The 26-amino-acid pre-sequence of the ATP synthase beta subunit that directs the protein from the cytosol to mitochondria in the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has been synthesised and analysed using NMR spectroscopy/circular dichroism and compared to a chloroplast transit peptide from the same organism. The results demonstrate that the peptide, though mainly unstructured in water, undergoes a strong conformational change in a 36% water/64% 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol mixture. In this solvent condition, an alpha-helix was characterised by NMR from residue 2 to 26. Structure calculations under NMR restraints lead to a population of models of which 60% are kinked at position 9-10. Structural analysis indicates two hydrophobic sectors on the models with a discontinuity at the 9-10 kink level. The structures suggest a different interaction mode with the mitochondrial membrane compared to the chloroplast transit peptide.
