Complete sequence-specific 1H nuclear magnetic resonance assignments were obtained for the backbone hydrogen atoms in Tendamistat, a protein with 74 residues. From NOESY observation of 1H-1H short distance constraints, measurements of the spin-spin couplings 3JHN alpha and a qualitative identification of slowly exchanging amide protons, two antiparallel beta-sheets containing three and four strands, respectively, were identified. The peptide segments outside the beta-sheets do not form regular secondary structure. Preliminary data were obtained on the relative spatial arrangements of the two beta-sheets.  相似文献

The assignment of the 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of the basic pancreatic trypsin inhibitor with the use of two-dimensional 1H nuclear magnetic resonance techniques at 500 MHz is described. The assignments are based entirely on the known amino acid sequence and the nuclear magnetic resonance data. Individual resonance assignments were obtained for all backbone and Cβ protons, with the exception of those of Arg1, Pro2, Pro13 and the amide proton of Gly37. The side-chain resonance assignments are complete, with the exception of Pro2 and Pro13, the Nδ protons of Asn44 and the peripheral protons of the lysine residues and all but two of the arginine residues.  相似文献

The sequential resonance assignment of the 1H NMR spectrum of the antihypertensive and antiviral protein BDS-I from the sea anemone Anemonia sulcata is presented. This is carried out with two-dimensional NMR techniques to identify through-bond and through-space (less than 5 A) connectivities. Added spectral complexity arises from the fact that the sample is an approximately 1:1 mixture of two BDS-I isoproteins, (Leu-18)-BDS-I and (Phe-18)-BDS-I. Complete assignments, however, are obtained, largely due to the increased resolution and sensitivity afforded at 600 MHz. In addition, the stereospecific assignment of a large number of beta-methylene protons is achieved from an analysis of the pattern of 3J alpha beta coupling constants and the relative magnitudes of intraresidue NOEs involving the NH, C alpha H, and C beta H protons. Regular secondary structure elements are deduced from a qualitative interpretation of the nuclear Overhauser enhancement, 3JHN alpha coupling constant, and amide NH exchange data. A triple-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet is found to be related to that found in partially homologous sea anemone polypeptide toxins.  相似文献

The preceding article shows that there are eight highly protected amide protons in the S-peptide moiety of RNAase S at pH 5, 0 degrees C. The residues with protected NH protons are 7 to 13, whose amide protons are H-bonded in the 3 to 13 alpha-helix, and Asp 14, whose NH proton is H-bonded to the CO group of Val47. We describe here the exchange behavior of these eight protected protons as a function of pH. Exchange rates of the individual NH protons are measured by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance in D2O. A procedure is used for specifically labeling with 1H only these eight NH protons. The resonance assignments of the eight protons are made chiefly by partial exchange, through correlating the resonance intensities in spectra taken when the peptide is bound and when it is dissociated from S-protein in 3.5 M-urea-d4, in D2O, pH 2.3, -4 degrees C. The two remaining assignments are made and some other assignments are checked by measurements of the nuclear Overhauser effect between adjacent NH protons of the alpha-helix. There is a transition in exchange behavior between pH 3, where the helix is weakly protected against exchange, and pH 5 where the helix is much more stable. At pH 3.1, 20 degrees C, exchange rates are uniform within the helix within a factor of two, after correction for different intrinsic exchange rates. The degree of protection within the helix is only 10 to 20-fold at this pH. At pH 5.1, 20 degrees C, the helix is more stable by two orders of magnitude and exchange occurs preferentially from the N-terminal end. At both pH values the NH proton of Asp 14, which is just outside the helix, is less protected by an order of magnitude than the adjacent NH protons inside the helix. Opening of the helix can be observed below pH 3.7 by changes in chemical shifts of the NH protons in the helix. At pH 2.4 the changes are 25% of those expected for complete opening. Helix opening is a fast reaction on the n.m.r. time scale (tau much less than 1 ms) unlike the generalized unfolding of RNAase S which is a slow reaction. Dissociation of S-peptide from S-protein in native RNAase S at pH 3.0 also is a slow reaction. Opening of the helix below pH 3.7 is a two-state reaction, as judged by comparing chemical shifts with exchange rates. The exchange rates at pH 3.1 are predicted correctly from the changes in chemical shift by assuming that helix opening is a two-state reaction. At pH values above 3.7, the nature of the helix opening reaction changes. These results indicate that at least one partially unfolded state of RNAase S is populated in the low pH unfolding transition.  相似文献

