Non-attendance at general practices and outpatient clinics: Local systems are needed to address local problems
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Tandem-repeat proteins comprise small secondary structure motifs that stack to form one-dimensional arrays with distinctive mechanical properties that are proposed to direct their cellular functions. Here, we use single-molecule optical tweezers to study the folding of consensus-designed tetratricopeptide repeats (CTPRs) — superhelical arrays of short helix-turn-helix motifs. We find that CTPRs display a spring-like mechanical response in which individual repeats undergo rapid equilibrium fluctuations between folded and unfolded conformations. We rationalise the force response using Ising models and dissect the folding pathway of CTPRs under mechanical load, revealing how the repeat arrays form from the centre towards both termini simultaneously. Strikingly, we also directly observe the protein’s superhelical tertiary structure in the force signal. Using protein engineering, crystallography and single-molecule experiments, we show how the superhelical geometry can be altered by carefully placed amino-acid substitutions and examine how these sequence changes affect intrinsic repeat stability and inter-repeat coupling. Our findings provide the means to dissect and modulate repeat-protein stability and dynamics, which will be essential for researchers to understand the function of natural repeat proteins and to exploit artificial repeats proteins in nanotechnology and biomedical applications. Significance statement Repetition of biological building blocks is crucial to modulating and diversifying structure and function of biomolecules across all organisms. In tandem-repeat proteins, the linear arrangement of small structural motifs leads to the formation of striking supramolecular shapes. Using a combination of single-molecule biophysical techniques and modelling approaches, we dissect the spring-like nature of a designed repeat protein and demonstrate how its shape and mechanics can be manipulated by design. These novel insights into the biomechanical and biochemical characteristics of this protein class give us a methodological basis from which to understand the biological functions of repeat proteins and to exploit them in nanotechnology and biomedicine.

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.
