Enhancing ³¹P NMR relaxation rates with a kinetically inert gadolinium complex.

ABSTRACT: The kinetically stable heptadentate gadolinium complex Gd.pDO3A (1.Gd) demonstrates significant 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation enhancement of biologically relevant phosphate species; adenosine triphosphate (ATP), phosphocreatine (PCr) and inorganic phosphate. Gd.pDO3A (1.Gd) binds these species in fast exchange, enabling the relaxation of the bulk phosphate species in solution. This gives rise to 31P relaxation enhancements up to 250-fold higher than those observed for 31P relaxation enhancements with the commercial MRI contrast agent Gd.DOTA (DOTAREM), 2. Gd.pDO3A-like complexes may have potential applications as 31P magnetic resonance contrast agents, since shortening the T1 relaxation time of phosphate species would reduce the time needed to acquire 31P-MR spectra.

Unraveling Water-Mediated 31P Relaxation in Bone Mineral.

Project description:Bone is a dynamic tissue composed of organic proteins (mainly type I collagen), inorganic components (hydroxyapatite), lipids, and water that undergoes a continuous rebuilding process over the lifespan of human beings. Bone mineral is mainly composed of a crystalline apatitic core surrounded by an amorphous surface layer. The supramolecular arrangement of different constituents gives rise to its unique mechanical properties, which become altered in various bone-related disease conditions. Many of the interactions among the different components are poorly understood. Recently, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) has become a popular spectroscopic tool for studying bone. In this article, we present a study probing the interaction of water molecules with amorphous and crystalline parts of the bone mineral through 31P ssNMR relaxation parameters (T 1 and T 2) and dynamics (correlation time). The method was developed to selectively measure the 31P NMR relaxation parameters and dynamics of the crystalline apatitic core and the amorphous surface layer of the bone mineral. The measured 31P correlation times (in the range of 10-6-10-7 s) indicated the different dynamic behaviors of both the mineral components. Additionally, we observed that dehydration affected the apatitic core region more significantly, while H-D exchange showed changes in the amorphous surface layer to a greater extent. Overall, the present work provides a significant understanding of the relaxation and dynamics of bone mineral components inside the bone matrix.

Kinetically Inert Macrocyclic Europium(III) Receptors for Phosphate.

Project description:The significant role that phosphate plays in environmental water pollution and biomedical conditions such as hyperphosphatemia highlights the need to develop robust receptors that can sequester the anion effectively and selectively from complex aqueous media. Toward that goal, four macrocyclic tris-bidentate 1,2-hydroxypyridonate (HOPO) europium(III) complexes containing either a cyclen, cyclam, TACN, or TACD ligand cap were synthesized and evaluated as phosphate receptors. The solubility of EuIII-TACD-HOPO in water was insufficient for luminescent studies. Whereas EuIII-cyclen-HOPO is eight coordinate with two inner-sphere water molecules, both EuIII-cyclam-HOPO and EuIII-TACN-HOPO are nine coordinate with three inner-sphere water molecules, suggesting that the two coordination states are very close in energy. As observed previously with linear analogues of tripodal HOPO complexes, there is no relationship between the number of inner-sphere water molecules and the affinity of the complex for phosphate. Whereas all three complexes do bind phosphate, EuIII-cyclen-HOPO has the highest affinity for phosphate with the anion displacing both of its inner-sphere water molecules. On the other hand, only one or two of the three inner-sphere water molecules of EuIII-TACN-HOPO and EuIII-cyclam-HOPO are displaced by phosphate, respectively. All three complexes are highly selective for phosphate over other anions, including arsenate. All three complexes are highly stable. EuIII-cyclen-HOPO and, to a lesser extent, EuIII-TACN-HOPO are more kinetically inert than the linear EuIII-Ser-HOPO. EuIII-cyclam-HOPO, on the other hand, is not. This study highlights the significant effect that minor changes in the ligand cap can have on both the ligand exchange rate and affinity for phosphate of tripodal 1,2-dihydroxypyridinonate complexes.

