الوصف: The functionality of a protein depends on its unique three-dimensional structure, which is a result of the folding process when the nascent polypeptide follows a funnel-like energy landscape to reach a global energy minimum. Computer-encoded algorithms are increasingly employed to stabilize native proteins for use in research and biotechnology applications. Here, we reveal a unique example where the computational stabilization of a monomeric α/β-hydrolase enzyme ( T m = 73.5°C; Δ T m > 23°C) affected the protein folding energy landscape. Introduction of eleven single-point stabilizing mutations based on force field calculations and evolutionary analysis yielded catalytically active domain-swapped intermediates trapped in local energy minima. Crystallographic structures revealed that these stabilizing mutations target cryptic hinge regions and newly introduced secondary interfaces, where they make extensive non-covalent interactions between the intertwined misfolded protomers. The existence of domain-swapped dimers in a solution is further confirmed experimentally by data obtained from SAXS and crosslinking mass spectrometry. Unfolding experiments showed that the domain-swapped dimers can be irreversibly converted into native-like monomers, suggesting that the domain-swapping occurs exclusively in vivo . Our findings uncovered hidden protein-folding consequences of computational protein design, which need to be taken into account when applying a rational stabilization to proteins of biological and pharmaceutical interest.
