They are composed largely, if not entirely, of the host-encoded prion protein (PrP), which can exist in the cellular isoform PrP(C) and the pathological isoform PrP(Sc). The conformational change of the alpha-helical PrP(C) into beta-sheet-rich PrP(Sc) is the fundamental event of prion disease. The transition of recombinant PrP from a PrP(C)-like into a PrP(Sc)-like conformation can be induced in vitro by submicellar concentrations of SDS. An alpha-helical dimer was identified that might represent either the native state of PrP(C) or the first step from the monomeric PrP(C) to highly aggregated PrP(Sc). In the present study, the molecular structure of these dimers was analyzed by introducing covalent cross-links using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide. Inter- and intramolecular bonds between directly neighboured amino groups and carboxy groups were generated. The bonds formed in PrP dimers of recombinant PrP (90-231) were identified by tryptic digestion and subsequent mass spectrometric analysis. Intra- and intermolecular cross-links between N-terminal glycine and three acidic amino acid side chains in the globular part of PrP were identified, showing the N-terminal amino acids (90-124) are not as flexible as known from NMR analysis. When the cross-linked sites were used as structural constraint, molecular modeling calculations yielded a structural model for PrP dimer and its monomeric subunit, including the folding of amino acids 90-124 in addition to the known structure. Molecular dynamics of the structure after release of the constraint indicated an intrinsic stability of the domain of amino acids 90-124. 000000314 536__ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK409$$2G:(DE-HGF)$$aFunktion und Dysfunktion des Nervensystems$$cP33$$x0 000000314 588__ $$aDataset connected to Web of Science, Pubmed 000000314 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aAmino Acids, Acidic: chemistry 000000314 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aAnimals 000000314 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aCircular Dichroism 000000314 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aComputer Simulation 000000314 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aCricetinae 000000314 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aCross-Linking Reagents: chemistry 000000314 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aDimerization 000000314 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aMesocricetus 000000314 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aModels, Molecular 000000314 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aNuclear Magnetic Resonance, Biomolecular 000000314 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aPrions: chemistry 000000314 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aPrions: genetics 000000314 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aPrions: metabolism 000000314 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aProtein Conformation 000000314 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aProtein Isoforms: chemistry 000000314 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aProtein Isoforms: metabolism 000000314 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aProtein Structure, Secondary 000000314 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aRecombinant Proteins: chemistry 000000314 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aRecombinant Proteins: metabolism 000000314 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aSpectrometry, Mass, Electrospray Ionization 000000314 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aTandem Mass Spectrometry 000000314 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aTrypsin: pharmacology 000000314 650_7 $$00$$2NLM Chemicals$$aAmino Acids, Acidic 000000314 650_7 $$00$$2NLM Chemicals$$aCross-Linking Reagents 000000314 650_7 $$00$$2NLM Chemicals$$aPrions 000000314 650_7 $$00$$2NLM Chemicals$$aProtein Isoforms 000000314 650_7 $$00$$2NLM Chemicals$$aRecombinant Proteins 000000314 650_7 $$0EC 3.4.21.4$$2NLM Chemicals$$aTrypsin 000000314 650_7 $$2WoSType$$aJ 000000314 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aMetzger, S.$$b1 000000314 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aKuhlmann, K.$$b2 000000314 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aBrandt, B.$$b3 000000314 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)VDB65870$$aBirkmann, E.$$b4$$uFZJ 000000314 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aHöltje, H.-D.$$b5 000000314 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aRiesner, D.$$b6 000000314 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)1355192-9$$a10.1016/j.jmb.2007.11.035$$gVol. 376, p. 582 - 596$$p582 - 596$$q376<582 - 596$$tJournal of molecular biology$$v376$$x0022-2836$$y2008 000000314 8567_ $$uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jmb.2007.11.035 000000314 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:314$$pVDB 000000314 9131_ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK409$$bGesundheit$$kP33$$lFunktion und Dysfunktion des Nervensystems$$vFunktion und Dysfunktion des Nervensystems$$x0 000000314 9141_ $$y2008 000000314 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0010$$aJCR/ISI refereed 000000314 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)VDB805$$d31.12.2008$$gINB$$kINB-2$$lMolekulare Biophysik$$x0 000000314 970__ $$aVDB:(DE-Juel1)100580 000000314 980__ $$aVDB 000000314 980__ $$aConvertedRecord 000000314 980__ $$ajournal 000000314 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)ISB-2-20090406 000000314 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000000314 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)ICS-6-20110106 000000314 981__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IBI-7-20200312 000000314 981__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)ISB-2-20090406 000000314 981__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)ICS-6-20110106
