1H, 13C and 15N resonance assignments of the Calmodulin-Munc13-1 peptide complex

Ca²⁺-Calmodulin binding to the variable N-terminal region of the diacylglycerol/phorbol ester-binding UNC13/Munc13 family of proteins modulates the short-term synaptic plasticity characteristics in neurons. Here, we report the sequential backbone and side chain resonance assignment of the Ca²⁺-Calmodulin/Munc13-1^458–492 peptide complex at pH 6.8 and 35°C (BMRB No. 15470).     

1H, 13C and 15N resonance assignments of RNA pyrophosphohydrolase RppH from Escherichia coli

The mRNA degradation is an important regulatory mechanism which controls gene expression by limiting the number of translation times. Previous studies demonstrated that this process is essential for organisms. Escherichia coli RNA pyrophosphohydrolase (RppH) is an enzyme that triggers mRNA degradation by removing the 5′ pyrophosphate, which is a rate-determining step. In order to understand the molecular mechanism of the biological function, the structural information of RppH is required. Herein, we report the resonance assignments of ¹H, ¹⁵N, ¹³C atoms of the E. coli RppH.     

1H, 13C and 15N resonance assignments of Ca2+ bound collagen-binding domain derived from a clostridial collagenase

¹H, ¹⁵N, and ¹³C NMR assignments for 116 amino acids (Gly893-Lys1008) of a bacterial collagen-binding domain (CBD) derived from Clostridium histolyticum class I collagenase were accomplished. Clostridial collagenases hydrolyze insoluble collagen. One to three copies of collagen-binding domains (CBDs) are present at their C-termini, each of which is the minimal segment required for the binding to the insoluble substrate. CBD has been shown to be able to anchor fused growth factors for up to 10 days in vivo. Structural analysis of the small domain with the unique function provides insights into designing a novel drug delivery vehicle by the rational drug design.     

1H, 13C and 15N resonance assignments of human muscle acylphosphatase

Human muscle acylphosphatase (mAcP) is an enzyme with a ferrodoxin-like topology whose primary role is to hydrolyze the carboxyl-phosphate bonds of acylphosphates. The protein has been widely used as a model system for elucidating the molecular determinants of protein folding and misfolding. We present here the full NMR assignments of the backbone and side chains resonances of mAcP complexed with phosphate, thus providing an important resource for future solution-state NMR spectroscopic studies of the structure and dynamics of this protein in the contexts of protein folding and misfolding.     

1H, 13C and 15N resonance assignments of human parvulin 17

A 25-residue elongation at the N-terminus endows parvulin 17 (Par17) with altered functional properties compared to parvulin 14 (Par14), such as an enhanced influence on microtubule assembly. Therefore the three-dimensional structure of this N-terminal elongation is of particular interest. Here, we report the nearly complete ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N chemical shift assignments of Par17. Subsequent chemical shift index analysis indicated that Par17 features a parvulin-type PPIase domain at the C-terminus, analogous to Par14, and an unstructured N-terminus encompassing the first 60 residues. Hence the N-terminus of Par17 apparently adopts a functionally-relevant structure only in presence of the respective interaction partner(s).     

1H, 13C and 15N resonance assignments for Binder of Arl2, BART

We report ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N resonance assignments for Binder of Arl Two (BART), an effector of the small G protein Arl2. The BMRB accession code is 15914.

1H, 13C and 15N resonance assignments of the Onconase FL-G zymogen

Onconase^® FL-G zymogen is a 120 residue protein produced by circular permutation of the native Onconase^® sequence. In this construction, the wild type N- and C-termini are linked by a 16 residue segment and new N- and C-termini are generated at wild type positions R73 and S72. This novel segment linking the native N- and C-termini is designed to obstruct Onconase’s^® active site and encloses a cleavage site for the HIV-1 protease. As a first step towards the resolution of its 3D structure and the study of its structure–function relationships, we report here the nearly complete NMR ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N resonance chemical shift assignments at pH 5.2 and 35°C (BMRB deposit no 17973). The results presented here clearly show that the structure of the wild type Onconase^® is conserved in the FL-G zymogen.     

1H, 13C and 15N resonance assignments for the fibrillin-1 EGF2-EGF3-hybrid1-cbEGF1 four-domain fragment

Fibrillins are large extracellular glycoproteins that form the principal component of microfibrils. These perform a vital structural function in the extracellular matrix of many tissues. Fibrillins have also been implicated in mediating a number of protein–protein interactions, some of which may be significant in regulating growth factors such as transforming growth factor β. Here we present the backbone and side-chain ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N assignments for a 19 kDa protein fragment derived from the N-terminus of human fibrillin-1, encompassing four domains in total. These domains include the second and third epidermal growth factor-like (EGF) domains, the first hybrid domain (hyb1), and the first calcium-binding EGF domain of fibrillin-1. This region of fibrillin-1 is of particular interest as the hyb1 domain has been suggested to play a role in microfibril assembly, as well as several other protein–protein interactions.     

1H, 15N and 13C assignments of the calcium bound S100P

To determine the three-dimensional solution structure of the calcium bound S100P protein, the backbone and side chain resonance assignments of the S100P protein have been reported based on triple-resonance experiments using uniformly [¹³C, ¹⁵N]-labeled calcium bound protein.     

1H, 13C, and 15N resonance assignments for the CTD-interacting domain of Nrd1 bound to Ser5-phosphorylated CTD of RNA polymerase II

In this article, we report the resonance assignment of CTD-interacting domain (CID) of pre-mRNA down-regulation (Nrd)1 bound to Ser5-phosphorylated CTD (pSer5) of RNA Polymerase II. The presented assignment of backbone and side-chain resonances of the Nrd1 CID proton, carbon and nitrogen nuclei will allow studies of the structure and interaction of CID with carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of the RNA polymerase II.     

Sequence-specific 1H, 13C, and 15N resonance assignments of GRP1 PH domain

The carboxy-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain recruits GRP1 to the plasma membrane through the specific binding to phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PtdIns(3,4,5)P₃]. Here, we describe backbone and side chain assignments of the GRP1 PH domain determined by triple resonance experiments.
