Publication Abstract from PubMed Protegrin pore formation is believed to occur in a stepwise fashion that begins with a nonspecific peptide interaction with the negatively charged bacterial cell walls via hydrophobic and positively charged amphipathic surfaces. There are five known nature protegrins (PG1-PG5), and early studies of PG-1 (PDB ID:1PG1) shown that it could form antiparallel dimer in membrane mimicking environment which could be a first step for further oligomeric membrane pore formation. Later, we solved PG-2 (PDB ID:2MUH) and PG-3 (PDB ID:2MZ6) structures in the same environment and for PG-3 observed a strong dalphaalpha NOE effects between residues R18 and F12, V14, and V16. These "inconsistent" with monomer structure NOEs appears due to formation of an additional antiparallel beta-sheet between two monomers. It was also suggested that there is a possible association of protegrins dimers to form octameric or decameric beta-barrels in an oligomer state. In order to investigate a more detailed oligomerization process of protegrins, in the present article we report the monomer (PDB ID: 2NC7) and octamer pore structures of the protegrin-5 (PG-5) in the presence of DPC micelles studied by solution NMR spectroscopy. In contrast to PG-1, PG-2, and PG-3 studies, for PG-5 we observed not only dimer NOEs but also several additional NOEs between side chains, which allows us to calculate an octamer pore structure of PG-5 that was in good agreement with previous AFM and PMF data.
