Robust AMBER Force Field Parameters for Glutathionylated Cysteines

Résumé

S-glutathionylation is an oxidative post-translational modification, which is involved in the regulation of many cell signaling pathways. Increasing amounts of studies show that it is crucial in cell homeostasis and deregulated in several pathologies. However, the effect of S-glutathionylation on proteins' structure and activity is poorly understood, and a drastic lack of structural information at the atomic scale remains. Studies based on the use of molecular dynamics simulations, which can provide important information about modification-induced modulation of proteins' structure and function, are also sparse, and there is no benchmarked force field parameters for this modified cysteine. In this contribution, we provide robust AMBER parameters for S-glutathionylation, which we tested extensively against experimental data through a total of 33 µs molecular dynamics simulations. We show that our parameter set efficiently describes the global and local structural properties of S-glutathionylated proteins. These data provide the community with an important tool to foster new investigations into the effect of S-glutathionylation on protein dynamics and function, in a common effort to unravel the structural mechanisms underlying its critical role in cellular processes.
