Examining the Influence of Linkers and Tertiary Structure in the Forced Unfolding of Multiple-Repeat Spectrin Molecules  Sterling Paramore, Gregory A.

Figure 1 Sequence of structures for one of the SMD trajectories (the force-extension curve for this trajectory is shown in Figs. 2 b and 3 b). Biophysical Journal 2006 91, 3436-3445DOI: (10.1529/biophysj.106.091108) Copyright © 2006 The Biophysical Society Terms and Conditions

Figure 2 Correlation between the force-extension curve, the secondary structure, and the tertiary structure. The top row shows the force-extension curve (left axis, where the error bars are the standard deviation of the forces measured at a particular length) and the MNSNR (right axis, green line is helix A8, blue is helix C8A9, and purple is helix C9). The other figures are contour plots showing the distance between complementary heptad sites on the helices indicated on the left. Lines have been drawn to highlight the correlation between the force peaks and the tertiary structure. a and b were subject to a pulling speed of 0.5nm/ns, and c and d were subject to a pulling speed of 0.2nm/ns.

Figure 3 Correlation between the force-extension and the hydrophobic surface area exposure. The solid lines are the force-extension curves (left axis); the long and short dashed lines are the hydrophobic surface area exposure for repeat unit R8 and R9, respectively (right axis). a and b were subject to a pulling speed of 0.5nm/ns, and c and d were subject to a pulling speed of 0.2nm/ns. Error bars on the force-extension curve have been removed for clarity.

Figure 5 Sequence of structures for one of the triple-repeat SMD trajectories. The C15A16 linker ruptured at a length of 16.7nm, and the C16A17 linker ruptured at 21.1nm. Some rupture of the helices near the terminal loops was observed, but this is not expected to significantly affect the unfolding behavior of the central repeat unit.

Figure 6 Initial force-extension curve (thick lines, left axis) and angle between repeat units 15 and 17 (thin lines, right axis) for three SMD simulations of the triple-repeat spectrin.

Figure 7 Schematic of the unfolding pathways of a quadruple-repeat spectrin, which are analogous to those actually observed in the simulations of double- and triple-repeat spectrins. Thick bars represent parts of the structure which are α-helical, and the thin bars represent sections which are random coils. To the right of each structure is a possible force-extension curve which might be observed over long timescales. The top structure shows the initial, fully folded spectrin molecule which has been extended to the point just before rupture. After rupture of the central α-helical linker (1), the force drops. As the system is extended (2), the force rises as unfolding of the linker propagates into the surrounding repeat units, disrupting the tertiary structure. When the force is large enough, either another linker can rupture (3), or the tertiary structure can completely unfold (3′). Either way, the repeat unit is highly destabilized and easily extensible (4–5, and 4′–5′). Note that the trajectory shown in Fig. 1 follows the pathway on the right (3′–5′) and that shown in Fig. 5 follows the pathway on the left (3–5).

Figure 8 This figure shows a schematic for a possible unfolding mechanism which could account for the tandem unfolding events observed experimentally (12,14). Instead of helix rupture nucleating the unfolding, as shown in Fig. 7, a slow rupture pathway involving disruption of the coiled-coil fold might occur (1). This would result in destabilization of the two adjacent α-helical linkers and thus to an extra long unfolding event.
