[NMR paper] The Disordered EZH2 Loop: Atomic Level Characterization by 1HN- and 1H?-Detected NMR Approaches, Interaction with the Long Noncoding HOTAIR RNA
The 96-residue-long loop of EZH2 is proposed to play a role in the interaction with long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and to contribute to EZH2 recruitment to the chromatin. However, molecular details of RNA recognition have not been described so far. Cellular studies have suggested that phosphorylation of the Thr345 residue localized in this loop influences RNA binding; however, no mechanistic explanation has been offered. To address these issues, a systematic NMR study was performed. As the...
[NMR paper] Atomic-resolution chemical characterization of (2x)72-kDa tryptophan synthase via four- and five-dimensional (1)H-detected solid-state NMR
Atomic-resolution chemical characterization of (2x)72-kDa tryptophan synthase via four- and five-dimensional (1)H-detected solid-state NMR
NMR chemical shifts provide detailed information on the chemical properties of molecules, thereby complementing structural data from techniques like X-ray crystallography and electron microscopy. Detailed analysis of protein NMR data, however, often hinges on comprehensive, site-specific assignment of backbone resonances, which becomes a bottleneck for molecular weights beyond 40 to 45 kDa. Here, we show that assignments for the (2x)72-kDa protein...

The protein collects in membrane-less organelles, where it may use its low-complexity domain to stick together, much in the way that water collects into droplets on the outside of a cold soda bottle on a humid summer day. Until the publication of this ...

High-field ELDOR-detected NMR study of a nitroxide radical in disordered solids: Towards characterization of heterogeneity of microenvironments in spin-labeled systems
From The DNP-NMR Blog:
High-field ELDOR-detected NMR study of a nitroxide radical in disordered solids: Towards characterization of heterogeneity of microenvironments in spin-labeled systems
With nitroxides one of the most popular polarizing agents for DNP-NMR spectroscopy, this article gives more insights into the precise interactions (hyperfine, quadrupolar, g anisotropy ...) at high magnetic fields.
