Allosteric Disulfide Bonds

Schmidt, Bryan, Ho, Lorraine, Hogg, Philip J.·2006·Biochemistry

Abstract

Disulfide bonds have been generally considered to be either structural or catalytic. Structural bonds stabilize a protein, while catalytic bonds mediate thiol-disulfide interchange reactions in substrate proteins. There is emerging evidence for a third type of disulfide bond that can control protein function by triggering a conformational change when it breaks and/or forms. These bonds can be thought of as allosteric disulfides. To better define the properties of allosteric disulfides, we have analyzed the geometry and dihedral strain of 6874 unique disulfide bonds in 2776 X-ray structures. A total of 20 types of disulfide bonds were identified in the dataset based on the sign of the five chi angles that make up the bond. The known allosteric disulfides were all contained in 1 of the 20 groups, the -RHStaple bonds. This bond group has a high mean potential energy and narrow energy distribution, which is consistent with a functional role. We suggest that the -RHStaple configuration is a hallmark of allosteric disulfides. About 1 in 15 of all structurally determined disulfides is a potential allosteric bond.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
