An Efficient Labelling Approach to Harness Backbone and Side-Chain Protons in (1) H-Detected Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT: (1) H-detection can greatly improve spectral sensitivity in biological solid-state NMR (ssNMR), thus allowing the study of larger and more complex proteins. However, the general requirement to perdeuterate proteins critically curtails the potential of (1) H-detection by the loss of aliphatic side-chain protons, which are important probes for protein structure and function. Introduced herein is a labelling scheme for (1) H-detected ssNMR, and it gives high quality spectra for both side-chain and backbone protons, and allows quantitative assignments and aids in probing interresidual contacts. Excellent (1) H resolution in membrane proteins is obtained, the topology and dynamics of an ion channel were studied. This labelling scheme will open new avenues for the study of challenging proteins by ssNMR.

Sensitive proton-detected solid-state NMR spectroscopy of large proteins with selective CH3 labelling: application to the 50S ribosome subunit.

Project description:Solid-state NMR spectroscopy allows the characterization of the structure, interactions and dynamics of insoluble and/or very large proteins. Sensitivity and resolution are often major challenges for obtaining atomic-resolution information, in particular for very large protein complexes. Here we show that the use of deuterated, specifically CH3-labelled proteins result in significant sensitivity gains compared to previously employed CHD2 labelling, while line widths increase only marginally. We apply this labelling strategy to a 468 kDa-large dodecameric aminopeptidase, TET2, and the 1.6 MDa-large 50S ribosome subunit of Thermus thermophilus.

Colorectal Cancer Detected by 1H-NMR Spectroscopy

Project description:The hypothesis of the present study is that metabolic phenotyping of blood plasma allows to (i) discriminate between colorectal cancer patients and control subjects and (ii) identify new biomarkers for colorectal cancer. In order to test this hypothesis, the investigators will apply proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy to perform metabolic phenotyping of blood plasma in 50 colorectal cancer patients and 50 control subjects. Multivariate statistics will be performed to assess the discriminative power of the applied methodology in distinguishing between both groups and to identify metabolites with potential as biomarkers for colorectal cancer.

Investigation of a side-chain-side-chain hydrogen bond by mutagenesis, thermodynamics, and NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:Anomalous NMR behavior of the hydroxyl proton resonance for Ser 31 has been reported for histidine-containing protein (HPr) from two microorganisms: Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The unusual slow exchange and chemical shift exhibited by the resonance led to the proposal that the hydroxyl group is involved in a strong hydrogen bond. To test this hypothesis and to characterize the importance of such an interaction, a mutant in which Ser 31 is replaced by an alanine was generated in HPr from Escherichia coli. The activity, stability, and structure of the mutant HPr were assessed using a reconstituted assay system, analysis of solvent denaturation curves, and NMR, respectively. Substitution of Ser 31 yields a fully functional protein that is only slightly less stable (delta delta G(folding) = 0.46 +/- 0.15 kcal mol-1) than the wild type. The NMR results confirm the identity of the hydrogen bond acceptor as Asp 69 and reveal that it exists as the gauche- conformer in wild-type HPr in solution but exhibits conformational averaging in the mutant protein. The side chain of Asp 69 interacts with two main-chain amide proteins in addition to its interaction with the side chain of Ser 31 in the wild-type protein. These results indicate that removal of the serine has led to the loss of all three hydrogen bond interactions involving Asp 69, suggesting a cooperative network of interactions. A complete analysis of the thermodynamics was performed in which differences in side-chain hydrophobicity and conformational entropy between the two proteins are accounted for.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Backbone and side-chain NMR assignments for the C-terminal domain of mammalian Vps28.

Project description:Vps28 is one of four cytosolic proteins comprising the endosomal sorting complex required for transport I (ESCRT-I). ESCRT-I is involved in sorting ubiquitinated proteins to multivesicular bodies as well as in mediating budding of retroviruses. Here, we report the backbone and side-chain assignments of the mammalian C-terminal domain of Vps28 (mVps28(CTD)), which is involved in interactions with other ESCRT components. We also compare the predicted secondary structures of mVps28(CTD) with those of the published X-ray crystal structures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Xenopus laevis Vps28(CTD). These NMR resonance assignments will facilitate chemical shift mapping and structural determination of mammalian Vps28 interactions with other components of the endosomal sorting machinery that sorts ubiquitinated proteins for lysosomal degradation.

UV resonance Raman spectroscopy monitors polyglutamine backbone and side chain hydrogen bonding and fibrillization.

Project description:We utilize 198 and 204 nm excited UV resonance Raman spectroscopy (UVRR) and circular dichroism spectroscopy (CD) to monitor the backbone conformation and the Gln side chain hydrogen bonding (HB) of a short, mainly polyGln peptide with a D(2)Q(10)K(2) sequence (Q10). We measured the UVRR spectra of valeramide to determine the dependence of the primary amide vibrations on amide HB. We observe that a nondisaggregated Q10 (NDQ10) solution (prepared by directly dissolving the original synthesized peptide in pure water) exists in a β-sheet conformation, where the Gln side chains form hydrogen bonds to either the backbone or other Gln side chains. At 60 °C, these solutions readily form amyloid fibrils. We used the polyGln disaggregation protocol of Wetzel et al. [Wetzel, R., et al. (2006) Methods Enzymol.413, 34-74] to dissolve the Q10 β-sheet aggregates. We observe that the disaggregated Q10 (DQ10) solutions adopt PPII-like and 2.5(1)-helix conformations where the Gln side chains form hydrogen bonds with water. In contrast, these samples do not form fibrils. The NDQ10 β-sheet solution structure is essentially identical to that found in the NDQ10 solid formed upon evaporation of the solution. The DQ10 PPII and 2.5(1)-helix solution structure is essentially identical to that in the DQ10 solid. Although the NDQ10 solution readily forms fibrils when heated, the DQ10 solution does not form fibrils unless seeded with the NDQ10 solution. This result demonstrates very high activation barriers between these solution conformations. The NDQ10 fibril secondary structure is essentially identical to that of the NDQ10 solution, except that the NDQ10 fibril backbone conformational distribution is narrower than in the dissolved species. The NDQ10 fibril Gln side chain geometry is more constrained than when NDQ10 is in solution. The NDQ10 fibril structure is identical to that of the DQ10 fibril seeded by the NDQ10 solution.

