N-terminal domain of HIV-1 p24 capsid protein is a globular fold composed of seven helices and two ?-strands with a flexible structure including the ?4-5 loop and both N- and C-terminal ends. However, the protein shows a high tendency (48%) for an intrinsically disordered structure based on the PONDR VL-XT prediction from the primary sequence. To assess the possibility of marginally stabilized structure under physiological conditions, the N-terminal domain of p24 was destabilized by the addition of an artificial flexible tag to either N- or C-terminal ends, and it was analyzed using T1, T2, hetero-nuclear NOE, and amide-proton exchange experiments. When the C-terminal tag (12 residues) was attached, the regions of the ?3-4 loop and helix 6 as well as the ?4-5 loop attained the flexible structures. Furthermore, in the protein containing the N-terminal tag (27 residues), helix 4 in addition to above-mentioned area including ?3-4 and ?4-5 loops as well as helix 6 exhibited highly disordered structures. Thus, the long-range effects of the existence of tag sequence was observed in the stepwise manner of the appearance of disordered structures (step 1: ?4-5 loop, step 2: ?3-4 loop and helix 6, and step 3: helix 4). Furthermore, the disordered regions in tagged proteins were consistent with the PONDR VL-XT disordered prediction. The dynamic structure located in the middle part (?3-4 loop to helix 6) of the protein shown in this study may be related to the assembly of the viral particle.

Paramagnetic NMR spectroscopy has evolved rapidly in the last decade, and has shown to be a very useful tool for solving structures of protein–protein complexes. A major breakthrough has been the development of paramagnetic metal binding tags that can be attached specifically to the protein. These tags have greatly...
