alpha-DNA-III. Characterization by high field 1H-NMR, anti-parallel self-recognition and conformation of the unnatural hexadeoxyribonucleotides alpha-[d(CpApTpGpCpG)] and alpha-[d(CpGpCpApTpG)]. Alpha-oligodeoxynucleotides as potential cellular probes for gene control.

High field 2-D-1H-NMR techniques permitted the assignment of all non-exchangeable protons of the unnatural deoxyribonucleotides alpha-[d(CpApTpGpCpG)] and alpha-[d(CpGpCpApTpG)]. 1-D and 2-D NOESY experiments show strong H6H8-H4' dipolar interactions for all nucleotides in both sequences. These data, together with COSY and J-resolved spectra, indicate that these two alpha-oligomers adopt 3'-exo conformations of the sugar moieties in solution with anti conformations of the glycosyl linkages. Both 1H-NMR data, and hypochromocity comparison of alpha-CATGCG and beta-CATGCG, demonstrate a higher degree of base stacking in the case of the alpha-sequence. The UV hyperchromicity at 260 nm, and symmetry considerations in the imino proton NMR experiments reveal antiparallel self-recognition and duplex annealing at positions 1-4 for alpha-[d(CATGCG)] and positions 3-6 for alpha-[d(CGCATG)]. The temperature variation of the imino proton NMR signals suggests that the hydrogen bonding in self-recognition is comparable in strength with that in a beta-DNA duplex, and NOE data are in accord with Watson-Crick rather than Hoogsteen base pairing.     

Assignment of the non-exchangeable proton resonances of d(C-G-C-G-A-A-T-T-C-G-C-G) using two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance methods

A general method of assigning the non-exchangeable protons in the nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of small DNA molecules has been developed based upon two-dimensional autocorrelated (COSY) and nuclear Overhauser (NOESY) spectra in 2H2O solutions. Groups of protons in specific sugars or bases are identified by their scalar couplings (COSY), then connected spatially in a sequential fashion using the Overhauser effect (NOESY). The method appears to be generally applicable to moderate-sized DNA duplexes with structures close to B DNA. The self-complementary DNA sequence d(C-G-C-G-A-A-T-T-C-G-C-G) has been synthesized by the solid-phase phosphite triester technique and studied by this method. Analysis of the COSY spectrum and the NOESY spectrum leads to the unambiguous assignment of all protons in the molecule except the poorly resolved H5' and H5" resonances. The observed NOEs indicate qualitatively that, in solution, the d(C-G-C-G-A-A-T-T-C-G-C-G) helix is right-handed and close to the B DNA form with a structure similar to that determined by crystallography.

Complete assignment of the 500 MHz 1H-NMR spectra of bleomycin A2 in H2O and D2O solution by means of two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy

1H-NMR spectra of bleomycin A2 recorded at 500 MHz in D2O and H2O at 24 degrees C and 3 degrees C were investigated. Resonances of the individual spin systems were identified by using two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (COSY), two-dimensional spin echo correlated spectroscopy (SECSY) and by the application of two-dimensional Nuclear Overhauser Effect spectroscopy (NOESY). Employment of these techniques allowed the assignment of 113 exchangeable and 59 non-exchangeable protons in the 1H NMR spectrum of bleomycin A2. By means of 2D NOE spectroscopy also interresidual connectivities could be observed. Comparison of the NOESY spectra at 3 degrees C and 24 degrees C suggest that at low temperatures the central party of the bleomycin A2 molecule tends to adopt an extended conformation.     

