Thermodynamic Analysis of Point Mutations Inhibiting High-Temperature Reversible Oligomerization of PDZ3

Abstract: Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) indicated that PDZ3 undergoes a peculiar thermal denaturation exhibiting two endothermic peaks due to the formation of reversible oligomers at high temperature (N↔I 6 ↔D). This contrasts sharply with the standard 2-state denaturation model observed for small, globular proteins. We performed an alanine scanning analysis by individually mutating three hydrophobic residues at the crystallographic oligomeric interface (Phe340, Leu342, Ile389) and one away from the interface … Show more

“…The absence of oligomers for the FD3A chimera suggests that FD3A preserves its one‐domain compact form and uses a different denaturation mechanism. It has been described that the PDZ3 oligomer intermediates are formed by interactions of PDZ β‐sheets 62 . Therefore, in the case of FD3A, a stable domain–domain interface between PDZ3 and TrpCage could be possibly preserved, and this could block the association of β‐sheets necessary to form the oligomeric intermediates.…”

“…The PDZ2 domain from the ZO-2 protein showed a T m around 40-50 C with an obvious protein concentration dependency. 61 In one of the previous studies, the T m of PDZ3 was estimated at a surprisingly high temperature of 72.58 C, 62 and the explanation of such high thermostability was provided as follows: the PDZ3 partially thermally unfolded intermediates form aggregates under native conditions, and they were detected by native-state hydrogen exchange experiments. It implies that two processes could take place during the thermal unfolding of the PDZ3 domain.…”

“…We called this state an RO state (Reversible Oligomer state; Nakamura et al 2012 ). The RO state has now been observed in native proteins and protein domains (Saotome et al 2016 , 2020 ; Onchaiya et al 2022 ), suggesting that the RO state is not just an artifact resulting from the addition of an artificial SCP tag.…”

“…The BSA of three hydrophobic residues (Phe340, Leu342, and Ile389) was markedly large, and that of Val328 was moderate. Based on our previously observed correlation between the large BSA and the appearance of the high-temperature RO [17][18], we individually mutated these four residues to alanine (Group 1). Additionally, three residues that were not buried upon oligomerization (BSA = 0) in the asymmetric unit (Val315, Leu349, and Val365) were selected for comparison (Group 2).…”
