Backbone assignments and conformational dynamics in the S. typhimurium tryptophan synthase α-subunit from solution-state NMR.

ABSTRACT: Backbone assignments for the isolated α-subunit of Salmonella typhimurium tryptophan synthase (TS) are reported based on triple resonance solution-state NMR experiments on a uniformly ²H,¹³C,¹⁵N-labeled sample. From the backbone chemical shifts, secondary structure and random coil index order parameters (RCI-S²) are predicted. Titration with the 3-indole-D-glycerol 3'-phosphate analog, N-(4'-trifluoromethoxybenzenesulfonyl)-2-aminoethyl phosphate (F9), leads to chemical shift perturbations indicative of conformational changes from which an estimate of the dissociation constant is obtained. Comparisons of the backbone chemical-shifts, RCI-S² values, and site-specific relaxation times with and without F9 reveal allosteric changes including modulation in secondary structures and loop rigidity induced upon ligand binding. A comparison is made to the X-ray crystal structure of the α-subunit in the full TS αββα bi-enzyme complex and to two new X-ray crystal structures of the isolated TS α-subunit reported in this work.

Solution-State (17)O?Quadrupole Central-Transition NMR Spectroscopy in the Active Site of Tryptophan Synthase.

Project description:Oxygen is an essential participant in the acid-base chemistry that takes place within many enzyme active sites, yet has remained virtually silent as a probe in NMR spectroscopy. Here, we demonstrate the first use of solution-state (17)O?quadrupole central-transition NMR spectroscopy to characterize enzymatic intermediates under conditions of active catalysis. In the 143?kDa pyridoxal-5'-phosphate-dependent enzyme tryptophan synthase, reactions of the ?-aminoacrylate intermediate with the nucleophiles indoline and 2-aminophenol correlate with an upfield shift of the substrate carboxylate oxygen resonances. First principles calculations suggest that the increased shieldings for these quinonoid intermediates result from the net increase in the charge density of the substrate-cofactor ?-bonding network, particularly at the adjacent ?-carbon site.

NMR backbone resonance assignments of the prodomain variants of BDNF in the urea denatured state.

Project description:Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a member of the neurotrophin family of proteins which plays a central role in neuronal survival, growth, plasticity and memory. A single Val66Met variant has been identified in the prodomain of human BDNF that is associated with anxiety, depression and memory disorders. The structural differences within the full-length prodomain Val66 and Met66 isoforms could shed light on the mechanism of action of the Met66 and its impact on the development of neuropsychiatric-associated disorders. In the present study, we report the backbone 1H, 13C, and 15N NMR assignments of both full-length Val66 and Met66 prodomains in the presence of 2 M urea. These conditions were utilized to suppress residual structure and aid subsequent native state structural investigations aimed at mapping and identifying variant-dependent conformational differences under native-state conditions.

Catalytic roles of ?Lys87 in tryptophan synthase: (15)N solid state NMR studies.

Project description:The proposed mechanism for tryptophan synthase shows ?Lys87 playing multiple catalytic roles: it bonds to the PLP cofactor, activates C4' for nucleophilic attack via a protonated Schiff base nitrogen, and abstracts and returns protons to PLP-bound substrates (i.e. acid-base catalysis). ?-¹?N-lysine TS was prepared to access the protonation state of ?Lys87 using ¹?N solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) spectroscopy for three quasi-stable intermediates along the reaction pathway. These experiments establish that the protonation state of the ?-amino group switches between protonated and neutral states as the ?-site undergoes conversion from one intermediate to the next during catalysis, corresponding to mechanistic steps where this lysine residue has been anticipated to play alternating acid and base catalytic roles that help steer reaction specificity in tryptophan synthase catalysis. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Cofactor-dependent proteins: evolution, chemical diversity and bio-applications. Guest Editors: Andrea Mozzarelli and Loredano Pollegioni.

Backbone-independent NMR resonance assignments of methyl probes in large proteins.

Project description:Methyl-specific isotope labeling is a powerful tool to study the structure, dynamics and interactions of large proteins and protein complexes by solution-state NMR. However, widespread applications of this methodology have been limited by challenges in obtaining confident resonance assignments. Here, we present Methyl Assignments Using Satisfiability (MAUS), leveraging Nuclear Overhauser Effect cross-peak data, peak residue type classification and a known 3D structure or structural model to provide robust resonance assignments consistent with all the experimental inputs. Using data recorded for targets with known assignments in the 10-45?kDa size range, MAUS outperforms existing methods by up to 25,000 times in speed while maintaining 100% accuracy. We derive de novo assignments for multiple Cas9 nuclease domains, demonstrating that the methyl resonances of multi-domain proteins can be assigned accurately in a matter of days, while reducing biases introduced by manual pre-processing of the raw NOE data. MAUS is available through an online web-server.

Enhanced biosynthetically directed fractional carbon-13 enrichment of proteins for backbone NMR assignments.

