| The [[Biomolecular structure#Primary_structure|primary structure]] of a [[peptide]] or [[protein]] is the [[amino acid sequence|linear sequence]] of its [[amino acid]] [[structural unit]]s, and partly comprises its overall [[biomolecular structure]]. By convention, the primary structure of a protein is reported starting from the amino-terminal (N) end to the carboxyl-terminal (C) end.

| can often be specified by the sequence of [[amino acid]]s along their backbone.
| |
| However, proteins can become cross-linked, most commonly by [[disulfide bonds]], and the primary structure also requires specifying the cross-linking atoms, e.g., specifying the [[cysteine]]s involved in the protein's disulfide bonds. Other crosslinks include desmosine...
| |
|
| |
|
| The chiral centers of a polypeptide chain can undergo [[racemization]]. In particular, the L-amino acids normally found in proteins can spontaneously isomerize at the <math>\mathrm{C^{\alpha}}</math> atom to form D-amino acids, which cannot be cleaved by most [[protease]]s.

|
| The N-terminal amino group of a polypeptide can be modified covalently, e.g.,

| | |
| * '''acetylation''' <math>\mathrm{-C(=O)-CH_{3}}</math>
| |
| [[Image:Nterminal acetylation.png|frame|left|N-terminal acetylation]]
| |
| :The positive charge on the N-terminal amino group may be eliminated by changing it to an acetyl group (N-terminal blocking).
| |
| | |
| * '''formylation''' <math>\mathrm{-C(=O)H}</math>
| |
| | |
| :The N-terminal methionine usually found after translation has an N-terminus blocked with a formyl group. This formyl group (and sometimes the methionine residue itself, if followed by Gly or Ser) is removed by the enzyme [[deformylase]].
| |
| | |
| * '''pyroglutamate'''
| |
| [[Image:pyroglutamate.png|frame|right|Formation of pyroglutamate from an N-terminal glutamine]]
| |
| | |
| :An N-terminal glutamine can attack itself, forming a cyclic pyroglutamate group.
| |
| | |
| * '''myristoylation''' <math>\mathrm{-C(=O)-\left(CH_{2}\right)_{12}-CH_{3}}</math>
| |
| | |
| :Similar to acetylation. Instead of a simple methyl group, the myristoyl group has a tail of 14 hydrophobic carbons, which make it ideal for anchoring proteins to [[cellular membrane]]s.
| |
| | |
| The C-terminal carboxylate group of a polypeptide can also be modified, e.g.,
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Cterminal amidation.png|frame|left|C-terminal amidation]]
| |
| | |
| * '''amidation''' (see Figure)
| |
| :The C-terminus can also be blocked (thus, neutralizing its negative charge) by amidation.
| |
| | |
| * '''glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI) attachment'''
| |
| :Glycosyl phosphatidylinositol is a large, hydrophobic phospholipid prosthetic group that achors proteins to [[cellular membrane]]s. It is attached to the polypeptide C-terminus through an amide linkage that then connects to ethanolamine, thence to sundry sugars and finally to the phosphatidylinositol lipid moiety.
| |
| | |
| Finally, the peptide [[side chain]]s can also be modified covalently, e.g.,
| |
| | |
| * '''phosphorylation'''
| |
| :Aside from cleavage, [[phosphorylation]] is perhaps the most important chemical modification of proteins. A phosphate group can be attached to the sidechain hydroxyl group of serine, threonine and tyrosine residues, adding a negative charge at that site and producing an unnatural amino acid. Such reactions are catalyzed by '''[[kinase]]s''' and the reverse reaction is catalyzed by phosphatases. The phosphorylated tyrosines are often used as "handles" by which proteins can bind to one another, whereas phosphorylation of Ser/Thr often induces conformational changes, presumably because of the introduced negative charge. The effects of phosphorylating Ser/Thr can sometimes be simulated by mutating the Ser/Thr residue to glutamate.
| |
| | |
| * '''[[glycosylation]]'''
| |
| :A catch-all name for a set of very common and very heterogeneous chemical modifications. Sugar moieties can be attached to the sidechain hydroxyl groups of Ser/Thr or to the sidechain amide groups of Asn. Such attachments can serve many functions, ranging from increasing solubility to complex recognition. All glycosylation can be blocked with certain inhibitors, such as tunicamycin.
| |
| | |
| * '''[[deamidation]]''' (succinimide formation)
| |
| :In this modification, an asparagine or aspartate side chain attacks the following peptide bond, forming a symmetrical succinimide intermediate. Hydrolysis of the intermediate produces either asparate or the β-amino acid, iso(Asp). For asparagine, either product results in the loss of the amide group, hence "deamidation".
