Tolerance of a protein helix to multiple alanine and valine substitutions.


Abstract

Protein stability is influenced by the intrinsic secondary structure propensities of the amino acids and by tertiary interactions, but which of these factors dominates is not known in most cases. We have used combinatorial mutagenesis to examine the effects of substituting a good helix-forming residue (alanine) and a poor helix-forming residue (valine) at many positions in an alpha helix of a native protein. This has allowed us to average over many molecular environments and assess to what extent the results reflect intrinsic helical propensities or are masked by tertiary effects.
