Coiled coils 9-to-5: rational de novo design of alpha-helical barrels with tunable oligomeric states. Chem Sci, 12:6923-6928, 2021 Cited by PubMed Abstract: The rational design of linear peptides that assemble controllably and predictably in water is challenging. Short sequences must encode unique target structures and avoid alternative states. However, the non-covalent forces that stabilize and discriminate between states are weak. Nonetheless, for α-helical coiled-coil assemblies considerable progress has been made in rational design. In these, sequence repeats of nominally hydrophobic () and polar () residues, , direct the assembly of amphipathic helices into dimeric to tetrameric bundles. Expanding this pattern to can produce larger α-helical barrels. Here, we show that pentameric to nonameric barrels are accessed by varying the residue at one of the sites. In peptides with four L/I-K-E-I-A-x-Z repeats, decreasing the size of Z from threonine to serine to alanine to glycine gives progressively larger oligomers. X-ray crystal structures of the resulting α-helical barrels rationalize this: side chains at Z point directly into the helical interfaces, and smaller residues allow closer helix contacts and larger assemblies.
