Prevalence of one or more partially folded intermediates during protein unfolding with different secondary and ternary conformations has been identified as an integral character of protein unfolding. These transition-state species need to be characterized structurally for elucidation of their folding pathways. We have determined the three-dimensional structure of an intermediate state with increased conformational space sampling under urea-denaturing condition. The protein unfolds completely at 10 M urea but retains residual secondary structural propensities with restricted motion. Here, we describe the native state, observable intermediate state, and unfolded state for ETR-3 RRM-3, which has canonical RRM fold. These observations can shed more light on unfolding events for RRM-containing proteins.
