Expression of a trefoil-fold sequence and circular permutants shows that only the wild-type N-terminal motif definition yields an intact β-trefoil trimeric assembly, while permutants yield monomers. The results elucidate the folding requirements of the primordial trefoil-fold motif, and also suggest that this motif may sample a compact conformation that limits hydrophobic residue exposure, contains key trefoil-fold structural features, but is more structurally homologous to a β-propeller blade motif.
