NMR resonance assignments of human Atg3 in aqueous solution and bicelles.

ABSTRACT: Human Atg3 (hAtg3) is an E2-like enzyme that catalyzes the conjugation of LC3 family proteins to phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) lipids in the autophagosomal membrane during autophagy. The reaction product, LC3-PE, acts as a marker for autophagic cargo and is required for the effective construction of functional autophagosomes. However, the structural and molecular basis of this conjugation reaction remains elusive, at least in part, because of the absence of lipid bilayers in structural studies conducted to date. Here, we report a sequential resonance assignment for an hAtg3 construct both in aqueous solution and in bicelles. hAtg3 has 314 residues, and our construct lacks the unstructured region from residues 90 to 190. Our results demonstrate a structural rearrangement of hAtg3 N-terminus when it interacts with membranes.

NMR resonance assignments of RNase P protein from Thermotoga maritima.

Project description:Ribonuclase P (RNase P) is an essential metallo-endonuclease that catalyzes 5' precursor-tRNA (ptRNA) processing and exists as an RNA-based enzyme in bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. In bacteria, a large catalytic RNA and a small protein component assemble to recognize and accurately cleave ptRNA and tRNA-like molecular scaffolds. Substrate recognition of ptRNA by bacterial RNase P requires RNA-RNA shape complementarity, intermolecular base pairing, and a dynamic protein-ptRNA binding interface. To gain insight into the binding specificity and dynamics of the bacterial protein-ptRNA interface, we report the backbone and side chain 1H, 13C, and 15N resonance assignments of the hyperthermophilic Thermatoga maritima RNase P protein in solution at 318 K. Our data confirm the formation of a stable RNA recognition motif (RRM) with intrinsic heterogeneity at both the N- and C-terminus of the protein, consistent with available structural information. Comprehensive resonance assignments of the bacterial RNase P protein serve as an important first step in understanding how coupled RNA binding and protein-RNA conformational changes give rise to ribonucleoprotein function.

Optimizing nanodiscs and bicelles for solution NMR studies of two β-barrel membrane proteins.

Project description:Solution NMR spectroscopy has become a robust method to determine structures and explore the dynamics of integral membrane proteins. The vast majority of previous studies on membrane proteins by solution NMR have been conducted in lipid micelles. Contrary to the lipids that form a lipid bilayer in biological membranes, micellar lipids typically contain only a single hydrocarbon chain or two chains that are too short to form a bilayer. Therefore, there is a need to explore alternative more bilayer-like media to mimic the natural environment of membrane proteins. Lipid bicelles and lipid nanodiscs have emerged as two alternative membrane mimetics that are compatible with solution NMR spectroscopy. Here, we have conducted a comprehensive comparison of the physical and spectroscopic behavior of two outer membrane proteins from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, OprG and OprH, in lipid micelles, bicelles, and nanodiscs of five different sizes. Bicelles stabilized with a fraction of negatively charged lipids yielded spectra of almost comparable quality as in the best micellar solutions and the secondary structures were found to be almost indistinguishable in the two environments. Of the five nanodiscs tested, nanodiscs assembled from MSP1D1ΔH5 performed the best with both proteins in terms of sample stability and spectral resolution. Even in these optimal nanodiscs some broad signals from the membrane embedded barrel were severely overlapped with sharp signals from the flexible loops making their assignments difficult. A mutant OprH that had two of the flexible loops truncated yielded very promising spectra for further structural and dynamical analysis in MSP1D1ΔH5 nanodiscs.

Backbone-independent NMR resonance assignments of methyl probes in large proteins.

Project description:Methyl-specific isotope labeling is a powerful tool to study the structure, dynamics and interactions of large proteins and protein complexes by solution-state NMR. However, widespread applications of this methodology have been limited by challenges in obtaining confident resonance assignments. Here, we present Methyl Assignments Using Satisfiability (MAUS), leveraging Nuclear Overhauser Effect cross-peak data, peak residue type classification and a known 3D structure or structural model to provide robust resonance assignments consistent with all the experimental inputs. Using data recorded for targets with known assignments in the 10-45 kDa size range, MAUS outperforms existing methods by up to 25,000 times in speed while maintaining 100% accuracy. We derive de novo assignments for multiple Cas9 nuclease domains, demonstrating that the methyl resonances of multi-domain proteins can be assigned accurately in a matter of days, while reducing biases introduced by manual pre-processing of the raw NOE data. MAUS is available through an online web-server.