Gadolinium-Based NMR Spin Relaxation Measurements of Near-Surface Electrostatic Potentials of Biomolecules.

Project description:NMR spectroscopy is an important tool for the measurement of the electrostatic properties of biomolecules. To this point, paramagnetic relaxation enhancements (PREs) of 1H nuclei arising from nitroxide cosolutes in biomolecular solutions have been used to measure effective near-surface electrostatic potentials (ϕENS) of proteins and nucleic acids. Here, we present a gadolinium (Gd)-based NMR method, exploiting Gd chelates with different net charges, for measuring ϕENS values and demonstrate its utility through applications to a number of biomolecular systems. The use of Gd-based cosolutes offers several advantages over nitroxides for ϕENS measurements. First, unlike nitroxide compounds, Gd chelates enable electrostatic potential measurements on oxidation-sensitive proteins that require reducing agents. Second, the large electron spin quantum number of Gd (7/2) results in notably larger PREs for Gd chelates when used at the same concentrations as nitroxide radicals. Thus, it is possible to measure ϕENS values exclusively from + and - charged compounds even for highly charged biomolecules, avoiding the use of neutral cosolutes that, as we further establish here, limits the accuracy of the measured electrostatic potentials. In addition, the smaller concentrations of cosolutes required minimize potential binding to sites on macromolecules. Fourth, the closer proximity of the paramagnetic center and charged groups within Gd chelates, in comparison to the corresponding nitroxide compounds, enables more accurate predictions of ϕENS potentials for cross-validation of the experimental results. The Gd-based method described here, thus, broadens the applicability of studies of biomolecular electrostatics using solution NMR spectroscopy.

19F NMR relaxation studies of fluorosubstituted tryptophans.

Project description:We present 19F longitudinal and transverse relaxation studies for four differently fluorosubstituted L-tryptophans, which carry single F atoms in the indole ring, both in the context of the free amino acid and when located in the cyclophilin A protein. For the free 4F-, 5F-, 6F-, 7F-L-Trp, satisfactory agreement between experimentally measured and calculated relaxation rates was obtained, suggesting that the parameters used for calculating the rates for the indole frame are sufficiently accurate. We also measured and calculated relaxation rates for four differently 19F-tryptophan labeled cyclophilin A proteins, transferring the parameters from the free amino acid to the protein-bound moiety. Our results suggest that 19F relaxation data of the large and rigid indole ring in Trp are only moderately affected by protein motions and provide critical reference points for evaluating fluorine NMR relaxation in the future, especially in fluorotryptophan labeled proteins.

Gadolinium-Based Paramagnetic Relaxation Enhancement Agent Enhances Sensitivity for NUS Multidimensional NMR-Based Metabolomics.

Project description:Gadolinium is a paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) agent that accelerates the relaxation of metabolite nuclei. In this study, we noted the ability of gadolinium to improve the sensitivity of two-dimensional, non-uniform sampled NMR spectral data collected from metabolomics samples. In time-equivalent experiments, the addition of gadolinium increased the mean signal intensity measurement and the signal-to-noise ratio for metabolite resonances in both standard and plasma samples. Gadolinium led to highly linear intensity measurements that correlated with metabolite concentrations. In the presence of gadolinium, we were able to detect a broad array of metabolites with a lower limit of detection and quantification in the low micromolar range. We also observed an increase in the repeatability of intensity measurements upon the addition of gadolinium. The results of this study suggest that the addition of a gadolinium-based PRE agent to metabolite samples can improve NMR-based metabolomics.

Effect of Magnetic Anisotropy on the 1H NMR Paramagnetic Shifts and Relaxation Rates of Small Dysprosium(III) Complexes.

