摘要

The folding of membrane-spanning domains into their native functional forms depends on interactions between transmembrane(TM)helices joined by covalent loops.However,the importance of these covalent linker regions in mediating the strength of helix-helix associations has not been systematically addressed.Here we examine the potential structural impact of cystic fibrosis-phenotypic mutations in the extracellular loop 2(ECL2)on interactions between the TM3 and TM4 helices of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator(CFTR)in constructs containing CFTR residues 194- 241.When the effects of replacements in ECL2(including the CF-phenotypic mutants E217G and Q220R)were evaluated in a library of wild-type and mutant TM3-ECL2-TM4 hairpin constructs,we found that SDS-PAGE gel migration rates differed over a range of nearly 40% +/- the wild-type position and that decreased migration rates correlate with increasing hairpin alpha-helical content as measured by circular dichroism spectra in sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles.The decreased mobility of TM3/4 constructs by introduction of non-native residues is interpreted in terms of an elongation or "opening" of the helical hairpin and concomitant destabilization of membrane-based helix-helix interactions.Our results support a role for short loop regions in dictating the stability of membrane protein folds and highlight the interplay between membrane-embedded helix-helix interactions and loop conformation in influencing the structure of membrane proteins.
