Despite their importance in macromolecular interactions and functions, the dynamics of lysine side-chain amino groups in proteins are not well understood. In this study, we have developed the methodology for the investigations of the dynamics of lysine NH(3)(+) groups by NMR spectroscopy and computation. By using (1)H-(15)N heteronuclear correlation experiments optimized for (15)NH(3)(+) moieties, we have analyzed the dynamic behavior of individual lysine NH(3)(+) groups in human ubiquitin at 2 °C and pH 5. We modified the theoretical framework developed previously for CH(3) groups and used it to analyze (15)N relaxation data for the NH(3)(+) groups. For six lysine NH(3)(+) groups out of seven in ubiquitin, we have determined model-free order parameters, correlation times for bond rotation, and reorientation of the symmetry axis occurring on a pico- to nanosecond time scale. From CPMG relaxation dispersion experiment for lysine NH(3)(+) groups, slower dynamics occurring on a millisecond time scale have also been detected for Lys27. The NH(3)(+) groups of Lys48, which plays a key role as the linkage site in ubiquitination for proteasomal degradation, was found to be highly mobile with the lowest order parameter among the six NH(3)(+) groups analyzed by NMR. We compared the experimental order parameters for the lysine NH(3)(+) groups with those from a 1 ?s molecular dynamics simulation in explicit solvent and found good agreement between the two. Furthermore, both the computer simulation and the experimental correlation times for the bond rotations of NH(3)(+) groups suggest that their hydrogen bonding is highly dynamic with a subnanosecond lifetime. This study demonstrates the utility of combining NMR experiment and simulation for an in-depth characterization of the dynamics of these functionally most important side-chains of ubiquitin.

Quantifying millisecond time-scale exchange in proteins by CPMG relaxation dispersion NMR spectroscopy of side-chain carbonyl groups
Quantifying millisecond time-scale exchange in proteins by CPMG relaxation dispersion NMR spectroscopy of side-chain carbonyl groups
Abstract A new pulse sequence is presented for the measurement of relaxation dispersion profiles quantifying millisecond time-scale exchange dynamics of side-chain carbonyl groups in uniformly 13C labeled proteins. The methodology has been tested using the 87-residue colicin E7 immunity protein, Im7, which is known to fold via a partially structured low populated intermediate that interconverts with the folded, ground state on the millisecond time-scale....

Protein side chain dynamics is associated with protein stability, folding, and intermolecular interactions. Detailed dynamics information is crucial for the understanding of protein function and biochemical and biophysical properties, which can be obtained using NMR relaxation techniques. In this review, (13)C relaxation of methine, methylene and methyl groups with and without...
