Use of Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy for the Characterization of Molecular Structure and Dynamics in Solid Polymer and Hybrid Electrolytes.

ABSTRACT: Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is an established experimental technique which is used for the characterization of structural and dynamic properties of materials in their native state. Many types of solid-state NMR experiments have been used to characterize both lithium-based and sodium-based solid polymer and polymer-ceramic hybrid electrolyte materials. This review describes several solid-state NMR experiments that are commonly employed in the analysis of these systems: pulse field gradient NMR, electrophoretic NMR, variable temperature T₁ relaxation, T₂ relaxation and linewidth analysis, exchange spectroscopy, cross polarization, Rotational Echo Double Resonance, and isotope enrichment. In this review, each technique is introduced with a short description of the pulse sequence, and examples of experiments that have been performed in real solid-state polymer and/or hybrid electrolyte systems are provided. The results and conclusions of these experiments are discussed to inform readers of the strengths and weaknesses of each technique when applied to polymer and hybrid electrolyte systems. It is anticipated that this review may be used to aid in the selection of solid-state NMR experiments for the analysis of these systems.

RNA structure determination by solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:Knowledge of the RNA three-dimensional structure, either in isolation or as part of RNP complexes, is fundamental to understand the mechanism of numerous cellular processes. Because of its flexibility, RNA represents a challenge for crystallization, while the large size of cellular complexes brings solution-state NMR to its limits. Here, we demonstrate an alternative approach on the basis of solid-state NMR spectroscopy. We develop a suite of experiments and RNA labeling schemes and demonstrate for the first time that ssNMR can yield a RNA structure at high-resolution. This methodology allows structural analysis of segmentally labelled RNA stretches in high-molecular weight cellular machines—independent of their ability to crystallize—and opens the way to mechanistic studies of currently difficult-to-access RNA-protein assemblies.

Solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is an atomic-level method used to determine the chemical structure, three-dimensional structure, and dynamics of solids and semi-solids. This Primer summarizes the basic principles of NMR as applied to the wide range of solid systems. The fundamental nuclear spin interactions and the effects of magnetic fields and radiofrequency pulses on nuclear spins are the same as in liquid-state NMR. However, because of the anisotropy of the interactions in the solid state, the majority of high-resolution solid-state NMR spectra is measured under magic-angle spinning (MAS), which has profound effects on the types of radiofrequency pulse sequences required to extract structural and dynamical information. We describe the most common MAS NMR experiments and data analysis approaches for investigating biological macromolecules, organic materials, and inorganic solids. Continuing development of sensitivity-enhancement approaches, including 1H-detected fast MAS experiments, dynamic nuclear polarization, and experiments tailored to ultrahigh magnetic fields, is described. We highlight recent applications of solid-state NMR to biological and materials chemistry. The Primer ends with a discussion of current limitations of NMR to study solids, and points to future avenues of development to further enhance the capabilities of this sophisticated spectroscopy for new applications.

Intermolecular Interactions and Protein Dynamics by Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy.

Project description:Understanding the dynamics of interacting proteins is a crucial step toward describing many biophysical processes. Here we investigate the backbone dynamics for protein GB1 in two different assemblies: crystalline GB1 and the precipitated GB1-antibody complex with a molecular weight of more than 300?kDa. We perform these measurements on samples containing as little as eight?nanomoles of GB1. From measurements of site-specific (15) N?relaxation rates including relaxation dispersion we obtain snapshots of dynamics spanning nine orders of magnitude in terms of the time scale. A comparison of measurements for GB1 in either environment reveals that while many of the dynamic features of the protein are conserved between them (in particular for the fast picosecond-nanosecond motions), much greater differences occur for slow motions with motions in the >500?ns range being more prevalent in the complex. The data suggest that GB1 can potentially undergo a small-amplitude overall anisotropic motion sampling the interaction interface in the complex.

Bolalipid membrane structure revealed by solid-state 2H NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:Membranes made from three specifically deuterium-labeled ether-linked bolalipids, [1',1',20',20'-2H4]C20BAS-PC, [2',2',19',19'-2H4]C20BAS-PC, or [10',11'-2H2]C20BAS-PC, were analyzed by 2H NMR spectroscopy. Unlike more common monopolar, ester-linked phospholipids, C20BAS-PC exhibits a high degree of orientational order throughout the membrane and the sn-1 chain of the lipid initially penetrates the bilayer at an orientation different from that of the bilayer normal, resulting in inequivalent deuterium atoms at the C1 position. The approximate hydrophobic layer thickness and area per lipid are 18.4 A and 60.4 A2, respectively, at 25 degrees C, and their respective thermal expansion coefficients are within 20% of the monopolar phospholipid, DLPC.

