摘要
Peptide T1-892 is a triple-helical peptide designed to include two distinct domains: a C-terminal (Gly-Pro-Hyp)(4) sequence, together with an N-terminal 18-residue sequence from the alpha1(I) chain of type I collagen. Folding experiments of T1-892 using CD spectroscopy were carried out at varying concentrations and temperatures, and fitting of kinetic models to the data was used to obtain information about the folding mechanism and to derive rate constants. Proposed models include a heterogeneous population of monomers with respect to cis-trans isomerization and a third-order folding reaction from competent monomer to the triple helix. Fitting results support a nucleation domain composed of all or most of the (Gly-Pro-Hyp)(4) sequence, which must be in trans form before the monomer is competent to initiate triple-helix formation. The folding of competent monomer to a triple helix is best described by an all-or-none third-order reaction. The temperature dependence of the third-order rate constant indicates a negative activation energy and provides information about the thermodynamics of the trimerization step. These CD studies complement NMR studies carried out on the same peptide at high concentrations, illustrating how the rate-limiting folding step is affected by changes in concentration. This sequence preference of repeating Gly-Pro-Hyp units for the initiation of triple-helix formation in peptide T1-892 may be related to features in the triple-helix folding of collagens.
