Abstract
The peptide (35 residues) corresponding to the basic subdomain (bSD) of c-Jun (residues 252-281) and its fragments NP (N-terminal peptide, 1-19) and CP (C-terminal peptide, 16-35) were synthesized in stepwise solid-phase using the tert-butyloxycarbonyl/benzyl strategy. In a previous paper, we have shown that during its binding to the DNA site CRE (cAMP-responsive element) the bSD structure was converted into alpha-helix from an initial random coil conformation [Krebs, D., Dahmani, B., El Antri, S., Monnot, M., Convert, O., Mauffret, O., Troalen, F. & Fermandjian, S. Eur. J. Biochem. 231, 370-380 (1995)]. Our results suggested both a high flexibility and a helical potential in bSD, these two properties seeming crucial for the accommodation of the basic subdomain of c-Jun to its specific DNA targets. In this work, we assessed the conformational variability of bSD through the study of the secondary structures of its NP and CP fragments in trifluoroethanol (TFE)/2H2O mixtures, using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The IR results were critically analyzed in light of our previously reported circular dichroism (CD) and NMR data [Krebs, D., Dahmani, B., Monnot, M., Mauffret, O., Troalen, F. & Fermandjian, S. Eur. J. Bio...Continue Reading
