POKY software tools encapsulating assignment strategies for solution and solid-state protein NMR data.

ABSTRACT: NMR spectroscopy provides structural and functional information about biomolecules and their complexes. The complexity of these systems can make the NMR data difficult to interpret, particularly for newer users of NMR technology, who may have limited understanding of the tools available and how they are used. To alleviate this problem, we have created software based on standardized workflows for both solution and solid-state NMR spectroscopy of proteins. These tools assist with manual and automated peak picking and with chemical shift assignment and validation. They provide users with an optimized path through spectral analysis that can help them perform the necessary tasks more efficiently.

A software framework for analysing solid-state MAS NMR data.

Project description:Solid-state magic-angle-spinning (MAS) NMR of proteins has undergone many rapid methodological developments in recent years, enabling detailed studies of protein structure, function and dynamics. Software development, however, has not kept pace with these advances and data analysis is mostly performed using tools developed for solution NMR which do not directly address solid-state specific issues. Here we present additions to the CcpNmr Analysis software package which enable easier identification of spinning side bands, straightforward analysis of double quantum spectra, automatic consideration of non-uniform labelling schemes, as well as extension of other existing features to the needs of solid-state MAS data. To underpin this, we have updated and extended the CCPN data model and experiment descriptions to include transfer types and nomenclature appropriate for solid-state NMR experiments, as well as a set of experiment prototypes covering the experiments commonly employed by solid-sate MAS protein NMR spectroscopists. This work not only improves solid-state MAS NMR data analysis but provides a platform for anyone who uses the CCPN data model for programming, data transfer, or data archival involving solid-state MAS NMR data.

Solution NMR resonance assignment strategies for ?-barrel membrane proteins.

Project description:Membrane proteins in detergent micelles are large and dynamic complexes that present challenges for solution NMR investigations such as spectral overlap and line broadening. In this study, multiple methods are introduced to facilitate resonance assignment of ?-barrel membrane proteins using Opa60 from Neisseria gonorrhoeae as a model system. Opa60 is an eight-stranded ?-barrel with long extracellular loops (?63% of the protein) that engage host receptors and induce engulfment of the bacterium. The NMR spectra of Opa60 in detergent micelles exhibits significant spectral overlap and resonances corresponding to the loop regions had variable line widths, which interfered with a complete assignment of the protein. To assign the ?-barrel residues, trypsin cleavage was used to remove much of the extracellular loops while preserving the detergent solubilized ?-barrel. The removal of the loop resonances significantly improved the assignment of the Opa60 ?-barrel region (97% of the resonances corresponding to the ?-barrel and periplasmic turns were assigned). For the loop resonance assignments, two strategies were implemented; modulating temperature and synthetic peptides. Lowering the temperature broadened many peaks beyond detection and simplified the spectra to only the most dynamic regions of the loops facilitating 27 loop resonances to be assigned. To further assign functionally important and unstructured regions of the extracellular loops, a synthetic 20 amino acid peptide was synthesized and had nearly complete spectral overlap with the full-length protein allowing 17 loop resonances to be assigned. Collectively, these strategies are effective tools that may accelerate solution NMR structure determination of ?-barrel membrane proteins.

5D solid-state NMR spectroscopy for facilitated resonance assignment.