Spatial structure of (1-36)bacterioopsin solubilized in a methanol-chloroform mixture with sodium dodecylsulfate micelles]

Spatial structures of proteolytic segment A (sA) of bacterioopsin of Halobacterium halobium (residues 1-36) solubilized in the mixture of methanol-chloroform (1:1), 0.1 M LiClO4 or in perdeuteriated sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles, were determined by 2D 1H-NMR techniques. Most of the resonances in 1H-NMR spectra of fragment A were assigned using DQF-COSY, TOCSY and NOESY spectra. Deuterium exchange rates for amide protons were measured in series of NOESY spectra. 324 and 400 NOESY cross-peak volumes were measured in NOESY spectra of sA in mixture of organic solvents and SDS micelles, respectively. The sA structure was determined by local structure analysis, distance geometry calculation with program DIANA and systematic search for energetically allowed side chain rotamers consistent with NOESY cross-peak volumes. The structures of sA are similar in both milieus. These structures have the right-handed alpha-helical region from Pro-8 to Met-32 with root mean square deviation (RMSD) of 0.25 A between back bone heavy atoms and fit well with Pro-8 to Met-32 alpha-helical region in electron cryo-microscopy (ECM) model of bacteriorhodopsin [4]. The C-terminal region Gly-33-Asp-36 is disordered in both milieus, while N-terminal region Ala-2-Gly-6 in organic solvents has a fixed structure (RMSD of 0.25 A) stabilized by the Thr-5 NH...O=C Gln-3 and Ile-4 NH...O = C Ala-2 hydrogen bonds. This region of sA in SDS micelles has disordered structure with RMSD of 1.44 A for back bone heavy atoms. Torsion angles chi 1 of sA were unequivocally determined for 72% of side chains in the alpha-helical region and are identical in both milieus.     

Sequential 1H NMR assignments and secondary structure of hen egg white lysozyme in solution

Assignments for 1H NMR resonances of 121 of the 129 residues of hen egg white lysozyme have been obtained by sequence-specific methods. Spin systems were identified with phase-sensitive two-dimensional (2-D) correlated spectroscopy and single and double relayed coherence transfer spectroscopy. For key types of amino acid residues, particularly alanine, threonine, valine, and glycine, complete spin systems were identified. For other residues a less complete definition of the spin system was found to be adequate for the purpose of sequential assignment. Sequence-specific assignments were achieved by phase-sensitive 2-D nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (NOESY). Exploitation of the wide range of hydrogen exchange rates found in lysozyme was a useful approach to overcoming the problem of spectral overlap. The sequential assignment was built up from 21 peptide segments ranging in length from 2 to 13 residues. The NOESY spectra were also used to provide information about the secondary structure of the protein in solution. Three helical regions and two regions of beta-sheet were identified from the NOESY data; these regions are identical with those found in the X-ray structure of hen lysozyme. Slowly exchanging amides are generally correlated with hydrogen bonding identified in the X-ray structure; a number of exceptions to this general trend were, however, found. The results presented in this paper indicate that highly detailed information can be obtained from 2-D NMR spectra of a protein that is significantly larger than those studied previously.     

Complete Assignment of the 500 MHz 1H-NMR Spectra of Bleomycin A2 in H2O and D2O Solution by means of Two-dimensional NMR Spectroscopy

Abstract

¹H-NMR spectra of bleomycin A2 recorded at 500 MHz in D₂O and H₂O at 24°C and 3°C were investigated. Resonances of the individual spin systems were identified by using two-dimensional correlated spectroscopy (COSY), two-dimensional spin echo correlated spectroscopy (SECSY) and by the application of two-dimensional Nuclear Overhauser Effect spectroscopy (NOESY). Employment of these techniques allowed the assignment of 13 exchangeable and 59 non-exchangeable protons in the ¹H NMR spectrum of bleomycin A2. By means of 2D NOE spectroscopy also interresidual connectivities could be observed. Comparison of the NOESY spectra at 3°C and 24°C suggest that at low temperatures the central part of the bleomycin A2 molecule tends to adopt an extended conformation.

Sequential 1H NMR assignments of iron(II) cytochrome c551 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Sequence-specific 1H NMR resonance assignments for all but the C-terminal Lys 82 are reported for iron(II) cytochrome c551 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa at 25 degrees C and pH = 6.8. Spin systems were identified by using TOCSY and DQF-COSY spectra in 2H2O and 1H2O. Sequential assignments were made by using NOESY connectivities between adjacent amide, alpha, and beta protons. Resonances from several amino acids including His 16, Gly 24, Ile 48, and Met 61 experience strong ring-current shifts due to their placement near the heme. All heme protons, including the previously unassigned propionates, have been identified. Preliminary analysis of sequential and medium-range NOEs provides evidence for substantial amounts of helix in the solution structure. Long-range NOEs indicate that the folds in solution and crystal structures are similar. For one aromatic side chain (Tyr 27) that is close to the heme group we found a transition from hindered ring rotation at low temperature to rapid rotation at high temperature.     

