摘要:

α/β类蛋白的2种典型折叠类型为研究对象, 对205个低相似度蛋白样本中的π-π相互作用进行统计分析. 计算结果表明, (α/β)8-barrel折叠中π-π相互作用的分布密度高于经典Rossmann折叠, 且在关键的局部区域的差异更加显著; 芳香族氨基酸在(α/β)8-barrel结构中更容易形成π-π相互作用; 色氨酸对应的3种π-π相互作用组合在(α/β)8-barrel折叠中出现的几率显著高于经典Rossmann折叠; (α/β)8-barrel折叠中π-π相互作用形成复杂π网络的能力强于经典Rossmann折叠. 上述结果表明, π-π相互作用在α/β类蛋白的不同折叠类型中存在特异性, 其在稳定(α/β)8-barrel结构中的作用强于经典Rossmann折叠.

Abstract:

Protein folding study is one of the main ways to investigate structural stability and mechanism of proteins. π-π Interaction has been focused much attention on its role in the stability of protein structure and functions. In this paper, two typical protein folds of α/β protein were selected for the research, π-π interactions of 205 low similarity protein samples were statistically analyzed. The results showed that the distribution density of π-π interactions in (α/β)8-barrel fold was higher than those of classical Rossmann fold and the difference was more significant in the critical local area, aromatic amino acids easily form π-π interactions in (α/β)8-barrel, the three π-π interaction combinations corresponding to Trp appearing in (α/β)8-barrel were significantly higher than classic Rossmann and (α/β)8-barrel fold had greater ability to form complex π-network than classical Rossmann fold. In a word, π-π interactions in different folding types of α/β protein exist specificity. π-π Interaction effects the stability of (α/β)8-barrel stronger than the classical Rossmann.

Key words: (α/β)8-Barrel fold, Rossmann fold, π-π Interaction, π-Network, Non-classical interaction
