Asn440-Thr458 and Pro413-Glu436), packs against hydrophobic residues from a nearby α helix or loop residues (e.g., Leu703, Val699). In the variant simulations, the methyl group of Thr438 is able to establish similar hydrophobic packing. Moreover, the hydroxyl group also H-bonds with nearby residues, such as the carbonyl group of the neighboring loop residue Pro437. Accordingly, the residue swap does not generate an apparent negative effect on the protein structure based on the simulations.

Thr228-Ala232), forms hydrogen bonds with nearby residues Glu217, Cys233, and Cys219 in the variant simulations. These hydrogen-bonding interactions at the β sheet surface contribute to the stability of the secondary structure element and prevent it from unfolding. The new hydrogen bond interactions may be more favorable for structural stability than the steric interactions of the methyl side chain of Ala with the side chains of Gln216 and Cys219 in the WT. However, since the model ends abruptly at the N-terminus, no definite conclusions can be drawn from the simulations.

In the variant simulations, the hydroxyl group of Thr399 can form H-bonds with the backbone atoms of the residues in the membrane-facing loops (e.g., Gly382) in the C2 domain. Consequently, the ability of the Thr399 side chain to form H-bonds with the membrane-facing loops could adversely affect the dynamics and stability of the SynGAP-membrane association. However, since the effects on the dynamics of the membrane-facing loops can only be studied through the SynGAP-membrane complex, no definite conclusions can be drawn.

In the variant simulations, the positively charged guanidinium side chain of Arg697 occasionally forms hydrogen bonds with nearby residues, such as Ser722 and Asn719. However, similar to Trp697 in the WT, Arg697 does not form any long-lasting interactions and thus does not induce any negative structural effects in the simulations.

Ala399-Ile411), hydrophobically packs against hydrophobic residues within the anti-parallel β sheet of the C2 domain (e.g., Ile268, Ala404, Leu325, Leu402). In the variant simulations, the negatively charged carboxylate group of the Glu400 side chain is not suitable for occupying the hydrophobic niche. Consequently, the side chain escapes the center of the C2 domain and interacts with the backbone amide groups of Leu402 in the same β strand and/or Ile269 and Glu270 in a neighboring β strand (res. Arg259-Arg272). This residue swap disrupts the hydrophobic packing and generally has extensive negative effects on the C2 domain structure. At a minimum, the residue swap could affect the C2 domain stability and membrane association.

Arg563-Glu578), lies in a hydrophobic inter-helix space, where it makes extensive hydrophobic interactions with nearby residues such as Met470, Phe569, Leu588, and Ile589. The guanidinium group of Arg572 is similarly sized to the tryptophan it replaced; however, it is also positively charged. In the variant simulations, Arg572 forms hydrogen bonds with other residues in the inter-helix space, such as Ser592 and the backbone carbonyl atom of Leu465. Additionally, Arg572 hydrophobically packs its carbon chain with surrounding residues such as Phe569 and Ile589.However, the introduced residue arginine is too hydrophilic and charged for the hydrophobic space, disrupting the hydrophobic packing of the inter-helix space. Indeed, in the second simulation, Arg572 successfully escapes the hydrophobic niche completely, causing the whole protein to partially unfold.Overall, the residue swap is highly likely to cause critical protein folding problems, as evidenced by the effects seen in the variant simulations.

Val441-Ser457), packs against hydrophobic residues in the inter-helix space at the intersection of three α helices (e.g., Leu500, His453, Leu465). In the variant simulations, the larger side chain of Phe452 cannot pack against the opposing α helix (res. Leu489-Glu519) as efficiently as valine. Due to space restrictions, the phenol ring adjusts to make room by rotating slightly sideways in the inter-helix space. Besides this small and local shift, no large-scale effects on the protein structure are seen based on the simulations. However, the size difference between the swapped residues could affect the protein folding process.

