Abstract:
We applied a combination of 15N relaxation and CSA/dipolar cross-correlation measurements at five magnetic fields (9.4, 11.7, 14.1, 16.4, and 18.8 T) to determine the 15N chemical shielding tensors for backbone amides in protein G in solution. The data were analyzed using various model-independent approaches and those based on Lipari-Szabo approximation, all of them yielding similar results. The results indicate a range of site-specific values of the anisotropy (CSA) and orientation of the 15N chemical shielding tensor, similar to those in ubiquitin (Fushman, et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1998, 120, 10947; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1999, 121, 8577). Assuming a Gaussian distribution of the 15N CSA values, the mean anisotropy is -173.9 to -177.2 ppm (for 1.02 Å NH bond length) and the site-to-site CSA variability is ±17.6 to ±21.4 ppm, depending on the method used. This CSA variability is significantly larger than derived previously for ribonuclease H (Kroenke, et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1999, 121, 10119) or recently, using "meta-analysis" for ubiquitin (Damberg, et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 1995). Standard interpretation of 15N relaxation studies of backbone dynamics in proteins involves an a priori assumption of a uniform 15N CSA. We show that this assumption leads to a significant discrepancy between the order parameters obtained at different fields. Using the site-specific CSAs obtained from our study removes this discrepancy and allows simultaneous fit of relaxation data at all five fields to Lipari-Szabo spectral densities. These findings emphasize the necessity of taking into account the variability of 15N CSA for accurate analysis of protein dynamics from 15N relaxation measurements.

Backbone resonance assignment and order tensor estimation using residual dipolar couplings
Backbone resonance assignment and order tensor estimation using residual dipolar couplings
Abstract An NMR investigation of proteins with known X-ray structures is of interest in a number of endeavors. Performing these studies through nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) requires the costly step of resonance assignment. The prevalent assignment strategy does not make use of existing structural information and requires uniform isotope labeling. Here we present a rapid and cost-effective method of assigning NMR data to an existing structureâ??either an X-ray or computationally modeled...

1H NMR-based metabolic profiling reveals inherent biological variation in yeast and nematode model systems
Abstract The application of metabolomics to human and animal model systems is poised to provide great insight into our understanding of disease etiology and the metabolic changes that are associated with these conditions. However, metabolomic studies have also revealed that there is significant, inherent biological variation in human samples and even in samples from animal model systems where the animals are housed under carefully controlled conditions. This inherent biological...

chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) in model-free approach
Hi !
I have a quite general question about the value used for the CSA while studying protein dynamics of 15N-1H vectors with model-free approach.
In the litterature, we mainly find two values for the CSA (-160 and -172 ppm).
There is, if I understand well, a link between the bond length and the CSA, but everyone seems to agree about using the same value of 1.02 A which should give rise to a mean S2 of 0.85 for secondary structure when combined to a CSA of -172 ppm. When using a CSA of -160 ppm, the mean S2 for secondary structure should slightly rise up from 0.85.
The manuals for...

Order tensor
Hello,
I have some questions regarding the alignment matrix and I will be very much grateful if you could clarify my doubts.
Question 1:
1) I like to calculate the angle between the magnetic field and X,Y & Z axes of the alignment frame. For that, I have run PALES and got the values for Sxx, Sxy, Sxz, Syy & Syz. From Sxx value I have calculated cos(tx) and cos(ty) from Syy. Substituting these values in 1/2(3cos(tx)*cos(ty)), I calculated Sxy. But, this calculated value does not match with Sxy obtained from PALES.
Question 2:
I found that the saupe parameters are in the order of 10...

Refinement against order parameter with XPLOR
New 2.10 release of XPLOR-NIH can now do a refinement against order parameters. You can get an idea what this refinement can be used for from the this paper.
Info about new features of XPLOR-NIH 2.10 from XPLOR-NIH website: - new parameter/topology file naming convention: NMR protein refinement should now use topology file protein.top and parameter file protein.par.
- new command: tclXplor which calls xplor -tcl. Can be used as command interpreter
- new potential term OrderPot to enable refinement against order parameters.
- update to PrePot from Junji Iwahara
- CSAPot: 15N CSAs...

CSA variation: how reliable model-free dynamics is
The following paper shows, in particular, how site-specific variations of 15N chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) can cause under- and overestimation of protein mobility that is inferred from the order parameter of model-free analysis.
Limited variations in 15N CSA magnitudes and orientations in ubiquitin are revealed by joint analysis of longitudinal and transverse NMR relaxation.
