Understanding the structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules is essential to decipher the molecular mechanisms that underlie cellular functions. The description of structure and conformational dynamics often requires the integration of complementary techniques. In this review, we highlight the utility of combining nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy with small angle scattering (SAS) to characterize these challenging biomolecular systems. NMR can assess the structure and...
[NMR paper] Solution structure and dynamics of the mitochondrial-targeted GTPase-activating protein (GAP) VopE by an integrated NMR/SAXS approach
Solution structure and dynamics of the mitochondrial-targeted GTPase-activating protein (GAP) VopE by an integrated NMR/SAXS approach
The bacterial pathogen Vibrio cholerae use a type III secretion system to inject effector proteins into a host cell. Recently, a putative Toxic GTPase Activating Protein (ToxGAP) called VopE was identified as a T3SS substrate and virulence factor that affected host mitochondrial dynamics and immune response. However, biophysical and structural characterization has been absent. Here, we describe solution NMR structure of the putative GAP domain (73-204) of...

[NMR paper] A hybrid strategy combining solution NMR spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry to characterize protein-nanodisc interaction
A hybrid strategy combining solution NMR spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry to characterize protein-nanodisc interaction
NMR is a powerful tool for characterizing intermolecular interactions at atomic resolution. However, the nature of the complex interactions of membrane-binding proteins makes it difficult to elucidate the interaction mechanisms. Here, we demonstrated that structural and thermodynamic analyses using solution NMR spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) can clearly detect a specific interaction between the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain of...

Although functional significance of large noncoding RNAs and their complexes with proteins is well recognized, structural information for this class of systems is very scarce. Their inherent flexibility causes problems in...
