Amide proton exchange in the alpha-amylase polypeptide inhibitor Tendamistat studied by two-dimensional 1H nuclear magnetic resonance 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The individual amide proton exchange rates in Tendamistat at pH 3.0 and 50 degrees C were measured by using two-dimensional 1H nuclear magnetic resonance. Overall, it was found that the distribution of exchange rates along the sequence is dominated by the interstrand hydrogen bonds of the beta-sheet structures. The slowly exchanging protons in the core of the two beta-sheets were shown to exchange via an EX2 mechanism. Further analysis of the data indicates that different large-scale structure fluctuations are responsible for the exchange from the two beta-sheets, even though the three-dimensional structure of Tendamistat appears to consist of a single structural domain. 相似文献

Conformation of recombinant desulfatohirudin in aqueous solution determined by nuclear magnetic resonance 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The three-dimensional structure of recombinant desulfatohirudin in aqueous solution was determined by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance at 600 MHz and distance geometry calculations with the program DISMAN. The input for the structure calculations was prepared on the basis of complete sequence-specific resonance assignments at pH 4.5 and 22 degrees C and consisted of 425 distance constraints from nuclear Overhauser enhancements and 159 supplementary constraints from spin-spin coupling constants and from the identification of intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Residues 3-30 and 37-48 form a molecular core with two antiparallel beta-sheets and several well-defined turns. The three disulfide bonds 6-14, 16-28, and 22-39 were identified by NMR. In contrast to this well-defined molecular core, with an average root mean square distance for the polypeptide backbone of 0.8 A for a group of nine DISMAN solutions, no preferred conformation was found for the C-terminal segment 49-65, and a loop consisting of residues 31-36 is not uniquely constrained by the NMR data either. These structural properties of recombinant desulfatohirudin coincide closely with the previously described solution conformation of natural hirudin, but the presence of localized differences is indicated by chemical shift differences for residues Asp 5, Ser 9, Leu 15, Asp 53, Gly 54, and Asp 55. 相似文献

The contribution of intramolecular hydrogen bonding to the solution structure of oxytocin was evaluated by study of amide hydrogen exchange rates in D2O by Fourier transform 1H NMR spectroscopy. Resolution enhancement filtering was employed in the determination of individual pseudo-first-order rate constants. Apparent barriers to exchange of 0.5 and 0.6 kcal mol-1 were measured for Asn5 and Cys6 peptide NH, respectively. The slowing is best explained by steric hindrance to solvent access in the case of Asn5, while for the Cys6 participation in a weak intramolecular hydrogen bond is possible. Fourfold acceleration of base-catalyzed exchange was observed for Tyr2 NH; it is proposed that this is the result of electronic effects induced by hydrogen bonding of Cys1 C=0, either to Cys6 NH or to the N-terminal amino group. Exchange proceeds near the random coil limit for each of the remaining residues. Comparison with exchange data for the model tripeptide N-acetyl-L-prolyl-L-leucylglycinamide demonstrates no evidence of noncovalent association of the tocin ring with the tripeptide tail of the hormone. 相似文献

The solvent exchange rates of the acetamido hydrogen of the 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl unit of group A streptococcal polysaccharide dissolved in H2O have been measured and compared with the corresponding exchange rates in the solvated model compound 1-O-methyl-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranoside. Amide hydrogen exchange rates were measured at 25 degrees C over a wide pH range by a combination of two separate NMR techniques: the transfer of solvent saturation and the amide hydrogen saturation recovery NMR experiments. The data indicate that the acetamido hydrogen essentially exists in a solvated environment and that its contribution to the conformational stability of this polysaccharide through intramolecular hydrogen bonding is negligible. 相似文献

Recent neutron diffraction studies on photoactive yellow protein (PYP) proposed that the H bond between protonated Glu46 and the chromophore-ionized p-coumaric acid (pCA) is a low-barrier H bond (LBHB) mainly because the H atom position was assigned at the midpoint of the O(Glu46)-O(pCA) bond. However, the (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shift (δ(H)) was 15.2 ppm, which is lower than the values of 17-19 ppm for typical LBHBs. We evaluated the dependence of δ(H) on an H atom position in the O(Glu46)-O(pCA) bond in the PYP ground state by using a quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) approach. The calculated chemical shift unambiguously suggested that a δ(H) of 15.2 ppm for the O(Glu46)-O(pCA) bond in NMR studies should correspond to the QM/MM geometry (δ(H) = 14.5 ppm), where the H atom belongs to the Glu moiety, rather than the neutron diffraction geometry (δ(H) = 19.7 ppm), where the H atom is near the midpoint of the donor and acceptor atoms. 相似文献

