The utility of three-dimensional heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy for the assignment of 1H and 15N resonances of the inflammatory protein C5a (MW 8500), uniformly labeled with 15N, is demonstrated at a protein concentration of 0.7 mM. It is shown that dramatic simplification of the 2D nuclear Overhauser effect spectrum (NOESY) is obtained by editing with respect to the frequency of the 15N heteronucleus in a third dimension. The improved resolution in the 3D experiment largely facilitates the assignment of protein NMR spectra and allows for the determination of distance constraints from otherwise overlapping NOE cross peaks for purposes of 3D structure determination. The results show that 15N heteronuclear 3D NMR can facilitate the structure determination of small proteins and promises to be a useful tool for the study of larger systems that cannot be studied by conventional 2D NMR techniques. 相似文献

The genome of the extremely radiation resistant bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans encodes 21 Nudix hydrolases, of which only two have been characterized in detail. Here we report the activity and crystal structure for DR_0079, the first Nudix hydrolase observed to have a marked preference for cytosine ribonucleoside 5'-diphosphate (CDP) and cytosine ribonucleoside 5'-triphosphate (CTP). After CDP and CTP, the next most preferred substrates for DR_0079, with a relative activity of <50%, were the corresponding deoxyribose nucleotides, dCDP and dCTP. Hydrolase activity at the site of the phosphodiester bond was corroborated using (31)P NMR spectroscopy to follow the phosphorus resonances for three substrates, CDP, IDP, and CTP, and their hydrolysis products, CMP + P(i), IMP + P(i), and CMP + PP(i), respectively. Nucleophilic substitution at the beta-phosphorus of CDP and CTP was established, using (31)P NMR spectroscopy, by the appearance of an upfield-shifted P(i) resonance and line-broadened PP(i) resonance, respectively, when the hydrolysis was performed in 40% H(2)(18)O-enriched water. The optimal activity for CDP was at pH 9.0-9.5 with the reaction requiring divalent metal cation (Mg(2+) > Mn(2+) > Co(2+)). The biochemical data are discussed with reference to the crystal structure for DR_0079 that was determined in the metal-free form at 1.9 A resolution. The protein contains nine beta-strands, three alpha-helices, and two 3(10)-helices organized into three subdomains: an N-terminal beta-sheet, a central Nudix core, and a C-terminal helix-turn-helix motif. As observed for all known structures of Nudix hydrolases, the alpha-helix of the "Nudix box" is one of two helices that sandwich a "four-strand" mixed beta-sheet. To identify residues potentially involved in metal and substrate binding, NMR chemical shift mapping experiments were performed on (15)N-labeled DR_0079 with the paramagnetic divalent cation Co(2+) and the nonhydrolyzable substrate thymidine 5'-O-(alpha,beta-methylenediphosphate) and the results mapped onto the crystal structure. 相似文献

The interactions between the aromatic residues of the monoclonal antibody TE34, and its peptide antigen CTP3, have been studied by 2D TRNOE difference spectroscopy. The sequence of CTP3 corresponds to residues 50-64 of the B subunit of cholera toxin (VEVPGSQHIDSQKKA). Unlike two previously studied anti-CTP3 antibodies (TE32 and TE33), the TE34 antibody does not bind the toxin. The off-rate of CTP3 from TE34 was found to be too slow to measure strong TRNOE cross-peaks between the antibody and the peptide. Much faster off-rates, resulting in a strong TRNOE, were obtained for two peptide analogues: (a) CTP3 with an amide in the C-terminus (VEVPGSQHIDSQKKA-NH2) and (b) a truncated version of the peptide (N-acetyl-IDSQKKA). These modifications do not interfere significantly either with the interactions of the unmodified part of the peptide with the antibody or with intramolecular interactions occurring in the epitope recognized by the antibody. The combined use of these peptides allows us to study the interactions between the antibody and the whole peptide. Two tyrosine residues and one or more tryptophan and phenylalanine residues have been found to interact with histidine-8, isoleucine-9, aspartate-10, lysine-13 and/or lysine-14, and alanine-15 of the peptide. In the bound peptide, we observe interactions of a lysine residue with aspartate-10 beta protons. While the peptide epitope recognized by TE34 is between histidine-8 and the negatively charged C-terminus, that recognized by TE32 and TE33 is between residues 3 and 10 of the peptide.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Complete resonance assignment for the polypeptide backbone of interleukin 1 beta using three-dimensional heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
The complete sequence-specific assignment of the 15N and 1H backbone resonances of the NMR spectrum of recombinant human interleukin 1 beta (153 residues, Mr = 17,400) has been obtained by using primarily 15N-1H heteronuclear three-dimensional (3D) NMR techniques in combination with 15N-1H heteronuclear and 1H homonuclear two-dimensional NMR. The fingerprint region of the spectrum was analyzed by using a combination of 3D heteronuclear 1H Hartmann-Hahn 15N-1H multiple quantum coherence (3D HOHAHA-HMQC) and 3D heteronuclear 1H nuclear Overhauser 15N-1H multiple quantum coherence (3D NOESY-HMQC) spectroscopies. We show that the problems of amide NH and C alpha H chemical shift degeneracy that are prevalent for proteins of this size are readily overcome by using the 3D heteronuclear NMR technique. A doubling of some peaks in the spectrum was found to be due to N-terminal heterogeneity of the 15N-labeled protein, corresponding to a mixture of wild-type and des-Ala-1-interleukin 1 beta. The complete list of 15N and 1H assignments is given for all the amide NH and C alpha H resonances of all non-proline residues, as well as the 1H assignments for some of the amino acid side chains. This first example of the sequence-specific assignment of a protein using heteronuclear 3D NMR provides a basis for further conformational and dynamic studies of interleukin 1 beta. 相似文献