The 1H NMR spectrum of the glycopeptide antineoplastic antibiotic bleomycin has been examined in D2O solution (Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance, 270 MHZ) and in H2O solution (correlation nuclear magnetic resonance, 250 MHZ). Resonances have been assigned to specific hydrogens of the two most abundant congeners, bleomycin-A2 (BLM-A2) and bleomycin-B2 (BLM-B2), on the basis of (1) homonuclear spin decoupling, (2) comparison of the spectra of BLM-A2, BLM-B2, fragments of these antibiotics, and the related antibiotic phleomycin, and (3) the pH dependence of chemical shifts. Resonance assignments are presented for all the CH protons of BLM-A2 and BLM-B2 except for the saccharide groups, for which only the anomeric proton assignments are given. All of the NH protons have been identified with specific resonances except for the two primary amide groups, which yield four well-resolved peaks, whose specific assignment was not attempted. This study serves as a basis for future investigations of the conformation of bleomycin and its interaction with metals and nucleic acids.  相似文献

The assignment of the 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of glucagon bound to perdeuterated dodecylphosphocholine micelles with the use of two-dimensional 1H nuclear magnetic resonance techniques at 360 MHz is described. Sequential resonance assignments were obtained for all backbone and Cβ protons except the N-terminal amino group and the amide proton of Ser2. The assignments of the non-labile amino acid side-chain protons are complete except for the γ-methylene protons of Gln20 and Gln24. These assignments provide a basis for the determination of the three-dimensional structure of lipid-bound glucagon.  相似文献

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.  相似文献

The solution structure of the 45-residue plant protein, alpha 1-purothionin, is investigated by nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectroscopy. Using a combination of two-dimensional n.m.r. techniques to demonstrate through-bond and through-space (less than 5 A) connectivities, the 1H n.m.r. spectrum of alpha 1-purothionin is assigned in a sequential manner. The secondary structure elements are then delineated on the basis of a qualitative interpretation of short-range nuclear Overhauser effects (NOE) involving the NH, C alpha H and C beta H protons. There are two helices extending from residues 10 to 19 and 23 to 28, two short beta-strands from residues 3 to 5 and 31 to 34 which form a mini anti-parallel beta-sheet, and five turns. In addition, a number of long-range NOE connectivities are assigned and a low resolution tertiary structure is proposed.  相似文献

Proton resonance assignments of horse ferricytochrome c   总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7  
Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (2D NMR) was used to obtain extensive resonance assignments in the 1H NMR spectrum of horse ferricytochrome c. Assignments were made for the main-chain and C beta protons of 102 residues (all except Pro-44 and Gly-84) and the majority of side-chain protons. As starting points for the assignment of the oxidized protein, a limited set of protons was initially assigned by use of 2D NMR magnetization transfer methods to correlate resonances in the oxidized form with assigned resonances in the reduced form [Wand, A. J., Di Stefano, D. L., Feng, Y., Roder, H., & Englander, S. W. (1989) Biochemistry (preceding paper in this issue)]. Given the complexity of the spectrum due to the size of this protein (104 residues) and its paramagnetic center, the initial search for side-chain spin systems in J-correlated spectra was successful only for the simplest side chains, but the majority of NH-C alpha H-C beta H subspin systems (NAB sets) could be identified at this stage. The subsequent search for sequential NOE connectivities focused on NAB sets, with use of previously assigned residues to place NOE-connected segments within the amino acid sequence. Selective proton labeling of either the slowly or the rapidly exchanging amide sites was used to simplify the spectra, and systematic work at two temperatures was used to resolve ambiguities in the 2D NMR spectra. These approaches, together with the use of magnetization transfer methods to correlate reduced and oxidized cytochrome c spectra, provide multiple cross-checks to verify assignments.  相似文献

The complete assignments of all the proton magnetic resonance signals from each NH-CalphaH-CbetaH2 moiety in a complex peptide containing several residues of the same type has not yet been achieved without specific or stereospecific isotopic enrichment. We report the sequencing and proton magnetic resonance spectral assignments, including those of 4 aromatic residues, of tyrocidine A, an analog of the decapeptide gramicidin S. Two complementary methods, proton-proton nuclear Overhauser enhancements and scalar decoupling, evaluated by two distinct forms of difference double resonance, were used. All chemical shifts, scalar coupling constants, and [1H:1H] nuclear Overhauser enhancements for the backbone protons are reported. The [1H:1H] nuclear Overhauser enhancements are consistent with tyrocidine A possessing a beta-I turn/beta-II' turn/antiparallel beta-pleated sheet conformation. In addition to the previously proposed nuclear Overhauser enhancement criteria for beta turns and antiparallel beta sheets, another criterion for identifying the antiparallel beta sheet is demonstrated; namely, the nuclear Overhauser enhancement between 2 CalphaH protons of the central resisdues, in this case the Phe7CalphaH and Orn2CalphaH.  相似文献

