Accurate measurement of (3)J(HNH?) couplings in small or disordered proteins from WATERGATE-optimized TROSY spectra.

ABSTRACT: Provided that care is taken in adjusting the WATERGATE element of a (1)H-(15)N TROSY-HSQC experiment, such that neither the water magnetization nor the (1)H(?) protons are inverted by its final 180° pulse, (3)JHNH? couplings can be measured directly from splittings in the (1)H dimension of the spectrum. With band-selective (1)H decoupling, very high (15)N resolution can be achieved. A complete set of (3)JHNH? values, ranging from 3.4 to 10.1 Hz was measured for the 56-residue third domain of IgG-binding protein G (GB3). Using the H-N-C(?)-H(?) dihedral angles extracted from a RDC-refined structure of GB3, (3)JHNH? values predicted by a previously parameterized Karplus equation agree to within a root-mean-square deviation (rmsd) of 0.37 Hz with the experimental data. Values measured for the Alzheimer's implicated A?(1-40) peptide fit to within an rmsd of 0.45 Hz to random coil (3)JHNH? values.

ARTSY-J: Convenient and precise measurement of (3)JHNH? couplings in medium-size proteins from TROSY-HSQC spectra.

Project description:A new and convenient method, named ARTSY-J, is introduced that permits extraction of the (3)JHNH? couplings in proteins from the relative intensities in a pair of (15)N-(1)H TROSY-HSQC spectra. The pulse scheme includes (3)JHNH? dephasing of the narrower TROSY (1)H(N)-{(15)N} doublet component during a delay, integrated into the regular two-dimensional TROSY-HSQC pulse scheme, and compares the obtained intensity with a reference spectrum where (3)JHNH? dephasing is suppressed. The effect of passive (1)H(?) spin flips downscales the apparent (3)JHNH? coupling by a uniform factor that depends approximately linearly on both the duration of the (3)JHNH? dephasing delay and the (1)H-(1)H cross relaxation rate. Using such a correction factor, which accounts for the effects of both inhomogeneity of the radiofrequency field and (1)H(?) spin flips, agreement between prior and newly measured values for the small model protein GB3 is better than 0.3Hz. Measurement for the HIV-1 protease homodimer (22kDa) yields (3)JHNH? values that agree to better than 0.7Hz with predictions made on the basis of a previously parameterized Karplus equation. Although for Gly residues the two individual (3)JHNH? couplings cannot be extracted from a single set of ARTSY-J spectra, the measurement provides valuable ? angle information.

Measurement of one and two bond N-C couplings in large proteins by TROSY-based J-modulation experiments.

Project description:Residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) between NC' and NC(alpha) atoms in polypeptide backbones of proteins contain information on the orientation of bond vectors that is complementary to that contained in NH RDCs. The (1)J(NC)(alpha) and (2)J(NC)(alpha) scalar couplings between these atoms also display a Karplus relation with the backbone torsion angles and report on secondary structure. However, these N-C couplings tend to be small and they are frequently unresolvable in frequency domain spectra having the broad lines characteristic of large proteins. Here a TROSY-based J-modulated approach for the measurement of small (15)N-(13)C couplings in large proteins is described. The cross-correlation interference effects inherent in TROSY methods improve resolution and signal to noise ratios for large proteins, and the use of J-modulation to encode couplings eliminates the need to remove frequency distortions from overlapping peaks during data analysis. The utility of the method is demonstrated by measurement of (1)J(NC'), (1)J(NC)(alpha) , and (2)J(NC)(alpha) scalar couplings and (1)D(NC') and D(NC)(alpha) residual dipolar couplings for the myristoylated yeast ARF1.GTPgammas protein bound to small lipid bicelles, a system with an effective molecule weight of approximately 70kDa.

Measurement of ¹?N relaxation rates in perdeuterated proteins by TROSY-based methods.