Delineation of the allosteric mechanism of a cytidylyltransferase exhibiting negative cooperativity.
The dimeric enzyme CTP:glycerol-3-phosphate cytidylyltransferase (GCT) displays strong negative cooperativity between the first and second binding of its substrate, CTP. Using NMR to study the allosteric mechanism of this enzyme, we observe widespread chemical shift changes for the individual CTP binding steps. Mapping these changes onto the molecular structure allowed the formulation of a detailed model of allosteric conformational change. Upon the second step of ligand binding, NMR experiments indicate an extensive loss of conformational exchange broadening of the backbone resonances of GCT. This suggests that a fraction of the free energy of negative cooperativity is entropic in origin. 相似文献

TE33 is an Fab fragment of a monoclonal antibody raised against a 15-residue long peptide (CTP3), corresponding in sequence to residues 50-64 of the cholera toxin B subunit. Crystals of the complex between TE33 and CTP3 have been grown from 20% (w/v) polyethylene glycol-8000 at pH 4.0. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group P2(1)2(1)2, with unit cell dimensions a = 104.15, b = 110.61, and c = 40.68 A. X-Ray data have been collected to a resolution of 2.3 A. The asymmetric unit contains one molecule of Fab and one molecule of CTP3. The presence of CTP3 has been demonstrated by fluorescence quenching of the dissolved crystal after X-ray data collection. A molecular replacement solution was found based on the coordinates of DB3, an antiprogesterone Fab fragment. 相似文献

The application of three-dimensional (3D) heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy to the sequential assignment of the 1H NMR spectra of larger proteins is presented, using uniformly labeled (approximately 95%) [15N]interleukin 1 beta, a protein of 153 residues and molecular mass of 17.4 kDa, as an example. The two-dimensional (2D) 600-MHz spectra of interleukin 1 beta are too complex for complete analysis, owing to extensive cross-peak overlap and chemical shift degeneracy. We show that the combined use of 3D 1H-15N Hartmann-Hahn-multiple quantum coherence (HOHAHA-HMQC) and nuclear Overhauser-multiple quantum coherence (NOESY-HMQC) spectroscopy, designed to provide the necessary through-bond and through-space correlations for sequential assignment, provides a practical general-purpose method for resolving ambiguities which severely limit the analysis of conventional 2D NMR spectra. The absence of overlapping cross-peaks in these 3D spectra allows the unambiguous identification of C alpha H(i)-NH(i+1) and NH(i)-NH(i+1) through-space nuclear Overhauser connectivities necessary for connecting a particular C alpha H(i)-NH(i) through-bond correlation with its associated through-space sequential cross-peak The problem of amide NH chemical shift degeneracy in the 1H NMR spectrum is therefore effectively removed, and the assignment procedure simply involves inspecting a series of 2D 1H-1H slices edited by the chemical shift of the directly bonded 15N atom. Connections between residues can be identified almost without any knowledge of the spin system types involved, though this type of information is clearly required for the eventual placement of the connected residues within the primary sequence. 相似文献