Project description:1H-detected solid-state NMR spectroscopy has been becoming increasingly popular for the characterization of protein structure, dynamics, and function. Recently, we showed that higher-dimensionality solid-state NMR spectroscopy can aid resonance assignments in large micro-crystalline protein targets to combat ambiguity (Klein et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2022). However, assignments represent both, a time-limiting factor and one of the major practical disadvantages within solid-state NMR studies compared to other structural-biology techniques from a very general perspective. Here, we show that 5D solid-state NMR spectroscopy is not only justified for high-molecular-weight targets but will also be a realistic and practicable method to streamline resonance assignment in small to medium-sized protein targets, which such methodology might not have been expected to be of advantage for. Using a combination of non-uniform sampling and the signal separating algorithm for spectral reconstruction on a deuterated and proton back-exchanged micro-crystalline protein at fast magic-angle spinning, direct amide-to-amide correlations in five dimensions are obtained with competitive sensitivity compatible with common hardware and measurement time commitments. The self-sufficient backbone walks enable efficient assignment with very high confidence and can be combined with higher-dimensionality sidechain-to-backbone correlations from protonated preparations into minimal sets of experiments to be acquired for simultaneous backbone and sidechain assignment. The strategies present themselves as potent alternatives for efficient assignment compared to the traditional assignment approaches in 3D, avoiding user misassignments derived from ambiguity or loss of overview and facilitating automation. This will ease future access to NMR-based characterization for the typical solid-state NMR targets at fast MAS.

ssPINE: Probabilistic Algorithm for Automated Chemical Shift Assignment of Solid-State NMR Data from Complex Protein Systems.

Project description:The heightened dipolar interactions in solids render solid-state NMR (ssNMR) spectra more difficult to interpret than solution NMR spectra. On the other hand, ssNMR does not suffer from severe molecular weight limitations like solution NMR. In recent years, ssNMR has undergone rapid technological developments that have enabled structure-function studies of increasingly larger biomolecules, including membrane proteins. Current methodology includes stable isotope labeling schemes, non-uniform sampling with spectral reconstruction, faster magic angle spinning, and innovative pulse sequences that capture different types of interactions among spins. However, computational tools for the analysis of complex ssNMR data from membrane proteins and other challenging protein systems have lagged behind those for solution NMR. Before a structure can be determined, thousands of signals from individual types of multidimensional ssNMR spectra of samples, which may have differing isotopic composition, must be recognized, correlated, categorized, and eventually assigned to atoms in the chemical structure. To address these tedious steps, we have developed an automated algorithm for ssNMR spectra called "ssPINE". The ssPINE software accepts the sequence of the protein plus peak lists from a variety of ssNMR experiments as inputs and offers automated backbone and side-chain assignments. The alpha version of ssPINE, which we describe here, is freely available through a web submission form.

Loading-Dependent Structural Model of Polymeric Micelles Encapsulating Curcumin by Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy.

Project description:Detailed insight into the internal structure of drug-loaded polymeric micelles is scarce, but important for developing optimized delivery systems. We observed that an increase in the curcumin loading of triblock copolymers based on poly(2-oxazolines) and poly(2-oxazines) results in poorer dissolution properties. Using solid-state NMR spectroscopy and complementary tools we propose a loading-dependent structural model on the molecular level that provides an explanation for these pronounced differences. Changes in the chemical shifts and cross-peaks in 2D NMR experiments give evidence for the involvement of the hydrophobic polymer block in the curcumin coordination at low loadings, while at higher loadings an increase in the interaction with the hydrophilic polymer blocks is observed. The involvement of the hydrophilic compartment may be critical for ultrahigh-loaded polymer micelles and can help to rationalize specific polymer modifications to improve the performance of similar drug delivery systems.

Heat management strategies for solid-state NMR of functional proteins.

Project description:Modern solid-state NMR methods can acquire high-resolution protein spectra for structure determination. However, these methods use rapid sample spinning and intense decoupling fields that can heat and denature the protein being studied. Here we present a strategy to avoid destroying valuable samples. We advocate first creating a sacrificial sample, which contains unlabeled protein (or no protein) in buffer conditions similar to the intended sample. This sample is then doped with the chemical shift thermometer Sm2Sn2O7. We introduce a pulse scheme called TCUP (for Temperature Calibration Under Pulseload) that can characterize the heating of this sacrificial sample rapidly, under a variety of experimental conditions, and with high temporal resolution. Sample heating is discussed with respect to different instrumental variables such as spinning speed, decoupling strength and duration, and cooling gas flow rate. The effects of different sample preparation variables are also discussed, including ionic strength, the inclusion of cryoprotectants, and the physical state of the sample (i.e. liquid, solid, or slurry). Lastly, we discuss probe detuning as a measure of sample thawing that does not require retuning the probe or using chemical shift thermometer compounds. Use of detuning tests and chemical shift thermometers with representative sample conditions makes it possible to maximize the efficiency of the NMR experiment while retaining a functional sample.

