The Tropomyosin 1 isoform I/C C-terminal domain (Tm1-LC) fibril structure is studied jointly with cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). This study demonstrates the complementary nature of these two structural biology techniques. Chemical shift assignments from solid state NMR are used to determine the secondary structure at the level of individual amino acids, which is faithfully seen in cryo-EM reconstructions. Additionally, solid state NMR...

Structural and dynamical investigation of histone H2B in well-hydrated nucleosome core particles by solid-state NMR
H2A-H2B dimer is a key component of nucleosomes and an important player in chromatin biology. Here, we characterized the structure and dynamics of H2B in precipitated nucleosome core particles (NCPs) with a physiologically relevant concentration using solid-state NMR. Our recent investigation of H3-H4 tetramer determined its unique dynamic properties and the present work provides a deeper understanding of the previously observed dynamic networks in NCP that is potentially...
