The insect sex peptide (SP) elicits a variety of biological responses upon transfer to the mated female. SP contains 36 amino acids, including a tryptophan-rich N-terminal region, a central region containing five hydroxyproline (Hyp) residues, and a C-terminal region enclosed by a disulfide bridge. The solution structure of SP, studied here using NMR spectroscopy, includes a motif WPWN that adopts a type I ?-turn in the N-terminal Trp-rich region. This turn region is connected to the central Hyp-rich region, which adopts extended and/or PPII-like conformations. The C-terminal disulfide-bonded loop populates helical turns or nascent helical structure. Overall, the results reveal a rather flexible peptide that lacks a compact folded structure in solution.

Prediction of Xaa-Pro peptide bond conformation from sequence and chemical shifts
Abstract We present a program, named Promega, to predict the Xaa-Pro peptide bond conformation on the basis of backbone chemical shifts and the amino acid sequence. Using a chemical shift database of proteins of known structure together with the PDB-extracted amino acid preference of cis Xaa-Pro peptide bonds, a cis/trans probability score is calculated from the backbone and 13Cβ chemical shifts of the proline and its neighboring residues. For an arbitrary number of input chemical shifts, which may include Pro-13Cγ, Promega calculates the statistical probability that a Xaa-Pro peptide bond...