The proton resonances of the heme, the axial ligands, and other hyperfine-shifted resonances in the 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of horse ferricytochrome c have been investigated by means of one- and two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser and magnetization transfer methods. Conditions for saturation transfer experiments in mixtures of ferro- and ferricytochrome c were optimized for the cross assignment of corresponding resonances in the two oxidation states. New resonance assignments were obtained for the methine protons of both thioether bridges, the beta and gamma meso protons, the propionate six heme substituent, the N pi H of His-18, and the Tyr-67 OH. In addition, several recently reported assignments were confirmed. All of the resolved hyperfine-shifted resonances in the spectrum of ferricytochrome c are now identified. The Fermi contact shifts experienced by the heme and ligand protons are discussed.  相似文献

High-resolution proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and nuclear Overhauser effects for the low-field exchangeable proton resonances of human normal adult hemoglobin in aqueous solvents are being used to confirm and extend the assignments of these resonances to specific protons at the intersubunit interfaces of the molecule. Most of these exchangeable proton resonances of human normal adult hemoglobin have been found to be absent in the spectra of isolated alpha or beta subunits. This finding indicates that they are specific spectral markers for the quaternary structure of the hemoglobin tetramer. Based on the nuclear Overhauser effect results, we have assigned the exchangeable proton resonance at +7.4 ppm downfield from H2O to the hydrogen-bonded proton between alpha 103(G10)His and beta 108(G10)Asn at the alpha 1 beta 1 interface. The nuclear Overhauser effect results have also confirmed the assignments of the exchangeable proton resonances at +9.4 and +8.2 ppm downfield from H2O previously proposed by workers in this laboratory based on a comparison of human normal adult hemoglobin and appropriate mutant hemoglobins. This independent confirmation of previously proposed assignments is necessary in view of the possible long-range conformational effects of single amino-acid substitutions in mutant hemoglobin molecules.  相似文献

Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) assignments for the murine epidermal growth factor (mEGF) in aqueous solution were determined by using two-dimensional NMR at pH 3.1 and 28 degrees C. The assignments are complete for all backbone hydrogen atoms, with the exception of the N-terminal amino group, and for 46 of the 53 side chains. Among the additional seven amino acid residues, three have complete assignments for all but one side-chain proton, and between two and four protons are missing for the remaining four residues. The sequential assignments by nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy are consistent with the chemically determined amino acid sequence. The NMR data show that the conformations of both the Tyr3-Pro4 and Cys6-Pro7 peptide bonds are trans in the predominant solution structure. Proton-deuterium exchange rate constants were also measured for 13 slowly exchanging amide protons. The information presented here has been used elsewhere to determine the three-dimensional structure of mEGF in aqueous solution.  相似文献

The 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectrum of the alpha-amylase inhibitor Tendamistat was completely assigned with the use of phase-sensitive homonuclear two-dimensional n.m.r. The assignments include the non-labile protons of the 74 amino acid residues as well as the labile protons which exchange sufficiently slowly to be observed in H2O solution. The proton chemical shifts are listed at 50 degrees C and pH 3.2, which coincides with the conditions used for the determination of the three-dimensional structure of Tendamistat.  相似文献

The snake venom protein echistatin is a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation. The inhibitory properties of echistatin have been attributed to the Arg-Gly-Asp sequence at residues 24-26. In this paper, sequence-specific nuclear magnetic resonance assignments are presented for the proton resonances of echistatin in water. The single-chain protein contains 49 amino acids and 4 cystine bridges. All of the backbone amide, C alpha H, and side-chain resonances, except for the eta-NH of the arginines, have been assigned. The secondary structure of the protein was characterized from the pattern of nuclear Overhauser enhancements, from the identification of slowly exchanging amide protons, from 3JC alpha H-NH coupling constants, and from circular dichroism studies. The data suggest that the secondary structure consists of a type I beta-turn, a short beta-hairpin, and a short, irregular, antiparallel beta-sheet and that the Arg-Gly-Asp sequence is in a flexible loop connecting two strands of the distorted antiparallel beta-sheet.  相似文献

