1 CHAPTER 3 Amino Acids, Peptides, Proteins Learning goals: Structure and naming of amino acids Structure and properties of peptides Ionization behavior of amino acids and peptides Methods to characterize peptides and proteins

2 Proteins: Main Agents of Biological Function Catalysis enolase (in the glycolytic pathway) DNA polymerase (in DNA replication) Transport hemoglobin (transports O 2 in the blood) lactose permease (transports lactose across the cell membrane) Structure collagen (connective tissue) keratin (hair, nails, feathers, horns) Motion myosin (muscle tissue) actin (muscle tissue, cell motility)

3 Amino Acids: Building Blocks of Protein Proteins are linear heteropolymers of -amino acids Amino acids have properties that are well-suited to carry out a variety of biological functions Capacity to polymerize Useful acid-base properties Varied physical properties Varied chemical functionality

4 Amino acids share many features, differing only at the R substituent

5 Most -amino acids are chiral The -carbon always has four substituents and is tetrahedral All (except proline) have: an acidic carboxyl group a basic amino group an -hydrogen connected to the -carbon The fourth substituent (R) is unique In glycine, the fourth substituent is also hydrogen

6 Amino Acids: Atom Naming Organic nomenclature: start from one end Biochemical designation: start from -carbon and go down the R-group

7 All amino acids are chiral (except glycine) Proteins only contain L amino acids

8 Amino Acids: Classification Common amino acids can be placed in five basic groups depending on their R substituents: Nonpolar, aliphatic (7) Aromatic (3) Polar, uncharged (5) Positively charged (3) Negatively charged (2)

9 A number representing its hydrophilic or hydrophobic properties. The larger the number is, the more hydrophobic amino acid.

10 Hydrophobic A, V, L, I : cluster 형성경향 : Hydrophobic interaction G : the simplest one M : sulfur-containing P : a cyclic amino acid

11 These amino acid side chains absorb UV light at nm

12 sulfhydryl group hydroxyl group amide group N Q These amino acids side chains can form hydrogen bonds. Cysteine can form disulfide bonds.

13 amino group imidazole group K R guanidinium group K, R : nuclear localization signal H : facilitate many enzyme-catalyzed reactions by serving as proton donor/acceptor

14 carboxyl group D E

15 Uncommon Amino Acids in Proteins Not incorporated by ribosomes except for Selenocysteine Arise by post-translational modifications of proteins Reversible modifications, especially phosphorylation, are important in regulation and signaling

16 Modified Amino Acids Found in Proteins a derivative of proline : plant cell wall protein, collagen fiber a derivative of 4 lysine : 섬유단백질 elastin a derivative of lysine : collagen fiber a derivative of lysine : myosin ( 근육수축단백질 ) a derivative of glutamate : prothrombin ( 혈액응고단백질 ) 합성중에형성 S 대신 selenium a derivative of serine

17 Reversible Modifications of Amino Acids

18 Ionization of Amino Acids At acidic ph, the carboxyl group is protonated and the amino acid is in the cationic form. At neutral ph, the carboxyl group is deprotonated but the amino group is protonated. The net charge is zero; such ions are called Zwitterions. At alkaline ph, the amino group is neutral NH 2 and the amino acid is in the anionic form.

19 Cation Zwitterion Anion

20 Chemical Environment Affects pk a Values -carboxy group is much more acidic than in carboxylic acids -amino group is slightly less basic than in amines

21 Amino acids can act as buffers Amino acids with uncharged side chains, such as glycine, have two pk a values: The pk a of the -carboxyl group is 2.34 The pk a of the -amino group is 9.6 It can act as a buffer in two ph regimes.

22 Buffer Regions

23 Amino acids carry a net charge of zero at a specific ph (the pi) Zwitterions predominate at ph values between the pk a values of the amino and carboxyl groups For amino acids without ionizable side chains, the Isoelectric Point (equivalence point, pi) is pk 1 pk pi 2 2 At this point, the net charge is zero AA is least soluble in water AA does not migrate in electric field

24 Ionizable side chains can show up in titration curves Ionizable side chains can be also titrated Titration curves are now more complex pk a values are discernable if two pk a values are more than two ph units apart Why is the side chain pk a so much higher?

