Studies of acidosis in the ischaemic heart by phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance.

ABSTRACT: 1. Phosphorus-nuclear-magnetic-resonance measurements were made on perfused rat hearts at 37 degrees C. 2. With the improved sensitivity obtained by using a wide-bore 4.3 T superconducting magnet, spectra could be recorded in 1 min. 3. The concentrations of ATP, phosphocreatine and Pi and, from the position of the Pi resonance, the intracellular pH (pHi) were measured under a variety of conditions. 4. In a normal perfused heart pHi = 7.05 +/- 0.02 (mean +/- S.E.M. for seven hearts). 5. During global ischaemia pHi drops to 6.2 +/- 0.06 (mean +/- S.E.M.) in 13 min in a pseudoexponential decay with a rate constant of 0.25 min-1. 6. The relation between glycogen content and acidosis in ischaemia is studied in glycogen-depleted hearts. 7. Perfusion of hearts with a buffer containing 100 mM-Hepes before ischaemia gives a significant protective effect on the ischaemic myocardium. Intracellular pH and ATP and phosphocreatine concentrations decline more slowly under these conditions and metabolic recovery is observed on reperfusion after 30min of ischaemia at 37 degrees C. 8. The relation between acidosis and the export of protons is discussed and the significance of glycogenolysis in ischaemic acid production is evaluated.

Phosphorus nuclear-magnetic-resonance studies of compartmentation in muscle.

Project description:1. Phosphorus nuclear-magnetic-resonance measurements were made on rat vastus lateralis muscle. 2. In the absence of oxygenation, the resonance from P1 broadens, as the 'energy pool' of the muscle gradually runs down. This, together with measurements of transverse relaxation times (T2) indicate that the intracellular pH is not uniform within the muscle volume. 3. Incubation of the muscle with acetate buffer at low pH (5.2) results in splitting of the P1 resonance into two components; one corresponds to phosphate in a low-pH environment and the other to phosphate in its original environment. These observations indicate that P1 is distributed among different compartments in the muscle cell. 4. Compartmentation of sugar phosphate (mainly glucose 6-phosphate) is also indicated by this method, but no evidence has been obtained for this type of compartmentation of ATP and phosphocreatine.

Phosphorus nuclear-magnetic-resonance studies of the transition-state analogue complex of creatine kinase.

Project description:31P nuclear-magnetic-resonance spectra of MgADP bound to creatine kinase in the presence of creatine NO3- ions show that there are two non-identical forms of the bound nucleotide. The sites have different affinities for the nucleotide. MgADP at the high-affinity site is in slow exchange (k less than 125s-1 at 27 degrees C) with free MgADP.

Activity of phosphorylase in total global ischaemia in the rat heart. A phosphorus-31 nuclear-magnetic-resonance study.

Project description:1. The uptake and subsequent phosphorylation of deoxyglucose into perfused rat hearts was monitored by 31P n.m.r. 2. The accumulated deoxyglucose 6-phosphate provided (a) an independent method for measuring cytosolic pH in the normoxic and ischaemic heart tissue and (b) a way of studying the activity of phosphorylase during ischaemia. 3. The cytosolic pH measured from the 31P n.m.r. resonance position of deoxyglucose 6-phosphate is in good agreement under all conditions studied with that obtained previously from the Pi resonances. This eliminates any possible doubts about the use of Pi for measuring intracellular pH. 4. Deoxyglucose 6-phosphate in vitro inhibits phosphorylase b but not phosphorylase a. Its inhibitory effect on glycogenolysis during ischaemia is monitored by measuring tissue acidosis by n.m.r. In the initial stages of ischaemia phosphorylase activity is not inhibited, whereas after about 5 min approx. 50% of the activity is inhibited. These observations are interpreted in terms of the relative contributions of phosphorylase a and the AMP-dependent phosphorylase b activities during ischaemia.

Physical studies on phosphonium phosphatidylcholine. A unique [31P]phosphorus nuclear-magnetic-resonance probe for model and biological membranes.

