Rapid access to RNA resonances by proton-detected solid-state NMR at >100 kHz MAS.

ABSTRACT: Fast (>100 kHz) magic angle spinning solid-state NMR allows combining high-sensitive proton detection with the absence of an intrinsic molecular weight limit. Using this technique we observe for the first time narrow 1H RNA resonances and assign nucleotide spin systems with only 200 ?g of uniformly 13C,15N-labelled RNA.

Identification of RNA Base Pairs and Complete Assignment of Nucleobase Resonances by Proton-Detected Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy at 100 kHz MAS.

Project description:Knowledge of RNA structure, either in isolation or in complex, is fundamental to understand the mechanism of cellular processes. Solid-state NMR (ssNMR) is applicable to high molecular-weight complexes and does not require crystallization; thus, it is well-suited to study RNA as part of large multicomponent assemblies. Recently, we solved the first structures of both RNA and an RNA-protein complex by ssNMR using conventional 13 C- and 15 N-detection. This approach is limited by the severe overlap of the RNA peaks together with the low sensitivity of multidimensional experiments. Here, we overcome the limitations in sensitivity and resolution by using 1 H-detection at fast MAS rates. We develop experiments that allow the identification of complete nucleobase spin-systems together with their site-specific base pair pattern using sub-milligram quantities of one uniformly labelled RNA sample. These experiments provide rapid access to RNA secondary structure by ssNMR in protein-RNA complexes of any size.

100 kHz MAS Proton-Detected NMR Spectroscopy of Hepatitis B Virus Capsids.

Project description:We sequentially assigned the fully-protonated capsids made from core proteins of the Hepatitis B virus using proton detection at 100 kHz magic-angle spinning (MAS) in 0.7 mm rotors and compare sensitivity and assignment completeness to previously obtained assignments using carbon-detection techniques in 3.2 mm rotors and 17.5 kHz MAS. We show that proton detection shows a global gain of a factor ~50 in mass sensitivity, but that signal-to-noise ratios and completeness of the assignment was somewhat higher for carbon-detected experiments for comparable experimental times. We also show that deuteration and HN back protonation improves the proton linewidth at 100 kHz MAS by a factor of 1.5, from an average of 170-110 Hz, and by a factor of 1.3 compared to deuterated capsids at 60 kHz MAS in a 1.3 mm rotor. Yet, several HN protons cannot be back-exchanged due to solvent inaccessibility, which results in a total of 15% of the amides missing in the spectra.

Studying intact bacterial peptidoglycan by proton-detected NMR spectroscopy at 100?kHz MAS frequency.

Project description:The bacterial cell wall is composed of the peptidoglycan (PG), a large polymer that maintains the integrity of the bacterial cell. Due to its multi-gigadalton size, heterogeneity, and dynamics, atomic-resolution studies are inherently complex. Solid-state NMR is an important technique to gain insight into its structure, dynamics and interactions. Here, we explore the possibilities to study the PG with ultra-fast (100?kHz) magic-angle spinning NMR. We demonstrate that highly resolved spectra can be obtained, and show strategies to obtain site-specific resonance assignments and distance information. We also explore the use of proton-proton correlation experiments, thus opening the way for NMR studies of intact cell walls without the need for isotope labeling.

Proton Detected Solid-State NMR of Membrane Proteins at 28 Tesla (1.2 GHz) and 100 kHz Magic-Angle Spinning.

Project description:The available magnetic field strength for high resolution NMR in persistent superconducting magnets has recently improved from 23.5 to 28 Tesla, increasing the proton resonance frequency from 1 to 1.2 GHz. For magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR, this is expected to improve resolution, provided the sample preparation results in homogeneous broadening. We compare two-dimensional (2D) proton detected MAS NMR spectra of four membrane proteins at 950 and 1200 MHz. We find a consistent improvement in resolution that scales superlinearly with the increase in magnetic field for three of the four examples. In 3D and 4D spectra, which are now routinely acquired, this improvement indicates the ability to resolve at least 2 and 2.5 times as many signals, respectively.

Limits of Resolution and Sensitivity of Proton Detected MAS Solid-State NMR Experiments at 111 kHz in Deuterated and Protonated Proteins.

Project description:MAS solid-state NMR is capable of determining structures of protonated solid proteins using proton-detected experiments. These experiments are performed at MAS rotation frequency of around 110?kHz, employing 0.5?mg of material. Here, we compare 1H, 13C correlation spectra obtained from protonated and deuterated microcrystalline proteins at MAS rotation frequency of 111?kHz, and show that the spectral quality obtained from deuterated samples is superior to those acquired using protonated samples in terms of resolution and sensitivity. In comparison to protonated samples, spectra obtained from deuterated samples yield a gain in resolution on the order of 3 and 2 in the proton and carbon dimensions, respectively. Additionally, the spectrum from the deuterated sample yields approximately 2-3 times more sensitivity compared to the spectrum of a protonated sample. This gain could be further increased by a factor of 2 by making use of stereospecific precursors for biosynthesis. Although the overall resolution and sensitivity of 1H, 13C correlation spectra obtained using protonated solid samples with rotation frequencies on the order of 110?kHz is high, the spectral quality is still poor when compared to the deuterated samples. We believe that experiments involving large protein complexes in which sensitivity is limiting will benefit from the application of deuteration schemes.

