2010, Biochemical and Biophysical Research CommunicationsCitation Excerpt :Such “frustrated” helical segments are particularly prone to undergo α-helix → β-strand conversion and may serve as a trigger for amyloid fibril formation by native proteins. In contrast to the situation for mature SP-C, the α-helix of a processing intermediate on the pathway from proSP-C to SP-C was found be long-term stable and not unfold to form β-sheet aggregates [23]. The increased stability of this intermediate is mediated by the presence of a propeptide segment that may interact with the N-terminal part of the α-helix and thereby increase the energy barrier for unfolding.
The Brichos domain-containing C-terminal part of pro-surfactant protein C binds to an unfolded poly-Val transmembrane segment
2006, Journal of Biological ChemistryCitation Excerpt :These results indicate that in cells expressing proSP-C(L188Q), which is expected to lack ability to bind β-sheet SP-C, expression of CTproSP-C in trans can substitute for the mutant, resulting in stabilization and decreased degradation of proSP-C. The 23-residue N-terminal flanking domain of proSP-C is apparently involved in directing proSP-C through the secretory pathway (1, 25), and its presence increases the stability of the SP-C α-helix in vitro (26). For CTproSP-C, in contrast, no function has so far been described.