Project description:1. Distearoyl phosphatidylcholine and the phosphonium analogue, in which the nitrogen atom is replaced by phosphorus, show similar gel-liquid crystalline transition temperatures as detected by differential scanning calorimetry. 2. The temperature-dependence of the 31P n.m.r. (nuclear-magnetic-resonance) linewidths of the phosphate resonances of sonicated vesicles of distearoyl phosphatidylcholine and the phosphonium analogue are similar. Below the phase-transition temperature the linewidths decrease as the temperature is raised. Above the phase-transition temperature the phosphate resonances are relatively temperature-independent. The phosphonium 31P n.m.r. signal exhibits the same pattern of temperature-dependence. 3. The 31P n.m.r. phosphonium resonance is sensitive to the paramagnetic shift reagent, K3Fe(CN)6. Use of K3Fe(CN)6, together with Nd(NO3)3, enabled the determination of the trans-bilayer distribution of egg-yolk phosphatidylcholine and its phosphonium analogue in co-sonicated vesicles. Both are distributed comparably across the bilayer of the vesicles. 4. The phosphonium 31P n.m.r. signal is much sharper than the corresponding phosphate resonance in both sonicated and unsonicated dispersions of the phosphatidylcholine analogue. 5. The properties of the phosphonium analogue of phosphatidylcholine are discussed in terms of its suitability as a probe of membrane structure.

A sex-specific metabolite identified in a marine invertebrate utilizing phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance.

Project description:Hormone level differences are generally accepted as the primary cause for sexual dimorphism in animal and human development. Levels of low molecular weight metabolites also differ between men and women in circulating amino acids, lipids and carbohydrates and within brain tissue. While investigating the metabolism of blue crab tissues using Phosphorus-31 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, we discovered that only the male blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) contained a phosphorus compound with a chemical shift well separated from the expected phosphate compounds. Spectra obtained from male gills were readily differentiated from female gill spectra. Analysis from six years of data from male and female crabs documented that the sex-specificity of this metabolite was normal for this species. Microscopic analysis of male and female gills found no differences in their gill anatomy or the presence of parasites or bacteria that might produce this phosphorus compound. Analysis of a rare gynandromorph blue crab (laterally, half male and half female) proved that this sex-specificity was an intrinsic biochemical process and was not caused by any variations in the diet or habitat of male versus female crabs. The existence of a sex-specific metabolite is a previously unrecognized, but potentially significant biochemical phenomenon. An entire enzyme system has been synthesized and activated only in one sex. Unless blue crabs are a unique species, sex-specific metabolites are likely to be present in other animals. Would the presence or absence of a sex-specific metabolite affect an animal's development, anatomy and biochemistry?

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Studies of Bicontinuous Liquid Crystalline Phases of Cubic Symmetry: Transport Properties from <sup>2</sup>H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Relaxation Rates.

Project description:The ternary system didodecyltrimethylammonium bromide, 1-decanol, and water forms an extended reversed continuous phase of cubic symmetry at 25 °C. The cubic phase belongs to the space group Im3m, as shown by small-angle X-ray experiments. We present extensive deuterium NMR relaxation data from this cubic phase for 1-decanol, deuterated at the carbon adjacent to the hydroxyl carbon position. 2H spin-lattice (R1) and spin-spin (R2) relaxation rates were measured over the existence region of the cubic phase, which extends from 0.2 to 0.6 in volume fraction of the dividing bilayer surface of the cubic phase. The data are interpreted with an existing theoretical framework for NMR spin relaxation in bicontinuous cubic phases, which takes its starting point in the description of bicontinuous phases using periodic minimal surfaces. Specifically, we obtain the self-diffusion coefficient over the minimal surface in one unit cell for 1-decanol. We also present pulsed field gradient NMR-derived self-diffusion data for didodecyltrimethylammonium bromide and compare the two sets of data. The diffusion data for both components show a mild, if any, dependence on the volume fraction of the bilayer surface. Furthermore, we present diffusion data for the water component in the cubic phase. Finally, we discuss the influences of the choice of the value of the product of the deuterium quadrupole constant and the order parameter S. Within the framework of the model used to analyze the relaxation data, a value for this parameter is required. As an initial value, we rely on measurements of deuterium quadrupolar splittings from deuterated decanol in an anisotropic phase.

<sup>31</sup>P Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy as a Probe of Thorium-Phosphorus Bond Covalency: Correlating Phosphorus Chemical Shift to Metal-Phosphorus Bond Order.

