摘要

Isofunctional tetracycline repressor (TetR) proteins isolated from different bacteria show a sequence identity between 38 and 88% of the residues. Their active state is a homodimer formed by a four-(l-helix bundle as the main interaction motif. We utilize this sequence variation of isofunctional proteins to determine residues contributing to the stability of the four-helix bundle. The thermodynamic stabilities of two TetR proteins with 63% sequence identity were determined by urea-induced reversible jenaturation followed by fluorescence and circular dichroism. Both methods yield identical results. The Gou (H20) values are 60 and 75 kJ mol-l. We have constructed TetR hybrid proteins derived from these wild types to identify the determinant leading to the 15 kJ mol-l stability difference. Successive size reduction of the exchanged portion yielded two single residues affecting the overall protein stability. rhe P184Q exchange leads to a more stable protein, whereas the Gl81D exchange located at the solvent's ~xposed edge of the four-helix bundle is solely responsible for the reduced stability. Additional mutants )ased on crystal structures of TetR do not reveal any hint for steric interference of the Aspl81 side chain with neighboring residues. Thus, this is an example for the role played by surface-exposed turn residues For the stability of four-helix bundles. We assume that the larger conformational flexibility of Gly and the .eduction of the negative surface charge could favor formation of the .turn on the edge of the four-helix bundle.
