Journal Article
Polyelectrolyte interactions enable rapid association and dissociation in high-affinity disordered protein complexes
2020
Overview
Highly charged intrinsically disordered proteins can form complexes with very high affinity in which both binding partners fully retain their disorder and dynamics, exemplified by the positively charged linker histone H1.0 and its chaperone, the negatively charged prothymosin α. Their interaction exhibits another surprising feature: The association/dissociation kinetics switch from slow two-state-like exchange at low protein concentrations to fast exchange at higher, physiologically relevant concentrations. Here we show that this change in mechanism can be explained by the formation of transient ternary complexes favored at high protein concentrations that accelerate the exchange between bound and unbound populations by orders of magnitude. Molecular simulations show how the extreme disorder in such polyelectrolyte complexes facilitates (i) diffusion-limited binding, (ii) transient ternary complex formation, and (iii) fast exchange of monomers by competitive substitution, which together enable rapid kinetics. Biological polyelectrolytes thus have the potential to keep regulatory networks highly responsive even for interactions with extremely high affinities.
The intrinsically disordered linker histone H1.0 and prothymosin α form a complex which exhibits slow exchange between bound and unbound populations at low protein concentrations and fast exchange at high concentrations. Here authors explain this observation by the formation of transient ternary complexes favored at high protein concentrations that accelerate the exchange.
