Circular Permutation of the Trp-cage: Fold Rescue upon Addition of a Hydrophobic Staple
| ||||||||||||
Structural highlights
Publication Abstract from PubMedThe Trp-cage, at 20 residues in length, is generally acknowledged as the smallest fully protein-like folding motif. Linking the termini by a two-residue unit and excising one residue affords circularly permuted sequences that adopt the same structure. This represents the first successful circular permutation of any fold of less than 50-residue length. As was observed for the original topology, a hydrophobic staple near the chain termini is required for enhanced fold stability.
