Beta Sheets B. Common motifsV.Cytochrome cVI. Proteins Current LectureB (Beta) Sheets- The side chains alternate from one side of the Beta strand to the other side- Both stands have a right-handed twist- Reverse turnso Type I Beta turn The structure is stabilized by a hydrogen bond between the carbonyl oxygen of the first N-terminal residue (Phe) and the amide hydrogen of the fourth residue (Gly) Note that the proline residue at position n+1 o Type II Beta turn This turn is also stabilized by a hydrogen bond between the carbonyl oxygen of the first N-terminal residue (Val) and the amide hydrogen of the fourth residue (Asn)Common motifs:- Arrows indicate the N- to C- terminal direction of the peptide bond- Helix-loop-helix- Coiled coil- Helix bundle- BaB unit (beta-alpha-beta)- Hairpin- Beta meander- Greek key- Beta-SandwichCytochrome c- Tuna cytochrome c bound to heme- Tuna cytochrome c polypeptide chain- Rice cytochrome c- Yeast cytochrome c- Bacterial cytochrome cSimilar amino acid sequences give similar 3D structures! - Enzymes with related functions often have similar structuresHuman serum albumin- Examples of tertiary structure in selected proteins- This protein has several domains consisting of layered alpha helices and helix bundles Jack bean concanavalin A- This carbohydrate-binding protein is a single-domain protein (lectin) made up of a large Beta-Sandwich foldJellyfish green fluorescent protein- This is a Beta-Barrel structure with a central alpha helix. The stands are anti-parallel. E. coli flavodoxin- The fold is a five-stranded parallel twisted sheet surrounded by alpha helicesCommon Domain folds:- Parallel twisted sheet- Beta Barrel- Alpha/Beta Barrel- Beta helix*Table 4.1 in textbookHomooligomers: made up of the same sub-unitsHeterooligomers: made up of different sub-unitsHIV-1 aspartic protease- Quaternary structure- This protein has two identical all-Beta subunits that bind symmetrically- Knowledge of the structure of the enzyme greatly accelerated development of therapeutic compounds Stretomyces potassium channel protein:- Quaternary structure- This membrane-bound protein has four identical subunitsBacterial flagellum- a protein machine composed of 21 core subunits found in all species- Two additional subunits are missing in Firmicutes and five others are sporadically distributed Consider a simple interaction between two proteins, P1 and P2:P1+P2 P1:P2The equilibrium constant for this reaction, which is an association is:Ka=
