1H n.m.r. studies of insulin. Assignment of resonances and properties of tyrosine residues.

ABSTRACT: The assignment of the aromatic 1H n.m.r. resonances of the four tyrosine residues of bovine 2-zinc insulin is reported, based on double resonance techniques, use of Hahn spin echo pulse sequences and examination of specific derivatives nitrated at tyrosines A14 and A19 as well as des-(B26-B30)-insulin. Titration curves of the four tyrosine residues show that residues A14 and B16 have normal pK' values of 10.3-10.6 in solution, consistent with their accessibility to solvent in monomer and dimer in the crystal. Tyrosine residues A19 and B26 have pK' values of 11.4 and exhibit other features in their titration curves that are consistent with limited accessibility to solvent and a nonpolar environment. The meta protons of residues B16 and B26 both observe the titration of a nearby tyrosine residue, probably A19. Interpretation of the n.m.r. data obtained in solution is consistent with the crystallographic data for the monomer and dimer obtained on insulin crystals [Blundell, Dodson, Hodgkin & Mercola (1972) Adv. Protein Chem. 26, 279-402].

Assignment of 1H and 13C hyperfine-shifted resonances for tuna ferricytochrome c.

Project description:Tuna ferricytochrome c has been used to demonstrate the potential for completely assigning 1H and 13C strongly hyperfine-shifted resonances in metalloprotein paramagnetic centers. This was done by implementation of standard two-dimensional NMR experiments adapted to take advantage of the enhanced relaxation rates of strongly hyperfine-shifted nuclei. The results show that complete proton assignments of the heme and axial ligands can be achieved, and that assignments of several strongly shifted protons from amino acids located close to the heme can also be made. Virtually all proton-bearing heme 13C resonances have been located, and additional 13C resonances from heme vicinity amino acids are also identified. These results represent an improvement over previous proton resonance assignment efforts that were predicated on the knowledge of specific assignments in the diamagnetic protein and relied on magnetization transfer experiments in heterogeneous solutions composed of mixtures of diamagnetic ferrocytochrome c and paramagnetic ferricytochrome c. Even with that more complicated procedure, complete heme proton assignments for ferricytochrome c have never been demonstrated by a single laboratory. The results presented here were achieved using a more generally applicable strategy with a solution of the uniformly oxidized protein, thereby eliminating the requirement of fast electron self-exchange, which is a condition that is frequently not met.

N.m.r. spectroscopic studies of fucose-containing oligosaccharides derived from keratanase digestion of articular cartilage keratan sulphates. Influence of fucose residues on keratanase cleavage.

Project description:Keratan sulphate chains from bovine articular cartilage were fully digested with keratanase from Pseudomonas sp. and the products were reduced with alkaline borohydride. The resultant fragments were fractionated on a Nucleosil 5SB column and the earliest eluting fucose-containing oligosaccharides were isolated. Structural analysis using 1H n.m.r. spectroscopy (600 MHz) showed the two least-charged species to have the following structure: GlcNAc(6S) beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4(Fuc alpha 1-3)GlcNAc(6S) beta 1- 3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc(6S) beta 1-3Gal-ol and GlcNAc(6S) beta 1-3Gal beta 1- 4(Fuc alpha 1-3)GlcNAc(6S) beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc(6S) beta 1-6(Gal beta 1- 3)GalNAc-ol. Both galactoses adjacent to the fucosylated N-acetylglucosamine residue are unsulphated. Therefore, it can be deduced from these structures that the presence of fucose on N-acetylglucosamine residues in keratan sulphates protects both of the adjacent unsulphated galactose residues from keratanase cleavage. This result has implications for the interpretation of keratanase fingerprints, because in articular cartilage keratan sulphates the keratanase-resistant blocks are not solely those with fully sulphated galactose residues, but also include the fucosylated sequences, which have unsulphated galactoses. It is, therefore, not possible to estimate their galactose sulphation or the size of the fully sulphated disaccharide-repeat sequences from keratan sulphates that contain fucose.

High resolution 1H n.m.r. studies of vertebrate blood and plasma.

Project description:Spin echo Fourier transform proton n.m.r. spectra of whole blood contain resonances from both erythrocytes and plasma. A large number of well-resolved signals from mobile protons of low-molecular-weight metabolites in plasma and serum have been identified. Spectra from the plasmas of eight animal species and commercial, quality control sera are compared. CaEDTA2- and MgEDTA2- resonances can be used for the simultaneous determination of EDTA-chelatable calcium and magnesium concentrations in intact plasma and other biological fluids. Cholesterol is too immobile to contribute to the spectra of intact plasma, but is readily estimated by n.m.r. in both its free and esterified forms after extraction into methanol.

Assignment of oriented sample NMR resonances from a three transmembrane helix protein.

