Coupling two copies of an iminodiacetic acid–cysteine hybrid ligand to a pair of cysteine residues positioned in an i, i+4 arrangement within a protein α‐helix leads to generation of an EDTA‐like metal ion‐binding motif. Rigid binding of a CoII ion by this motif produces pseudo‐contact shifts suitable for paramagnetic NMR structural studies. 相似文献

Paramagnetic effects from lanthanide ions present powerful tools for protein studies by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy provided that the lanthanide can be site‐specifically and rigidly attached to the protein. A new, particularly small and rigid lanthanide‐binding tag, 3‐mercapto‐2,6‐pyridinedicarboxylic acid (3MDPA), was synthesized and attached to two different proteins via a disulfide bond. The complexes of the N‐terminal domain of the E. coli arginine repressor (ArgN) with seven different paramagnetic lanthanide ions and Co2+ were analyzed in detail by NMR spectroscopy. The magnetic susceptibility anisotropy (Δχ) tensors and metal position were determined from pseudocontact shifts. The 3MDPA tag generated very different Δχ tensor orientations compared to the previously studied 4‐mercaptomethyl‐DPA tag, making it a highly complementary and useful tool for protein NMR studies. 相似文献

Linear polyubiquitin chains regulate diverse signaling proteins, in which the chains adopt various conformations to recognize different target proteins. Thus, the structural plasticity of the chains plays an important role in controlling the binding events. Herein, paramagnetic NMR spectroscopy is employed to explore the conformational space sampled by linear diubiquitin, a minimal unit of linear polyubiquitin, in its free state. Rigorous analysis of the data suggests that, regarding the relative positions of the ubiquitin units, particular regions of conformational space are preferentially sampled by the molecule. By combining these results with further data collected for charge-reversal derivatives of linear diubiquitin, structural insights into the factors underlying the binding events of linear diubiquitin are obtained. 相似文献

Cyclic pentapeptides (e.g. Ac‐(cyclo‐1,5)‐[KAXAD]‐NH2; X=Ala, 1 ; Arg, 2 ) in water adopt one α‐helical turn defined by three hydrogen bonds. NMR structure analysis reveals a slight distortion from α‐helicity at the C‐terminal aspartate caused by torsional restraints imposed by the K(i)–D(i+4) lactam bridge. To investigate this effect on helix nucleation, the more water‐soluble 2 was appended to N‐, C‐, or both termini of a palindromic peptide ARAARAARA (≤5 % helicity), resulting in 67, 92, or 100 % relative α‐helicity, as calculated from CD spectra. From the C‐terminus of peptides, 2 can nucleate at least six α‐helical turns. From the N‐terminus, imperfect alignment of the Asp5 backbone amide in 2 reduces helix nucleation, but is corrected by a second unit of 2 separated by 0–9 residues from the first. These cyclic peptides are extremely versatile helix nucleators that can be placed anywhere in 5–25 residue peptides, which correspond to most helix lengths in protein–protein interactions. 相似文献

Residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) have recently become increasingly important in organic structure determination due to their unique information content. One main limitation for the use of RDCs in organic compounds, however, is that the compound in question needs to be oriented with respect to the magnetic field in order to measure RDCs. So far, there are very few possibilities for modulating the induced degree of orientation. The situation is even worse when chiral orienting media are considered, which could allow absolute configuration determination in the future. We have conducted a systematic investigation into modulating the orientation induced by one chiral orienting medium, namely organic solutions of PBLG (poly‐γ‐benzyl‐L ‐glutamate), as a function of its molecular weight and the organic co‐solvent used, and have obtained significant insights into factors that influence the order induced. With increasing molecular weight of the polypeptide the orientation of the solutes decreases, leading to well‐resolved spectra with improved line shapes. This can be attributed exclusively to the fact that the critical concentration of the liquid‐crystalline phase decreases with increasing molecular weight (pure dilution effect). Any influence of increasing flexibility on the orientation can be ruled out. 相似文献