Structure determination of helical filaments by solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:The controlled formation of filamentous protein complexes plays a crucial role in many biological systems and represents an emerging paradigm in signal transduction. The mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) is a central signal transduction hub in innate immunity that is activated by a receptor-induced conversion into helical superstructures (filaments) assembled from its globular caspase activation and recruitment domain. Solid-state NMR (ssNMR) spectroscopy has become one of the most powerful techniques for atomic resolution structures of protein fibrils. However, for helical filaments, the determination of the correct symmetry parameters has remained a significant hurdle for any structural technique and could thus far not be precisely derived from ssNMR data. Here, we solved the atomic resolution structure of helical MAVS(CARD) filaments exclusively from ssNMR data. We present a generally applicable approach that systematically explores the helical symmetry space by efficient modeling of the helical structure restrained by interprotomer ssNMR distance restraints. Together with classical automated NMR structure calculation, this allowed us to faithfully determine the symmetry that defines the entire assembly. To validate our structure, we probed the protomer arrangement by solvent paramagnetic resonance enhancement, analysis of chemical shift differences relative to the solution NMR structure of the monomer, and mutagenesis. We provide detailed information on the atomic contacts that determine filament stability and describe mechanistic details on the formation of signaling-competent MAVS filaments from inactive monomers.

Heterochromatin Protein HP1α Gelation Dynamics Revealed by Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy.

Project description:Heterochromatin protein 1α (HP1α) undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) and forms liquid droplets and gels in vitro, properties that also appear to be central to its biological function in heterochromatin compaction and regulation. Here we use solid-state NMR spectroscopy to track the conformational dynamics of phosphorylated HP1α during its transformation from the liquid to the gel state. Using experiments designed to probe distinct dynamic modes, we identify regions with varying mobilities within HP1α molecules and show that specific serine residues uniquely contribute to gel formation. The addition of chromatin disturbs the gelation process while preserving the conformational dynamics within individual bulk HP1α molecules. Our study provides a glimpse into the dynamic architecture of dense HP1α phases and showcases the potential of solid-state NMR to detect an elusive biophysical regime of phase separating biomolecules.

Membrane proteins in magnetically aligned phospholipid polymer discs for solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:Well-hydrated phospholipid bilayers provide a near-native environment for membrane proteins. They enable the preparation of chemically-defined samples suitable for NMR and other spectroscopic experiments that reveal the structure, dynamics, and functional interactions of the proteins at atomic resolution. The synthetic polymer styrene maleic acid (SMA) can be used to prepare detergent-free samples that form macrodiscs with diameters greater than 30 nm at room temperature, and spontaneously align in the magnetic field of an NMR spectrometer at temperatures above 35 °C. Here we show that magnetically aligned macrodiscs are particularly well suited for solid-state NMR experiments of membrane proteins because the SMA-lipid assembly both immobilizes the embedded protein and provides uniaxial order for oriented sample (OS) solid-state NMR studies. We show that aligned macrodiscs incorporating four different membrane proteins with a wide range of sizes and topological complexity yield high-resolution OS solid-state NMR spectra. The work is dedicated to Michelle Auger who made key contributions to the field of membrane and membrane protein biophysics.

Structure of a Protein-RNA Complex by Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy.

Project description:Solid-state NMR (ssNMR) is applicable to high molecular-weight (MW) protein assemblies in a non-amorphous precipitate. The technique yields atomic resolution structural information on both soluble and insoluble particles without limitations of MW or requirement of crystals. Herein, we propose and demonstrate an approach that yields the structure of protein-RNA complexes (RNP) solely from ssNMR data. Instead of using low-sensitivity magnetization transfer steps between heteronuclei of the protein and the RNA, we measure paramagnetic relaxation enhancement effects elicited on the RNA by a paramagnetic tag coupled to the protein. We demonstrate that this data, together with chemical-shift-perturbation data, yields an accurate structure of an RNP complex, starting from the bound structures of its components. The possibility of characterizing protein-RNA interactions by ssNMR may enable applications to large RNP complexes, whose structures are not accessible by other methods.

Investigation of rhodopsin dynamics in its signaling state by solid-state deuterium NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:Site-directed deuterium NMR spectroscopy is a valuable tool to study the structural dynamics of biomolecules in cases where solution NMR is inapplicable. Solid-state (2)H NMR spectral studies of aligned membrane samples of rhodopsin with selectively labeled retinal provide information on structural changes of the chromophore in different protein states. Moreover (2)H NMR relaxation time measurements allow one to study the dynamics of the ligand during the transition from the inactive to the active state. Here we describe the methodological aspects of solid-state (2)H NMR spectroscopy for functional studies of rhodopsin, with an emphasis on the dynamics of the retinal cofactor. We provide complete protocols for the preparation of NMR samples of rhodopsin with 11-cis-retinal selectively deuterated at the methyl groups in aligned membranes. In addition we review optimized conditions for trapping the rhodopsin photointermediates; and we address the challenging problem of trapping the signaling state of rhodopsin in aligned membrane films.