The isoinhibitor IIA from bull seminal plasma was investigated in aqueous solution by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.). The analysis of the 1H n.m.r. data was based on individual resonance assignments, which are described in the following paper. Large conformation-dependent chemical shifts for aliphatic amino acid side-chains, numerous slowly exchanging amide protons and unusual pH titrations of two aromatic residues show that this protein forms a compact, globular conformation. This form of the protein is stable between pH 4 and 12 at 25 degrees C, and between 5 and 50 degrees C at pH 4.9. At temperatures above 50 degrees C there is evidence for an equilibrium between several different conformations, with the rate of exchange between the different species being in the intermediate range on the n.m.r. time-scale. Preliminary data are presented for the individual exchange rates of 18 backbone amide protons. Among the four aromatic rings, Phe10, Phe38 and Tyr16 undergo rapid 180 flips over the entire temperature range, whereas for Tyr32 a temperature-dependent transition from low-frequency to high-frequency flipping motions was observed. 相似文献

Amide proton exchange in human metallothionein-2 measured by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

In human metallothionein-2, the exchange rate constants of ten amide protons were found to range from 1.7 x 10(-4) to 1 x 10(-1) min-1 at pH 6.3 and 8 degrees C. Most of these slowly exchanging protons could be associated with hydrogen bonds in secondary structure elements of the alpha-domain. Amide proton exchange rates thus present an additional criterion for the structural characterization of different metallothioneins, which could be particularly valuable for comparisons of different homologous protein preparations containing nuclear magnetic resonance-inactive metal ions, where the metal-polypeptide co-ordinative bonds cannot be identified directly. 相似文献

1. The aromatic proton resonances in the 360-MHz 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum of bovine pancreatic ribonuclease were divided into histidine, tyrosine and phenylalanine resonances by means of pH titrations and double resonance experiments. 2. Photochemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization spectra showed that one histidine (His-119) and two tyrosines are accessibly to photo-excited flavin. This permitted the identification of the C-4 proton resonance of His-119. 3. The resonances of the ring protons of Tyr-25, Tyr-76 and Tyr-115 and the C-4 proton of His-12 were identified by comparison with subtilisin-modified and nitrated ribonucleases. Other resonances were assigned tentatively to Tyr-73, Tyr-92 and Phe-46. 4. On addition of active-site inhibitors, all phenylalanine resonances broadened or disappeared. The resonance that was most affected was assigned tentatively to Phe-120. 5. Four of the six tyrosines of bovine RNase, identified as Tyr-76, Tyr-115 and, tentatively, Tyr-73 and Tyr-92, are titratable above pH 9. The rings of Tyr-73 and Tyr-115 are rapidly rotating or flipping by 180 degrees about their C beta--C gamma bond and are accessible to flavin in photochemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization experiments. Tyr-25 is involved in a pH-dependent conformational transition, together with Asp-14 and His-48. A scheme for this transition is proposed. 6. Binding of active-site inhibitors to bovine RNase only influences the active site and its immediate surroundings. These conformational changes are probably not connected with the pH-dependent transition in the region of Asp-14, Tyr-25 and His-48. 7. In NMR spectra of RNase A at elevated temperatures, no local unfolding below the temperature of the thermal denaturation was observed. NMR spectra of thermally unfolded RNase A indicated that the deviations from a random coil are small and might be caused by interactions between neighbouring residues. 相似文献

1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of 1 - (II) and 3-deazaadenosines (III) together with adenosine (I) in dimethylsulfoxide have been examined. Features of coupling constants indicate that the furanose rings of I, II, and III have similar conformational preferences and that conformations about the 4′-C–5′-C bond are preferentially . Nuclear Overhauser effect and spin-lattice relaxation-time measurements demonstrate that II predominantly adopts the -conformation similar to that of I, whereas that of III has a greater (freely rotating) component. The results suggest that the -conformation in II as well as I is stabilized presumably through a hydrogen bond between the 3-N and 5′-hydroxyl group. 相似文献

