GFT projection NMR spectroscopy for proteins in the solid state.

ABSTRACT: Recording of four-dimensional (4D) spectra for proteins in the solid state has opened new avenues to obtain virtually complete resonance assignments and three-dimensional (3D) structures of proteins. As in solution state NMR, the sampling of three indirect dimensions leads per se to long minimal measurement time. Furthermore, artifact suppression in solid state NMR relies primarily on radio-frequency pulse phase cycling. For an n-step phase cycle, the minimal measurement times of both 3D and 4D spectra are increased n times. To tackle the associated 'sampling problem' and to avoid sampling limited data acquisition, solid state G-Matrix Fourier Transform (SS GFT) projection NMR is introduced to rapidly acquire 3D and 4D spectral information. Specifically, (4,3)D (HA)CANCOCX and (3,2)D (HACA)NCOCX were implemented and recorded for the 6 kDa protein GB1 within about 10% of the time required for acquiring the conventional congeners with the same maximal evolution times and spectral widths in the indirect dimensions. Spectral analysis was complemented by comparative analysis of expected spectral congestion in conventional and GFT NMR experiments, demonstrating that high spectral resolution of the GFT NMR experiments enables one to efficiently obtain nearly complete resonance assignments even for large proteins.

Project description:Quadrupolar solid-state NMR carries a wealth of structural information, including insights about chemical environments arising through the determination of local coupling parameters. Current methods can successfully resolve these parameters for individual sites using sample-spinning methods techniques applicable to quadrupolar I ≥ 1 nuclei, provided second-order central transition broadenings do not exceed by much the spinning rate. For large quadrupolar coupling (C Q) values, however, static acquisitions are often preferable, leading to challenges in extracting local structural information. This study explores the use of two-dimensional QUadrupolar Isotope Correlation SpectroscopY (QUICSY) experiments as a means to increase the NMR spectral resolution and enrich the characterization of quadrupolar NMR patterns under static conditions. QUICSY seeks to correlate the solid-state NMR powder line shapes for two quadrupolar isotopes belonging to the same element via a 2D experiment. In general, two isotopes of the same element will have different nuclear quadrupole moments, gyromagnetic ratios, and spin numbers but essentially identical chemical environments. The possibility then arises of obtaining sharp "ridges" in these 2D correlations, even in static samples showing large quadrupolar effects, which lead to second-order line shapes that are several kilohertz wide. Moreover, pairs of quadrupolar isotopes are recurrent in the periodic table and include important elements such as 35,37Cl, 69,71Ga, 79,81Br, and 85,87Rb. The potential of this approach is explored theoretically and experimentally on two rubidium-containing salts: RbClO4 and Rb2SO4. We find that each compound gives rise to distinctive 2D QUICSY line shapes, depending on the quadrupolar and chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) parameters of its sites. These experimental line shapes show good agreement with analytically derived 2D spectra relying on literature values of the quadrupolar and CSA tensors of these compounds. The approach underlined here paves the way toward better characterization of wideline NMR spectra of quadrupolar nuclei possessing different nuclear isotopes.
