Amide proton exchange of a dynamic loop in cell extracts.

ABSTRACT: Intrinsic rates of exchange are essential parameters for obtaining protein stabilities from amide (1) H exchange data. To understand the influence of the intracellular environment on stability, one must know the effect of the cytoplasm on these rates. We probed exchange rates in buffer and in Escherichia coli lysates for the dynamic loop in the small globular protein chymotrypsin inhibitor 2 using a modified form of the nuclear magnetic resonance experiment, SOLEXSY. No significant changes were observed, even in 100 g dry weight L(-1) lysate. Our results suggest that intrinsic rates from studies conducted in buffers are applicable to studies conducted under cellular conditions.

Dynamic Polyamide Networks via Amide-Imide Exchange.

Project description:The diamide-imide equilibrium was successfully exploited for the synthesis of dynamic covalent polymer networks in which a dissociative bond exchange mechanism leads to high processibility at temperatures above ≈110 °C. Dynamic covalent networks bridge the gap between thermosets and thermoplastic polymers. At the operating temperature, when the network is fixed, dynamic covalent networks are elastic solids, while at high temperatures, chemical exchange reactions turn the network into a processible viscoelastic material. Upon heating a dissociative network, the viscosity may also decrease due to a shift of the chemical equilibrium; in such materials, the balance between processibility and excessive flow is important. In this study, a network is prepared that upon heating to above ≈110 °C dissociates to a significant extent due to a shift in the amide-imide equilibrium of a bisimide, pyromellitic diimide, in combination with poly(tetrahydrofuran) diamines. At room temperature, the resulting materials are elastic rubbers with a tensile modulus of 2-10 MPa, and they become predominantly viscous above a temperature of approximately 110 °C, which is dependent on the stoichiometry of the components. The diamide-imide equilibrium was studied in model reactions with NMR, and variable temperature infrared (IR) spectroscopy was used to investigate the temperature dependence of the equilibrium in the network. The temperature-dependent mechanical properties of the networks were found to be fully reversible, and the material could be reprocessed several times without loss of properties such as modulus or strain at break. The high processibility of these networks at elevated temperatures creates opportunities in additive manufacturing applications such as selective laser sintering.

Investigation of the Amide Proton Solvent Exchange Properties of Glycosaminoglycan Oligosaccharides.

Project description:One-dimensional 1H NMR experiments were conducted for aqueous solutions of glycosaminoglycan oligosaccharides to measure the amide proton temperature coefficients and activation energy barriers for solvent exchange and evaluate the effect of pH on the solvent exchange properties. A library of mono- and oligosaccharides was prepared by enzymatic depolymerization of amide-containing polysaccharides and by chemical modification of heparin and heparan sulfate saccharides including members that contain a 3- O-sulfated glucosamine residue. The systematic evaluation of this saccharide library facilitated assessment of the effects of structural characteristics, such as size, sulfation number and site, and glycosidic linkage, on amide proton solvent exchange rates. Charge repulsion by neighboring negatively charged sulfate and carboxylate groups was found to have a significant impact on the catalysis of amide proton solvent exchange by hydroxide. This observation leads to the conclusion that solvent exchange rates must be interpreted within the context of a given chemical environment. On their own, slow exchange rates do not conclusively establish the involvement of a labile proton in a hydrogen bond, and additional supporting experimental evidence such as reduced temperature coefficients is required.

Quantifying amide proton exchange rate and concentration in chemical exchange saturation transfer imaging of the human brain.

Project description:Current chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) neuroimaging protocols typically acquire CEST-weighted images, and, as such, do not essentially provide quantitative proton-specific exchange rates (or brain pH) and concentrations. We developed a dictionary-free MR fingerprinting (MRF) technique to allow CEST parameter quantification with a reduced data set. This was accomplished by subgrouping proton exchange models (SPEM), taking amide proton transfer (APT) as an example, into two-pool (water and semisolid macromolecules) and three-pool (water, semisolid macromolecules, and amide protons) models. A variable radiofrequency saturation scheme was used to generate unique signal evolutions for different tissues, reflecting their CEST parameters. The proposed MRF-SPEM method was validated using Bloch-McConnell equation-based digital phantoms with known ground-truth, which showed that MRF-SPEM can achieve a high degree of accuracy and precision for absolute CEST parameter quantification and CEST phantoms. For in-vivo studies at 3 T, using the same model as in the simulations, synthetic Z-spectra were generated using rates and concentrations estimated from the MRF-SPEM reconstruction and compared with experimentally measured Z-spectra as the standard for optimization. The MRF-SPEM technique can provide rapid and quantitative human brain CEST mapping.