NMR resonance assignments of the major apple allergen Mal d 1.

Project description:The major apple allergen Mal d 1 is the predominant cause of apple (Malus domestica) allergies in large parts of Europe and Northern America. Allergic reactions against this 17.5 kDa protein are the consequence of initial sensitization to the structurally homologous major allergen from birch pollen, Bet v 1. Consumption of apples can subsequently provoke immunologic cross-reactivity of Bet v 1-specific antibodies with Mal d 1 and trigger severe oral allergic syndroms, affecting more than 70 % of all individuals that are sensitized to birch pollen. While the accumulated immunological data suggest that Mal d 1 has a three-dimensional fold that is similar to Bet v 1, experimental structural data for this protein are not available to date. In a first step towards structural characterization of Mal d 1, backbone and side chain (1)H, (13)C and (15)N chemical shifts of the isoform Mal d 1.0101 were assigned. The NMR-chemical shift data show that this protein is composed of seven β-strands and three α-helices, which is in accordance with the reported secondary structure of the major birch pollen allergen, indicating that Mal d 1 and Bet v 1 indeed have similar three-dimensional folds. The next stage in the characterization of Mal d 1 will be to utilize these resonance assignments in solving the solution structure of this protein.

Backbone and ILV side-chain NMR resonance assignments of the catalytic domain of human deubiquitinating enzyme USP7.

Project description:Ubiquitin specific protease 7 (USP7) is a deubiquitinating enzyme, which removes ubiquitin tag from numerous protein substrates involved in diverse cellular processes such as cell cycle regulation, apoptosis and DNA damage response. USP7 affects stability, interaction network and cellular localization of its cellular and viral substrates by controlling their ubiquitination status. The large 41 kDa catalytic domain of USP7 harbors the active site of the enzyme. Here we present a nearly complete (93%) NMR resonance assignment of isoleucine, leucine and valine (ILV) side-chains of the USP7 catalytic domain along with a refined nearly complete (93%) assignment of its backbone resonances. The reported ILV methyl group assignment will facilitate further NMR investigations of structure, interactions and conformational dynamics of the USP7 enzyme.

NMR resonance assignments of the pathogenesis-related peach allergen Pru p 1.0101.

Project description:In Europe, Northern America, and China a large number of individuals are suffering from peach (Prunus persica) allergy caused by the protein Pru p 1. Immunologic reactions against this 17.5 kDa protein result from initial sensitization to the birch (Betula verrucosa) pollen allergen Bet v 1 and subsequent immunologic cross-reactivity of Bet v 1 specific antibodies. Allergic symptoms typically include severe itching, scratching of the throat, and rhino conjunctivitis. So far, experimental structural data for the peach allergen Pru p 1 are not available. In a first step towards the elucidation of the structure of this protein we assigned backbone and side chain 1H, 13C, and 15N chemical shifts of the naturally occurring isoform Pru p 1.0101 by solution NMR spectroscopy. Our chemical shift data indicate that this protein fold consists of seven β-strands separated by two short α-helices and a long C-terminal α-helix, which is in accordance with the reported crystal structure of Bet v 1. Our data provide the basis for determining the three-dimensional solution structure of this protein and to characterize its immunologic cross-reactivity on a structural basis.

NMR resonance assignments of the EVH1 domain of neurofibromin's recruitment factor Spred1.