High‐spin FeII–alkyl complexes with bis(pyridylimino)isoindolato ligands were synthesized and their paramagnetic 1H and 13C NMR spectra were analyzed comprehensively. The experimental 13C—1H coupling values are temperature (T?1)‐ as well as magnetic‐field (B2)‐dependent and deviate considerably from typical scalar 1JCH couplings constants. This deviation is attributed to residual dipolar couplings (RDCs), which arise from partial alignment of the complexes in the presence of a strong magnetic field. The analysis of the experimental RDCs allows an unambiguous assignment of all 13C NMR resonances and, additionally, a structural refinement of the conformation of the complexes in solution. Moreover the RDCs can be used for the analysis of the alignment tensor and hence the tensor of the anisotropy of the magnetic susceptibility. 相似文献

Heterodinuclear metalloenzymes are an important class of metalloproteins, but determining the location of the different metal ions can be difficult. Herein we present a new NMR spectroscopy method that uses pseudocontact shifts (PCS) to achieve this without assumptions about the coordinating ligands. The approach is illustrated with the dinuclear [FeZn] complex of IMP‐1, which is a prototypical metallo‐β‐lactamase (MβL) that confers resistance to β‐lactam antibiotics. Results from single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction were compromised by degradation during crystallization. With [GaZn]‐IMP‐1 as diamagnetic reference, the PCSs unambiguously identified the iron binding site in fresh samples of [FeZn]‐IMP‐1, even though the two metal centers are less than 3.8 Å apart and the iron is high‐spin Fe3+, which produces only small PCSs. [FeZn]‐MβLs may be important drug targets, as [FeZn]‐IMP‐1 is enzymatically active and readily produced in the presence of small amounts of Fe3+. 相似文献

To bend about : The conformations of three phenyl‐C‐galactosides in solution were evaluated by using theoretical calculations and NMR spectroscopic studies. The α‐CF2 derivative (see scheme) showed significant flexibility of the pyranose ring and around the pseudoanomeric center, whereas the other two analogues more closely resemble the natural galactosides. Regardless, all three compounds bind to a plant lectin.

In this study, the functional interaction of HPLW peptide with VEGFR2 (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 2) was determined by using fast 15N‐edited NMR spectroscopic experiments. To this aim, 15N uniformly labelled HPLW has been added to Porcine Aortic Endothelial Cells. The acquisition of isotope‐edited NMR spectroscopic experiments, including 15N relaxation measurements, allowed a precise characterization of the in‐cell HPLW epitope recognized by VEGFR2. 相似文献

The misfolding and aggregation of the protein α‐synuclein (α‐syn), which results in the formation of amyloid fibrils, is involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease and other synucleinopathies. The emergence of amyloid toxicity is associated with the formation of partially folded aggregation intermediates. Here, we engineered a class of binding proteins termed β‐wrapins (β‐wrap proteins) with affinity for α‐synuclein (α‐syn). The NMR structure of an α‐syn:β‐wrapin complex reveals a β‐hairpin of α‐syn comprising the sequence region α‐syn(37–54). The β‐wrapin inhibits α‐syn aggregation and toxicity at substoichiometric concentrations, demonstrating that it interferes with the nucleation of aggregation. 相似文献

G‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) exist in conformational equilibrium between active and inactive states, and the former population determines the efficacy of signaling. However, the conformational equilibrium of GPCRs in lipid bilayers is unknown owing to the low sensitivities of their NMR signals. To increase the signal intensities, a deuteration method was developed for GPCRs expressed in an insect cell/baculovirus expression system. The NMR sensitivities of the methionine methyl resonances from the β2‐adrenergic receptor (β2AR) in lipid bilayers of reconstituted high‐density lipoprotein (rHDL) increased by approximately 5‐fold upon deuteration. NMR analyses revealed that the exchange rates for the conformational equilibrium of β2AR in rHDLs were remarkably different from those measured in detergents. The timescales of GPCR signaling, calculated from the exchange rates, are faster than those of receptor tyrosine kinases and thus enable rapid neurotransmission and sensory perception. 相似文献