Cholera is a widespread disease for which there is no efficient vaccine. A better understanding of the conformational rearrangements at the epitope might be very helpful for the development of a good vaccine. Cholera toxin (CT) as well as the closely related heat-labile toxin from Escherichia coli (LT) are composed of two subunits, A and B, which form an oligomeric assembly AB5. Residues 50-64 on the surface of the B subunits comprise a conserved loop (CTP3), which is involved in saccharide binding to the receptor on epithelial cells. This loop exhibits remarkable conformational plasticity induced by environmental constraints. The crystal structure of this loop is compared in the free and receptor-bound toxins as well as in the crystal and solution structures of a complex with TE33, a monoclonal antibody elicited against CTP3. In the toxins this loop forms an irregular structure connecting a beta-strand to the central alpha-helix. Ser 55 and Gln 56 exhibit considerable conformational variability in the five subunits of the unliganded toxins. Saccharide binding induces a change primarily in Ser 55 and Gln 56 to a conformation identical in all five copies. Thus, saccharide binding confers rigidity upon the loop. The conformation of CTP3 in complex with TE33 is quite different. The amino-terminal part of CTP3 forms a beta-turn that fits snugly into a deep binding pocket on TE33, in both the crystal and NMR-derived solution structure. Only 8 and 12 residues out of 15 are seen in the NMR and crystal structures, respectively. Despite these conformational differences, TE33 is cross-reactive with intact CT, albeit with a thousandfold decrease in affinity. This suggests a different interaction of TE33 with intact CT. 相似文献

This paper describes the NMR screening of 141 small (<15 kDa) recombinant Thermotoga maritima proteins for globular folding. The experimental data shows that approximately 25% of the screened proteins are folded under our screening conditions, which makes this procedure an important step for selecting those proteins that are suitable for structure determination. A comparison of screening based either on 1D 1H NMR with unlabeled proteins or on 2D [1H,15N]-COSY with uniformly 15N-labeled proteins is presented, and a comprehensive analysis of the 1D 1H NMR screening data is described. As an illustration of the utility of these methods to structural proteomics, the NMR structure determination of TM1492 (ribosomal protein L29) is presented. This 66-residue protein consists of a N-terminal 3(10)-helix and two long alpha-helices connected by a tight turn centered about glycine 35, where conserved leucine and isoleucine residues in the two alpha-helices form a small hydrophobic core. 相似文献

The solution structure of the catalytic fragment of human fibroblast collagenase (MMP-1) complexed with a sulfonamide derivative of a hydroxamic acid compound (CGS-27023A) has been determined using two-dimensional and three-dimensional heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy. The solution structure of the complex was calculated by means of hybrid distance geometry-simulated annealing using a combination of experimental NMR restraints obtained from the previous refinement of the inhibitor-free MMP-1 (1) and recent restraints for the MMP-1:CGS-27023A complex. The hydroxamic acid moiety of CGS-27023A was found to chelate to the "right" of the catalytic zinc where the p-methoxyphenyl sits in the S1' active-site pocket, the isopropyl group is in contact with H83 and N80, and the pyridine ring is solvent exposed. The sulfonyl oxygens are in hydrogen-bonding distance to the backbone NHs of L81 and A82. This is similar to the conformation determined by NMR of the inhibitor bound to stromelysin (2, 3). A total of 48 distance restraints were observed between MMP-1 and CGS-27023A from 3D 13C-edited/12C-filtered NOESY and 3D 15N-edited NOESY experiments. An additional 18 intramolecular restraints were observed for CGS-27023A from a 2D 12C-filtered NOESY experiment. A minimal set of NMR experiments in combination with the free MMP-1 assignments were used to assign the MMP-1 (1)H, 13C, and 15N resonances in the MMP-1:CGS-27023A complex. The assignments of CGS-27023A in the complex were obtained from 2D 12C-filtered NOESY and 2D 12C-filtered TOCSY experiments. 相似文献

