Default Solid-state 2H NMR relaxation illuminates functional dynamics of retinal cofactor in membrane activation of rhodopsin [Biophysics and Computational Biology]

Solid-state 2H NMR relaxation illuminates functional dynamics of retinal cofactor in membrane activation of rhodopsin [Biophysics and Computational Biology]

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 retinal ligand that are essential to the activation process. We conducted solid-state 2H NMR relaxation (spin-lattice, T1Z, and quadrupolar-order, T1Q) experiments in the dark, Meta I, and Meta II states of the photoreceptor. Surprisingly, we find the retinylidene methyl groups exhibit site-specific differences in dynamics that change upon light excitation—even more striking, the C9-methyl group is a dynamical hotspot that corresponds to a crucial functional hotspot of rhodopsin. Following 11-cis to trans isomerization, the 2H NMR data suggest the ?-ionone ring remains in its hydrophobic binding pocket in all three states of the protein. We propose a multiscale activation mechanism with a complex energy landscape, whereby the photonic energy is directed against the E2 loop by the C13-methyl group, and toward helices H3 and H5 by the C5-methyl of the ?-ionone ring. Changes in retinal structure and dynamics initiate activating fluctuations of transmembrane helices H5 and H6 in the Meta I–Meta II equilibrium of rhodopsin. Our proposals challenge the Standard Model whereby a single light-activated receptor conformation yields the visual response—rather an ensemble of substates is present, due to the entropy gain produced by photolysis of the inhibitory retinal lock.

Ultrahigh resolution protein structures using NMR chemical shift tensors [Biophysics and Computational Biology]
Ultrahigh resolution protein structures using NMR chemical shift tensors Wylie, B. J., Sperling, L. J., Nieuwkoop, A. J., Franks, W. T., Oldfield, E., Rienstra, C. M.... Date: 2011-10-11 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...

Random phase detection in multidimensional NMR Maciejewski, M. W., Fenwick, M., Schuyler, A. D., Stern, A. S., Gorbatyuk, V., Hoch, J. C.... Date: 2011-10-04 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...

Molecular simulations and solid-state NMR investigate dynamical structure in rhodopsin activation. Molecular simulations and solid-state NMR investigate dynamical structure in rhodopsin activation. Biochim Biophys Acta. 2011 Aug 8; Authors: Mertz B, Struts AV, Feller SE, Brown MF Abstract Rhodopsin has served as the primary model for studying G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)-the largest group in the human genome, and consequently a primary target for pharmaceutical development. Understanding the functions and activation mechanisms of...

Date: 2011-05-31 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...

Structural topology of phospholamban pentamer in lipid bilayers by a hybrid solution and solid-state NMR method Verardi, R., Shi, L., Traaseth, N. J., Walsh, N., Veglia, G.... Date: 2011-05-31 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...

Mapping allostery through the covariance analysis of NMR chemical shifts [Biophysics and Computational Biology]
Mapping allostery through the covariance analysis of NMR chemical shifts Selvaratnam, R., Chowdhury, S., VanSchouwen, B., Melacini, G.... Date: 2011-04-12 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...