Project description:We present a detailed analysis of the 1H NMR chemical shifts and transverse relaxation rates of three small Dy(III) complexes having different symmetries (C3, D2 or C2). The complexes show sizeable emission in the visible region due to 4F9/2 → 6HJ transitions (J = 15/2 to 11/2). Additionally, NIR emission is observed at ca. 850 (4F9/2 → 6H7/2), 930 (4F9/2 → 6H5/2), 1010 (4F9/2 → 6F9/2), and 1175 nm (4F9/2 → 6F7/2). Emission quantum yields of 1-2% were determined in aqueous solutions. The emission lifetimes indicate that no water molecules are present in the inner coordination sphere of Dy(III), which in the case of [Dy(CB-TE2PA)]+ was confirmed through the X-ray crystal structure. The 1H NMR paramagnetic shifts induced by Dy(III) were found to be dominated by the pseudocontact mechanism, though, for some protons, contact shifts are not negligible. The analysis of the pseudocontact shifts provided the magnetic susceptibility tensors of the three complexes, which were also investigated using CASSCF calculations. The transverse 1H relaxation data follow a good linear correlation with 1/r6, where r is the distance between the Dy(III) ion and the observed proton. This indicates that magnetic anisotropy is not significantly affecting the relaxation of 1H nuclei in the family of complexes investigated here.

Connecting Longitudinal and Transverse Relaxation Rates in Live-Cell NMR.

Project description:In the cytosolic environment, protein crowding and Brownian motions result in numerous transient encounters. Each such encounter event increases the apparent size of the interacting molecules, leading to slower rotational tumbling. The extent of transient protein complexes formed in live cells can conveniently be quantified by an apparent viscosity, based on NMR-detected spin-relaxation measurements, that is, the longitudinal (T1) and transverse (T2) relaxation. From combined analysis of three different proteins and surface mutations thereof, we find that T2 implies significantly higher apparent viscosity than T1. At first sight, the effect on T1 and T2 seems thus nonunifiable, consistent with previous reports on other proteins. We show here that the T1 and T2 deviation is actually not a inconsistency but an expected feature of a system with fast exchange between free monomers and transient complexes. In this case, the deviation is basically reconciled by a model with fast exchange between the free-tumbling reporter protein and a transient complex with a uniform 143 kDa partner. The analysis is then taken one step further by accounting for the fact that the cytosolic content is by no means uniform but comprises a wide range of molecular sizes. Integrating over the complete size distribution of the cytosolic interaction ensemble enables us to predict both T1 and T2 from a single binding model. The result yields a bound population for each protein variant and provides a quantification of the transient interactions. We finally extend the approach to obtain a correction term for the shape of a database-derived mass distribution of the interactome in the mammalian cytosol, in good accord with the existing data of the cellular composition.

Solid-state NMR (31)P paramagnetic relaxation enhancement membrane protein immersion depth measurements.

Project description:Paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) is a widely used approach for measuring long-range distance constraints in biomolecular solution NMR spectroscopy. In this paper, we show that (31)P PRE solid-state NMR spectroscopy can be utilized to determine the immersion depth of spin-labeled membrane peptides and proteins. Changes in the (31)P NMR PRE times coupled with modeling studies can be used to describe the spin-label position/amino acid within the lipid bilayer and the corresponding helical tilt. This method provides valuable insight on protein-lipid interactions and membrane protein structural topology. Solid-state (31)P NMR data on the 23 amino acid α-helical nicotinic acetylcholine receptor nAChR M2δ transmembrane domain model peptide followed predicted behavior of (31)P PRE rates of the phospholipid headgroup as the spin-label moves from the membrane surface toward the center of the membrane. Residue 11 showed the smallest changes in (31)P PRE (center of the membrane), while residue 22 shows the largest (31)P PRE change (near the membrane surface), when compared to the diamagnetic control M2δ sample. This PRE SS-NMR technique can be used as a molecular ruler to measure membrane immersion depth.