Thr359-Pro364) in the C2 domain, stacks with nearby residues (e.g., Arg401, Arg272). In the variant simulations, the guanidinium group of the introduced residue Arg362 forms a salt bridge with the carboxylate group of Glu273 and, like Trp362, stacks with other arginine residues (e.g., Arg401, Arg272). This residue is at both the C2-membrane interface and the C2-RasGTPase interface, so the residue swap could potentially affect both interactions. However, these phenomena cannot be addressed using solvent-only simulations. Notably, Arg272, which stacks with both the non-mutated Trp362 and the mutated Arg362, forms a salt bridge directly with Asp105 of Ras in the WT simulations. Therefore, the residue swap could affect the C2 domain stability, the SynGAP-membrane association, and the SynGAP-Ras association.10.1016/j.ajhg.2020.11.011

In the variant simulations, the sec-butyl side chain of Ile723 cannot form any hydrogen bonds, which, in theory, could increase the helix stability. However, because the model ends abruptly at the C-terminus, no definite conclusions can be drawn based on the simulations.

Val400 is swapped for another hydrophobic residue, leucine, whose branched hydrocarbon side chain is of a comparable size and thus packs favorably within the C2 domain.

The hydroxyl side chain of Ser704 occasionally forms a hydrogen bond with the amide group of Ala707. However, in the variant simulations, the carboxamide side chain of Asn704 achieves more lasting and numerous hydrogen-bonding interactions with the residues at the helix end, such as Glu706, Ala707, and Leu708. Consequently, the residue swap could strengthen the α-helix secondary structure integrity at the helix end, which could have either positive or negative effects on its function.

This drastic effect could potentially reflect the challenge presented by the residue swap during the C2 domain folding. Because the residue swap affects the C2 domain structure, the SynGAP-membrane association could also be impacted. However, this is beyond the scope of the solvent-only simulations to unravel.

In the variant simulations, the hydroxyl group of Ser349 forms a hydrogen bond with the backbone amide group of Ala351 in the short helical section. Conversely, the backbone amide group of Ser349 (absent in proline) does not form any intra-protein hydrogen bonds. However, the β strand end connects to the α helical section in a more stable and consistent manner compared to the WT. Although the residue swap does not cause major adverse effects on the protein structure in the simulations, it is possible that the tight turn at the β strand end could not be created during folding without the presence of proline.

Importantly, the helix end is more stable than with Pro605 in the WT. Indeed, proline is a more effective secondary structure breaker compared to serine.Thus, the residue swap could have a more profound effect on the actual folding process, for example, by preventing the bending at the α helix end, than what the simulations suggest. Moreover, due to its location at the GAP-Ras interface, the residue swap could affect the GAP-Ras association.

Because the Ω loop is assumed to directly interact with the membrane, it moves arbitrarily throughout the WT solvent simulations. The Ω loop potentially plays a crucial role in the SynGAP-membrane complex association, stability, and dynamics. However, this aspect cannot be fully addressed through solvent simulations alone.Ω loops are known to play major roles in protein functions that require flexibility, and so they are rich in glycine residues, prolines, and, to a lesser extent, small hydrophilic residues to ensure maximum flexibility. Thus, the variant’s Pro385 is potentially tolerated in the Ω loop. However, since the effects on Gly-rich Ω loop dynamics can only be well studied through the SynGAP-membrane complex, no definite conclusions can be drawn.

In short, based on the simulations, the residue swap weakens the GAP domain tertiary structure assembly, which in turn could negatively affect protein folding.

Meanwhile, the indole ring of the Trp279 side chain is unable to hydrogen bond with the loop residues in the variant simulations. The lack of hydrogen bond or salt bridge formation with the loop residues could be significant, as Arg279 and the loops face the polar head group region of the membrane. Thus, although Trp279 could interact with the membrane surface as a “lipid anchor,” any changes to the wider loop dynamics could still adversely affect the formation of a stable SynGAP-membrane association.

Asp495 might not maintain the salt bridge with Arg596 on the opposing α-helix as efficiently as Glu495 in the WT, potentially weakening the tertiary structure. Regardless, the potential negative effect is likely to be minor, with no deleterious effects observed on the protein structure during the simulations.

This salt bridge is not maintained in the WT simulations. Additionally, the partially or loosely α helical conformation of a lysine-containing loop (res.

Thr305-Asn315), hydrogen bonds with the carboxylate groups of Glu270 and Asp304 in the anti-parallel β strand and the adjacent β hairpin loop, respectively. In the variant simulations, the methyl group of the Ala305 side chain cannot hydrogen bond with either of the acidic residues, which could weaken the integrity of the tertiary structure and the β hairpin loop. Indeed, the guanidinium group of Arg299 does not acquire its central hairpin loop position due to the residue swap.β hairpins are potential nucleation sites during the initial stages of protein folding, so even minor changes in them could be significant. Due to its location near the membrane surface, the residue swap could also affect the C2 loop dynamics and SynGAP-membrane association. However, this is beyond the scope of the solvent-only simulations to unravel.

