Direct Observation of Active Protein Folding Using Lock-in Force Spectroscopy  Michael Schlierf, Felix Berkemeier, Matthias Rief  Biophysical Journal  Volume 93, Issue 11, Pages 3989-3998 (December 2007) DOI: 10.1529/biophysj.107.114397 Copyright © 2007 The Biophysical Society Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 High resolution lock-in force spectroscopy reveals discrete refolding events. (a) A polypeptide force-extension curve of a relax-stretch cycle at vp=5nm/s at full bandwidth of fS=5kHz (light and dark gray) and a low-pass filtered relax trace (light blue) are shown. A lock-in trace of the same relax-stretch cycle is shown in dark red and dark blue. The inset shows a zoom into the low forces low extension regime. The lock-in signal is free from detector drift and the noise level is reduced by one or two orders of magnitude. The green-dashed line is a WLC fit to the relaxing lock-in signal returning a persistence length of p=5ű0.2Å. The green line in the top graph shows the deviations of the WLC fit and gives us an estimate of the improved force resolution of ∼400fN. (b) A schematic illustration of the modified AFM setup is shown. The oscillating signal is superimposed to the regular surface movement signal. Both, the oscillation reference and the full deflection signal are recorded and in-phase multiplied, the result is then integrated to obtain the lock-in force-curve. (c) A typical folding force extension curve at full bandwidth (dark and light gray), low-pass filtered (light blue and light red), and the corresponding integrated lock-in signals (blue and red). The relaxation trace (light blue) shows typical erratic detector drift, which can lead to wrong refolding force interpretations. The refolding extension, however, can be precisely measured, where the two lock-in signals join each other (blue arrow). (d) The same force-extension trace as in panel c. The lock-in signals have been reconstructed such that they exhibit the familiar appearance of a typical force extension trace.

Figure 2 Refolding traces and refolding event detection. (a) A set of two typical refolding traces. For color scheme, see previous figure. The automated kink finder detects the minimum of the second derivative of the lock-in trace (bottom corresponding graphs). The refolding forces were calculated from the automatically detected extensions. (b) Comparison of the second derivative of lock-in force extension traces with refolding events (green) and without refolding events (orange). The dashed lines are the second derivatives of simulated lock-in force extension traces. In those traces, also the refolding events exhibit a global minimum.

Figure 3 Refolding force distribution and an energy landscape. For comparison, the folding force distribution obtained from the automatic kink detector and the manual kink detection are shown as blue bars and red cityscape, respectively. (a) The obtained refolding force distribution of ddFLN4 (blue bars) can be fitted by a minimal model for protein folding under force. A zero-force refolding rate of k01=55s−1 and a partial contraction of ΔLC=19.5nm fit the data best (black line). A full contraction using the same value for k01 would result in a distribution at much lower forces (green dashed line). A full contraction at ∼4pN requires a drastically k01=3500s−1 (black dotted line). (b) Schematic illustration of an energy landscape of an unstructured polypeptide spacer of 19.5nm contour length at a constant load of 4 and 8pN (green and red line, respectively). The energy landscape of the folded protein (blue line) is illustrated on a different reaction coordinate since it has the boundary condition that the residues between the N- and C-terminus are structured.

Figure 4 The refolding pathway under force is not changed. (a) (Left) Schematic illustration of an experiment with large amplitudes. The protein is subject to an oscillation amplitude of 20nm at 52Hz during each relaxation and extension cycle. (Right) Typical folding/unfolding cycle at such high amplitudes (black and gray trace, respectively). Forces averaged over two oscillation periods are plotted versus average extension. (b) Distribution of lifetimes of the folding intermediate as observed in a 20-nm 52-Hz oscillation experiment. The lifetime τ was measured as illustrated in the two insets showing typical refolding traces at high amplitudes. The lifetime distribution can reproduced by a Monte Carlo simulation (line with error bars) using a contraction length of ΔLC=15nm and at a zero-force folding rate of k02=200s−1. (c) Time trace of ddFLN4 held at a fixed average extension with a large oscillation amplitude A=25nm. ddFLN4 populates all three different states (unfolded U, intermediate I, and native N), both during the folding and the unfolding pathway. On the right side we show a schematic illustration, where the average forces of each folding state are illustrated as gray dots.

Figure 5 A minimal model prediction for protein folding forces. (a) Average calculated refolding forces as a function of the number of folding amino acids. The average folding force was calculated at three different zero-force refolding rates of 3s−1 (black), 30s−1 (light gray), and 300s−1 (gray) using a pulling velocity of vP=5nm/s and a spacer of the length L0=150nm. (x) Average refolding force of ddFLN4 from the unfolded to the intermediate state. (o) The range of refolding forces observed for ankyrin taken from Lee et al. (4). (b) Average refolding force of a 100-amino-acids protein calculated for three different zero-force folding rates (color code as in panel a) as a function of the pulling velocity with a polypeptide spacer of L0=150nm. (c) Calculated folding and unfolding rate (black and gray line, respectively) for the transitions between the unfolded and the intermediate state of ddFLN4 as a function of the external force. The folding rate was calculated following Eq. 3. The unfolding rate parameters were extracted from a Bell equation fit to the unfolding force distribution (gray bars) shown in the inset. The intersection of both functions reveals an equilibrium force of ∼7 pN.
