[NMR paper] Activation of caspase-9 on the apoptosome as studied by methyl-TROSY NMR
Dec 13, 2023 - 12:23 AM - by nmrlearner
nmrlearner's Avatar Activation of caspase-9 on the apoptosome as studied by methyl-TROSY NMR

Mitochondrial apoptotic signaling cascades lead to the formation of the apoptosome, a 1.1-MDa heptameric protein scaffold that recruits and activates the caspase-9 protease. Once activated, caspase-9 cleaves and activates downstream effector caspases, triggering the onset of cell death through caspase-mediated proteolysis of cellular proteins. Failure to activate caspase-9 enables the evasion of programmed cell death, which occurs in various forms of cancer. Despite the critical apoptotic...

19F-NMR studies of the impact of different detergents and nanodiscs on the A2A adenosine receptor

nmrlearner's Avatar 19F-NMR studies of the impact of different detergents and nanodiscs on the A2A adenosine receptor

Abstract

For the A2A adenosine receptor (A2AAR), a class A G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), reconstituted in n-dodecyl-β-D-maltoside (DDM)/â??â??â??â??â??cholesteryl hemisuccinate (CHS) mixed micelles, previous 19F-NMR studies revealed the presence of multiple simultaneously populated conformational states. Here, we study the influence of a different detergent, lauryl maltose neopentyl glycol (LMNG) in mixed micelles with CHS, and of lipid bilayer nanodiscs on these conformational equilibria. The populations of locally different substates are pronouncedly different in DDM/â??â??â??â??â??CHS and LMNG/â??â??â??â??â??CHS micelles, whereas the A2AAR conformational manifold in LMNG/â??â??â??â??â??CHS micelles is closely similar to that in the lipid bilayer nanodiscs. Considering that nanodiscs represent a closer match of the natural lipid bilayer membrane, these observations support that LMNG/â??â??â??â??â??CHS micelles are a good choice for reconstitution trials of class A GPCRs for NMR studies in solution.

[NMR paper] NMR Structural Study of Syndecan-4 Transmembrane Domain with Cytoplasmic Region
Dec 09, 2023 - 5:06 PM - by nmrlearner
nmrlearner's Avatar NMR Structural Study of Syndecan-4 Transmembrane Domain with Cytoplasmic Region

Syndecan-4 (SDC4) consists of transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) belonging to the syndecan family. It is present in most cell types of Mammalia. Its structure contains a heparan-sulfate-modified extracellular domain, a single transmembrane domain, and a short C-terminal cytoplasmic domain. Regarding the overall cellular function of SDC4, other cells or ligands can bind to its ecto-domain. In addition, 4,5-bisphosphate phosphatidylinositol (PIP(2)) or protein kinase C? can bind to...

[NMR paper] Affinity measurement of strong ligands with NMR spectroscopy: Limitations and ways to overcome them
Dec 09, 2023 - 5:06 PM - by nmrlearner
nmrlearner's Avatar Affinity measurement of strong ligands with NMR spectroscopy: Limitations and ways to overcome them

NMR spectroscopy is currently extensively used in binding assays for hit identification, but its use in dissociation constant determination is more limited when compared to other biophysical techniques, in particular for tight binders. Although NMR is quite suitable for measuring the binding strength of weak to medium affinity ligands with dissociation constant K(D) > 1 ?M, it has some limitations in the determination of the binding strength of tight binders (K(D) < 1 ?M). A theoretical analysis...
