• Popis: beta-sheet proteins carry out critical functions in biology, and hence are attractive scaffolds for computational protein design. Despite this potential, de novo design of all-beta-sheet proteins from first principles lags far behind the design of all-alpha or mixed-alpha beta domains owing to their non-local nature and the tendency of exposed beta-strand edges to aggregate. Through study of loops connecting unpaired beta-strands (beta-arches), we have identified a series of structural relationships between loop geometry, side chain directionality and beta-strand length that arise from hydrogen bonding and packing constraints on regular beta-sheet structures. We use these rules to de novo design jellyroll structures with double-stranded beta-helices formed by eight antiparallel beta-strands. The nuclear magnetic resonance structure of a hyperthermostable design closely matched the computational model, demonstrating accurate control over the beta-sheet structure and loop geometry. Our results open the door to the design of a broad range of non-local beta-sheet protein structures.