Backbone and side-chain heteronuclear resonance assignments and hyperfine NMR shifts in horse cytochrome c.

Project description:The [H26N, H33N] mutant of horse heart cytochrome c was expressed in E. coli during growth on isotopically enriched minimal media. Complete resonance assignments of both the diamagnetic reduced (spin zero) and paramagnetic oxidized (spin (1/2)) states of the protein were obtained using standard triple resonance and total correlation spectroscopy using the previously determined (1)H chemical shifts of the wild-type protein as a guide. The correspondence of chemical shifts between the wild type and the mutant protein is excellent, indicating that they have nearly identical structures. The expanded library of chemical shifts for both redox states in both proteins allowed the refinement of the electron spin g-tensor of the oxidized states. The g-tensors of the oxidized states of the wild-type and [H26N, H33N] mutant proteins are closely similar, indicating that the subtle details of the ligand fields are nearly identical. The refined g-tensors were then used to probe for redox-dependent structure change in the two proteins.

2D IR spectroscopy of histidine: probing side-chain structure and dynamics via backbone amide vibrations.

Project description:It is well known that histidine is involved in many biological functions due to the structural versatility of its side chain. However, probing the conformational transitions of histidine in proteins, especially those occurring on an ultrafast time scale, is difficult. Herein we show, using a histidine dipeptide as a model, that it is possible to probe the tautomer and protonation status of a histidine residue by measuring the two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) spectrum of its amide I vibrational transition. Specifically, for the histidine dipeptide studied, the amide unit of the histidine gives rise to three spectrally resolvable amide I features at approximately 1630, 1644, and 1656 cm(-1), respectively, which, based on measurements at different pH values and frequency calculations, are assigned to a τ tautomer (1630 cm(-1) component) and a π tautomer with a hydrated (1644 cm(-1) component) or dehydrated (1656 cm(-1) component) amide. Because of the intrinsic ultrafast time resolution of 2D IR spectroscopy, we believe that the current approach, when combined with the isotope editing techniques, will be useful in revealing the structural dynamics of key histidine residues in proteins that are important for function.

Proton-detected solid-state NMR spectroscopy of natural-abundance peptide and protein pharmaceuticals.

Project description:The natural way: A sensitive NMR spectroscopic method is developed to obtain well-resolved two-dimensional spectra ((15)N-(1)H and (13)C-(1)H) for natural-abundance (that is, without the need for isotopic enrichment) large-molecule samples, such as biopharmaceuticals. This method gives structural insights on two lyophilized aprotinin samples and three insulin samples in lyophilized, microcrystalline suspension formulation (red; see picture) and fibril (green) forms.

Characterising side chains in large proteins by protonless <sup>13</sup>C-detected NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:Side chains cover protein surfaces and are fundamental to processes as diverse as substrate recognition, protein folding and enzyme catalysis. However, characterisation of side-chain motions has so far been restricted to small proteins and methyl-bearing side chains. Here we present a class of methods, based on 13C-detected NMR spectroscopy, to more generally quantify motions and interactions of side chains in medium-to-large proteins. A single, uniformly isotopically labelled sample is sufficient to characterise the side chains of six different amino acid types. Side-chain conformational dynamics on the millisecond time-scale can be quantified by incorporating chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) into the presented methods, whilst long-range 13C-13C scalar couplings reporting on nanosecond to millisecond motions can be quantified in proteins as large as 80 kDa. The presented class of methods promises characterisation of side-chain behaviour at a level that has so far been reserved for the protein backbone.

Proton-Detected Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy of Bone with Ultrafast Magic Angle Spinning.

Project description:While obtaining high-resolution structural details from bone is highly important to better understand its mechanical strength and the effects of aging and disease on bone ultrastructure, it has been a major challenge to do so with existing biophysical techniques. Though solid-state NMR spectroscopy has the potential to reveal the structural details of bone, it suffers from poor spectral resolution and sensitivity. Nonetheless, recent developments in magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR technology have made it possible to spin solid samples up to 110 kHz frequency. With such remarkable capabilities, (1)H-detected NMR experiments that have traditionally been challenging on rigid solids can now be implemented. Here, we report the first application of multidimensional (1)H-detected NMR measurements on bone under ultrafast MAS conditions to provide atomistic-level elucidation of the complex heterogeneous structure of bone. Our investigations demonstrate that two-dimensional (1)H/(1)H chemical shift correlation spectra for bone are obtainable using fp-RFDR (finite-pulse radio-frequency-driven dipolar recoupling) pulse sequence under ultrafast MAS. Our results infer that water exhibits distinct (1)H-(1)H dipolar coupling networks with the backbone and side-chain regions in collagen. These results show the promising potential of proton-detected ultrafast MAS NMR for monitoring structural and dynamic changes caused by mechanical loading and disease in bone.
