The kinase inhibitory domain of the cell cycle regulatory protein p27Kip1 (p27) was nuclear spin hyperpolarized using dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (D‐DNP). While intrinsically disordered in isolation, p27 adopts secondary structural motifs, including an α‐helical structure, upon binding to cyclin‐dependent kinase 2 (Cdk2)/cyclin A. The sensitivity gains obtained with hyperpolarization enable the real‐time observation of 13C NMR signals during p27 folding upon binding to Cdk2/cyclin A on a time scale of several seconds. Time‐dependent intensity changes are dependent on the extent of folding and binding, as manifested in differential spin relaxation. The analysis of signal decay rates suggests the existence of a partially folded p27 intermediate during the timescale of the D‐DNP NMR experiment. 相似文献

The dynamic fluctuations of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) define their function. Although experimental nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation reveals the motional complexity of these highly flexible proteins, the absence of physical models describing IDP dynamics hinders their mechanistic interpretation. Combining molecular dynamics simulation and NMR, we introduce a framework in which distinct motions are attributed to local libration, backbone dihedral angle dynamics and longer‐range tumbling of one or more peptide planes. This model provides unique insight into segmental organization of dynamics in IDPs and allows us to investigate the presence and extent of the correlated motions that are essential for function. 相似文献

Intrinsically disordered proteins have been reported to undergo disorder‐to‐order transitions upon binding to their partners in the cell. The extent of the ordering upon binding and the lack of order prior to binding is difficult to visualize with classical structure determination methods. Binding of p27 to the Cdk2/cyclin A complex is accompanied by partial folding of p27 in the KID domain, with the retention of dynamic behavior for function, particularly in the C‐terminal half of the protein. Herein, native ion mobility mass spectrometry (IM‐MS) is employed to measure the intrinsic dynamic properties of p27, both in isolation and within the trimeric complex with Cdk2/cyclin A. The trimeric Cdk2/cyclin A/p27‐KID complex possesses significant structural heterogeneity compared to Cdk2/cyclin A. These findings support the formation of a fuzzy complex in which both the N‐ and C‐termini of p27 interact with Cdk2/cyclin A in multiple, closely associated states. 相似文献

We present an integrated approach for investigating the topology of proteins through native mass spectrometry (MS) and cross‐linking/MS, which we applied to the full‐length wild‐type p53 tetramer. For the first time, the two techniques were combined in one workflow to obtain not only structural insight in the p53 tetramer, but also information on the cross‐linking efficiency and the impact of cross‐linker modification on the conformation of an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP). P53 cross‐linking was monitored by native MS and as such, our strategy serves as a quality control for different cross‐linking reagents. Our approach can be applied to the structural investigation of various protein systems, including IDPs and large protein assemblies, which are challenging to study by the conventional methods used for protein structure characterization. 相似文献

Despite the importance of protein–surface interactions in both biology and biotechnology, our understanding of their origins is limited due to a paucity of experimental studies of the thermodynamics behind such interactions. In response, we have characterized the extent to which interaction with a chemically well‐defined macroscopic surface alters the stability of protein L. To do so, we site‐specifically attached a redox‐reporter‐modified protein variant to a hydroxy‐terminated monolayer on a gold surface and then used electrochemistry to monitor its guanidine denaturation and determine its folding free energy. Comparison with the free energy seen in solution indicates that interaction with this surface stabilizes the protein by 6 kJ mol?1, a value that is in good agreement with theoretical estimates of the entropic consequences of surface‐induced excluded volume effects, thus suggesting that chemically specific interactions with this surface (e.g., electrostatic interactions) are limited in magnitude. 相似文献

The structure‐based design of M‐525 as the first‐in‐class, highly potent, irreversible small‐molecule inhibitor of the menin‐MLL interaction is presented. M‐525 targets cellular menin protein at sub‐nanomolar concentrations and achieves low nanomolar potencies in cell growth inhibition and in the suppression of MLL‐regulated gene expression in MLL leukemia cells. M‐525 demonstrates high cellular specificity over non‐MLL leukemia cells and is more than 30 times more potent than its corresponding reversible inhibitors. Mass spectrometric analysis and co‐crystal structure of M‐525 in complex with menin firmly establish its mode of action. A single administration of M‐525 effectively suppresses MLL‐regulated gene expression in tumor tissue. An efficient procedure was developed to synthesize M‐525. This study demonstrates that irreversible inhibition of menin may be a promising therapeutic strategy for MLL leukemia. 相似文献