Amide proton exchange rates of Ca2(+)-saturated calmodulin and Ca2(+)-saturated calmodulin-mastoparan complex were studied by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Exchange rates of Gly25, Gly61, Gly98, Gly134, Ile27, Ile100, and Asn137 were determined for Ca2(+)-saturated calmodulin and for Ca2(+)-saturated calmodulin-mastoparan complex, and were found to be less than 10(-4)s-1. All these residues of which the amide proton resonances appear at lower fields were considered to form hydrogen bonds, based on the results of X-ray analysis. Exchange rates of Ile27 and Asn137 became an order of magnitude smaller when mastoparan bound to Ca2(+)-saturated calmodulin, while those of the four glycines and Ile100 did not change appreciably. The reduction in accessibility of Asn137 to water cased by mastoparan binding suggests that a part of the mastoparan binding site is probably located in or near the hydrophobic cluster of the C-terminal-half domain. The reduction in accessibility of Ile27 also suggests that another part of the mastoparan binding site is located in or near the hydrophobic cleft of the N-terminal-half domain. 相似文献

Amyloid fibrils with an ordered cross-β structure are one form of protein aberrant aggregates. Fibrils themselves and on-pathway small aggregates are involved in many neurodegenerative diseases and amylodoses. Over the past decade, much has been learned about the conformation of amyloid fibrils by using various biochemical and biophysical approaches. Amyloid fibrils accommodate rigid core structures composed of regular intra- and intermolecular non-covalent bonds such as hydrogen bonds, and disordered flexible regions exposed to solvents. In contrast to the improved understanding of fibril structures, few studies have investigated the short-living monomeric intermediates which interact with amyloid fibrils for elongation and the self-associated intermediates in the course of amyloidogenesis at the residue level. To study static fibrillar structures and kinetic intermediates, hydrogen/deuterium exchange (HD(ex)) coupled with solution-state NMR spectroscopy is one of the most powerful methods with a high time and atomic resolution. Here, we review studies on the structural properties of amyloid fibrils based on a combination of dimethylsulfoxide-quenched HD(ex) and NMR spectroscopy. Recent studies on transient kinetic intermediates during fibril growth by means of pulse-labeling HD(ex) aided by a quenched-flow apparatus and NMR spectroscopy are focused on. 相似文献

The NMR pulsed field gradient self-diffusion method has been used to study the self-diffusion of the polyamine spermidine and the polyamine analog methylspermidine (completely N-methylated spermidine). The self-diffusion coefficient, D, was measured in solutions of calf thymus DNA prepared from nucleosome core particles (with an average length of 120 base pairs) as a function of the concentration ratio of polyamine to DNA phosphate. A study of the self-diffusion quotient, D/Do (where Do is the diffusion coefficient for free polyamine, not associated with DNA), in additions of spermidine and methyl-spermidine to solutions of NaDNA/NaCl, gave almost identical results with complete association of polyamine to DNA in the initial part of the titrations, indicating similar affinities for DNA. A large influence on the measured self-diffusion coefficients was detected for methylspermidine in NaDNA solutions with different concentrations of NaCl, which shows a considerable salt effect on the polyamine-DNA association. No notable differences in D/Do for methylspermidine were observed in competitive titrations of solutions of Li- and NaDNA, indicating that sodium and lithium ions behave similarly in their interactions with DNA. In titration experiments of methylspermidine into MgDNA solution, the results showed that the polyamine association is less effective than in the case of NaDNA, because of competition from magnesium binding to DNA. Comparisons with calculations based on the electrostatic Poisson-Boltzmann cell model were performed. It is suggested that the interaction is primarily of electrostatic nature, with no binding to specific sites on the DNA molecule. 相似文献

Differential rates of NH proton-exchange reactions have been determined for the guanidinium nitrogens of l-arginine, , in the pH range of 0.5 to 11.5 by natural-abundance nitrogen-15 NMR spectroscopy. Base-catalyzed NH proton exchange of the NH group is found to be two times faster than for the guanidino NH2 groups. The results can be rationalized by consideration of the contributions of various valence-bond structures to the resonance hybrid of . 相似文献

Summary The parameters for HN chemical shift calculations of proteins have been determined using data from high-resolution crystal structures of 15 proteins. Employing these chemical shift calculations for HN protons, the observed secondary structure chemical shift trends of HN protons, i.e., upfield shifts on helix formation and downfield shifts on -sheet formation, are discussed. Our calculations suggest that the main reason for the difference in NH chemical shifts in helices and sheets is not an effect from the directly hydrogen-bonded carbonyl, which gives rise to downfield shifts in both cases, but arises from an additional upfield shift predicted in helices and originating in residues i-2 and i-3. The calculations also explain the well-known relationship between amide proton shifts and hydrogen-bond lengths. In addition, the HN chemical shifts of the distorted amphipathic helices of the GCN4 leucine zipper are calculated and used to characterise the solution structure of the helices. By comparing the calculated and experimental shifts, it is shown that in general the agreement is good between residues 15 and 28. The most interesting observation is that in the N-terminal half of the zipper, although both calculated and experimental shifts show clear periodicity, they are no longer in phase. This suggests that for the N-terminal half, in the true average solution structure the period of the helix coil is longer by roughly one residue compared to the NMR structures. 相似文献

