Coiled coils: attractive protein folding motifs for the fabrication of self-assembled, responsive and bioactive materials

Abstract: The coiled coil is a superhelical protein structural motif that consists of two or more alpha-helical peptides that are wrapped around each other in superhelical fashion. Coiled coils are amongst the most ubiquitous folding motifs found in proteins and have not only been identified in structural proteins but also play an important role in various intracellular regulation processes as well as membrane fusion. The aim of this critical review is to highlight the potential of coiled coil peptide sequences for the … Show more

“…The Coiled-coil Domain Mediates Nrdp1 OligomerizationPrevious studies with a variety of proteins suggest that coiledcoil domains facilitate specific protein-protein interactions and very often mediate protein oligomerization (36,37). To determine whether the coiled-coil domain of Nrdp1 might be involved in Nrdp1 self-association, we first asked whether V5-and FLAG-tagged Nrdp1 can co-immunoprecipitate after transient co-expression in 293T cells.…”

“…38,39 Coiled coils are amongst the most ubiquitous folding motifs found in proteins and have not only been identified in the structure of proteins, but are also involved in various intracellular regulation processes. 40 They are also used as model system to study protein folding and stability due to their small size and because they have both short-range interactions which stabilize the monomeric α-helices and long-range interactions responsible for oligomeric packing. The coiled-coil peptide that we investigated was designed de novo and characterized before 41 is highly α-helical and forms 100% dimers in solution under physiological conditions.…”
