1H, 13C and 15N chemical shift assignments of Ninjurin1 Extracellular N-terminal Domain

Cell adhesion molecules play a crucial role in fundamental biological processes via regulating cell–cell interactions. Nerve injury induced protein1 (Ninjurin1) is a novel adhesion protein that has no significant homology with other known cell adhesion molecules. Here we present the assignment of an 81 aa construct for human Ninjurin1 Extracellular N-Terminal (ENT) domain, which comprises the critical adhesion domain.     

1H, 13C and 15N chemical shift assignments for the N-terminal PAS domain of the KCNH channel from Zebrafish

The KCNH channels are voltage-gated potassium channels that play important roles in heart and nerve cells. The N-terminal region of the KCNH channel contains a Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domain which is important for the channel gating through interaction with other regions of the channel. To study the solution structure of the N-terminal PAS domain of the KCNH channel from Zebrafish (zNTD), we over-expressed and purified zNTD. We report the resonance assignments for zNTD. The data will allow us to perform structural studies for this domain, which will provide insight into its structural basis for the molecular interaction with other regions of the KCNH channel.

1H, 13C, and 15N chemical shift assignments of ZCCHC9

ZCCHC9 is a human nuclear protein with sequence homology to yeast Air1p/Air2p proteins which are RNA-binding subunits of the Trf4/Air2/Mtr4 polyadenylation (TRAMP) complex involved in nuclear RNA quality control and degradation in yeast. The ZCCHC9 protein contains four retroviral-type zinc knuckle motifs. Here, we report the NMR spectral assignment of the zinc knuckle region of ZCCHC9. These data will allow performing NMR structural and RNA-binding studies of ZCCHC9 with the aim to investigate its role in the RNA quality control in human.     

1H, 13C and 15N resonance assignments of human H-REV107 N-terminal domain

1H, 13C and 15N resonance assignments of SARS-CoV main protease N-terminal domain

The main protease (M^pro) of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) plays an essential role in the extensive proteolytic processing of the viral polyproteins (pp1a and pp1ab), and it is an important target for anti-SARS drug development. SARS-CoV M^pro is composed of a catalytic N-terminal domain and an α-helical C-terminal domain linked by a long loop. Even though the N-terminal domain of SARS-CoV M^pro adopts a similar chymotrypsin-like fold as that of piconavirus 3C protease, the extra C-terminal domain is required for SARS-CoV M^pro to be enzymatically active. Here, we reported the NMR assignments of the SARS-CoV M^pro N-terminal domain alone, which are essential for its solution structure determination.     

1H, 15N and 13C chemical shift assignments of the Cdt1 binding domain of human Mcm6

The eukaryotic minichromsome maintenance (Mcm) proteins (Mcm2–7) are evolutionally conserved from yeast to human. These proteins are essential for DNA replication and Mcm6 is one subunit of Mcm2–7 complex that serves as the replicative helicase in DNA replication. Cdt1 is a critical member of pre-replicative complex (pre-RC), which directs the chromatin loading of Mcm2–7 complex. The Cdt1 binding domain (CBD) of human Mcm6 was found to directly interact with Cdt1 and this interaction may mediate the chromatin loading of Mcm2–7 complex. The structure of CBD exhibits a typical “winged-helix” fold which is generally involved in protein-nucleic acid interaction. Here we report the ¹H, ¹⁵N and ¹³C chemical shift assignments of human Mcm6 CBD determined by triple resonance experiments. The resonance assignments obtained in this work were required for the structure–function studies of CBD by NMR spectroscopy (BMRB deposits with accession number 16396).     

1H, 15N,and 13C chemical shift assignments of murine calcium-binding protein 4

Calcium-binding protein 4 (CaBP4) regulates voltage-gated Ca²⁺ channels in retinal rod cells and specific mutations within CaBP4 are associated with congenital stationary night blindness type 2.

1H, 13C and 15N resonance assignments of an N-terminal domain of CHD4

Chromatin-remodeling proteins have a pivotal role in normal cell function and development, catalyzing conformational changes in DNA that ultimately result in changes in gene expression patterns. Chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 4 (CHD4), the defining subunit of the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) complex, is a nucleosome-remodeling protein of the SNF2/ISWI2 family, members of which contain two chromo domains and an ATP-dependent helicase module. CHD3, CHD4 and CHD5 also contain two contiguous PHD domains and have an extended N-terminal region that has not previously been characterized. We have identified a stable domain in the N-terminal region of CHD4 and report here the backbone and side chain resonance assignments for this domain at pH 7.5 and 25 °C (BMRB No. 18906).     

1H, 15N, and 13C assignments of the N-terminal activation domain of Dictyostelium discoideum Formin C

Dictyostelium discoideum Formin C (ForC) plays an important role in the fruiting body formation during the multicellular stages of the slime mold. Formins are multidomain proteins that are known to regulate the actin cytoskeleton. Here, we report the assignments of the ¹H, ¹⁵N, and ¹³C nuclei of the N-terminal activation domain (residues 1–100) of ForC. Chemical shifts have been deposited at the BioMagResBank under the BMRB accession number 17,029. The N-terminal region of the 131 kDa ForC protein is supposed to form a GTPase-binding domain required for activation of the formin.
