Abstract

Protein S, a two-domain spore coat protein from Myxococcus xanthus, is structurally related to eye-lens beta gamma-crystallins. No natural monomeric one-domain member of this protein superfamily is known. To determine the stability of the single domains and to explain the ubiquitous domain duplication, the isolated domains of protein S were constructed. The N-domain is thermodynamically more stable than the C-domain, In intact protein S, domain interactions lead to an apparent decrease in stability of the N-terminal domain, whereas the C-terminal domain is stabilised, In contrast, unfolding kinetics of both domains are decreased 100-fold due to interactions in the complete molecule.
