The nascent peptide folding in vivo is different from the denatured peptide refolding in vitro and can be divided into two stages. In the first stage, the peptide is folding as it is being synthesized until the whole peptide chain is synthesized. The final conformation formed in this stage is called as nascent state. In the second stage, the protein folds beginning with the nascent state formed in the first stage into the native state. We use a lattice model to simulate these two stages and investigate the folding time of the nascent peptide comparing with that of the denatured peptide refolding. Our results show that the synthesis process may affect the folding time of the nascent peptide. This may be helpful to understand why the former folds faster than the latter.

Nascent polypeptides begin to fold in the constrained space of the ribosomal peptide exit tunnel. Here we use force-profile analysis (FPA) and photo-induced energy-transfer fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (PET-FCS) to show how a small α-helical domain, the N-terminal domain of HemK, folds cotranslationally. Compaction starts vectorially as soon as the first α-helical segments are synthesized. As nascent chain grows, emerging helical segments dock onto each other and continue to rearrange at the vicinity of the ribosome. Inside or in the proximity of the ribosome, the nascent peptide undergoes structural fluctuations on the µs time scale. The fluctuations slow down as the domain moves away from the ribosome. Mutations that destabilize the packing of the domain’s hydrophobic core have little effect on folding within the exit tunnel, but abolish the final domain stabilization. The results show the power of FPA and PET-FCS in solving the trajectory of cotranslational protein folding and in characterizing the dynamic properties of folding intermediates.
