摘要

Genetic diversity leads to protein robustness, adaptability, and failure. Some sequence variants are structurally robust but functionally disturbed because mutations bring the protein onto unfolding/refolding routes resulting in misfolding diseases (e.g., Parkinson). We assume dynamic perturbations introduced by mutations foster the alternative unfolding routes and test this possibility by comparing the unfolding dynamics of the heat-labile enterotoxin B pentamers and the cholera toxin B pentamers, two pentamers structurally and functionally related and robust to 17 sequence variations. The B-subunit thermal unfolding dynamics are monitored by broadband dielectric spectroscopy in nanoconfined and weakly hydrated conditions. Distinct dielectric signals reveal the different B-subunits unfolding dynamics. Combined with network analyses, the experiments pinpoint the role of three mutations A1T, E7D, and E102A, in diverting LTB5 to alternative unfolding routes that protect LTB5 from dissociation. Altogether, the methodology diagnoses dynamics faults that may underlie functional disorder, drug resistance, or higher virulence of sequence variants.