Project description:We report the use of solution and solid-state 31P Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy combined with Density Functional Theory calculations to benchmark the covalency of actinide-phosphorus bonds, thus introducing 31P NMR spectroscopy to the investigation of molecular f-element chemical bond covalency. The 31P NMR data for [Th(PH2)(TrenTIPS)] (1, TrenTIPS = {N(CH2CH2NSiPri3)3}3-), [Th(PH)(TrenTIPS)][Na(12C4)2] (2, 12C4 = 12-crown-4 ether), [{Th(TrenTIPS)}2(μ-PH)] (3), and [{Th(TrenTIPS)}2(μ-P)][Na(12C4)2] (4) demonstrate a chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) ordering of (μ-P)3- > (═PH)2- > (μ-PH)2- > (-PH2)1- and for 4 the largest CSA for any bridging phosphido unit. The B3LYP functional with 50% Hartree-Fock mixing produced spin-orbit δiso values that closely match the experimental data, providing experimentally benchmarked quantification of the nature and extent of covalency in the Th-P linkages in 1-4 via Natural Bond Orbital and Natural Localized Molecular Orbital analyses. Shielding analysis revealed that the 31P δiso values are essentially only due to the nature of the Th-P bonds in 1-4, with largely invariant diamagnetic but variable paramagnetic and spin-orbit shieldings that reflect the Th-P bond multiplicities and s-orbital mediated transmission of spin-orbit effects from Th to P. This study has permitted correlation of Th-P δiso values to Mayer bond orders, revealing qualitative correlations generally, but which should be examined with respect to specific ancillary ligand families rather than generally to be quantitative, reflecting that 31P δiso values are a very sensitive reporter due to phosphorus being a soft donor that responds to the rest of the ligand field much more than stronger, harder donors like nitrogen.

Structural Studies of Amyloid Fibrils by Paramagnetic Solid-State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy.

Project description:Application of paramagnetic solid-state NMR to amyloids is demonstrated, using Y145Stop human prion protein modified with nitroxide spin-label or EDTA-Cu2+ tags as a model. By using sample preparation protocols based on seeding with preformed fibrils, we show that paramagnetic protein analogs can be induced into adopting the wild-type amyloid structure. Measurements of residue-specific intramolecular and intermolecular paramagnetic relaxation enhancements enable determination of protein fold within the fibril core and protofilament assembly. These methods are expected to be widely applicable to other amyloids and protein assemblies.

Atomic Scale Structural Studies of Macromolecular Assemblies by Solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy.

Project description:Supramolecular protein assemblies play fundamental roles in biological processes ranging from host-pathogen interaction, viral infection to the propagation of neurodegenerative disorders. Such assemblies consist in multiple protein subunits organized in a non-covalent way to form large macromolecular objects that can execute a variety of cellular functions or cause detrimental consequences. Atomic insights into the assembly mechanisms and the functioning of those macromolecular assemblies remain often scarce since their inherent insolubility and non-crystallinity often drastically reduces the quality of the data obtained from most techniques used in structural biology, such as X-ray crystallography and solution Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). We here present magic-angle spinning solid-state NMR spectroscopy (SSNMR) as a powerful method to investigate structures of macromolecular assemblies at atomic resolution. SSNMR can reveal atomic details on the assembled complex without size and solubility limitations. The protocol presented here describes the essential steps from the production of 13C/15N isotope-labeled macromolecular protein assemblies to the acquisition of standard SSNMR spectra and their analysis and interpretation. As an example, we show the pipeline of a SSNMR structural analysis of a filamentous protein assembly.

Super-Resolved Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy.

Project description:We present a novel method that breaks the resolution barrier in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, allowing one to accurately estimate the chemical shift values of highly overlapping or broadened peaks. This problem is routinely encountered in NMR when peaks have large linewidths due to rapidly decaying signals, hindering its application. We address this problem based on the notion of finite-rate-of-innovation (FRI) sampling, which is based on the premise that signals such as the NMR signal, can be accurately reconstructed using fewer measurements than that required by existing approaches. The FRI approach leads to super-resolution, beyond the limits of contemporary NMR techniques. Using this method, we could measure for the first time small changes in chemical shifts during the formation of a Gold nanorod-protein complex, facilitating the quantification of the strength of such interactions. The method thus opens up new possibilities for the application and acceleration of multidimensional NMR spectroscopy across a wide range of systems.