Project description:While extracting dynamics parameters from backbone (15)N relaxation measurements in proteins has become routine over the past two decades, it is increasingly recognized that accurate quantitative analysis can remain limited by the potential presence of systematic errors associated with the measurement of (15)N R(1) and R(2) or R(1?) relaxation rates as well as heteronuclear (15)N-{(1)H} NOE values. We show that systematic errors in such measurements can be far larger than the statistical error derived from either the observed signal-to-noise ratio, or from the reproducibility of the measurement. Unless special precautions are taken, the problem of systematic errors is shown to be particularly acute in perdeuterated systems, and even more so when TROSY instead of HSQC elements are used to read out the (15)N magnetization through the NMR-sensitive (1)H nucleus. A discussion of the most common sources of systematic errors is presented, as well as TROSY-based pulse schemes that appear free of systematic errors to the level of <1 %. Application to the small perdeuterated protein GB3, which yields exceptionally high S/N and therefore is an ideal test molecule for detection of systematic errors, yields relaxation rates that show considerably less residue by residue variation than previous measurements. Measured R(2)'/R(1)' ratios fit an axially symmetric diffusion tensor with a Pearson's correlation coefficient of 0.97, comparable to fits obtained for backbone amide RDCs to the Saupe matrix.

Measurement of (1)H-(15)N and (1)H-(13)C residual dipolar couplings in nucleic acids from TROSY intensities.

Project description:Analogous to the recently introduced ARTSY method for measurement of one-bond (1)H-(15)N residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) in large perdeuterated proteins, we introduce methods for measurement of base (13)C-(1)H and (15)N-(1)H RDCs in protonated nucleic acids. Measurements are based on quantitative analysis of intensities in (1)H-(15)N and (13)C-(1)H TROSY-HSQC spectra, and are illustrated for a 71-nucleotide adenine riboswitch. Results compare favorably with those of conventional frequency-based measurements in terms of completeness and convenience of use. The ARTSY method derives the size of the coupling from the ratio of intensities observed in two TROSY-HSQC spectra recorded with different dephasing delays, thereby minimizing potential resonance overlap problems. Precision of the RDC measurements is limited by the signal-to-noise ratio, S/N, achievable in the 2D TROSY-HSQC reference spectrum, and is approximately given by 30/(S/N) Hz for (15)N-(1)H and 65/(S/N) Hz for (13)C-(1)H. The signal-to-noise ratio of both (1)H-(15)N and (1)H-(13)C spectra greatly benefits when water magnetization during the experiments is not perturbed, such that rapid magnetization transfer from bulk water to the nucleic acid, mediated by rapid amino and hydroxyl hydrogen exchange coupled with (1)H-(1)H NOE transfer, allows for fast repetition of the experiment. RDCs in the mutated helix 1 of the riboswitch are compatible with nucleotide-specifically modeled, idealized A-form geometry and a static orientation relative to the helix 2/3 pair, which differs by ca 6° relative to the X-ray structure of the native riboswitch.

Accurate Measurement of Residual Dipolar Couplings in Large RNAs by Variable Flip Angle NMR.

Project description:NMR approaches using nucleotide-specific deuterium labeling schemes have enabled structural studies of biologically relevant RNAs of increasing size and complexity. Although local structure is well-determined using these methods, definition of global structural features, including relative orientations of independent helices, remains a challenge. Residual dipolar couplings, a potential source of orientation information, have not been obtainable for large RNAs due to poor sensitivity resulting from rapid heteronuclear signal decay. Here we report a novel multiple quantum NMR method for RDC determination that employs flip angle variation rather than a coupling evolution period. The accuracy of the method and its utility for establishing interhelical orientations are demonstrated for a 36-nucleotide RNA, for which comparative data could be obtained. Applied to a 78 kDa Rev response element from the HIV-1 virus, which has an effective rotational correlation time of ca. 160 ns, the method yields sensitivity gains of an order of magnitude or greater over existing approaches. Solution-state access to structural organization in RNAs of at least 230 nucleotides is now possible.

Maximum Entropy Optimized Force Field for Intrinsically Disordered Proteins.

