To investigate the structural role of F175, we characterized the variant mouse prion protein mPrP[F175A](121-231). The NMR solution structure represents a typical PrP(C)-fold, and it contains a 3(10)-helical beta2-alpha2 loop conformation, which is well defined because all amide group signals in this loop are observed at 20 degrees C. With this "rigid-loop PrP(C)" behavior, mPrP[F175A](121-231) differs from the previously studied mPrP[Y169A](121-231), which contains a type I beta-turn beta2-alpha2 loop structure. When compared to other rigid-loop variants of mPrP(121-231), mPrP[F175A](121-231) is unique in that the thermal unfolding temperature is lowered by 8 degrees C. These observations enable further refined dissection of the effects of different single-residue exchanges on the PrP(C) conformation and their implications for the PrP(C) physiological function.