The assignment of the 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectrum of the trypsin inhibitor homologue K from the venom of Dendroaspis polylepis polylepis is described and documented. The assignments are based entirely on the amino acid sequence and on 2-dimensional n.m.r. experiments at 360 and 500 M Hz. Individual assignments were obtained for the backbone and C beta protons of all 57 residues of the inhibitor homologue K, with the exceptions of the N-terminal amino group, the amide protons of Arg16, Gly37 and Gly40 and the C beta protons of Arg16 and Pro19. The assignments for the non-labile protons of the amino acid side-chains are complete, with the exception of Gln29, Glu49 and all the proline, lysine and arginine residues. For Asn and Trp the labile side-chain protons have also been assigned. The chemical shifts for the assigned resonances are listed for an aqueous solution at 50 degrees C and pH 3.4.  相似文献

Repeat hexapeptides of elastin have been synthesized and studied with nuclear magnetic resonance methods. The deuterium substituted hexapeptide HCO-Ala1-Pro2-(2H2) Gly3-Val4-Gly5-Val6-OMe allowed completion of the proton assignments and specifically the definitive assignments of the Gly3 and Gly5 resonances. Solvent titrations followed by carbon-13 magnetic resonances are reported which delineate the Ala1 C-O and Gly5 C-O as intramolecularly hydrogen bonded. This coupled with the proton magnetic resonance data which delineated the Gly3 NH and VAL4 NH as candidates for intramolecular hydrogen bonding lead to the proposal of two hydrogen bonds, one between the Ala1 C-O and the Val4NH and the second between the Gly5C-O and the Gly3NH. The probability, or mol fraction, of occurrence of these secondary structural features is demonstrated to be high.  相似文献

The assignments of individual magnetic resonances of backbone nuclei of a larger protein, ribonuclease H from Escherichia coli, which consists of 155 amino acid residues and has a molecular mass of 17.6 kDa are presented. To remove the problem of degenerate chemical shifts, which is inevitable in proteins of this size, three-dimensional NMR was applied. The strategy for the sequential assignment was, first, resonance peaks of amides were classified into 15 amino acid types by 1H-15N HMQC experiments with samples in which specific amino acids were labeled with 15N. Second, the amide 1H-15N peaks were connected along the amino acid sequence by tracing intraresidue and sequential NOE cross peaks. In order to obtain unambiguous NOE connectivities, four types of heteronuclear 3D NMR techniques, 1H-15N-1H 3D NOESY-HMQC, 1H-15N-1H 3D TOCSY-HMQC, 13C-1H-1H 3D HMQC-NOESY, and 13C-1H-1H 3D HMQC-TOCSY, were applied to proteins uniformly labeled either with 15N or with 13C. This method gave a systematic way to assign backbone nuclei (N, NH, C alpha H, and C alpha) of larger proteins. Results of the sequential assignments and identification of secondary structure elements that were revealed by NOE cross peaks among backbone protons are reported.  相似文献

The assignment of the 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectrum of the protease inhibitor IIA from bull seminal plasma is described and documented. The assignments are based entirely on the amino acid sequence and on two-dimensional n.m.r. experiments at 500 MHz. Individual assignments were obtained at 18 degrees C and 45 degrees C for the backbone protons of all 57 amino acid residues, with the single exception of the N-terminal pyroglutamate amide proton. The amino acid side-chain resonance assignments are complete, with the exception of 17 long side-chains, i.e. Pro13, Met43 and all the Glu, Gln, Lys and Arg, where only one or two resonances of C beta H2 and in some cases C gamma H2 could be identified. The sequential assignments showed that the order of the two C-terminal residues in the previously established primary structure had to be changed; this was then confirmed by chemical methods. The chemical shifts for the assigned resonances at 18 degrees C and 45 degrees C are listed for an aqueous solution at pH 4.9. A preliminary characterization of the polypeptide secondary structure was obtained from the observed patterns of sequential connectivities.  相似文献

Based on the nuclear magnetic resonance assignments of a dimeric protein, Streptomyces subtilisin inhibitor (SSI), microscopic details of secondary structures in solution have been elucidated. The chemical shift index of C(alpha) signals, together with information on the hydrogen exchange rates of the backbone amide protons, were used to identify secondary structures. The locations of these secondary structures were found to be different in some critical points from those determined earlier by X-ray crystallography of the crystal. Notably, the beta3 strand is completely missing and the alpha2 helix is extended toward the C-terminus. Furthermore, hydrogen exchange experiments of individual peptide NH protons under strongly folding conditions revealed mechanisms of global and local structural fluctuation within the dimeric structure. It has been suggested that the global fluctuation of the monomeric unit occurs without affecting the accompanying monomer, in contrast to the equilibrium thermal unfolding, which is cooperative. Higher protection against hydrogen exchange for residues in part of the beta4 strand implies that this region might serve as a folding core.  相似文献
