Highlights

>Random-coil linkers (-polyGly here) maintain the domain independence in polyproteins of Immunoglobulin repeats.

>Linkers (-RS here) that facilitate interdomain contacts may alter the energy landscape of individual domains cooperatively.

>A simple tripeptide-based modeling approach captures the inter-domain orientations across the IDLs.

Therapeutic remedy to Age-related hearing-loss (ARHL) still remains myth in absence of biophysical models for aging. We, in search of biophysical model for ARHL, traced a single-point mutation, serine to proline, in tip-link protein that aggressively progresses the hearing-loss at early ages. We report a loss in the circular cross-correlated motions among intradomain β-strands that restore proteins from conformational deformations from sound stimuli with mutation, and may trigger ARHL with normal aging.

Mutations at the Ca2+ binding linker regions alter the force-propagation through the tip-links and promote the force-induced dissociation.