An increase in cytoplasmic CTP accelerates the reaction catalyzed by CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase in poliovirus-infected HeLa cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Poliovirus increases phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis in HeLa cells by stimulation of the reaction catalyzed by CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (Vance, D.E., Trip, E.M., and Paddon, H.B. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 1064-1069). The mechanism for the virus effect has been investigated. An assay for the cytidylyltransferase which mimics the physiological conditions within the cell was developed. The enzyme activity was not changed at 3 h but was stimulated more than 2-fold at 4 and 5 h after infection with poliovirus. Enzyme activity was stimulated by addition of CTP to the assay. At 0.10 mM CTP the difference in activities from poliovirus- and mock-infected cells was abolished. Mg2+ inhibited the cytidylyltransferase activities and eliminated the differences between the two activities at a concentration of 0.05 mM. However, the endogenous amount of Mg2+ in the postmitochondrial supernatants was the same for infected and mock-infected cells. The addition of CDP-choline or PPi inhibited the cytidylyltransferase activity but had no effect on the relative differences in activities from infected and mock-infected cells. Measurement of CTP in the postmitochondrial fraction showed no differences at 3 h but was elevated 2- to 3-fold in poliovirus-infected cells at 4 and 5 h. It appears that the cytidylyltransferase reaction is faster in poliovirus-infected HeLa cells because of an increase of CTP in the cytoplasmic compartment. Moreover, it appears that the concentration of CTP in the cytoplasm can determine the rate of phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis in HeLa cells. 相似文献

Lactophoricin (LPcin), a component of proteose peptone (113–135) isolated from bovine milk, is a cationic amphipathic antimicrobial peptide consisting of 23 amino acids. We designed a series of N- or C-terminal truncated variants, mutated analogs, and truncated mutated analogs using peptide-engineering techniques. Then, we selected three LPcin analogs of LPcin-C8 (LPcin-YK1), LPcin-T2WT6W (LPcin-YK2), and LPcin-T2WT6W-C8 (LPcin-YK3), which may have better antimicrobial activities than LPcin, and successfully expressed them in E. coli with high yield. We elucidated the 3D structures and topologies of the three LPcin analogs in membrane environments by conducting NMR structural studies. We investigated the purity of the LPcin analogs and the α-helical secondary structures by performing 1H-15N 2D HSQC and HMQC-NOESY liquid-state NMR spectroscopy using protein-containing micelle samples. We measured the 3D structures and tilt angles in membranes by conducting 15N 1D and 2D 1H-15N SAMMY type solid-state NMR spectroscopy with an 800 MHz in-house-built 1H-15N double-resonance solid-state NMR probe with a strip-shield coil, using protein-containing large bicelle samples aligned and confirmed by molecular-dynamics simulations. The three LPcin analogs were found to be curved α-helical structures, with tilt angles of 55–75° for normal membrane bilayers, and their enhanced activities may be correlated with these topologies. 相似文献

Reaction of 2-hydrazinopyridine (1) with D-xylose, D-galactose, D-glucose and D-fructose afforded the corresponding hydrazones mainly in the acyclic forms 2, 3, 6 and 11 with minor amounts of the cyclic structures. Oxidative cyclization of the hydrazones with bromine in methanol resulted in the formation of the 3-(polyhydroxyalkyl)-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine derivatives 13-15 whose acetylation afforded the acetylated derivatives 16-18. Assignment of 1D and 2D NMR spectral data in addition to 15N NMR experiments led to complete characterization of the products. 相似文献

13C and 15N isotope effects have been measured for the aspartate transcarbamylase (ATCase) reaction in an effort to elucidate the chemical mechanism of this highly regulated enzyme. The observed 15(V/K(asp))H2O value for the ATCase holoenzyme at saturing carbamyl phosphate and 12 mM L-aspartate is 1.0045 at pH 7.5, and this value remains unchanged in the presence of 5 mM ATP (activator) or 5 mM CTP (inhibitor). The fact that the isotope effect is not changed by the allosteric modifiers supports the conclusion that the kinetic properties of the active form of ATCase are not influenced by ATP or CTP. The observed 15(V/K(asp)) values for the catalytic subunit of ATCase are also the same as those determined for the holoenzyme, suggesting that the chemical mechanisms of both enzyme species are the same. Quantitative analysis of 13C and 15N isotope effects in both H2O and D2O has led to the proposal of a chemical model for the ATCase reaction which involves a precatalytic conformational change to form an activated complex that facilitates deprotonation of L-aspartate by an enzyme functional group. Nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl carbon of carbamyl phosphate by the alpha-amino group of L-aspartate results in the formation of a tetrahedral intermediate. An intramolecular proton transfer leads to formation of products N-carbamyl-L-aspartate and inorganic phosphate. 相似文献