| |
| | |
| * '''[[hydroxylation]]'''
| |
| : Proline residues may be hydroxylates at either of two atoms, as can lysine (at one atom). Hydroxyproline is a critical component of [[collagen]], which becomes unstable upon its loss. The hydroxylation reaction is catalyzed by an enzyme that requires [[ascorbic acid]] (vitamin C), deficiencies in which lead to many connective-tissue diseases such as [[scurvy]].
| |
| | |
| * '''[[methylation]]'''
| |
| | |
| :Several protein residues can be methylated, most notably the positive groups of lysine and arginine. Methylation at these sites is used to regulate the binding of proteins to nucleic acids. Lysine residues can be singly, doubly and even triply methylated. Methylation does ''not'' alter the positive charge on the side chain, however.
| |
| | |
| * '''[[acetylation]]'''
| |
| : Acetylation of the lysine amino groups is chemically analogous to the acetylation of the N-terminus. Functionally, however, the acetylation of lysine residues is used to regulate the binding of proteins to nucleic acids. The cancellation of the positive charge on the lysine weakens the electrostatic attraction for the (negatively charged) nucleic acids.
| |
| | |
| * '''sulfation'''
| |
| | |
| Tyrosines may become sulfated on their <math>\mathrm{O^{\eta}}</math> atom. Somewhat unusually, this modification occurs in the [[Golgi apparatus]], not in the [[endoplasmic reticulum]]. Similar to phosphorylated tyrosines, sulfated tyrosines are used for specific recognition, e.g., in chemokine receptors on the cell surface. As with phosphorylation, sulfation adds a negative charge to a previously neutral site.
| |
| | |
| * '''[[prenylation]]''' and '''palmitoylation''' <math>\mathrm{-C(=O)-\left(CH_{2}\right)_{14}-CH_{3}}</math>
| |
| | |
| The hydrophobic isoprene (e.g., farnesyl, geranyl, and geranylgeranyl groups) and palmitoyl groups may be added to the <math>\mathrm{S^{\gamma}}</math> atom of cysteine residues to anchor proteins to [[cellular membrane]]s. Unlike the GPI
| |
| and myritoyl anchors, these groups are not necessarily added at the termini.
| |
| | |
| * '''carboxylation'''
| |
| :A relatively rare modification that adds an extra carboxylate group (and, hence, a double negative charge) to a glutamate side chain, producing a Gla residue. This is used to strengthen the binding to "hard" metal ions such as [[calcium]].
| |
| | |
| * '''ADP-ribosylation'''
| |
| | |
| The large ADP-ribosyl group can be transferred to several types of side chains within proteins, with heterogeneous effects. This modification is a target for the powerful toxins of disparate bacteria, e.g., ''Vibrio cholerae'', ''Corynebacterium diphtheriae'' and ''Bordetella pertussis''.
| |
| | |
| * '''[[ubiquitin]]ation''' and '''[[SUMO protein|SUMOylation]]'''
| |
| | |
| Various full-length, folded proteins can be attached at their C-termini to the sidechain ammonium groups of lysines of other proteins. Ubiquitin is the most common of these, and usually signals that the ubiquitin-tagged protein should be degraded.
| |
| | |
| Most of the polypeptide modifications listed above occur ''post-translationally'', i.e., after the [[protein]] has been synthesized on the [[ribosome]], typically occurring in the [[endoplasmic reticulum]], a subcellular [[organelle]] of the eukaryotic cell.
| |
| | |
| Many other chemical reactions (e.g., cyanylation) have been applied to proteins by chemists, although they are not found in biological systems.
| |
| | |
| ===Modifications of primary structure===
| |
| | |
| In addition to those listed above, the most important modification of primary structure is '''peptide cleavage''' (See: [[Protease]]). Proteins are often synthesized in an inactive precursor form; typically, an N-terminal or C-terminal segment blocks the [[active site]] of the protein, inhibiting its function. The protein is activated by cleaving off the inhibitory peptide.
| |
| | |
| Some proteins even have the power to cleave themselves. Typically, the hydroxyl group of a serine (rarely, threonine) or the thiol group of a cysteine residue will attack the carbonyl carbon of the preceding peptide bond, forming a tetrahedrally bonded intermediate [classified as a hydroxyoxazolidine (Ser/Thr) or hydroxythiazolidine (Cys) intermediate]. This intermediate tends to revert to the amide form, expelling the attacking group, since the amide form is usually favored by free energy, (presumably due to the strong resonance stabilization of the peptide group). However, additional molecular interactions may render the amide form less stable; the amino group is expelled instead, resulting in an ester (Ser/Thr) or thioester (Cys) bond in place of the peptide bond. This chemical reaction is called an [[N-O acyl shift]].