Project description:Neurofibromin and Sprouty-related EVH1 domain-containing protein 1 (Spred1) both act as negative regulators of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway and are associated with the rare diseases Neurofibromatosis type 1 and Legius syndrome, respectively. Spred1 recruits the major GTPase activating protein (GAP) neurofibromin from the cytosol to the membrane in order to inactivate the small G protein Ras. These functions are dependent on the N-terminal EVH1 domain and the C-terminal Sprouty domain of Spred1 whereas the former specifically recognizes the GAP related domain of neurofibromin and the latter is responsible for membrane targeting. Within the GAP domain, Spred1 binding depends on the GAPex portion which is dispensable for Ras inactivation. In a first step towards the characterization of the Neurofibromin Spred1 interface in solution we assigned backbone and side chain 1H, 13C, and 15N chemical shifts of the Spred1 derived EVH1 domain. Our chemical shift data analysis indicate seven consecutive ?-strands followed by a C-terminal ?-helix which is in agreement with the previously reported crystal structure of Spred1(EVH1). Our data provide a framework for further analysis of the function of patient-derived mutations associated with rare diseases.

NMR resonance assignments of the FinO-domain of the RNA chaperone RocC.

Project description:In prokaryotic species, gene expression is commonly regulated by small, non-coding RNAs (sRNAs). In the gram-negative bacterium Legionella pneumophila, the regulatory, trans-acting sRNA molecule RocR base pairs with a complementary sequence in the 5'-untranslated region of mRNAs encoding for proteins in the bacterial DNA uptake system, thereby controlling natural competence. Sense-antisense duplexing of RocR with targeted mRNAs is mediated by the recently described RNA chaperone RocC. RocC contains a 12 kDa FinO-domain, which acts as sRNA binding platform, along with an extended C-terminal segment that is predicted to be mostly disordered but appears to be required for repression of bacterial competence. In this work we assigned backbone and side chain 1H, 13C, and 15N chemical shifts of RocC's FinO-domain by solution NMR spectroscopy. The chemical shift data for this protein indicate a mixed α/β fold that is reminiscent of FinO from Escherichia coli. Our NMR resonance assignments provide the basis for a comprehensive analysis of RocC's chaperoning mechanism on a structural level.

ILV methyl NMR resonance assignments of the 81 kDa E. coli β-clamp.

Project description:The ring-shaped E. coli β-clamp protein is an 81 kDa head-to-tail homodimer, which serves as a processivity factor anchoring the replicative polymerase to DNA, thereby increasing replication processivity and speed. In addition, it facilitates numerous protein transactions that take place on DNA during replication, repair, and damage response. We used a structure-based approach to obtain nearly complete Ile, Leu and Val side-chain methyl NMR resonance assignments of the wild-type β-clamp and its stabilized T45R/S107R variant based on site directed mutagenesis and the analysis of methyl-methyl NOESY data. The obtained assignments will facilitate future studies of the β-clamp interactions and dynamics.

NMR resonance assignments of thrombin reveal the conformational and dynamic effects of ligation.

Project description:The serine protease thrombin is generated from its zymogen prothrombin at the end of the coagulation cascade. Thrombin functions as the effector enzyme of blood clotting by cleaving several procoagulant targets, but also plays a key role in attenuating the hemostatic response by activating protein C. These activities all depend on the engagement of exosites on thrombin, either through direct interaction with a substrate, as with fibrinogen, or by binding to cofactors such as thrombomodulin. How thrombin specificity is controlled is of central importance to understanding normal hemostasis and how dysregulation causes bleeding or thrombosis. The binding of ligands to thrombin via exosite I and the coordination of Na(+) have been associated with changes in thrombin conformation and activity. This phenomenon has become known as thrombin allostery, although direct evidence of conformational change, identification of the regions involved, and the functional consequences remain unclear. Here we investigate the conformational and dynamic effects of thrombin ligation at the active site, exosite I and the Na(+)-binding site in solution, using modern multidimensional NMR techniques. We obtained full resonance assignments for thrombin in seven differently liganded states, including fully unliganded apo thrombin, and have created a detailed map of residues that change environment, conformation, or dynamic state in response to each relevant single or multiple ligation event. These studies reveal that apo thrombin exists in a highly dynamic zymogen-like state, and relies on ligation to achieve a fully active conformation. Conformational plasticity confers upon thrombin the ability to be at once selective and promiscuous.
