Polarization transfer by cross-correlated relaxation in solution NMR with very large molecules.

ABSTRACT: In common multidimensional NMR experiments for studies of biological macromolecules in solution, magnetization transfers via spin-spin couplings [insensitive nuclei enhanced by polarization transfer (INEPT)] are key elements of the pulse schemes. For molecular weights beyond 100,000, transverse relaxation during the transfer time may become a limiting factor. This paper presents a transfer technique for work with big molecules, cross relaxation-enhanced polarization transfer (CRINEPT), which largely reduces the size limitation of INEPT transfers with the use of cross-correlated relaxation-induced polarization transfer. The rate of polarization transfer by cross-correlated relaxation is proportional to the rotational correlation time, so that it becomes a highly efficient transfer mechanism for solution NMR with very high molecular weights. As a first implementation, [15N,1H]-correlation experiments were designed that make use of cross-correlation between dipole-dipole coupling and chemical shift anisotropy of the 15N---1H-moieties for both CRINEPT and transverse relaxation-optimized spectroscopy (TROSY). When compared with INEPT-based [15N,1H]-TROSY, these experiments yielded up to 3-fold signal enhancement for amide groups of a 110,000-Da protein in aqueous solution at 4 degrees C. CRINEPT opens avenues for solution NMR with supramolecular structures such as membrane proteins solubilized in micelles or lipid vesicles, proteins attached to nucleic acid fragments, or oligomeric proteins.

Solution NMR of large molecules and assemblies.

Project description:Solution NMR spectroscopy represents a powerful tool for examining the structure and function of biological macromolecules. The advent of multidimensional (2D-4D) NMR, together with the widespread use of uniform isotopic labeling of proteins and RNA with the NMR-active isotopes, 15N and 13C, opened the door to detailed analyses of macromolecular structure, dynamics, and interactions of smaller macromolecules (< approximately 25 kDa). Over the past 10 years, advances in NMR and isotope labeling methods have expanded the range of NMR-tractable targets by at least an order of magnitude. Here we briefly describe the methodological advances that allow NMR spectroscopy of large macromolecules and their complexes and provide a perspective on the wide range of applications of NMR to biochemical problems.

Project description:An ultra-high-resolution NMR experiment for the measurement of intraresidue (1)H(i)-(15)N(i)-(13)C'(i) dipolar-chemical shift anisotropy relaxation interference is employed to extract information about local backbone geometries in intrinsically disordered proteins. The study of tumor suppressor BASP1 revealed a population shift of β-turn geometries at low pH conditions and a compaction of the BASP1 structural ensemble.

Project description:Although collective dynamics of atom groups steer many biologically relevant processes in biomacromolecules, most atomic resolution motional studies focus on isolated bonds. In this study, a new method is introduced to assess correlated dynamics between bond vectors by cross relaxation nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Dipole-dipole cross correlated relaxation rates between intra- and inter-residual H(N)-N and H(alpha)-C(alpha) in the 56 residue protein GB3 are measured with high accuracy. It is demonstrated that the assumption of anisotropic molecular tumbling is necessary to evaluate rates accurately and predictions from the static structure using effective bond lengths of 1.041 and 1.117 A for H(N)-N and H(alpha)-C(alpha) are within 3% of both experimental intra- and inter-residual rates. Deviations are matched to models of different degrees of motional correlation. These models are based on previously determined orientations and motional amplitudes from residual dipolar couplings with high accuracy and precision. Clear evidence of correlated motion in the loops comprising residues 10-14, 20-22, and 47-50 and anticorrelated motion in the alpha helix comprising 23-38 is presented. Somewhat weaker correlation is observed in the beta strands 2-4, which have previously been shown to exhibit slow correlated motional modes.

Inversion of Hyperpolarized <sup>13</sup>C NMR Signals through Cross-Correlated Cross-Relaxation in Dissolution DNP Experiments.

Project description:Dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (DDNP) is a versatile tool to boost signal amplitudes in solution-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. For DDNP, nuclei are spin-hyperpolarized "ex situ" in a dedicated DNP device and then transferred to an NMR spectrometer for detection. Dramatic signal enhancements can be achieved, enabling shorter acquisition times, real-time monitoring of fast reactions, and reduced sample concentrations. Here, we show how the sample transfer in DDNP experiments can affect NMR spectra through cross-correlated cross-relaxation (CCR), especially in the case of low-field passages. Such processes can selectively invert signals of 13C spins in proton-carrying moieties. For their investigations, we use schemes for simultaneous or "parallel" detection of hyperpolarized 1H and 13C nuclei. We find that 1H → 13C CCR can invert signals of 13C spins if the proton polarization is close to 100%. We deduce that low-field passage in a DDNP experiment, a common occurrence due to the introduction of so-called "ultra-shielded" magnets, accelerates these effects due to field-dependent paramagnetic relaxation enhancements that can influence CCR. The reported effects are demonstrated for various molecules, laboratory layouts, and DDNP systems. As coupled 13C-1H spin systems are ubiquitous, we expect similar effects to be observed in various DDNP experiments. This might be exploited for selective spectroscopic labeling of hydrocarbons.

Slow methyl axes motions in perdeuterated villin headpiece subdomain probed by cross-correlated NMR relaxation measurements.