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) play crucial roles in protein interaction networks and in this context frequently constitute important hubs and interfaces. Here we show by a combination of NMR and EPR spectroscopy that the binding of the cytokine osteopontin (OPN) to its natural ligand, heparin, is accompanied by thermodynamically compensating structural adaptations. The core segment of OPN expands upon binding. This “unfolding‐upon‐binding” is governed primarily through electrostatic interactions between heparin and charged patches along the protein backbone and compensates for entropic penalties due to heparin–OPN binding. It is shown how structural unfolding compensates for entropic losses through ligand binding in IDPs and elucidates the interplay between structure and thermodynamics of rapid substrate‐binding and ‐release events in IDP interaction networks. 相似文献

Small‐molecule crosslinkers are invaluable for probing biomolecular interactions and for crosslinking mass spectrometry. Existing chemical crosslinkers target only a small selection of amino acids, while conventional photo‐crosslinkers target almost all residues non‐specifically, complicating data analysis. Herein, we report photocaged quinone methide (PQM)‐based crosslinkers that target nine nucleophilic residues through Michael addition, including Gln, Arg, and Asn, which are inaccessible to existing chemical crosslinkers. PQM crosslinkers were used in vitro, in Escherichia coli, and in mammalian cells to crosslink dimeric proteins and endogenous membrane receptors. The heterobifunctional crosslinker NHQM could crosslink proteins to DNA, for which few crosslinkers exist. The photoactivatable reactivity of these crosslinkers and their ability to target multiple amino acids will enhance the use of chemical crosslinking for studies of protein–protein and protein–DNA networks and for structural biology. 相似文献

Protein amyloids have received much attention owing to their correlation with serious diseases and to their promising mechanical and optical properties as future materials. Amyloid formation has been conducted by tuning temperature and chemical conditions, so that its nucleation and the following growth are analyzed as ensemble dynamics. A single spherical assembly of amyloid fibrils of cytochrome c domain‐swapped dimer was successfully generated upon laser trapping. The amyloid fibrillar structure was confirmed by fluorescence characterization and electron microscopy. The prepared spheres were further manipulated individually in solution to fabricate a three‐dimensional microstructure and a line pattern. Amyloid formation dynamics and amyloid‐based microstructure fabrication are demonstrated based on direct observation of a single spherical assembly, which foresees a new approach in amyloid studies. 相似文献

Catenanes are intriguing molecular architectures with unique properties. Herein, we report the cellular synthesis of protein catenanes containing folded structural domains, aided by synergy between p53 dimerization and SpyTag/SpyCatcher chemistry. Concatenation of green fluorescent protein (GFP) was shown to increase chemical stability without disrupting the fluorescence properties, and concatenated dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) exhibited a melting temperature around 4 °C higher and catalytic activity around 27 % higher than the wild‐type DHFR and the cyclic/linear controls. Catenation also confers considerable proteolytic resistance on DHFR. The results suggest that catenation could enhance both the stability and activity of folded proteins, thus making topology engineering an attractive approach for tailoring protein properties without varying their native sequences. 相似文献

Glutamine‐binding protein (GlnBP) displays an apo, “open” and a holo, “closed” crystal form, mutually related by a rigid‐body reorientation of its domains. A fundamental question about such large‐scale conformational transitions, whether the closed state exists in the absence of ligand, is controversial in the case of GlnBP. NMR observations have indicated no evidence of the closed form, whereas experimentally validated computations have suggested a remarkable ca. 40 % population. Herein, a paramagnetic NMR strategy designed to detect the putative apo‐closed species shows that a major population of the latter is highly improbable. Further, NMR residual dipolar couplings collected under three anisotropic conditions do not reveal differential domain alignment and establish that the average solution conformation is satisfied by the apo‐open crystal structure. Our results indicate that the computational prediction of large‐scale interdomain motions is not trivial and may lead to erroneous conclusions without proper experimental validation. 相似文献