Amide proton solvent protection in amylin fibrils probed by quenched hydrogen exchange NMR.

Project description:Amylin is an endocrine hormone that accumulates in amyloid plaques in patients with advanced type 2 diabetes. The amyloid plaques have been implicated in the destruction of pancreatic ?-cells, which synthesize amylin and insulin. To better characterize the secondary structure of amylin in amyloid fibrils we assigned the NMR spectrum of the unfolded state in 95% DMSO and used a quenched hydrogen-deuterium exchange technique to look at amide proton solvent protection in the fibrils. In this technique, partially exchanged fibrils are dissolved in 95% DMSO and information about amide proton occupancy in the fibrils is determined from DMSO-denatured monomers. Hydrogen exchange lifetimes at pH 7.6 and 37°C vary between ?5 h for the unstructured N-terminus to 600 h for amide protons in the two ?-strands that form inter-molecular hydrogen bonds between amylin monomers along the length of the fibril. Based on the protection data we conclude that residues A8-H18 and I26-Y37 comprise the two ?-strands in amylin fibrils. There is variation in protection within the ?-strands, particularly for strand ?1 where only residues F15-H18 are strongly protected. Differences in protection appear to be due to restrictions on backbone dynamics imposed by the packing of two-layers of C2-symmetry-related ?-hairpins in the protofilament structure, with strand ?1 positioned on the surface and ?2 in the interior.

Investigations into whole water, prototropic and amide proton exchange in lanthanide(III) DOTA-tetraamide chelates.

Project description:Lanthanide(III) chelates of DOTA-tetraamide ligands have been an area of particular interest since the discovery that water exchange kinetics are dramatically affected by the switch from acetate to amide side-chain donors. More recently these chelates have attracted interest as potential PARACEST agents for use in MRI. In this paper we report the results of studies using chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) and some more recently reported chelates to re-examine the exchange processes in this class of chelate. We find that the conclusions of Parker and Aime are, for the most part, solid; water exchange is slow and a substantial amount of prototropic exchange occurs in aqueous solution. The extent of prototropic exchange increases as the pH increases above 8, leading to higher relaxivities at high pH. However, amide protons are found to contribute only a small amount to the relaxivity at high pH.

Probing the excited-state chemical shifts and exchange parameters by nitrogen-decoupled amide proton chemical exchange saturation transfer (HNdec-CEST).

Project description:CEST-NMR spectroscopy is a powerful tool for probing the conformational dynamics of macromolecules. We present a HNdec-CEST experiment that simplifies the relaxation matrix, reduces fitting parameters, and enhances signal resolution. Importantly, fitting of HNdec-CEST profiles enables robust extraction of exchange rates as well as excited-state chemical shifts and populations.

Subzero temperature chromatography for reduced back-exchange and improved dynamic range in amide hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry.

Project description:Amide hydrogen/deuterium exchange is a commonly used technique for studying the dynamics of proteins and their interactions with other proteins or ligands. When coupled with liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry, hydrogen/deuterium exchange provides several unique advantages over other structural characterization techniques including very high sensitivity, the ability to analyze proteins in complex environments, and a large mass range. A fundamental limitation of the technique arises from the loss of the deuterium label (back-exchange) during the course of the analysis. A method to limit loss of the label during the separation stage of the analysis using subzero temperature reversed-phase chromatography is presented. The approach is facilitated by the use of buffer modifiers that prevent freezing. We evaluated ethylene glycol, dimethyl formamide, formamide, and methanol for their freezing point suppression capabilities, effects on peptide retention, and their compatibilities with electrospray ionization. Ethylene glycol was used extensively because of its good electrospray ionization compatibility; however, formamide has potential to be a superior modifier if detrimental effects on ionization can be overcome. It is demonstrated using suitable buffer modifiers that separations can be performed at temperatures as low as -30 °C with negligible loss of the deuterium label, even during long chromatographic separations. The reduction in back-exchange is shown to increase the dynamic range of hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry in terms of mixture complexity and the magnitude with which changes in deuteration level can be quantified.

