Determining the affinity and stoichiometry of interactions between unmodified proteins in solution using Biacore.

ABSTRACT: We describe a general Biacore method for measuring equilibrium binding affinities and stoichiometries for interactions between unmodified proteins and their unmodified ligands free in solution. Mixtures of protein and ligand are preequilibrated at different ratios in solution and then analyzed by Biacore using a sensor chip surface that detects only unbound analyte. Performing the Biacore analysis under mass transport limited conditions allows the concentration of unbound analyte to be determined from the initial velocity of binding. Plots of initial velocity versus the concentration of the varied binding partner are fitted to a quadratic binding equation to give the affinity and stoichiometry of binding. We demonstrate the method using soluble Her2 extracellular domain binding to monovalent, bivalent, and trivalent forms of an anti-Her2 antibody. The affinity we measured agrees with that obtained from conventional Biacore kinetic analysis, and the stoichiometries for the resulting 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 complexes were confirmed by gel filtration with in-line light scattering. The method is applicable over an affinity range of approximately 100 pM to 1 μM and is particularly useful when there is concern that covalently modifying one or the other binding partner might affect its binding properties or where multivalency might otherwise complicate a quantitative analysis of binding.

Determining antibody stoichiometry using time-integrated fluorescence cumulant analysis.

Project description:We applied fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy to resolve the binding heterogeneity of fluorescently labeled ligand derived from brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), a widely used diagnostic marker of heart failure, to a corresponding monoclonal antibody. This system includes three species: (1) free ligand molecules, (2) antibody with a single site occupied, and (3) antibody with both sites occupied. The method we used, time-integrated fluorescence cumulant analysis (TIFCA), utilizes cumulants of fluorescence fluctuations to resolve subpopulations of multiple fluorescent species freely diffusing in a solution. The values of the cumulants depend on the concentration, molecular brightness and diffusion time of the fluorescent molecules. The number of molecules in each species reflects the antibody affinity. We apply TIFCA to successfully establish the stoichiometry of the system, estimate affinity, and identify the presence of an inactive fraction of antigen in a single titration experiment.

Protocol for deriving proximity, affinity, and stoichiometry of protein interactions using image-based quantitative two-hybrid FRET.

Project description:Two-hybrid Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) provides proximity, affinity, and stoichiometry information in binding interactions. We present an image-based approach that surpasses traditional two-hybrid FRET assays in precision and robustness. We outline instrument setup and image acquisition and further describe steps for image preprocessing and two-hybrid FRET analysis using provided software to simplify the workflow. This protocol is compatible with confocal microscopes for high-precision and imaging plate readers for high-throughput applications. A plasmid-based reference system supports fast establishment of the protocol. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Rivas et al.1.

Stoichiometry and affinity of the human serum albumin-Alzheimer's A? peptide interactions.

Project description:A promising strategy to control the aggregation of the Alzheimer's A? peptide in the brain is the clearance of A? from the central nervous system into the peripheral blood plasma. Among plasma proteins, human serum albumin plays a critical role in the A? clearance to the peripheral sink by binding to A? oligomers and preventing further growth into fibrils. However, the stoichiometry and the affinities of the albumin-A? oligomer interactions are still to be fully characterized. For this purpose, here we investigate the A? oligomer-albumin complexes through a novel and generally applicable experimental strategy combining saturation transfer and off-resonance relaxation NMR experiments with ultrafiltration, domain deletions, and dynamic light scattering. Our results show that the A? oligomers are recognized by albumin through sites that are evenly partitioned across the three albumin domains and that bind the A? oligomers with similar dissociation constants in the 1-100 nM range, as assessed based on a Scatchard-like model of the albumin inhibition isotherms. Our data not only explain why albumin is able to inhibit amyloid formation at physiological nM A? concentrations, but are also consistent with the presence of a single high affinity albumin-binding site per A? protofibril, which avoids the formation of extended insoluble aggregates.

Determining the Stoichiometry of Small Protein Oligomers Using Steady-State Fluorescence Anisotropy.

Project description:A large fraction of soluble and membrane-bound proteins exists as non-covalent dimers, trimers, and higher-order oligomers. The experimental determination of the oligomeric state or stoichiometry of proteins remains a nontrivial challenge. In one approach, the protein of interest is genetically fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP). If a fusion protein assembles into a non-covalent oligomeric complex, exciting their GFP moiety with polarized fluorescent light elicits homotypic Förster resonance energy transfer (homo-FRET), in which the emitted radiation is partially depolarized. Fluorescence depolarization is associated with a decrease in fluorescence anisotropy that can be exploited to calculate the oligomeric state. In a classical approach, several parameters obtained through time-resolved and steady-state anisotropy measurements are required for determining the stoichiometry of the oligomers. Here, we examined novel approaches in which time-resolved measurements of reference proteins provide the parameters that can be used to interpret the less expensive steady-state anisotropy data of candidates. In one approach, we find that using average homo-FRET rates (kFRET), average fluorescence lifetimes (τ), and average anisotropies of those fluorophores that are indirectly excited by homo-FRET (rET) do not compromise the accuracy of calculated stoichiometries. In the other approach, fractional photobleaching of reference oligomers provides a novel parameter a whose dependence on stoichiometry allows one to quantitatively interpret the increase of fluorescence anisotropy seen after photobleaching the candidates. These methods can at least reliably distinguish monomers from dimers and trimers.

Structure of pyrazole derivatives impact their affinity, stoichiometry, and cooperative interactions for CYP2E1 complexes.

