Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) show structural changes stimulated by changes in external conditions. This study aims to reveal the temperature dependence of the structure and the dynamics of the intrinsically disordered region of the helicase-associated endonuclease for fork-structured DNA, one of the typical IDPs, using an integrative approach. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and circular dichroism (CD) studies revealed that the radius of gyration and ellipticity at 222 nm remained constant up to 313-323 K, followed by a decline above this temperature range. NMR studies revealed the absence of a promotion of the α helix. As a result, SAXS, CD, and NMR data strongly suggest that these temperature-dependent structural changes were primarily due to a reduction in the content of the polyproline II (PPII) helix. Moreover, quasielastic neutron scattering studies revealed a slight change in the activation energy in a similar temperature range. Considering the concept of glass transition, it is posited that dynamical cooperativity between the PPII helix and water may play a significant role in these structural changes. The findings suggest that internal dynamics are crucial for regulating the structure of IDPs, highlighting the importance of considering dynamical cooperativity in future studies of protein behavior under varying temperature conditions.