Project description:Protein methyl groups can participate in multiple motional modes on different time scales. Sub-nanosecond to nano-second time scale motions of methyl axes are particularly challenging to detect for small proteins in solutions. In this work we employ NMR relaxation interference between the methyl H-H/H-C dipole-dipole interactions [Sun&Tugarinov, J. Magn. Reason. 2012] to characterize methyl axes motions as a function of temperature in a small model protein villin headpiece subdomain (HP36), in which all non-exchangeable protons are deuterated with the exception of methyl groups of leucine and valine residues. The data points to the existence of slow motional modes of methyl axes on sub-nanosecond to nanosecond time scales. Further, at high temperatures for which the overall tumbling of the protein is on the order of 2 ns, we observe a coupling between the slow internal motion and the overall molecular tumbling, based on the anomalous order parameters and their temperature-dependent trends. The addition of 28%(w/w) glycerol-d8 increases the viscosity of the solvent and separates the timescales of internal and overall tumbling, thus permitting for another view of the necessity of the coupling assumption for these sites at high temperatures.

Broadband relaxation-optimized polarization transfer in magnetic resonance.

Project description:Many applications of magnetic resonance are limited by rapid loss of spin coherence caused by large transverse relaxation rates. In NMR of large proteins, increased relaxation losses lead to poor sensitivity of experiments and increased measurement time. In this article, we develop broadband relaxation-optimized pulse sequences that approach fundamental limits of coherence transfer efficiency in the presence of very general relaxation mechanisms that include cross-correlated relaxation. These broadband transfer schemes use techniques of chemical shift refocusing (specific trajectory adapted refocusing echoes) that are tailored to specific trajectories of coupled spin evolution. We present simulations and experimental data indicating significant enhancement in the sensitivity of multidimensional NMR experiments of large molecules through these methods.

Efficient 15N-13C Polarization Transfer by Third-Spin-Assisted Pulsed Cross-Polarization Magic-Angle-Spinning NMR for Protein Structure Determination.

Project description:We introduce a pulsed third-spin-assisted recoupling experiment that produces high-intensity long-range 15N-13C cross peaks using low radiofrequency (rf) energy. This Proton-Enhanced Rotor-echo Short-Pulse IRradiATION Cross-Polarization (PERSPIRATIONCP) pulse sequence operates with the same principle as the Proton-Assisted Insensitive-Nuclei Cross-Polarization (PAINCP) experiment but uses only a fraction of the rf energy by replacing continuous-wave 13C and 15N irradiation with rotor-echo 90° pulses. Using formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (f-MLF) and ?1 immunoglobulin binding domain of protein G (GB1) as model proteins, we demonstrate experimentally how PERSPIRATIONCP polarization transfer depends on the CP contact time, rf power, pulse flip angle, and 13C carrier frequency and compare the PERSPIRATIONCP performance with the performances of PAINCP, RESPIRATIONCP, and SPECIFICCP for measuring 15N-13C cross peaks. PERSPIRATIONCP achieves long-range 15N-13C transfer and yields higher cross peak-intensities than that of the other techniques. Numerical simulations reproduce the experimental trends and moreover indicate that PERSPIRATIONCP relies on 15N-1H and 13C-1H dipolar couplings rather than 15N-13C dipolar coupling for polarization transfer. Therefore, PERSPIRATIONCP is an rf-efficient and higher-sensitivity alternative to PAINCP for measuring long-range 15N-13C correlations, which are essential for protein resonance assignment and structure determination. Using cross peaks from two PERSPIRATIONCP 15N-13C correlation spectra as the sole distance restraints, supplemented with (?, ?) torsion angles obtained from chemical shifts, we calculated the GB1 structure and obtained a backbone root-mean-square deviation of 2.0 Å from the high-resolution structure of the protein. Therefore, this rf-efficient PERSPIRATIONCP method is useful for obtaining many long-range distance restraints for protein structure determination.

Slow motions in chicken villin headpiece subdomain probed by cross-correlated NMR relaxation of amide NH bonds in successive residues.

Project description:The villin headpiece subdomain (HP36) is a widely used system for protein-folding studies. Nuclear magnetic resonance cross-correlated relaxation rates arising from correlated fluctuations of two N-H(N) dipole-dipole interactions involving successive residues were measured at two temperatures at which HP36 is at least 99% folded. The experiment revealed the presence of motions slower than overall tumbling of the molecule. Based on the theoretical analysis of the spectral densities we show that the structural and dynamic contributions to the experimental cross-correlated relaxation rate can be separated under certain conditions. As a result, dynamic cross-correlated order parameters describing slow microsecond-to-millisecond motions of N-H bonds in neighboring residues can be introduced for any extent of correlations in the fluctuations of the two bond vectors. These dynamic cross-correlated order parameters have been extracted for HP36. The comparison of their values at two different temperatures indicates that when the temperature is raised, slow motions increase in amplitude. The increased amplitude of these fluctuations may reflect the presence of processes directly preceding the unfolding of the protein.

Complexity of protein energy landscapes studied by solution NMR relaxation dispersion experiments.

Project description:The millisecond time scale motions in ribonuclease A (RNase A) were studied by solution NMR CPMG and off-resonance R1? relaxation dispersion experiments over a wide pH and temperature range. These experiments identify three separate protein regions termed Cluster 1, Cluster 2, and R33, whose motions are governed by distinct thermodynamic parameters. Moreover, each of these regions has motions with different pH dependencies. Cluster 1 shows an increase in activation enthalpy and activation entropy as the pH is lowered, whereas Cluster 2 exhibits the opposite behavior. In contrast, the activation enthalpy and entropy of R33 show no pH dependence. Compounding the differences, ?? values for Cluster 2 are characteristic of two-site conformational exchange, yet similar analysis for Cluster 1 indicates that this region of the enzyme exhibits conformational fluctuations between a major conformer and a pH-dependent average of protonated and deprotonated minor conformers.