A uniformly 15N-labeled recombinant light-chain variable (VL) domain from the anti-digoxin antibody 26-10 has been investigated by heteronuclear two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) NMR spectroscopy. Complementary homonuclear 2D NMR studies of the unlabeled VL domain were also performed. Sequence-specific assignments for 97% of the main-chain and 70% of the side-chain proton resonances have been obtained. Patterns of nuclear Overhauser effects observed in 2D NOESY, 3D NOESY-HSQC, and 3D NOESY-TOCSY-HSQC spectra afford a detailed characterization of the VL domain secondary structure in solution. The observed secondary structure--a nine-stranded antiparallel beta-barrel--corresponds to that observed crystallographically for VL domains involved in quaternary associations. The locations of slowly exchanging amide protons have been discerned from a 2D TOCSY spectrum recorded after dissolving the protein in 2H2O. Strands B, C, E, and F are found to be particularly stable. The possible consequences of these results for domain-domain interactions are discussed. 相似文献

A new apotirucallane-type triterpenoid, 3α-benzoate triterpenoid A (1), along with six known triterpenoids (2–7), one aromatic ester (8) and eight lignans (9–16), were isolated from the fruits of Melia azedarach Linn. The structure of 1 was determined by spectral analyses, including HR-ESI-MS, 1D NMR (1H NMR and 13C NMR) and 2D NMR (HSQC and HMBC) analyses. 10, 11 and 16 were reported for the first time from the family Meliaceae, 8 was identified from the genus Melia for the first time, and 2, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 12–15 were obtained from M. azedarach for the first time. The chemotaxonomic significance of these compounds is discussed. 相似文献

Based on 2D 1H-1H and 2D and 3D 1H-15N NMR spectroscopies, complete 1H NMR assignments are reported for zinc-containing Clostridium pasteurianum rubredoxin (Cp ZnRd). Complete 1H NMR assignments are also reported for a mutated Cp ZnRd, in which residues near the N-terminus, namely, Met 1, Lys 2, and Pro 15, have been changed to their counterparts, (-), Ala and Glu, respectively, in rubredoxin from the hyperthermophilic archaeon, Pyrococcus furiosus (Pf Rd). The secondary structure of both wild-type and mutated Cp ZnRds, as determined by NMR methods, is essentially the same. However, the NMR data indicate an extension of the three-stranded beta-sheet in the mutated Cp ZnRd to include the N-terminal Ala residue and Glu 15, as occurs in Pf Rd. The mutated Cp Rd also shows more intense NOE cross peaks, indicating stronger interactions between the strands of the beta-sheet and, in fact, throughout the mutated Rd. However, these stronger interactions do not lead to any significant increase in thermostability, and both the mutated and wild-type Cp Rds are much less thermostable than Pf Rd. These correlations strongly suggest that, contrary to a previous proposal [Blake PR et al., 1992, Protein Sci 1:1508-1521], the thermostabilization mechanism of Pf Rd is not dominated by a unique set of hydrogen bonds or electrostatic interactions involving the N-terminal strand of the beta-sheet. The NMR results also suggest that an overall tighter protein structure does not necessarily lead to increased thermostability. 相似文献

CMP-Kdn synthetase catalyses the reaction of sialic acids (Sia) and cytidine-5'-triphosphate (CTP) to the corresponding activated sugar nucleotide CMP-Sia and pyrophosphate PP(i). STD NMR experiments of a recombinant nucleotide cytidine-5'-monophosphate-3-deoxy-d-glycero-d-galacto-nonulosonic acid synthetase (CMP-Kdn synthetase) were performed to map the binding epitope of the substrate CTP and the product CMP-Neu5Ac. The STD NMR analysis clearly shows that the anomeric proton of the ribose moiety of both investigated compounds is in close proximity to the protein surface and is likely to play a key role in the binding process. The relative rates of the enzyme reaction, derived from (1)H NMR signal integrals, show that Kdn is activated at a rate 2.5 and 3.1 faster than Neu5Ac and Neu5Gc, respectively. Furthermore, proton-decoupled (31)P NMR spectroscopy was successfully used to follow the enzyme reaction and clearly confirmed the appearance of CMP-Sia and the inorganic pyrophosphate by-product. 相似文献

Application of Fourier Transform for processing 3D NMR spectra with random sampling of evolution time space is presented. The 2D FT is calculated for pairs of frequencies, instead of conventional sequence of one-dimensional transforms. Signal to noise ratios and linewidths for different random distributions were investigated by simulations and experiments. The experimental examples include 3D HNCA, HNCACB and 15N-edited NOESY-HSQC spectra of 13C 15N labeled ubiquitin sample. Obtained results revealed general applicability of proposed method and the significant improvement of resolution in comparison with conventional spectra recorded in the same time. 相似文献
