- Abstract
- Secondary structure prediction of salivary cystatins S, SA, and SN carried out by several methods label the
39-58 sequence (beta2-strand) as predominantly a-helical. The helical propensity of a peptide corresponding
to beta2-strand of salivary SA cystatin analyzed by CD display high helical propensity in aqueous solution,
whereas peptides matching the beta2-strand amino acid sequence of cystatins S and SN, display
random coil conformation in aqueous solution but acquire alpha-helical conformation in the presence of trifluoroethanol
(TFE). Moreover molecular dynamics simulation performed on the homology modeling of
cystatin SA constructed on the basis of recently determined three-dimensional structure of salivary cystatin
D, suggests that cystatin SA does not significantly deviate from the starting structure over the course
of the simulation. The results obtained indicate that the b2-strand of salivary S cystatins has high helical
propensity when isolated from native protein and acquire the final beta structure by interaction with the
rest of the polypeptide chain. (literal)