Project description:Oriented sample solid state NMR techniques have been routinely employed to determine the structures of membrane proteins with one or two transmembrane helices. For larger proteins the technique has been limited by spectral resolution and lack of assignment strategies. Here, a strategy for resonance assignment is devised and applied to a three transmembrane helix protein. Sequence specific assignments for all labeled transmembrane amino acid sites are obtained, which provide a set of orientational restraints and helix orientations in the bilayer. Our experiments expand the utility of solid state NMR in membrane protein structure characterization to three transmembrane helix proteins and represent a straightforward strategy for routinely characterizing multiple transmembrane helix protein structures.

Facilitated assignment of adenine H2 resonances in oligonucleotides using homonuclear long-range couplings.

Project description:The small homonuclear coupling constant between H2 and H8 protons of adenine (0.5 +/- 0.2 Hz) was determined and exploited to assign the H2 proton of adenine residues in DNA oligonucleotides. The utility of this approach is demonstrated for two different DNA sequences in D(2)O, for which we show a rapid and unambiguous assignment of the A H2 resonances.

1H-n.m.r. studies of the isolated activation segment from pig procarboxypeptidase A.

Project description:The isolated activation segment (asA) from pig pancreatic procarboxypeptidase A was studied by 1H-n.m.r. spectroscopy over a wide range of solution conditions. Isolated asA shows many characteristics of compactly folded globular proteins, such as the observation of perturbed positions for resonances from methyl groups, alpha-carbon atoms, histidine residues and the tyrosine residue. The single tyrosine residue (Tyr-70) exhibits a very high pKa, and both histidine and tyrosine residues show slow chemical modification (deuteration and iodination). In contrast, asA shows rapid NH exchange. Analysis of the spectra by pH titration and nuclear Overhauser effects revealed several residue interactions. Quantitative analysis of deuterium and tritium exchange allowed the assignment of the histidine C-2-H resonances to their respective residues in the sequence. His-66, the closest to the sites of proteolytic attack in the proenzyme, is shown to be the most accessible to solvent in procarboxypeptidase A. It was also shown that asA is thermally very stable ['melting' temperature (Tm) 88 degrees C] and requires a high urea concentration for denaturation (6.25 M, at pH 7.5). Evidence is presented for some degree of conformational flexibility in the premelting range, a feature that could be ascribed to the preponderance of helical secondary structure and to the lack of disulphide bridges. The free solution structure of asA is probably unchanged when it binds to carboxypeptidase A.

Assignment of backbone resonances in a eukaryotic protein kinase - ERK2 as a representative example.

Project description:A first step toward the analysis of the structure, dynamics, and interactions of proteins by NMR is obtaining an acceptable level of resonance assignments. This process is nontrivial in most eukaryotic kinases given their size and suboptimal behavior in solution. Using inactive ERK2 as a representative example, we describe the procedures we utilized to achieve a significant degree of completeness of backbone resonance assignment.

1H-n.m.r. investigation of naturally occurring and chemically oversulphated dermatan sulphates. Identification of minor monosaccharide residues.

Project description:The 1H-n.m.r. spectra of various dermatan sulphate preparations present, besides the major signals of the basic disaccharide unit, several other minor signals. We have assigned most of them by n.m.r., using two-dimensional proton-proton double-quantum-correlation and nuclear-Overhauser-effect spectroscopy experiments. This allowed us to identify 2-O-sulphated L-iduronic acid and D-glucuronic acid residues as well as 6-sulphated N-acetylgalactosamine (presumably 4-O-sulphated as well). 2-O-Sulphated iduronic acid was present to similar extents (6-10% of total uronic acids) in pig skin dermatan sulphate and pig intestine dermatan sulphate, whereas glucuronic acid represented 17% of the uronic acid of pig skin dermatan sulphate and was virtually absent (1%) from the other preparation. 6-O-Sulphated N-acetylgalactosamine was present in minor amounts in pig intestine dermatan sulphate only. The influence of sulphation of iduronic acid units on their conformation was assessed by using chemically oversulphated pig intestine dermatan sulphate. Introduction of sulphate groups in this unit in dermatan sulphate tends to shift the conformational equilibrium towards the 1C4 conformer.

Assignment of the ferriheme resonances of the high-spin forms of nitrophorins 1 and 4 by 1H NMR spectroscopy: comparison to structural data obtained from X-ray crystallography.

Project description:In this work, we report the assignment of the majority of the ferriheme resonances of high-spin nitrophorins (NPs) 1 and 4 and compare them to those of NP2, published previously. It is found that the structures of the ferriheme complexes of NP1 and NP4, in terms of the orientation of the histidine imidazole ligand, can be described with good accuracy by NMR techniques and that the angle plot proposed previously for the high-spin form of the NPs (Shokhireva, T. Kh.; Shokhirev, N. V.; Walker, F. A. Biochemistry 2003, 42, 679-693) describes the angle of the effective nodal plane of the axial histidine imidazole in solution. There is an equilibrium between the two heme orientations (A and B), which depends on the heme cavity shape, which can be altered by mutation of amino acids with side chains (phenyl vs tyrosyl) near the potential position where a heme vinyl group would be in one of the isomers. The A:B ratio can be much more accurately measured by NMR spectroscopy than by X-ray crystallography.