Nano-mole scale sequential signal assignment by (1)H-detected protein solid-state NMR.

Project description:We present a 3D (1)H-detected solid-state NMR (SSNMR) approach for main-chain signal assignments of 10-100 nmol of fully protonated proteins using ultra-fast magic-angle spinning (MAS) at ?80 kHz by a novel spectral-editing method, which permits drastic spectral simplification. The approach offers ?110 fold time saving over a traditional 3D (13)C-detected SSNMR approach.

AssignFit: a program for simultaneous assignment and structure refinement from solid-state NMR spectra.

Project description:AssignFit is a computer program developed within the XPLOR-NIH package for the assignment of dipolar coupling (DC) and chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) restraints derived from the solid-state NMR spectra of protein samples with uniaxial order. The method is based on minimizing the difference between experimentally observed solid-state NMR spectra and the frequencies back calculated from a structural model. Starting with a structural model and a set of DC and CSA restraints grouped only by amino acid type, as would be obtained by selective isotopic labeling, AssignFit generates all of the possible assignment permutations and calculates the corresponding atomic coordinates oriented in the alignment frame, together with the associated set of NMR frequencies, which are then compared with the experimental data for best fit. Incorporation of AssignFit in a simulated annealing refinement cycle provides an approach for simultaneous assignment and structure refinement (SASR) of proteins from solid-state NMR orientation restraints. The methods are demonstrated with data from two integral membrane proteins, one ?-helical and one ?-barrel, embedded in phospholipid bilayer membranes.

Assignment and secondary structure of the YadA membrane protein by solid-state MAS NMR.

Project description:We report the complete solid-state MAS NMR resonance assignment of a medium-sized, trimeric membrane protein, YadA-M. The protein YadA (Yersinia adhesin A) is an important virulence factor of enteropathogenic Yersinia species (such as Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis). YadA is localized on the bacterial cell surface and is involved in adhesion to host cells and tissues. It is anchored in the outer membrane by a transmembrane anchor domain (YadA-M). This domain hosts the so-called autotransporter function of YadA: it transports its own N-terminal domain through the outer membrane. The assignment is based on a dataset that consisted of several MAS NMR correlation spectra, recorded on a single, uniformly (13)C, (15)N- labelled microcrystalline preparation. Except for the single C-terminal residue and the mobile strep tag, we were able to completely assign YadA-M. From this, secondary structure elements were predicted, which, combined with several long-range interstrand restraints, yielded the architecture of the β-sheet.

Membrane Protein Structure Determination and Characterisation by Solution and Solid-State NMR.

Project description:Biological membranes define the interface of life and its basic unit, the cell. Membrane proteins play key roles in membrane functions, yet their structure and mechanisms remain poorly understood. Breakthroughs in crystallography and electron microscopy have invigorated structural analysis while failing to characterise key functional interactions with lipids, small molecules and membrane modulators, as well as their conformational polymorphism and dynamics. NMR is uniquely suited to resolving atomic environments within complex molecular assemblies and reporting on membrane organisation, protein structure, lipid and polysaccharide composition, conformational variations and molecular interactions. The main challenge in membrane protein studies at the atomic level remains the need for a membrane environment to support their fold. NMR studies in membrane mimetics and membranes of increasing complexity offer close to native environments for structural and molecular studies of membrane proteins. Solution NMR inherits high resolution from small molecule analysis, providing insights from detergent solubilised proteins and small molecular assemblies. Solid-state NMR achieves high resolution in membrane samples through fast sample spinning or sample alignment. Recent developments in dynamic nuclear polarisation NMR allow signal enhancement by orders of magnitude opening new opportunities for expanding the applications of NMR to studies of native membranes and whole cells.
