Observing selected domains in multi-domain proteins via sortase-mediated ligation and NMR spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT: NMR spectroscopy has distinct advantages for providing insight into protein structures, but faces significant resolution challenges as protein size increases. To alleviate such resonance overlap issues, the ability to produce segmentally labeled proteins is beneficial. Here we show that the S. aureus transpeptidase sortase A can be used to catalyze the ligation of two separately expressed domains of the same protein, MecA (B. subtilis). The yield of purified, segmentally labeled MecA protein conjugate is approximately 40%. The resultant HSQC spectrum obtained from this domain-labeled conjugate demonstrates successful application of sortase A for segmental labeling of multi-domain proteins for solution NMR study.

Sortase-Mediated Multi-Fragment Assemblies by Ligation Site Switching.

Project description:Sortase-mediated ligation (SML) is a powerful tool of protein chemistry allowing the ligation of peptides containing LPxTG sorting motifs and N-terminal glycine nucleophiles. The installation of a sorting motif into the product prohibits the assembly of multiple fragments by SML. Here we report multi-fragment SML based on switchable sortase substrates. Substitution of the Leu residue by disulfide-containing Cys(StBu) results in active sorting motifs, which are inactivatable by reduction. In combination with a photo-protected N-Gly nucleophile, multi-fragment SML is enabled by repetitive cycles of SML and ligation site switching. The feasibility of this approach was demonstrated by a proof-of-concept four-fragment ligation, the assembly of peptide probes for bivalent chromatin binding proteins and oligomerization of peptide antigens. Biochemical and immuno-assays demonstrated functionality of these probes rendering them promising tools for immunology and chromatin biochemistry.

Observing enzyme ternary transition state analogue complexes by 19F NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:Ternary transition state analogue (TSA) complexes probing the isomerization of β-d-glucose 1-phosphate (G1P) into d-glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) catalyzed by catalytically active, fluorinated (5-fluorotryptophan), β-phosphoglucomutase (βPGM) have been observed directly by 19F NMR spectroscopy. In these complexes MgF3- and AlF4- are surrogates for the transferring phosphate. However, the relevance of these metal fluorides as TSA complexes has been queried. The 1D 19F spectrum of a ternary TSA complex presented a molar equivalence between fluorinated enzyme, metal fluoride and non-isomerizable fluoromethylenephosphonate substrate analogue. Ring flips of the 5-fluoroindole ring remote from the active site were observed by both 19F NMR and X-ray crystallography, but did not perturb function. This data unequivocally demonstrates that the concentration of the metal fluoride complexes is equivalent to the concentration of enzyme and ligand in the TSA complex in aqueous solution.

Covalent Modification of Synthetic Hydrogels with Bioactive Proteins via Sortase-Mediated Ligation.

Project description:Synthetic extracellular matrices are widely used in regenerative medicine and as tools in building in vitro physiological culture models. Synthetic hydrogels display advantageous physical properties, but are challenging to modify with large peptides or proteins. Here, a facile, mild enzymatic postgrafting approach is presented. Sortase-mediated ligation was used to conjugate human epidermal growth factor fused to a GGG ligation motif (GGG-EGF) to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels containing the sortase LPRTG substrate. The reversibility of the sortase reaction was then exploited to cleave tethered EGF from the hydrogels for analysis. Analyses of the reaction supernatant and the postligation hydrogels showed that the amount of tethered EGF increases with increasing LPRTG in the hydrogel or GGG-EGF in the supernatant. Sortase-tethered EGF was biologically active, as demonstrated by stimulation of DNA synthesis in primary human hepatocytes and endometrial epithelial cells. The simplicity, specificity, and reversibility of sortase-mediated ligation and cleavage reactions make it an attractive approach for modification of hydrogels.

Proximity-Based Sortase-Mediated Ligation.

Project description:Protein bioconjugation has been a crucial tool for studying biological processes and developing therapeutics. Sortase?A (SrtA), a bacterial transpeptidase, has become widely used for its ability to site-specifically label proteins with diverse functional moieties, but a significant limitation is its poor reaction kinetics. In this work, we address this by developing proximity-based sortase-mediated ligation (PBSL), which improves the ligation efficiency to over 95?% by linking the target protein to SrtA using the SpyTag-SpyCatcher peptide-protein pair. By expressing the target protein with SpyTag C-terminal to the SrtA recognition motif, it can be covalently captured by an immobilized SpyCatcher-SrtA fusion protein during purification. Following the ligation reaction, SpyTag is cleaved off, rendering PBSL traceless, and only the labeled protein is released, simplifying target protein purification and labeling to a single step.

Covalent attachment of proteins to solid supports and surfaces via Sortase-mediated ligation.

