摘要

Design of helical super secondary structura1 motifs is expected to provide important scaffolds to incorporate functional sites, thus allowing the engineering of novel miniproteins with function. An α,β-dehydrophenylalanine containing 21-residue apo1ar peptide was designed to mimic the helical hairpin motif by using a simple geometrical design strategy. The synthetic peptide folds into the desired structure as assessed crystallographically at 1.0-A resolu- tion. The two helices of the helical-hairpin motif. connected by a flexible (GIy)4 linker. are docked to each other by the concerted influence of weak interactions. The folding of the peptide without binary patterning of amino acids, disulfide bonds. or metal ions is a remarkable observation. The results demonstrate that preferred interactions among the hydrophobic residues selectively discrimi- nate their putative partners in space, leading to the unique folding of the peptide. also a hallmark of the unique folding of hydropho- bic core in globular proteins. We demonstrate here the engineering of molecules by using weak interactions pointing to their possible further exploitation in the de novo design of protein super sec- ondary structural elements.
