摘要:

背景:神经元钙传感蛋白参与多种生理功能,在大脑皮质不同脑区都有很高的分布。在自闭症患者基因测序中识别出神经元钙传感蛋白第102个氨基酸精氨酸ARG102突变成谷氨酰胺Glu102(R102Q)。实验研究显示,R102Q突变对神经元钙传感蛋白局部区域影响很大,发生本质性的构象改变。
目的:确定神经元钙传感蛋白单一氨基酸R102Q突变引起结构构象动力学变化的具体原因。
方法:采用计算机分子动力学模拟的方法,进行6个独立的、模拟时间是450 ns的全原子动力学模拟。
结果与结论:①神经元钙传感蛋白R102Q突变对蛋白整体结构影响不大,在整个模拟过程中都没有进行大的构象重组,但导致螺旋改变,结构更加稳定。②R102Q突变导致盐桥网络发生改变,一方面降低了L2的柔性,使其更加稳定;另一方面改变L3在疏水口袋中的位置,使其在疏水口袋中更加舒展。结果表明,螺旋在蛋白结构稳定中起到一定的作用,盐桥改变也是蛋白动力学变化的重要原因。这项研究可能从分子的层面和结构的视角,为与R102Q突变有关的蛋白质功能缺失提供理论参考。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Neuronal calcium sensor-1 protein has a variety of different neuronal functions and has a high distribution in different areas of the brain. A single residue R102Q mutation in human neuronal calcium sensor-1 protein is demonstrated to be associated with autism disease. The experiment studies have reported that this R102Q mutant has essential conformation changes in local area of the neuronal calcium sensor-1.
OBJECTIVE: To well understand the specific reasons of the R102Q mutation of the neuronal calcium sensor-1 to the conformational dynamic changes.
METHODS: Six independent extensive all-atom molecule dynamic simulations during 0-450 ns were conducted.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: We have found that (1) there is no obvious recombination during the simulations between wild type and mutant type, but R102Q mutant alters the helix and makes the structure of the protein more stable; (2) R102Q mutation alters the salt bridges, reduces the flexibility of L2, and makes L3 extend in hydrophobic crevice. These results reveal that the helix plays an important role in the structural stability, and salt bridge is the important reason for the dynamic changes of neuronal calcium sensor-1 protein. This study may provide a structural insight into the function of protein deficiency associated with R102Q mutant.
