesigned first hairpins that were almost twice as stable, folded, 100-fold faster, and had a switched folding mechanism relative to the, wild-type protein. To test the structural accuracy of our design algorithm, and to provide insights to the dramatic changes in the kinetics and, thermodynamics of folding, we have now determined the crystal structures, of NuG1 and NuG2 to 1.8 A and 1.85 A, respectively. We find that they, adopt hairpin structures that are closer to the computational models than, to wild-type protein G; the RMSD of the NuG1 hairpin to the design model, and the wild-type structure are 1.7 A and 5.1 A, respectively. The, crystallographic B factor in the redesigned first hairpin of NuG1 is, systematically higher than the second hairpin, suggesting that the, redesigned region is somewhat less rigid. A second round of, structure-based design yielded new variants of NuG1 and NuG2, which are, further stabilized by 0.5 kcal/mole and 0.9 kcal/mole.
