The first proteins in the cascade are common to all organisms (EI and HPr). The active site of HPr involves a histidine (His15) located immediately before the beginning of the first α-helix. The regulator of sigma D (Rsd) protein also binds to HPr. The region of HPr comprising residues Gly9-Ala30 (HPr), involving the first α-helix (Ala16-Thr27) and the preceding active site loop, binds to both the N-terminal region of EI and intact Rsd. HPr is mainly disordered. We attempted to improve the affinity of HPr to both proteins by mutating its sequence to increase its helicity. We designed peptides that led to a marginally larger population in solution of the helical structure of HPr. Molecular simulations also suggested a modest increment in the helical population of mutants, when compared to the wild-type. The mutants, however, were bound with a less favorable affinity than the wild-type to both the N-terminal of EI (EIN) or Rsd, as tested by isothermal titration calorimetry and fluorescence. Furthermore, mutants showed lower antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus than the wild-type peptide. The refore, we concluded that in HPr, a compromise between binding to its partners and residual structure at the active site must exist to carry out its function.This research was funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness and European ERDF Funds (MCIU/AEI/FEDER, EU) (RTI2018-097991-B-I00 to J.L.N., BFU2016-78232-P to A.V.-C., BES-2017-080739 to D.O.-A., and RTI2018-101969-J-I00 to A.F.).