Interaction of Monomeric Interleukin-8 with CXCR1 Mapped by Proton-Detected Fast MAS Solid-State NMR.

Project description:The human chemokine interleukin-8 (IL-8; CXCL8) is a key mediator of innate immune and inflammatory responses. This small, soluble protein triggers a host of biological effects upon binding and activating CXCR1, a G protein-coupled receptor, located in the cell membrane of neutrophils. Here, we describe 1H-detected magic angle spinning solid-state NMR studies of monomeric IL-8 (1-66) bound to full-length and truncated constructs of CXCR1 in phospholipid bilayers under physiological conditions. Cross-polarization experiments demonstrate that most backbone amide sites of IL-8 (1-66) are immobilized and that their chemical shifts are perturbed upon binding to CXCR1, demonstrating that the dynamics and environments of chemokine residues are affected by interactions with the chemokine receptor. Comparisons of spectra of IL-8 (1-66) bound to full-length CXCR1 (1-350) and to N-terminal truncated construct NT-CXCR1 (39-350) identify specific chemokine residues involved in interactions with binding sites associated with N-terminal residues (binding site-I) and extracellular loop and helical residues (binding site-II) of the receptor. Intermolecular paramagnetic relaxation enhancement broadening of IL-8 (1-66) signals results from interactions of the chemokine with CXCR1 (1-350) containing Mn2+ chelated to an unnatural amino acid assists in the characterization of the receptor-bound form of the chemokine.

PHRONESIS: A One-Shot Approach for Sequential Assignment of Protein Resonances by Ultrafast MAS Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy.

Project description:Solid-state NMR (ssNMR) spectroscopy has emerged as the method of choice to analyze the structural dynamics of fibrillar, membrane-bound, and crystalline proteins that are recalcitrant to other structural techniques. Recently, 1 H detection under fast magic angle spinning and multiple acquisition ssNMR techniques have propelled the structural analysis of complex biomacromolecules. However, data acquisition and resonance-specific assignments remain a bottleneck for this technique. Here, we present a comprehensive multi-acquisition experiment (PHRONESIS) that simultaneously generates up to ten 3D 1 H-detected ssNMR spectra. PHRONESIS utilizes broadband transfer and selective pulses to drive multiple independent polarization pathways. High selectivity excitation and de-excitation of specific resonances were achieved by high-fidelity selective pulses that were designed using a combination of an evolutionary algorithm and artificial intelligence. We demonstrated the power of this approach with microcrystalline U-13 C,15 N GB1 protein, reaching 100 % of the resonance assignments using one data set of ten 3D experiments. The strategy outlined in this work opens up new avenues for implementing novel 1 H-detected multi-acquisition ssNMR experiments to speed up and expand the application to larger biomolecular systems.

Bacteriophage Tail-Tube Assembly Studied by Proton-Detected 4D Solid-State NMR.

Project description:Obtaining unambiguous resonance assignments remains a major bottleneck in solid-state NMR studies of protein structure and dynamics. Particularly for supramolecular assemblies with large subunits (>150 residues), the analysis of crowded spectral data presents a challenge, even if three-dimensional (3D) spectra are used. Here, we present a proton-detected 4D solid-state NMR assignment procedure that is tailored for large assemblies. The key to recording 4D spectra with three indirect carbon or nitrogen dimensions with their inherently large chemical shift dispersion lies in the use of sparse non-uniform sampling (as low as 2 %). As a proof of principle, we acquired 4D (H)COCANH, (H)CACONH, and (H)CBCANH spectra of the 20 kDa bacteriophage tail-tube protein gp17.1 in a total time of two and a half weeks. These spectra were sufficient to obtain complete resonance assignments in a straightforward manner without use of previous solution NMR data.

Accessing Methyl Groups in Proteins via 1H-detected MAS Solid-state NMR Spectroscopy Employing Random Protonation.

Project description:We recently introduced RAP (reduced adjoining protonation) labelling as an easy to implement and cost-effective strategy to yield selectively methyl protonated protein samples. We show here that even though the amount of H2O employed in the bacterial growth medium is rather low, the intensities obtained in MAS solid-state NMR 1H,13C correlation spectra are comparable to spectra obtained for samples in which ?-ketoisovalerate was employed as precursor. In addition to correlations for Leu and Val residues, RAP labelled samples yield also resonances for all methyl containing side chains. The labelling scheme has been employed to quantify order parameters, together with the respective asymmetry parameters. We obtain a very good correlation between the order parameters measured using a GlcRAP (glucose carbon source) and a ?-ketoisovalerate labelled sample. The labelling scheme holds the potential to be very useful for the collection of long-range distance restraints among side chain atoms. Experiments are demonstrated using RAP and ?-ketoisovalerate labelled samples of the ?-spectrin SH3 domain, and are applied to fibrils formed from the Alzheimer's disease A?1-40 peptide.

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.