Project description:Routes to carbon-13 enrichment of bacterially expressed proteins include achieving uniform or positionally selective (e.g. ILV-Me, or (13)C', etc.) enrichment. We consider the potential for biosynthetically directed fractional enrichment (e.g. carbon-13 incorporation in the protein less than 100%) for performing routine n-(D)dimensional NMR spectroscopy of proteins. First, we demonstrate an approach to fractional isotope addition where the initial growth media containing natural abundance glucose is replenished at induction with a small amount (e.g. 10%(w/w)u-(13)C-glucose) of enriched nutrient. The approach considered here is to add 10% (e.g. 200mg for a 2g/L culture) u-(13)C-glucose at the induction time (OD600=0.8), resulting in a protein with enhanced (13)C incorporation that gives almost the same NMR signal levels as an exact 20% (13)C sample. Second, whereas fractional enrichment is used for obtaining stereospecific methyl assignments, we find that (13)C incorporation levels no greater than 20%(w/w) yield (13)C and (13)C-(13)C spin pair incorporation sufficient to conduct typical 3D-bioNMR backbone experiments on moderate instrumentation (600 MHz, RT probe). Typical 3D-bioNMR experiments of a fractionally enriched protein yield expected backbone connectivities, and did not show amino acid biases in this work, with one exception. When adding 10% u-(13)C glucose to expression media at induction, there is poor preservation of (13)C?-(13)C? spin pairs in the amino acids ILV, leading to the absence of C? signals in HNCACB spectra for ILV, a potentially useful editing effect. Enhanced fractional carbon-13 enrichment provides lower-cost routes to high throughput protein NMR studies, and makes modern protein NMR more cost-accessible.

Backbone Assignment of the MALT1 Paracaspase by Solution NMR.

Project description:Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (MALT1) is a unique paracaspase protein whose protease activity mediates oncogenic NF-?B signalling in activated B cell-like diffuse large B cell lymphomas (ABC-DLBCLs). ABC-DLBCLs are aggressive lymphomas with high resistance to current chemotherapies. Low survival rate among patients emphasizes the urgent need for alternative treatment options. The characterization of the MALT1 will be an essential tool for developing new target-directed drugs against MALT1 dependent disorders. As the first step in the atomic-level NMR studies of the system, here we report, the (15)N/(13)C/(1)H backbone assignment of the apo form of the MALT1 paracaspase region together with the third immunoglobulin-like (Ig3) domain, 44 kDa, by high resolution NMR. In addition, the non-uniform sampling (NUS) based targeted acquisition procedure is evaluated as a mean of decreasing acquisition and analysis time for larger proteins.

NMR resonance assignments of human Atg3 in aqueous solution and bicelles.

Project description:Human Atg3 (hAtg3) is an E2-like enzyme that catalyzes the conjugation of LC3 family proteins to phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) lipids in the autophagosomal membrane during autophagy. The reaction product, LC3-PE, acts as a marker for autophagic cargo and is required for the effective construction of functional autophagosomes. However, the structural and molecular basis of this conjugation reaction remains elusive, at least in part, because of the absence of lipid bilayers in structural studies conducted to date. Here, we report a sequential resonance assignment for an hAtg3 construct both in aqueous solution and in bicelles. hAtg3 has 314 residues, and our construct lacks the unstructured region from residues 90 to 190. Our results demonstrate a structural rearrangement of hAtg3 N-terminus when it interacts with membranes.

Synthesis of ?-Branched Tryptophan Analogues Using an Engineered Subunit of Tryptophan Synthase.

Project description:We report that l-threonine may substitute for l-serine in the ?-substitution reaction of an engineered subunit of tryptophan synthase from Pyrococcus furiosus, yielding (2S,3S)-?-methyltryptophan (?-MeTrp) in a single step. The trace activity of the wild-type ?-subunit on this substrate was enhanced more than 1000-fold by directed evolution. Structural and spectroscopic data indicate that this increase is correlated with stabilization of the electrophilic aminoacrylate intermediate. The engineered biocatalyst also reacts with a variety of indole analogues and thiophenol for diastereoselective C-C, C-N, and C-S bond-forming reactions. This new activity circumvents the 3-enzyme pathway that produces ?-MeTrp in nature and offers a simple and expandable route to preparing derivatives of this valuable building block.

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.

Backbone NMR assignments of HypF-N under conditions generating toxic and non-toxic oligomers.

Project description:The HypF protein is involved in the maturation and regulation of hydrogenases. The N-terminal domain of HypF (HypF-N) has served as a key model system to study the pathways of protein amyloid formation and the nature of the toxicity of pre-fibrilar protein oligomers. This domain can aggregate into two forms of oligomers having significantly different toxic effects when added to neuronal cultures. Here, NMR assignments of HypF-N backbone resonances are presented in its native state and under the conditions favouring the formation of toxic and non-toxic oligomers. The analyses of chemical shifts provide insights into the protein conformational state and the possible pathways leading to the formation of different types of oligomers.
