An integrated approach of NMR experiments and MD simulations visualizes structural dynamics of a cyclic multi-domain protein

nmrlearner's Avatar An integrated approach of NMR experiments and MD simulations visualizes structural dynamics of a cyclic multi-domain protein

Abstract

Cyclization can stabilize the structure of proteins, as previously demonstrated in single-domain proteins. Although Lys48-linked polyubiquitin, a multi-domain protein, is also known to be cyclized in human cells, the structural effects of cyclization remain unclear. Here, we examined the impact of cyclization on the structural stability and dynamics of cyclic Lys48-linked diubiquitin (Ub2). As expected, cyclization increased the thermal stability of Ub2 and its resistance to proteolytic digestion, indicating that cyclization stabilized the structure of Ub2. Furthermore, cyclization repressed the interdomain motion in Ub2, but cyclic Ub2 still exhibited microsecond conformational exchange in NMR relaxation dispersion experiments. A series of long coarse-grained (CG) MD simulations visualized how cyclization slowed down the intrinsic nanosecond open-closed domain motion of Ub2 to microseconds. Thus, CG-MD analysis helped to explain the unexpected NMR relaxation results, thereby facilitating characterization of the structural stabilization of cyclic Ub2.

[NMR paper] Characterization of Bioactivity of Selective Molecules in Fruit Wines by FTIR and NMR Spectroscopies, Fluorescence and Docking Calculations

nmrlearner's Avatar Characterization of Bioactivity of Selective Molecules in Fruit Wines by FTIR and NMR Spectroscopies, Fluorescence and Docking Calculations

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR) spectroscopies were applied to characterize and compare the chemical shifts in the polyphenols' regions of some fruit wines. The obtained results showed that FTIR spectra (1800-900 cm^(-1)) and ¹H NMR (? 6.5-9.3 ppm) of different fruit wines can be used as main indices of the year of vintage and quality of fruit wines. In addition to the classical determination of antioxidant profiles and bioactive substances in...

[NMR paper] Unique epitope-antibody interactions in the intrinsically disordered proteoglycan-like domain of human carbonic anhydrase IX defined by high-resolution NMR combined with yeast surface display

nmrlearner's Avatar Unique epitope-antibody interactions in the intrinsically disordered proteoglycan-like domain of human carbonic anhydrase IX defined by high-resolution NMR combined with yeast surface display

Carbonic anhydrase (CA)-IX is an extracellular enzyme that is essential in the adaptation of tumor cells to their increasingly more hypoxic and acidic microenvironment. Within the family of carbonic anhydrases, CA-IX is unique in that it is the only CA with an N-terminal intrinsically disordered region (IDR) containing a proteoglycan (PG)-like domain. This PG-like IDR has been described to be instrumental in CA-IX's enzyme activity, as well as tumor cell motility and invasion. We have...

nmrlearner's Avatar Binding Affinity Studies of Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase and Ligands by Saturation Transfer Difference NMR

CONCLUSION: The binding affinity of nicotinamide and SAH to NNMT and its mutants were obtained by STD NMR in this study. It was found that nicotinamide and SAH bind to WT in a particular orientation, and Y20 is critical for their binding orientation and affinity to NNMT.

[NMR paper] Fluoride permeation mechanism of the Fluc channel in liposomes revealed by solid-state NMR
Aug 25, 2023 - 2:40 PM - by nmrlearner
nmrlearner's Avatar Fluoride permeation mechanism of the Fluc channel in liposomes revealed by solid-state NMR

Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) methods can probe the motions of membrane proteins in liposomes at the atomic level and propel the understanding of biomolecular processes for which static structures cannot provide a satisfactory description. In this work, we report our study on the fluoride channel Fluc-Ec1 in phospholipid bilayers based on ssNMR and molecular dynamics simulations. Previously unidentified fluoride binding sites in the aqueous vestibules were experimentally...