In the variant simulations, the amino group of the Lys310 side chain hydrogen bonds with the GAP domain residues and forms a salt bridge with Glu613. Although no apparent negative effects are seen due to the residue swap, it is possible that the loss of hydrogen bonding with the hydroxyl group of the Thr295 side chain causes problems during folding, potentially compromising the twisting of the β sheet.

In the WT simulations, the phenol ring of Tyr497 hydrophobically packs with other residues in the inter-helix space (e.g., Leu465, Leu565, Val568). The hydroxyl group of Tyr497 also alternately forms hydrogen bonds with the carboxylate side chain of Gln456 and the backbone carbonyl of Glu564. Thus, Tyr497 plays a role in the folding and maintenance of the tertiary structure assembly between these four helices.In the variant simulations, the comparatively smaller residue, Cys497, cannot maintain any of the interactions seen with Tyr497 in the WT. Although no severe deleterious consequences are observed in the simulations, the structural effects could be more pronounced during actual protein folding. Indeed, the tertiary structure is seen to slightly break apart in the variant simulations.

In one simulation, three H-bonds were formed simultaneously with the Asp467 side chain, the backbone carbonyl group of Asn426, and the amide group of Met430 at the end of the same α helix.

Additionally, it shields Gly344 from the solvent, reducing its exposure and providing stability for the β-sandwich. This motif also contributes to a twist formation in the β sheet.In the variant simulations, the Cys342 side chain cannot participate in the stack formation. Instead, its thiol group forms a hydrogen bond with the backbone carbonyl group of Leu327. Although these changes in surface interactions could weaken the characteristic twist that strengthens the β sheet fold, no major structural effects are observed in the variant simulations. The residue swap could also affect the SynGAP-membrane association; however, this phenomenon cannot be addressed using solvent-only simulations. Notably, the thiol group of cysteine is not a particularly strong hydrogen-bonding partner, which could mitigate the negative effects of the residue swap.

Indeed, the β strand partially unfolds during the second simulation. Moreover, the positively charged Arg299 side chain faces the polar head group region of the inner leaflet membrane and could directly anchor the C2 domain to the membrane. In short, the residue swap could negatively affect both protein folding and the stability of the SynGAP-membrane association.

Arg563-Glu578), is considerably smaller than the tryptophan it replaced. The indole ring of the Trp572 side chain lies in a hydrophobic inter-helix space, where it makes extensive hydrophobic interactions with nearby residues such as Met470, Phe569, Leu588, and Ile589. In the variant simulations, all these favorable packing interactions are completely removed, as the introduced residue Ser572 is too hydrophilic or small to fill the hydrophobic niche occupied by the indole ring. Moreover, the hydroxyl group of Ser572 forms hydrogen bonds with the carbonyl groups of Glu567 and Val568 within the same α-helix, potentially lowering its integrity. Overall, the residue swap is highly likely to cause critical protein folding problems that are underestimated based on the effects seen in the variant simulations.

Gly341-Pro349), faces outward in the C2 domain. In the WT simulations, the phenol ring of Tyr342 contributes to a triple tyrosine stack (Tyr342, Tyr328, and Tyr281) that links together three anti-parallel β sheet strands. Additionally, it shields Gly344 from the solvent, reducing its exposure and providing stability for the β-sandwich. This motif also contributes to a twist formation in the β sheet.In the variant simulations, the Ser342 side chain cannot participate in the stack formation. Instead, the hydroxyl group of the Ser342 side chain forms a hydrogen bond with the imidazole ring of His326 in a neighboring β strand (res. Ala322-Asp330). This disrupts the formation of a hydrogen bond between His326 and the carboxylate group of the Glu283 side chain from another β strand (res. Arg279-Cys285). Although these changes in surface interactions could weaken the characteristic twist that strengthens the β sheet fold, no major structural effects are observed in the variant simulations. The residue swap could also affect the SynGAP-membrane association, as the hydroxyl group of Ser342 could form hydrogen bonds with membrane-facing loop residues. However, this phenomenon cannot be addressed using solvent-only simulations.

