Convenient method for resolving degeneracies due to symmetry of the magnetic susceptibility tensor and its application to pseudo contact shift-based proteinâ??protein complex structure determination
Abstract Pseudo contact shifts (PCSs) induced by paramagnetic lanthanide ions fixed in a protein frame provide long-range distance and angular information, and are valuable for the structure determination of proteinâ??protein and proteinâ??ligand complexes. We have been developing a lanthanide-binding peptide tag (hereafter LBT) anchored at two points via a peptide bond and a disulfide bond to the target proteins. However, the magnetic susceptibility tensor displays symmetry, which can cause multiple degenerated solutions in a structure calculation based solely on PCSs. Here we show a convenient method for resolving this degeneracy by changing the spacer length between the LBT and target protein. We applied this approach to PCS-based rigid body docking between the FKBP12-rapamycin complex and the mTOR FRB domain, and demonstrated that degeneracy could be resolved using the PCS restraints obtained from two-point anchored LBT with two different spacer lengths. The present strategy will markedly increase the usefulness of two-point anchored LBT for protein complex structure determination.

Chemical shift correlation at high MAS frequencies employing low-power symmetry-based mixing schemes
Chemical shift correlation at high MAS frequencies employing low-power symmetry-based mixing schemes
Abstract An approach for conveniently implementing low-power CN n ν and RN n ν symmetry-based band-selective mixing sequences for generating homo- and heteronuclear chemical shift correlation NMR spectra of low γ nuclei in biological solids is demonstrated. Efficient magnetisation transfer characteristics are achieved by selecting appropriate symmetries requiring the application of basic RF elements of relatively long duration and numerically tailoring the RF field modulation profile...

PCS-based structure determination of proteinâ??protein complexes
Abstract A simple and fast nuclear magnetic resonance method for docking proteins using pseudo-contact shift (PCS) and 1HN/15N chemical shift perturbation is presented. PCS is induced by a paramagnetic lanthanide ion that is attached to a target protein using a lanthanide binding peptide tag anchored at two points. PCS provides long-range (~40 Ã?) distance and angular restraints between the lanthanide ion and the observed nuclei, while the 1HN/15N chemical shift perturbation data provide loose contact-surface information. The usefulness of this method was demonstrated through the structure...