Project description:BackgroundThere is growing interest in the attachment of proteins to solid supports for the development of supported catalysts, affinity matrices, and micro devices as well as for the development of planar and bead based protein arrays for multiplexed assays of protein concentration, interactions, and activity. A critical requirement for these applications is the generation of a stable linkage between the solid support and the immobilized, but still functional, protein.MethodologySolid supports including crosslinked polymer beads, beaded agarose, and planar glass surfaces, were modified to present an oligoglycine motif to solution. A range of proteins were ligated to the various surfaces using the Sortase A enzyme of S. aureus. Reactions were carried out in aqueous buffer conditions at room temperature for times between one and twelve hours.ConclusionsThe Sortase A transpeptidase of S. aureus provides a general, robust, and gentle approach to the selective covalent immobilization of proteins on three very different solid supports. The proteins remain functional and accessible to solution. Sortase mediated ligation is therefore a straightforward methodology for the preparation of solid supported enzymes and bead based assays, as well as the modification of planar surfaces for microanalytical devices and protein arrays.

Characterizing conformational ensembles of multi-domain proteins using anisotropic paramagnetic NMR restraints.

Project description:It has been over two decades since paramagnetic NMR started to form part of the essential techniques for structural analysis of proteins under physiological conditions. Paramagnetic NMR has significantly expanded our understanding of the inherent flexibility of proteins, in particular, those that are formed by combinations of two or more domains. Here, we present a brief overview of techniques to characterize conformational ensembles of such multi-domain proteins using paramagnetic NMR restraints produced through anisotropic metals, with a focus on the basics of anisotropic paramagnetic effects, the general procedures of conformational ensemble reconstruction, and some representative reweighting approaches.

Protein ligation in living cells using sortase.

Project description:Sortagging is a versatile method for site-specific modification of proteins as applied to a variety of in vitro reactions. Here, we explore possibilities of adapting the sortase method for use in living cells. For intracellular sortagging, we employ the Ca²⁺-independent sortase A transpeptidase (SrtA) from Streptococcus pyogenes. Substrate proteins were equipped with the C-terminal sortase-recognition motif (LPXTG); we used proteins with an N-terminal (oligo)glycine as nucleophiles. We show that sortase-dependent protein ligation can be achieved in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and in mammalian HEK293T cells, both in the cytosol and in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). ER luminal sortagging enables secretion of the reaction products, among which circular polypeptides. Protein ligation of substrate and nucleophile occurs within 30 min of translation. The versatility of the method is shown by protein ligation of multiple substrates with green fluorescent protein-based nucleophiles in different intracellular compartments.

Widespread evolutionary crosstalk among protein domains in the context of multi-domain proteins.

Project description:Domains are distinct units within proteins that typically can fold independently into recognizable three-dimensional structures to facilitate their functions. The structural and functional independence of protein domains is reflected by their apparent modularity in the context of multi-domain proteins. In this work, we examined the coupling of evolution of domain sequences co-occurring within multi-domain proteins to see if it proceeds independently, or in a coordinated manner. We used continuous information theory measures to assess the extent of correlated mutations among domains in multi-domain proteins from organisms across the tree of life. In all multi-domain architectures we examined, domains co-occurring within protein sequences had to some degree undergone concerted evolution. This finding challenges the notion of complete modularity and independence of protein domains, providing new perspective on the evolution of protein sequence and function.

Combined multi-band decoupling in biomolecular NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:Multi-resonance NMR experiments are powerful analytical and structural tools. Their conceptualization assumes that RF fields may be combined independently to manipulate spin interactions. However, practical implementation can compromise performance. One limitation is the generation of combination bands when two or more RF fields are applied simultaneously within the NMR probe. The combination bands can lead to significant interference with the detection circuitry. A facile approach to combined multi-band decoupling can resolve these problems and increase sensitivity two-fold (or more), by time sharing the application of the individual frequencies rather than time sharing decoupling and data acquisition.

Sortase-Mediated Ligation of Purely Artificial Building Blocks.

Project description:Sortase A (SrtA) from Staphylococcus aureus has been often used for ligating a protein with other natural or synthetic compounds in recent years. Here we show that SrtA-mediated ligation (SML) is universally applicable for the linkage of two purely artificial building blocks. Silica nanoparticles (NPs), poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) are chosen as synthetic building blocks. As a proof of concept, NP⁻polymer, NP⁻NP, and polymer⁻polymer structures are formed by SrtA catalysis. Therefore, the building blocks are equipped with the recognition sequence needed for SrtA reaction-the conserved peptide LPETG-and a pentaglycine motif. The successful formation of the reaction products is shown by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-ToF MS), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The sortase catalyzed linkage of artificial building blocks sets the stage for the development of a new approach to link synthetic structures in cases where their synthesis by established chemical methods is complicated.