25

26

27 How to Calculate the pi When the Side Chain is Ionizable Identify species that carries a net zero charge Identify pk a value that defines the acid strength of this zwitterion: (pk 2 ) Identify pk a value that defines the base strength of this zwitterion: (pk 1 ) Take the average of these two pk a values

28 Formation of Peptides Peptides are small condensation products of amino acids They are small compared to proteins (M w < 10 kda)

29 Peptide ends are not the same Numbering (and naming) starts from the amino terminus AA 1 AA 2 AA 3 AA 4 AA 5

30 Naming peptides: start at the N-terminus Using full amino acid names Serylglycyltyrosylalanylleucine Using the three-letter code abbreviation Ser-Gly-Tyr-Ala-Leu For longer peptides (like proteins) the oneletter code can be used SGYAL

31 Peptides: A Variety of Functions Hormones and pheromones insulin (think sugar) oxytocin (think childbirth) sex-peptide (think fruit fly mating) Neuropeptides substance P (pain mediator) Antibiotics polymyxin B (for Gram bacteria) bacitracin (for Gram + bacteria) Protection, e.g., toxins amanitin (mushrooms) conotoxin (cone snails) chlorotoxin (scorpions)

32 Proteins are: Polypeptides (covalently linked -amino acids) + possibly: cofactors functional non-amino acid component metal ions or organic molecules coenzymes organic cofactors NAD + in lactate dehydrogenase prosthetic groups covalently attached cofactors heme in myoglobin other modifications

33 Polypeptide size and number varies greatly in proteins

34 Classes of Conjugated Proteins

35 A mixture of proteins can be separated Separation relies on differences in physical and chemical properties Charge Size Affinity for a ligand Solubility Hydrophobicity Thermal stability Chromatography is commonly used for preparative separation

36 Column Chromatography

37 Separation by Charge

38 Separation by Size

39 Separation by Affinity

40 HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) : high pressure pump -> limit diffusional spreading -> improve resolution

41 Electrophoresis for Protein Analysis Separation in analytical scale is commonly done by electrophoresis Electric field pulls proteins according to their charge Gel matrix hinders mobility of proteins according to their size and shape

42

43 SDS PAGE: Molecular Weight SDS sodium dodecyl sulfate a detergent SDS micelles bind to and unfold all the proteins SDS gives all proteins an uniformly negative charge The native shape of proteins does not matter Rate of movement will only depend on size: small proteins will move faster

44

45 SDS-PAGE can be used to calculate the molecular weight of a protein

46 Isoelectric focusing can be used to determine the pi of a protein

47 Isoelectric focusing and SDS-PAGE are combined in 2D electrophoresis

52 Specific activity (activity/total protein) can be used to assess protein purity

53 Protein Sequencing It is essential to further biochemical analysis that we know the sequence of the protein we are studying Actual sequence generally determined from DNA sequence Edman Degradation (Classical method) Successive rounds of N-terminal modification, cleavage, and identification Can be used to identify protein with known sequence Mass Spectrometry (Modern method) MALDI MS and ESI MS can precisely identify the mass of a peptide, and thus the amino acid sequence Can be used to determine post-translational modifications

59 Representations of three consensus sequences Hsp70 proteins from two well-studied bacterial species, E. coli and Bacillus subtilis

60 Bioinformatics; a tool to elucidate the history of life on earth Bioinformatics : the application of computer science and information technology to the field of biology Example: : : (LOC_Os03g26870) : workbench.sdsc.edu EF-1α/EF-Tu The variation in the signature sequence reflects the significant evolutionary divergence that has occurred at this site since it first appeared in a common ancestor of both groups.

61 Protein Sequences as Clues to Evolutionary Relationships Sequences of homologous proteins from a wide range of species can be aligned and analyzed for differences Differences indicate evolutionary divergences Analysis of multiple protein families can indicate evolutionary relationships between organisms, ultimately the history of life on Earth