NMR resonance assignments of sparsely labeled proteins: amide proton exchange correlations in native and denatured states.

Project description:Protein NMR assignments of large proteins using traditional triple resonance techniques depends on double or triple labeling of samples with (15)N, (13)C, and (2)H. This is not always practical with proteins that require expression in nonbacterial hosts. Labeling with isotopically labeled versions of single amino acids (sparse labeling) often is possible; however, resonance assignment then requires a new strategy. Here a procedure for the assignment of cross-peaks in (15)N-(1)H correlation spectra of sparsely labeled proteins is presented. It relies on the correlation of proton-deuterium amide exchange rates in native and denatured spectra of the intact protein, followed by correlation of chemical shifts in the spectra of the denatured protein with chemical shifts of sequenced peptides derived from the protein. The procedure is successfully demonstrated on a sample of a protein, Galectin-3, selectively labeled with (15)N at all alanine residues.

How amide hydrogens exchange in native proteins.

Project description:Amide hydrogen exchange (HX) is widely used in protein biophysics even though our ignorance about the HX mechanism makes data interpretation imprecise. Notably, the open exchange-competent conformational state has not been identified. Based on analysis of an ultralong molecular dynamics trajectory of the protein BPTI, we propose that the open (O) states for amides that exchange by subglobal fluctuations are locally distorted conformations with two water molecules directly coordinated to the N-H group. The HX protection factors computed from the relative O-state populations agree well with experiment. The O states of different amides show little or no temporal correlation, even if adjacent residues unfold cooperatively. The mean residence time of the O state is ?100 ps for all examined amides, so the large variation in measured HX rate must be attributed to the opening frequency. A few amides gain solvent access via tunnels or pores penetrated by water chains including native internal water molecules, but most amides access solvent by more local structural distortions. In either case, we argue that an overcoordinated N-H group is necessary for efficient proton transfer by Grotthuss-type structural diffusion.

Direct saturation-corrected chemical exchange saturation transfer MRI of glioma: Simplified decoupling of amide proton transfer and nuclear overhauser effect contrasts.

Project description:PurposeChemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI has shown promise in tissue characterization in diseases like stroke and tumor. However, in vivo CEST imaging such as amide proton transfer (APT) MRI is challenging because of concomitant factors such as direct water saturation, macromolecular magnetization transfer, and nuclear overhauser effect (NOE), which lead to a complex contrast in the commonly used asymmetry analysis (MTRasym). Here, we propose a direct saturation-corrected CEST (DISC-CEST) analysis for simplified decoupling and quantification of in vivo CEST effects.MethodsCEST MRI and relaxation measurements were carried out on a classical 2-pool creatine-gel CEST phantom and normal rat brains (N = 6) and a rat model of glioma (N = 8) at 4.7T. The proposed DISC-CEST quantification was carried out and compared with conventional MTRasym and the original three-offset method.ResultsWe demonstrated that the DISC-CEST contrast in the phantom had much stronger correlation with MTRasym than the three-offset method, which showed substantial underestimation. In normal rat brains, the DISC-CEST approach revealed significantly stronger APT effect in gray matter and higher NOE effect in white matter. Furthermore, the APT and NOE maps derived from DISC-CEST showed significantly higher APT effect in the tumors than contralateral normal tissue but no apparent difference in NOE.ConclusionThe proposed DISC-CEST method, by correction of nonlinear direct water saturation effect, serves as a promising alternative to both the commonly used MTRasym and the simplistic three-offset analyses. It provides simple yet reliable in vivo CEST quantification such as APT and NOE mapping in brain tumor, which is promising for clinical translation.
