The cis conformation of the 38-39 peptide bond of ribonuclease T1 is retained after the replacement of cis Pro39 by an alanine residue. This conformation is demonstrated by the presence of a NOESY cross-peak in the NMR spectrum between the C alpha protons of Tyr38 and Ala39 in the Pro39-->Ala variant. The presence of this non-prolyl cis peptide bond explains the retention of the catalytic activity, the strong decrease in stability and the changes in the folding mechanism that were observed after the Pro39-->Ala mutation in ribonuclease T1. We suggest that a cis peptide bond is retained in a protein after the substitution of a cis proline at positions, where a trans bond would destabilize the protein more strongly than a non-prolyl peptide bond in the energetically unfavourable cis conformation.
