The SH3 domain of the PI3 kinase (PI3-SH3 or PI3K-SH3) readily aggregates into fibrils in vitro and has served as an important model system in the investigation of the molecular properties and mechanism of formation of amyloid fibrils. We describe the molecular conformation of PI3-SH3 in amyloid fibril form as revealed by magic-angle spinning (MAS) solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The MAS NMR spectra of these fibrils display excellent resolution, with narrow (13)C and (15)N line widths, representing a high degree of structural order and the absence of extensive molecular motion for the majority of the polypeptide chain. We have identified the spin systems of 82 of the 86 residues in the protein and obtained sequential resonance assignments for 75 of them. Chemical shift analysis indicates that the protein subunits making up the fibril adopt a compact conformation consisting of four well-defined beta-sheet regions and four random-coil elements with varying degrees of local dynamics or disorder. The backbone conformation of PI3-SH3 in fibril form differs significantly from that of the native state of the protein, both in secondary structure and in the location of dynamic or disordered segments. The site-specific MAS NMR analysis of PI3-SH3 fibrils we report here is compared with previously published mechanistic and structural data, resulting in a detailed interpretation of the factors that mediate fibril formation by PI3-SH3 and allowing us to propose a possible model of the core structure of the fibrils. Our results confirm the structural similarities between PI3-SH3 fibrils and amyloid assemblies directly related to degenerative and infectious diseases.

High dimensional and high resolution pulse sequences for backbone resonance assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins
High dimensional and high resolution pulse sequences for backbone resonance assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins
Abstract Four novel 5D (HACA(N)CONH, HNCOCACB, (HACA)CON(CA)CONH, (H)NCO(NCA)CONH), and one 6D ((H)NCO(N)CACONH) NMR pulse sequences are proposed. The new experiments employ non-uniform sampling that enables achieving high resolution in indirectly detected dimensions. The experiments facilitate resonance assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins. The novel pulse sequences were successfully tested using δ subunit (20 kDa) of Bacillus subtilis RNA polymerase...

Sensitive 13Câ??13C correlation spectra of amyloid fibrils at very high spinning frequencies and magnetic fields
Abstract Sensitive 2D solid-state 13Câ??13C correlation spectra of amyloid β fibrils have been recorded at very fast spinning frequencies and very high magnetic fields. It is demonstrated that PARIS-xy recoupling using moderate rf amplitudes can provide structural information by promoting efficient magnetization transfer even under such challenging experimental conditions. Furthermore, it has been shown both experimentally and by numerical simulations that the method is not...
