Despite advances in resolution accompanying the development of high-field superconducting magnets, biomolecular applications of NMR require multiple dimensions in order to resolve individual resonances, and the achievable resolution is typically limited by practical constraints on measuring time. In addition to the need for measuring long evolution times to obtain high resolution, the need to distinguish the sign of the frequency constrains the ability to shorten measuring times. Sign discrimination is typically accomplished by sampling the signal with two different receiver phases or by selecting a reference frequency outside the range of frequencies spanned by the signal and then sampling at a higher rate. In the parametrically sampled (indirect) time dimensions of multidimensional NMR experiments, either method imposes an additional factor of 2 sampling burden for each dimension. We demonstrate that by using a single detector phase at each time sample point, but randomly altering the phase for different points, the sign ambiguity that attends fixed single-phase detection is resolved. Random phase detection enables a reduction in experiment time by a factor of 2 for each indirect dimension, amounting to a factor of 8 for a four-dimensional experiment, albeit at the cost of introducing sampling artifacts. Alternatively, for fixed measuring time, random phase detection can be used to double resolution in each indirect dimension. Random phase detection is complementary to nonuniform sampling methods, and their combination offers the potential for additional benefits. In addition to applications in biomolecular NMR, random phase detection could be useful in magnetic resonance imaging and other signal processing contexts. Read More

NMR chemical shift tensors (CSTs) in proteins, as well as their orientations, represent an important new restraint class for protein structure refinement and determination. Here, we present the first determination of both CST magnitudes and orientations for 13C? and 15N (peptide backbone) groups in a protein, the ?1 IgG binding domain of protein G from Streptococcus spp., GB1. Site-specific 13C? and...

Chromatin structure and function are regulated by numerous proteins through specific binding to nucleosomes. The structural basis of many of these interactions is unknown, as in the case of the high mobility group nucleosomal (HMGN) protein family that regulates various chromatin functions, including transcription. Here, we report the architecture of the HMGN2-nucleosome...

The intra- and intermolecular translocation processes whereby the bi-domain transcription factor Oct1 searches for its specific DNA target site have been investigated by residual dipolar coupling (RDC) and paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) measurements. The RDC data show that the orientation of the POUS and POUHD domains of Oct1 relative to the long axis of the DNA is the same for specific and...

Detailed understanding of protein function and malfunction hinges on the ability to characterize transiently populated states and the transitions between them. Here, we use 15N, , and 13CO NMR R2 relaxation dispersion to investigate spontaneous unfolding and refolding events of native apomyoglobin. Above pH 5.0, dispersion is dominated by processes involving fluctuations of the F-helix region, which...

Phospholamban (PLN) is a type II membrane protein that inhibits the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA), thereby regulating calcium homeostasis in cardiac muscle. In membranes, PLN forms pentamers that have been proposed to function either as a storage for active monomers or as ion channels. Here, we report the T-state structure of pentameric PLN solved by a hybrid solution and...

Rhodopsin is a canonical member of the family of G protein-coupled receptors, which transmit signals across cellular membranes and are linked to many drug interventions in humans. Here we show that solid-state 2H NMR relaxation allows investigation of light-induced changes in local ps–ns time scale motions of retinal bound to rhodopsin. Site-specific 2H labels were introduced into methyl groups of the...

Protein kinase A (PKA) is a ubiquitous phosphoryl transferase that mediates hundreds of cell signaling events. During turnover, its catalytic subunit (PKA-C) interconverts between three major conformational states (open, intermediate, and closed) that are dynamically and allosterically activated by nucleotide binding. We show that the structural transitions between these...

Allostery is a fundamental mechanism of regulation in biology. The residues at the end points of long-range allosteric perturbations are commonly identified by the comparative analyses of structures and dynamics in apo and effector-bound states. However, the networks of interactions mediating the propagation of allosteric signals between the end points often remain elusive. Here we show that the covariance analysis of NMR chemical...