In contrast, in the variant simulations, the imidazole ring of His515 cannot form salt bridges with either of the acidic residues, and its side chain is too short to form hydrogen bonds with the loop residues. Accordingly, the residue swap could weaken the tertiary structure assembly of the protein. Due to the missing N-terminal part of the SynGAP model, the effect could be largely underestimated or missing. Notably, the doubly protonated and positively charged form of histidine was not simulated here.

Leu489-Glu519), and its carboxylate group forms salt bridges with the neighbouring residues Lys492 and Arg499 in the WT simulations. Glu496 also forms a hydrogen bond with Ser449 on an opposing helix (res. Val441-Ser457). In the variant simulations, Gly496 cannot form these salt bridges, which could weaken the secondary structure. Additionally, the loss of the hydrogen bond with Ser449 on the opposite helix can weaken the tertiary structure assembly. Moreover, glycine is an α-helix breaker, and it is seen to weaken the integrity of the helix as the hydrogen bonding between the backbone atoms of Gly496 and Ala493 breaks down. Also, due to its location at the GAP-Ras interface, the interaction of Glu496 with Arg499 and Lys492 might play a role in complex association and stability, which cannot be fully addressed using the SynGAP solvent-only simulations.

Met414-Glu436), forms a salt bridge with the side chain of either Arg716 or Lys418 from an opposing helix (res. Pro713-Arg726). The backbone amide group of Glu419 does not form H-bonds, resulting in a slight bend in the α helix. Thus, although glycine is known as an “α helix breaker,” the residue swap does not disrupt the continuity or integrity of the α helix. However, because Gly419 cannot form a salt bridge with the guanidinium group of the Arg716 side chain, the C2-GAP domain tertiary structure could be compromised during folding.

Ala533-Val560). In the WT simulations, the guanidinium side chain of Arg544 forms a salt bridge with the carboxylate groups of Glu548 on the same α-helix, and with Glu651 and Glu656 on an opposing α-helix (res. Glu666-Asp644). In the variant simulations, the pyrrolidine side chain of Pro544 cannot form any of the salt bridges that Arg544 does in the WT, potentially weakening the tertiary structure assembly. Additionally, Pro544 lacks the amide group, and thus, unlike Arg544 in the WT, is unable to form a hydrogen bond with the carbonyl of Gln540. This disruption breaks the continuity of the secondary structure element, causing the α-helix to bend slightly in the variant simulations. These negative structural effects could be more pronounced during protein folding and are likely to be undermined in the MD simulations.

Lys254-Asn256) and Glu244 (from a nearby loop) in the WT simulations. In the variant simulations, the pyrrolidine side chain of Pro248 cannot form any salt bridges, which could negatively affect the tertiary structure assembly of the PH domain. Additionally, Pro248 lacks a free amide group needed for hydrogen bonding with the backbone carbonyl group of Asn245, disrupting the continuity of the α helix.

Arg563-Glu578), is considerably smaller than the tryptophan it replaced. The indole ring of the Trp572 side chain lies in a hydrophobic inter-helix space, where it makes extensive hydrophobic interactions with nearby residues such as Met470, Phe569, Leu588, and Ile589. In the variant simulations, all these favorable packing interactions are completely removed, as the introduced residue Gly572 essentially lacks a side chain altogether. Although not observed in the simulations, the residue swap could also weaken the integrity of the helix (res. Arg563-Glu578), as glycine is known as an “α-helix breaker.” Overall, the residue swap is highly likely to cause critical protein folding problems that are underestimated based on the effects seen in the variant simulations.

Met289-Pro298), packs against the phenol ring of the Tyr281 side chain or forms a salt bridge with the carboxylate group of Glu283 on the outer side of the C2 domain. In the WT simulations, the positively charged side chain of arginine remains outside the hydrophobic C2 domain, resulting in a twist in the β strand. The backbone amide bond of Arg293 potentially maintains this twist by forming a hydrogen bond with the carbonyl group of His210 or the hydroxyl group of Ser211 in the anti-parallel β sheet.Although this twist is also maintained in the variant simulations, replacing the positively charged residue with proline, which lacks the backbone amide group altogether, causes the β strand to unfold. Because Arg293 is positioned at the C2 and PH domain interface, the residue swap could significantly impact the tertiary structure assembly. Notably, Arg293 is located at the SynGAP-Ras interface, and its role in complex formation cannot be fully understood through solvent-only simulations.
