Exploring Chromophore-Binding Pocket: High-Resolution Solid-State H-C Interfacial Correlation NMR Spectra with Windowed PMLG Scheme.

ABSTRACT: High-resolution two-dimensional (2D) (1)H-(13)C heteronuclear correlation spectra are recorded for selective observation of interfacial 3-5.5 Å contacts of the uniformly (13)C-labeled phycocyanobilin (PCB) chromophore with its unlabeled binding pocket. The experiment is based on a medium- and long-distance heteronuclear correlation (MELODI-HETCOR) method. For improving (1)H spectral resolution, a windowed phase-modulated Lee-Goldburg (wPMLG) decoupling scheme is applied during the t(1) evolution period. Our approach allows for identification of chromophore-protein interactions, in particular for elucidation of the hydrogen-bonding networks and charge distributions within the chromophore-binding pocket. The resulting pulse sequence is tested on the cyanobacterial (Cph1) phytochrome sensory module (residues 1-514, Cph1?2) containing uniformly (13)C- and (15)N-labeled PCB chromophore (u-[(13)C,(15)N]-PCB-Cph1?2) at 17.6 T.

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.
