Protein yoga: Conformational versatility of the Hemolysin II C-terminal domain detailed by NMR structures for multiple states.

ABSTRACT: The C-terminal domain of Bacillus cereus hemolysin II (HlyIIC), stabilizes the trans-membrane-pore formed by the HlyII toxin and may aid in target cell recognition. Initial efforts to determine the NMR structure of HlyIIC were hampered by cis/trans isomerization about the single proline at position 405 that leads to doubling of NMR resonances. We used the mutant P405M-HlyIIC that eliminates the cis proline to determine the NMR structure of the domain, which revealed a novel fold. Here, we extend earlier studies to the NMR structure determination of the cis and trans states of WT-HlyIIC that exist simultaneously in solution. The primary structural differences between the cis and trans states are in the loop that contains P405, and structurally adjacent loops. Thermodynamic linkage analysis