The 270 MHz 1H NMR spectra of 3'-UMP and 3'-CMP were observed in the presence of a two-fold molar excess of bovine pancreatic RNase A [EC 3.1.27.5] at various pHs. For the C(5), C(6), and C(1') protons of these nucleotides, the pH profiles of chemical shifts induced by binding to RNase A were obtained by plotting the differences between chemical shifts in the presence and the absence of RNase A against pH. Such profiles were bell-shaped for the C(5) and C(6) protons of both 3'-UMP and 3'-CMP. However the profiles of C(1') protons were not bell-shaped but appeared to consist of two bell-shaped curves and reflect the dissociations of at least three ionizable groups. The observations for the C(1') protons suggest that there are at least two forms of complexes different from each other in the interaction reflecting the chemical shift of the C(1') proton. In order to clarify the interacting sites of ribonucleotides affecting the induced shift profile of the C(1') proton, the pH titration curves were observed for 3'-dCMP in the presence of RNase A. The induced shift profile was bell-shaped for the C(1') proton as well as for the C(5) proton of the base. This indicates that the interaction at the O(2')H [or O(2')] sites of ribonucleotides causes the two forms of complexes of 3'-UMP and 3'-CMP with RNase A. The interacting sites and modes were discussed with these and the pH titration curves of His-12, His-119, and Phe-120 of RNase A in the presence of a three-fold molar excess of ribonucleotides. 相似文献

The self-association of puromycin has been studied using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The concentration, temperature and pH dependence studies of the proton chemical shifts of the adenine protons indicate that puromycin in aqueous solution at pD 7.4 self associates predominantly through adenine-adenine interaction. At this pD, the amino group of the aminoacyl segment of puromycin has been demonstrated to exist in a equilibrium blend of protonated and non-protonated forms. At pD 2.6, PM is found to exist predominantly in the monomeric from in which the methyl groups of the 6N-dimethyladenine are found to be non-equivalent due to hindered rotation about the C6-N6 bond. 相似文献

The dimeric protein L7/L12 from bacterial ribosomes has a highly elongated and flexible structure. We have, using 1H NMR methods, analyzed the extent of the flexible region and also the size of the organized structures of the molecule. A number of mutants of the protein as well as monomeric and dimeric forms of the protein and a COOH-terminal fragment have been used for the identification of certain resonances. Thus, residues 37-50 were found to be highly mobile whereas the amino-terminal and COOH-terminal regions are organized into folded domains. The flexibility between the domains and its relation to functional properties of the protein are discussed. 相似文献

The structural features of the complexes that alpha-bungarotoxin forms with three different synthetic peptides, mimotopes of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor binding site, have been compared to the corresponding nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) data. For the considered peptides, the observed different affinities towards the toxin could not be accounted simply by static structural considerations. A combined analysis of the SPR- and NMR-derived dynamic parameters shows new correlations between complex formation and dissociation and the overall pattern of intramolecular and intermolecular nuclear Overhauser effects. These features could be crucial for a rational design of protein ligands. 相似文献

Two-dimensional 1H NMR spectroscopy has been applied to a structural analysis of the reduced form of a recombinant human thioredoxin, a ubiquitous dithiol oxidoreductase recently isolated from an immunocompetent lymphoblastoid cell line. The sequential assignment of the spectrum, including all proline residues, has been accomplished by using experiments to demonstrate through-bond and through-space connectivities. The secondary structure has been determined by a qualitative interpretation of nuclear Overhauser effects, NH exchange data, and 3JHN alpha coupling constants. The secondary structure was found to be similar to that of the X-ray structure of Escherichia coli thioredoxin, consisting of a mixed five-stranded beta-sheet surrounded by four alpha-helices. The assignment and structural characterization of human thioredoxin was facilitated by the increased resolution and sensitivity afforded by a magnetic field strength of 600 MHz and required the use of two temperatures and two pH conditions to resolve ambiguities caused by a duplication of resonances. This duplication, extending from Phe-41 to Val-59, and including Lys-3-Ile-5, Val-24, Val-25, Asn-39, and Ile-101-Glu-103, appears to be due to heterogeneity arising from the presence or absence of the N-terminal methionine. 相似文献