Project description:Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) constitute a significant fraction of eukaryotic proteomes. High-resolution characterization of IDP conformational ensembles can help elucidate their roles in a wide range of biological processes but remains challenging both experimentally and computationally. Here, we present a generic algorithm to improve the accuracy of coarse-grained IDP models using a diverse set of experimental measurements. It combines maximum entropy optimization and least-squares regression to systematically adjust model parameters and improve the agreement between simulation and experiment. We successfully applied the algorithm to derive a transferable force field, which we term the maximum entropy optimized force field (MOFF), for de novo prediction of IDP structures. Statistical analysis of force field parameters reveals features of amino acid interactions not captured by potentials designed to work well for folded proteins. We anticipate its combination of efficiency and accuracy will make MOFF useful for studying the phase separation of IDPs, which drives the formation of various biological compartments.

Co-Evolution of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins with Folded Partners Witnessed by Evolutionary Couplings.

Project description:Although improved strategies for the detection and analysis of evolutionary couplings (ECs) between protein residues already enable the prediction of protein structures and interactions, they are mostly restricted to conserved and well-folded proteins. Whereas intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are central to cellular interaction networks, due to the lack of strict structural constraints, they undergo faster evolutionary changes than folded domains. This makes the reliable identification and alignment of IDP homologs difficult, which led to IDPs being omitted in most large-scale residue co-variation analyses. By preforming a dedicated analysis of phylogenetically widespread bacterial IDP?partner interactions, here we demonstrate that partner binding imposes constraints on IDP sequences that manifest in detectable interprotein ECs. These ECs were not detected for interactions mediated by short motifs, rather for those with larger IDP?partner interfaces. Most identified coupled residue pairs reside close (<10 Å) to each other on the interface, with a third of them forming multiple direct atomic contacts. EC-carrying interfaces of IDPs are enriched in negatively charged residues, and the EC residues of both IDPs and partners preferentially reside in helices. Our analysis brings hope that IDP?partner interactions difficult to study could soon be successfully dissected through residue co-variation analysis.

Facile measurement of ¹H-¹5N residual dipolar couplings in larger perdeuterated proteins.

Project description:We present a simple method, ARTSY, for extracting ¹J(NH) couplings and ¹H-¹?N RDCs from an interleaved set of two-dimensional ¹H-¹?N TROSY-HSQC spectra, based on the principle of quantitative J correlation. The primary advantage of the ARTSY method over other methods is the ability to measure couplings without scaling peak positions or altering the narrow line widths characteristic of TROSY spectra. Accuracy of the method is demonstrated for the model system GB3. Application to the catalytic core domain of HIV integrase, a 36 kDa homodimer with unfavorable spectral characteristics, demonstrates its practical utility. Precision of the RDC measurement is limited by the signal-to-noise ratio, S/N, achievable in the 2D TROSY-HSQC spectrum, and is approximately given by 30/(S/N) Hz.

Measurement and interpretation of 15N-1H residual dipolar couplings in larger proteins.

Project description:A decade ago, Dr. L.E. Kay and co-workers described an ingenious HNCO-based triple-resonance experiment from which several protein backbone RDCs can be measured simultaneously (Yang et al. (1999) [1]). They implemented a J-scaling technique in the (15)N dimension of the 3D experiment to obtain the NH RDCs. We have used this idea to carry out J-scaling in a 2D (15)N-(1)H-TROSY experiment and have found it to be an excellent method to obtain NH RDCs for larger proteins upto 70 kDa, far superior to commonly used HSQC in-phase/anti-phase and HSQC/TROSY comparisons. Here, this method, dubbed "RDC-TROSY" is discussed in detail and the limits of its utility are assessed by simulations. Prominent in the latter analysis is the evaluation of the effect of amide proton flips on the "RDC-TROSY" linewidths. The details of the technical and computational implementations of these methods for the determination of domain orientations in 45-60 kDa Hsp70 chaperone protein constructs are described.

TROSY pulse sequence for simultaneous measurement of the 15N R1 and {1H}-15N NOE in deuterated proteins.

Project description:A TROSY-based NMR experiment is described for simultaneous measurement of the 15N longitudinal relaxation rate constant R1 and the {1H}-15N nuclear Overhauser enhancement. The experiment is based on the observation that the TROSY mixing pulse sequence element symmetrically exchanges 1H and 15N magnetizations. The accuracy of the proposed technique is validated by comparison to independent measurements of both relaxation parameters for the protein ubiquitin. The simultaneous experiment is approximately 20-33% shorter than conventional sequential measurements.