Staphylococcal nuclease: sequential assignments and solution structure

Sequential assignments are reported for backbone 15N and 1H of nearly all residues of staphylococcal nuclease (Nase) complexed with thymidine 3',5'-diphosphate and Ca2+. Because of the relatively large size of the Nase ternary complex, Mr 18K, the crucial element of our assignment strategy was the use of isotope-edited two-dimensional NMR spectra, particularly 15N-edited nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (NOESY), 15N-edited J-correlated spectroscopy (COSY), and 1H/15N or 1H/13C heteronuclear multiple quantum shift correlation spectroscopy (HMQC). These experiments, together with the more conventional NOESY, COSY, and homonuclear Hartmann-Hahn spectra of natural abundance or deuteriated samples, yielded backbone assignments of 127 of the 136 residues in the structured part of the protein. Using the NOESY data, we identified three helical domains and several beta-sheets which were in close correspondence with secondary structure identified in the crystal structure. Moreover, many long-range NOESY connectivities were identified that were in agreement with distances derived from the crystal structure. The region of the sequence in the neighborhood of residue 50 appears to be more flexible and disordered in solution than in the crystal. Very slowly exchanging amide protons are those found to be hydrogen bonded in the crystal structure; however, even hydrogen-bonded amides located within similar types of regular secondary structures, e.g., alpha-helices, exchange with greatly different rates.     

Assignment of imidazole resonances from two-dimensional proton NMR spectra of bovine Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase. Evidence for similar active site conformation in the oxidized and reduced enzyme

Two-dimensional 1H-NMR spectra were carried out on bovine Cu(I),Zn superoxide dismutase. The ring protons of the single tyrosine and of the 4 phenylalanines were identified from COSY spectra. From NOESY spectra all imidazole C-resonances could be specifically assigned to each of the 8 histidines using the crystal coordinates of the Cu(II),Zn enzyme. Since 6 histidines are involved in the structure of the active site, this result implies nearly identical active site conformations for the two oxidation states of the catalytic cycle of this enzyme, in line with its diffusion-limited rate.     

Conformational Analysis of a Hybrid DNA-RNA Double Helical Oligonucleotide in Aqueous Solution: d(CG)r(CG)d(CG) Studied by 1D- and 2D-1H NMR Spectroscopy

Abstract

The double helical structure of the self-complementary DNA-RNA-DNA hybrid d(CG)r(CG) d(CG) was studied in solution by 500 MHz ¹H-NMR spectroscopy. The non-exchangeable base protons and the (deoxy)ribose H1′, H2′ and H2″ protons were unambiguously assigned using 2D-J-correlated (COSY) and 2D-NOE (NOESY) spectroscopy techniques. A general strategy for the sequential assignment of ¹H-NMR spectra of (double) helical DNA and RNA fragments by means of 2D-NMR methods is presented.

Conformational analysis of the sugar rings of d(CG)r(CG)d(CG) at 300 K shows that the central ribonucleotide part of the helix adopts an A-type double helical conformation. The 5′- and 3′-terminal deoxyribose base pairs, however, take up the normal DNA-type conformation. The A-to-B transition in this molecule involves only one (deoxyribose) base pair. It is shown that this A-to-B conformational transition can only be accomodated by two specific sugar pucker combinations for the junction base pair, i.e. N·S (C3′-endo-C2′-endo, 60%, where the pucker given first is that assigned to the junction nucleotide residue of the strand running 5′ → 3′ from A-RNA to B-DNA) and S·S (C2′-endo-C2′-endo, 40%).     

