The interaction of two folding intermediate mimetics of the model protein substrate Fyn SH3 with the chaperonin GroEL, a supramolecular foldase/unfoldase machine, has been investigated by 15 N relaxation-based nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (lifetime line broadening, dark state exchange saturation transfer, and relaxation dispersion). The two mimetics comprise C-terminal truncations of wild-type and triple-mutant (A39V/N53P/V55L) Fyn SH3 in which the C-terminal strand of the SH3 domain is unfolded, while preserving the remaining domain structure. Quantitative analysis of the data reveals that a mobile state of the SH3 domain confined and tethered within the cavity of GroEL, possibly through interactions with the disordered, methionine-rich C-terminal tail(s), can be detected, and that the native state of the folding intermediate mimetics is stabilized by both confinement within and binding to apo GroEL. These data provide a basis for understanding the passive activity of GroEL as a foldase/unfoldase: the unfolded state, in the absence of hydrophobic GroEL-binding consensus sequences, is destabilized within the cavity because of its larger radius of gyration compared to that of the folding intermediate, while the folding intermediate is stabilized relative to the native state because of exposure of a hydrophobic patch that favors GroEL binding.