| |
| | |
| The ester/thioester bond can be resolved in several ways:
| |
| | |
| * Simple hydrolysis will split the polypeptide chain, where the displaced amino group becomes the new N-terminus. This is seen in the maturation of glycosylasparaginase.
| |
| | |
| * A β-elimination reaction also splits the chain, but results in a pyruvoyl group at the new N-terminus. This pyruvoyl group may be used as a covalently attached catalytic cofactor in some enzymes, especially decarboxylases such as [[S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase]] (SAMDC) that exploit the electron-withdrawing power of the pyruvoyl group.
| |
| | |
| * Intramolecular transesterification, resulting in a ''branched'' polypeptide. In [[intein]]s, the new ester bond is broken by an intramolecular attack by the soon-to-be C-terminal asparagine.
| |
| | |
| * Intermolecular transesterification can transfer a whole segment from one polypeptide to another, as is seen in the Hedgehog protein autoprocessing.
| |
| | |
| ===History of protein primary structure===
| |
| | |
| The proposal that proteins were linear chains of α-amino acids was made nearly simultaneously by two scientists at the same conference in 1902, the 74th meeting of the Society of German Scientists and Physicians, held in Karlsbad. [[Franz Hofmeister]] made the proposal in the morning, based on his observations of the biuret reaction in proteins. Hofmeister was followed a few hours later by [[Hermann Emil Fischer|Emil Fischer]], who had amassed a wealth of chemical details supporting the peptide-bond model. For completeness, the proposal that proteins contained amide linkages was made as early as 1882 by the French chemist E. Grimaux.
| |
| | |
| Despite these data and later evidence that proteolytically digested proteins yielded only oligopeptides, the idea that proteins were linear, unbranched polymers of amino acids was not accepted immediately. Some well-respected scientists such as [[William Astbury]] doubted that covalent bonds were strong enough to hold such long molecules together; they feared that thermal agitations would shake such long molecules asunder. [[Hermann Staudinger]] faced similar prejudices in the 1920s when he argued that [[rubber]] was composed of [[macromolecule]]s.
| |
| | |
| Thus, several alternative hypotheses arose. The '''colloidal protein hypothesis''' stated that proteins were colloidal assemblies of smaller molecules. This hypothesis was disproved in the 1920s by ultracentrifugation measurements by [[Theodor Svedberg]] that showed that proteins had a well-defined, reproducible molecular weight and by electrophoretic measurements by [[Arne Tiselius]] that indicated that proteins were single molecules. A second hypothesis, the '''[[cyclol]] hypothesis''' advanced by [[Dorothy Wrinch]], proposed that the linear polypeptide underwent a chemical cyclol rearrangement C=O + HN <math>\rightarrow</math> C(OH)-N that crosslinked its backbone amide groups, forming a two-dimensional ''fabric''. Other primary structures of proteins were proposed by various researchers, such as the '''diketopiperazine model''' of [[Emil Abderhalden]] and the '''pyrrol/piperidine model''' of Troensegaard in 1942. Although never given much credence, these alternative models were finally disproved when [[Frederick Sanger]] successfully sequenced [[insulin]] and by the crystallographic determination of myoglobin and hemoglobin by [[Max Perutz]] and [[John Kendrew]].

| | |
| {{main|Nucleic acid primary structure}}
| |
| | |
| Any linear-chain heteropolymer can be said to have a "primary structure" by analogy to the usage of the term for proteins, but this usage is rare compared to the extremely common usage in reference to proteins. In [[RNA]], which also has extensive [[secondary structure]], the linear chain of bases is generally just referred to as the "sequence" as it is in [[DNA]] (which usually forms a linear double helix with little secondary structure). Other biological polymers such as [[polysaccharides]] can also be considered to have a primary structure, although the usage is not standard.
| |
| | |
| ==Relation to secondary and tertiary structure==
| |
| | |
| {{main|Biomolecular structure}}
| |
| | |
| The primary structure of a biological polymer to a large extent determines the three-dimensional shape known as the [[tertiary structure]], but [[nucleic acid]] and [[protein folding]] are so complex that knowing the primary structure often doesn't help either to deduce the shape or to predict localized [[secondary structure]], such as the formation of loops or helices. However, knowing the structure of a similar [[Homology (biology)#Homology of sequences in genetics|homologous]] sequence (for example a member of the same [[protein family]]) can unambiguously identify the [[tertiary structure]] of the given sequence. Sequence families are often determined by [[sequence clustering]], and [[structural genomics]] projects aim to produce a set of representative structures to cover the ''sequence space'' of possible non-redundant sequences.
