Anomalous NMR behavior of the hydroxyl proton resonance for Ser 31 has been reported for histidine-containing protein (HPr) from two microorganisms: Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The unusual slow exchange and chemical shift exhibited by the resonance led to the proposal that the hydroxyl group is involved in a strong hydrogen bond. To test this hypothesis and to characterize the importance of such an interaction, a mutant in which Ser 31 is replaced by an alanine was generated in HPr from Escherichia coli. The activity, stability, and structure of the mutant HPr were assessed using a reconstituted assay system, analysis of solvent denaturation curves, and NMR, respectively. Substitution of Ser 31 yields a fully functional protein that is only slightly less stable (delta delta G(folding) = 0.46 +/- 0.15 kcal mol-1) than the wild type. The NMR results confirm the identity of the hydrogen bond acceptor as Asp 69 and reveal that it exists as the gauche- conformer in wild-type HPr in solution but exhibits conformational averaging in the mutant protein. The side chain of Asp 69 interacts with two main-chain amide proteins in addition to its interaction with the side chain of Ser 31 in the wild-type protein. These results indicate that removal of the serine has led to the loss of all three hydrogen bond interactions involving Asp 69, suggesting a cooperative network of interactions. A complete analysis of the thermodynamics was performed in which differences in side-chain hydrophobicity and conformational entropy between the two proteins are accounted for.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] Side chain assignment of C-terminal residue
Side chain assignment of C-terminal residue
Dear Friends,
I am not able to figure out how to determine the side chain assignment of Last C-terminal SERINE residue of my protein. I can determine CA, CB, CO, N,H values from HNCA, CBCANH, HNCACO. Can someone tell which experiment will give me the information of HA, HB2 and HB3
Regards
Arun

Alternative side-chain structures from methyl CPMG
http://www.researchblogging.org/public/citation_icons/rb2_large_gray.pngAs I have mentioned before on this blog, the use of tools like CS-ROSETTA holds the promise of determining protein structures using only the chemical shifts of its backbone atoms. In addition to potentially making NOEs and RDCs redundant, this technology allows biologists to determine the conformations of minor members of the structural ensemble, which are very difficult to obtain using conventional approaches in population-dominated techniques like NMR and X-ray...

Protein Pept Lett. 2011 Jan 11;
Authors: Yang D
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...
