Conformationally designed, non-planar porphyrins afford new classes of structurally distinct chromophores with significantly altered optical, redox, magnetic, radical and excited state properties. The synthetic, non-planar porphyrins model and illustrate the consequences of the skeletal deformations and plasticity increasingly observed in crystal structures of protein complexes comprising porphyrinic chromophores and prosthetic groups. Conformational variations thus offer attractively simple mechanisms for modulating the physicochemical properties of porphyrins in vivo and in vitro.

ABSTRACTUnderstanding the molecular consequences of mutations in proteins is essential to map genotypes to phenotypes and interpret the increasing wealth of genomic data. While mutations are known to disrupt protein structure and function, their potential to create new structures and localization phenotypes has not yet been mapped to a sequence space. To map this relationship, we employed two homo-oligomeric protein complexes where the internal symmetry exacerbates the impact of mutations. We mutagenized three surface residues of each complex and monitored the mutations’ effect on localization and assembly phenotypes in yeast cells. While surface mutations are classically viewed as benign, our analysis of several hundred mutants revealed they often trigger three main phenotypes in these proteins: nuclear localization, the formation of puncta, and fibers. Strikingly, more than 50% of random mutants induced one of these phenotypes in both complexes. Analyzing the mutant’s sequences showed that surface stickiness and net charge are two key physicochemical properties associated with these changes. In one complex, more than 60% of mutants self-assembled into fibers. Such a high frequency is explained by negative design: charged residues shield the complex from misassembly, and the sole removal of the charges induces its assembly. A subsequent analysis of several other complexes targeted with alanine mutations suggested that negative design against mis-assembly and mislocalization is common. These results highlight that minimal perturbations in protein surfaces’ physicochemical properties can frequently drive assembly and localization changes in a cellular context.