Study of the spatial structure of a cyclic analog of bradykinin in solution by two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy

H NMR resonances of [cyclo (9----18) Lys1, Gly6]bradykinin (CBK) in (CD3)2SO and H2O solution have been assigned by combined analysis of two-dimensional COSY and NOESY spectra. The presence of two slowly interchangeable conformers of CBK in (CD3)2SO is established, the minor conformer not exceeding 15% in the population. The minor conformer is absent from the aqueous solution, chemical shifts of the CBK and bradykinin NH and C alpha H protons differ insignificantly. The major CBK conformer contains at least two X-Pro trans-peptide groups and three amide protons NH Phe5, NH Arg9 and N zeta H Lys1 protected from solvent. A system of cross-peaks from the NOESY spectra of CBK in (CD3)2SO has been analysed and the maximum distance between backbone protons and neighbouring amino acid residues evaluated. The experimental data agree well with the assumed type II beta-bend in the sequence Pro2-Pro3-Gly4-Phe5. Spatial structure models for the backbone fragment 6-9 of CBK containing two intramolecular hydrogen bonds that involve the NH Arg9 and N zeta H Lys1 protons and the carbonyl groups of Phe5 and Gly4 are proposed.     

Influence of uracil defect on DNA structure: 1H NMR investigation at 500 MHz.

The local structure of two self complementary oligonucleotides d(GTAC-GTAC) and d(GTACGUAC) which differ only by the presence of uracil, not a normal component of DNA, have been investigated by 1H NMR at 500 MHz. The two octamers exhibit the same thermodynamical constants (t 1/2, delta H), their exchangeable protons broaden and disappear at the same temperature. The T-U substitution did not induce any significant changes on non exchangeable protons resonances from 2-D COSY and 2-D NOESY experiments. So the two octamers exhibit the same global structure. The only variation was detected by 1D NOE measurements: the base orientations around the N glycosidic bonds (chi angles) are different.     

Sequence-specific assignments of the 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of reduced high-potential ferredoxin (HiPIP) from Chromatium vinosum.

The 1H resonances of the high-potential [4Fe-4S]2+ ferredoxin from Chromatium vinosum have been assigned through conventional sequential methodology applied to 2D NMR spectra. Almost 80% of the residues were identified using standard 2D COSY, HOHAHA, and NOESY pulse sequences. These residues correspond to four segments of the primary structure that do not interact strongly with the iron-sulfur cluster. A minor correction to the amino acid sequence is strongly suggested by these NMR data. Additional protons more sensitive to the proximity of the cluster were assigned by a combination of NOESY experiments with fast repetition rates and short mixing times and of HOHAHA spectra recorded with reduced spin-lock duration aimed at compensating for the short relaxation rates. Hence, the contributions of 79 residues out of 85 were identified in NMR spectra, among which the assignments of 64 residues were completed. Even the fastest relaxing protons, like those of the cysteine ligands, could be correlated, partly because the strong hyperfine shifts isolate them from the crowded diamagnetic region. However, other protons, in particular those involved in NH-S hydrogen bonds with the iron-sulfur cluster, were more difficult to identify, most probably because their relatively broad signals overlapped with those of protons not or less perturbed by the active site. The availability of the major part of the 1H NMR assignments has enabled the detection and identification of many interresidue NOESY cross peaks. These data are in full agreement with the elements of secondary structure previously revealed by X-ray crystallographic analysis of the protein.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Sequential NMR resonance assignment and secondary structure of ferrocytochrome c553 from Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough.

Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to assign the proton resonances of ferrocytochrome c553 from Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenbourough at 37 degrees C and pH = 5.9. Only a few side-chain protons were not identified because of degeneracy or overlap. The spin systems of the 79 amino acids were identified by DQF-COSY and HOHAHA spectra in H2O and D2O. Sequential assignments were obtained from NOESY connectivities between adjacent amide, C alpha H, and C beta H protons. From sequential NH(i)----NH(i + 1) and long-range C alpha H(i)----NH(i + 3) connectivities, four stretches of helices were identified (2----8, 34----46, 53----59, 67----77). Long-range NOE between residues in three different helices provide qualitative information on the tertiary structure, in agreement with the general folding pattern of cytochrome c. The heme protons, including the propionate groups, were assigned, and the identification of Met 57 as sixth heme ligand was established. The dynamical behavior of the ring protons of the six tyrosines was analyzed in detail in terms of steric hindrance. The NMR data for ferrocytochrome c553 are consistent with the X-ray structure for the homologous cytochrome from D. vulgaris Miyazaki. On the basis of the secondary structure element and of observed chemical shift due to the heme ring current, a structural alignment of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cytochromes c is proposed.     

Sequence-specific 1H NMR assignments and secondary structure in solution of Escherichia coli trp repressor

Sequence-specific 1H NMR assignments are reported for the active L-tryptophan-bound form of Escherichia coli trp repressor. The repressor is a symmetric dimer of 107 residues per monomer; thus at 25 kDa, this is the largest protein for which such detailed sequence-specific assignments have been made. At this molecular mass the broad line widths of the NMR resonances preclude the use of assignment methods based on 1H-1H scalar coupling. Our assignment strategy centers on two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser spectroscopy (NOESY) of a series of selectively deuterated repressor analogues. A new methodology was developed for analysis of the spectra on the basis of the effects of selective deuteration on cross-peak intensities in the NOESY spectra. A total of 90% of the backbone amide protons have been assigned, and 70% of the alpha and side-chain proton resonances are assigned. The local secondary structure was calculated from sequential and medium-range backbone NOEs with the double-iterated Kalman filter method [Altman, R. B., & Jardetzky, O. (1989) Methods Enzymol. 177, 218-246]. The secondary structure agrees with that of the crystal structure [Schevitz, R., Otwinowski, Z., Joachimiak, A., Lawson, C. L., & Sigler, P. B. (1985) Nature 317, 782], except that the solution state is somewhat more disordered in the DNA binding region and in the N-terminal region of the first alpha-helix. Since the repressor is a symmetric dimer, long-range intersubunit NOEs were distinguished from intrasubunit interactions by formation of heterodimers between two appropriate selectively deuterated proteins and comparison of the resulting NOESY spectrum with that of each selectively deuterated homodimer. Thus, from spectra of three heterodimers, long-range NOEs between eight pairs of residues were identified as intersubunit NOEs, and two additional long-range intrasubunits NOEs were assigned.     

Conformations of nucleoside analogue 1-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide in different DNA sequence contexts

The concept of using a dynamic base-pairing nucleobase as a mode for degenerate recognition presents a unique challenge to analysis of DNA structure. Proton and phosphorus NMR studies are reported for two nine-residue DNA oligodeoxyribonucleotides, d(CATGGGTAC).d(GTACNCATG) (1) and d(CATGTGTAC).(GTACNCATG) (2), which contained 1-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide (N) in the center of the helix at position 14. The duplexes were compared to the canonical Watson-Crick duplexes, d(CATGGGTAC).d(GTACCCATG) (3) and d(CATGTGTAC).d(GTACACATG) (4). Two-dimensional NOESY spectra of 1-4 in H(2)O and D(2)O solutions collected at 5 degrees C allowed assignment of the exchangeable and nonexchangeable protons for all four oligodeoxyribonucleotides. Thermodynamic and circular dichroism data indicated that 1-4 formed stable, B-form duplexes at 5 degrees C. Two-dimensional (1)H-(31)P correlation spectra indicated that there were minor perturbations in the backbone only near the site of the triazole base. Strong NOESY cross-peaks were observed between the H5 and H1' of N14 in 1 and, unexpectedly, 2, which indicated that, in both duplexes, N14 was in the syn(chi)() conformation about the glycosidic bond. NOESY spectra of 1 and 2 recorded in 95% H(2)O, 5% D(2)O indicated that the imino proton of the base opposite N14, G5, or T5, formed a weak hydrogen bond with N14. These conformations place the polar carboxamide functional group in the major groove with motional averaging on the intermediate time scale.
