Measurement of 13Cα-13CO cross-relaxation rates in 15N-/13C-labelled proteins

Summary Internal motions play an important role in the biological function of proteins and NMR relaxation studies may characterize them over a wide range of frequencies. An experimental pulse scheme is proposed for the measurement of the ¹³CO-¹³C cross-relaxation rate. For sensitivity reasons, this measurement is performed in an indirect manner through several coherence transfer steps, which should thus be calibrated independently. Contributions of other relaxation pathways can be eliminated by the determination of the initial slope of the buildup curve. The cross-relaxation rates have been determined on a ¹⁵N-/¹³C-labelled 116-residue protein and the significant variations along the sequence have been interpreted as evidence of an increased amount of fast local motion.

IL-13 antibodies influence IL-13 clearance in humans by modulating scavenger activity of IL-13Rα2

Human studies using Abs to two different, nonoverlapping epitopes of IL-13 suggested that epitope specificity can have a clinically significant impact on clearance of IL-13. We propose that Ab modulation of IL-13 interaction with IL-13Rα2 underlies this effect. Two Abs were administered to healthy subjects and mild asthmatics in separate dose-ranging studies and allergen-challenge studies. IMA-638 allows IL-13 interaction with IL-13Rα1 or IL-13Rα2 but blocks recruitment of IL-4Rα to the IL-13/IL-13Rα1 complex, whereas IMA-026 competes with IL-13 interaction with IL-13Rα1 and IL-13Rα2. We found ～10-fold higher circulating titer of captured IL-13 in subjects treated with IMA-026 compared with those administered IMA-638. To understand how this difference could be related to epitope, we asked whether either Ab affects IL-13 internalization through cell surface IL-13Rα2. Humans inducibly express cell surface IL-13Rα2 but lack the soluble form that regulates IL-13 responses in mice. Cells with high IL-13Rα2 expression rapidly and efficiently depleted extracellular IL-13, and this activity persisted in the presence of IMA-638 but not IMA-026. The potency and efficiency of this clearance pathway suggest that cell surface IL-13Rα2 acts as a scavenger for IL-13. These findings could have important implications for the design and characterization of IL-13 antagonists.     

Study of protein dynamics in solution by measurement of 13Cα-13CO NOE and 13CO longitudinal relaxation

Summary ¹³C-¹³CO homonuclear NOE and ¹³CO T₁ relaxation were measured for a 20 kDa protein using tripleresonance pulse sequences. The experiments were sufficiently sensitive to obtain statistically significant differences in relaxation parameters over the molecule. The ¹³C-¹³CO cross-relaxation rate, obtained from these data, is directly proportional to an order parameter describing local motion and it is largely independent of the local correlation time. It is therefore a relatively straightforward observable for the identification of local dynamics.

TROSY-based HNCO pulse sequences for the measurement of 1HN-15N, 15N-13CO, 1HN-13CO, 13CO-13Cα and 1HN-13Cα dipolar couplings in 15N, 13C, 2H-labeled proteins

HNCO-based 3D pulse schemes are presented for measuring ¹HN-¹⁵N,¹⁵N-¹³CO, ¹HN-¹³CO,¹³CO-¹³C and ¹HN-¹³C dipolar couplings in ¹⁵N,¹³C,²-labeled proteins. The experiments are based on recently developed TROSY methodology for improving spectral resolution and sensitivity. Data sets recorded on a complex of Val, Leu, Ile (1 only) methyl protonated ¹⁵N,¹³C,²H-labeled maltose binding protein and -cyclodextrin as well as ¹⁵N,¹³C,²H-labeled human carbonic anhydrase II demonstrate that precise dipolar couplings can be obtained on proteins in the 30–40 kDa molecular weight range. These couplings will serve as powerful restraints for obtaining global folds of highly deuterated proteins.

Determination of 13Cα relaxation times in uniformly 13C/15N-enriched proteins

Summary Relaxation times of ¹³C carbons of uniformly ¹³C/¹⁵N-enriched probes have been investigated. The relaxation behaviour was analyzed in terms of a multispin system. Pulse sequences for the determination of T₁, T₂ and the heteronuclear NOE of ¹³C in uniformly ¹³C/¹⁵N-enriched ribonuclease T1 are presented. The experiments performed in order to obtain T₁ and the heteronuclear NOE were similar to those of the corresponding ¹⁵N experiments published previously. The determination of T₂ for the C-carbon in a completely labeled protein is more complicated, since the magnetization transfer during the T₂ evolution period owing to the scalar coupling of C–C must be suppressed. Various different pulse sequences for the T₂ evolution period were simulated in order to optimize the bandwidth for which reliable T₂ relaxation times can be obtained. A proof for the quality of these pulse sequences is given by fitting the intensity decay of individual ¹H–¹³C cross peaks, in a series of (¹H, ¹³C)-ct-HSQC spectra with a modified CPMG sequence as well as a T_1p sequence for the transverse relaxation time, to a single exponential using a simplex algorithm.     

Selective diagonal-free 13C,13C-edited aliphatic–aromatic NOESY experiment with non-uniform sampling

A band-selective aromatic–aliphatic C,C-edited four-dimensional NOESY experiment is proposed here. Its key advantage is the absence of auto-correlation signals which makes it very attractive for joint use with non-uniform sampling. It is demonstrated here that the sensitivity of the experiment is not significantly affected by utilization of selective pulses (for either aromatic-13C or aliphatic-13C spins). The method was applied to the sample of E32Q mutant of human S100A1 protein, a homodimer of total molecular mass ~20 kDa. High-resolution 4D spectra were obtained from ~1.5 % of sampling points required conventionally. It is shown that superior resolution facilitates unambiguous assignment of observed aliphatic–aromatic cross-peaks. Additionally, the addition of aliphatic-13C dimension enables to resolve peaks with degenerated aliphatic ¹H chemical shifts. All observed cross-peaks were validated against previously determined 3D structure of E32Q mutant of S100A1 protein (PDB 2LHL). The increased reliability of structural constraints obtained from the proposed high-resolution 4D 13C(ali),13C(aro)-edited NOESY can be exploited in the automated protocols of structure determination of proteins.