Project description:CYP2E1 plays a critical role in detoxification and carcinogenic activation of drugs, pollutants, and dietary compounds; however, these metabolic processes can involve poorly characterized cooperative interactions that compromise the ability to understand and predict CYP2E1 metabolism. Herein, we employed an array of ten azoles with an emphasis on pyrazoles to establish the selectivity of catalytic and cooperative CYP2E1 sites through binding and catalytic studies. Spectral binding studies for monocyclic azoles suggested two binding events, while bicyclic azoles suggested one. Pyrazole had moderate affinity toward the CYP2E1 catalytic site that improved when a methyl group was introduced at either position 3 or 4. The presence of methyl groups simultaneously at positions 3 and 5 blocked binding, and a phenyl group at position 3 did not improve binding affinity. In contrast, pyrazole fusion to a benzene or cyclohexane ring greatly increased affinity. The consequences of these binding events on CYP2E1 catalysis were studied through inhibition studies with 4-nitrophenol, a substrate known to bind both sites. Most pyrazoles shared a common mixed cooperative inhibition mechanism in which pyrazole binding rescued CYP2E1 from substrate inhibition. Overall, inhibitor affinities toward the CYP2E1 catalytic site were similar to those reported in binding studies, and the same trend was observed for binding at the cooperative site. Taken together, these studies identified key structural determinants in the affinity and stoichiometry of azole interactions with CYP2E1 and consequences on catalysis that further advance an understanding of the relationship between structure and function for this enzyme.

Improved Method for Determining Absolute Phosphorylation Stoichiometry Using Bayesian Statistics and Isobaric Labeling.

Project description:Phosphorylation stoichiometry, or occupancy, is one element of phosphoproteomics that can add useful biological context (Gerber et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 2003, 100, 6940-5). We previously developed a method to assess phosphorylation stoichiometry on a proteome-wide scale (Wu et al. Nat. Methods 2011, 8, 677-83). The stoichiometry calculation relies on identifying and measuring the levels of each nonphosphorylated counterpart peptide with and without phosphatase treatment. The method, however, is problematic in that low stoichiometry phosphopeptides can return negative stoichiometry values if measurement error is larger than the percent stoichiometry. Here, we have improved the stoichiometry method through the use of isobaric labeling with 10-plex TMT reagents. In this way, five phosphatase treated and five untreated samples are compared simultaneously so that each stoichiometry is represented by five ratio measurements with no missing values. We applied the method to determine basal stoichiometries of HCT116 cells growing in culture. With this method, we analyzed five biological replicates simultaneously with no need for phosphopeptide enrichment. Additionally, we developed a Bayesian model to estimate phosphorylation stoichiometry as a parameter confined to an interval between 0 and 1 implemented as an R/Stan script. Consequently, both point and interval estimates are consistent with the plausible range of values for stoichiometry. Finally, we report absolute stoichiometry measurements with credible intervals for 6772 phosphopeptides containing at least a single phosphorylation site.

REDCRAFT: A computational platform using residual dipolar coupling NMR data for determining structures of perdeuterated proteins in solution.

Project description:Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the three primary experimental means of characterizing macromolecular structures, including protein structures. Structure determination by solution NMR spectroscopy has traditionally relied heavily on distance restraints derived from nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) measurements. While structure determination of proteins from NOE-based restraints is well understood and broadly used, structure determination from Residual Dipolar Couplings (RDCs) is relatively less well developed. Here, we describe the new features of the protein structure modeling program REDCRAFT and focus on the new Adaptive Decimation (AD) feature. The AD plays a critical role in improving the robustness of REDCRAFT to missing or noisy data, while allowing structure determination of larger proteins from less data. In this report we demonstrate the successful application of REDCRAFT in structure determination of proteins ranging in size from 50 to 145 residues using experimentally collected data, and of larger proteins (145 to 573 residues) using simulated RDC data. In both cases, REDCRAFT uses only RDC data that can be collected from perdeuterated proteins. Finally, we compare the accuracy of structure determination from RDCs alone with traditional NOE-based methods for the structurally novel PF.2048.1 protein. The RDC-based structure of PF.2048.1 exhibited 1.0 Å BB-RMSD with respect to a high-quality NOE-based structure. Although optimal strategies would include using RDC data together with chemical shift, NOE, and other NMR data, these studies provide proof-of-principle for robust structure determination of largely-perdeuterated proteins from RDC data alone using REDCRAFT.

Stoichiometry of lipid interactions with transmembrane proteins--Deduced from the 3D structures.

Project description:The stoichiometry of the first shell of lipids interacting with a transmembrane protein is defined operationally by the population of spin-labeled lipid chains whose motion is restricted directly by the protein. Interaction stoichiometries have been determined experimentally for a wide range of alpha-helical integral membrane proteins by using spin-label ESR spectroscopy. Here, we determine the spatially defined number of first-shell lipids at the hydrophobic perimeter of integral membrane proteins whose 3D structure has been determined by X-ray crystallography and lipid-protein interactions characterized by spin-labeling. Molecular modeling is used to build a single shell of lipids surrounding transmembrane structures derived from the PDB. Constrained energy optimization of the protein-lipid assemblies is performed by molecular mechanics. For relatively small proteins (up to 7-12 transmembrane helices), the geometrical first shell corresponds to that defined experimentally by perturbation of the lipid-chain dynamics. For larger, multi-subunit alpha-helical proteins, the lipids perturbed directly by the protein may either exceed or be less in number than those that can be accommodated at the intramembranous perimeter. In these latter cases, the motionally restricted spin-labeled lipids can be augmented by intercalation, or can correspond to a specific subpopulation at the protein interface, respectively. For monomeric beta-barrel proteins, the geometrical lipid stoichiometry corresponds to that determined from lipid mobility for a 22-stranded barrel, but fewer lipids are motionally restricted than can be accommodated around an eight-stranded barrel. Deviations from the geometrical first shell, in the beta-barrel case, are for the smaller protein with a highly curved barrel.
