Investigating the trade-off between folding and function in a multidomain Y-family DNA polymerase

Abstract: The way in which multidomain proteins fold has been a puzzling question for decades. Until now, the mechanisms and functions of domain interactions involved in multidomain protein folding have been obscure. Here, we develop structure-based models to investigate the folding and DNA-binding processes of the multidomain Y-family DNA polymerase IV (DPO4). We uncover shifts in folding mechanism among ordered domain-wise folding, backtracking folding, and cooperative folding, modulated by interdomain interactions. T… Show more

“… 13 It is worth noting that our previous simulations with single-basin one-bead SBMs generated only one peak on the heat capacity curve and resulted in sigmoidal-like melting curves. 14 16 The results suggest that the presence of the side chain bead and electrostatics in the SBM is critical to recapture the global folding behaviors of DPO4. 31 Due to the simplified interactions and the coarse-grained nature in the SBM, the simulation temperatures cannot directly correspond to the experimental ones.…”

“…Using its ultrasharp AFM tip, it is able not only to image nanoscale surface but also to manipulate a single molecule mechanically as single-molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) [8][9][10][11][12]. By stretching one molecule under defined coordination, SMFS can induce the conformational change of a molecule such as protein (un)folding [13][14][15], breaking a stable chemical bond as well as capturing important transient states [16][17][18][19][20][21]. For example, several metal-binding proteins have been studied by AFM-SMFS, in which the metal cluster is ruptured during protein unfolding [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29].…”
