Abstract
|
|
|
|
Twelve different single amino acid substitutions were made at the site of a temperature sensitive folding mutation, TsfU2 (Asp´-ss_Ser), of the phage P22 tailspike protein. Most of the substitutions except Pro and Arg did not affect folding and maturation of the tail-spike protein at 28 C. However, at 39 C only the wild type residue, Asp, and the Thr substitution allowed the formation of the tailspike trimers. The results suggest that a stereo-specific interaction of the residue 238 is required for the folding and maturation of the tailspike, which is critical for stabilizing the folding intermediate at high temperature.
