The folding transition state between SH3 domains is conformationally restricted and evolutionarily conservedNature Structural Biology, 6
Delineating structures of the transition states in protein folding reactions has provided great insight into the mechanisms by which proteins fold. The most common method for obtaining this information is Φ‐value analysis, which is carried out by measuring the changes in the folding and unfolding rates caused by single amino acid substitutions at various positions within a given protein. Canonical Φ‐values range between 0 and 1, and residues displaying high values within this range are interpreted to be important in stabilizing the transition state structure, and to elicit this stabilization through native‐like interactions. Although very successful in defining the general features of transition state structures, Φ‐value analysis can be confounded when non‐native interactions stabilize this state. In addition, direct information on backbone conformation within the transition state is not provided. In the work described here, we have investigated structure formation at a conserved β‐bulge (with helical conformation) in the Fyn SH3 domain by characterizing the effects of substituting all natural amino acids at one position within this structural motif. By comparing the effects on folding rates of these substitutions with database‐derived local structure propensity values, we have determined that this position adopts a non‐native backbone conformation in the folding transition state. This result is surprising because this position displays a high and canonical Φ‐value of 0.7. This work emphasizes the potential role of non‐native conformations in folding pathways and demonstrates that even positions displaying high and canonical Φ‐values may, nevertheless, adopt a non‐native conformation in the transition state.
