Abstract
Onconase® FL-G zymogen is a 120 residue protein produced by circular permutation of the native Onconase® sequence. In this construction, the wild type N- and C-termini are linked by a 16 residue segment and new N- and C-termini are generated at wild type positions R73 and S72. This novel segment linking the native N- and C-termini is designed to obstruct Onconase’s® active site and encloses a cleavage site for the HIV-1 protease. As a first step towards the resolution of its 3D structure and the study of its structure–function relationships, we report here the nearly complete NMR 1H, 13C and 15N resonance chemical shift assignments at pH 5.2 and 35°C (BMRB deposit no 17973). The results presented here clearly show that the structure of the wild type Onconase® is conserved in the FL-G zymogen.
