Conformational studies of the synthesized N-terminal cytoplasmic domain of the canine Sec61 gamma protein, an essential protein from the translocation pore of secretory proteins across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, were performed using two-dimensional proton NMR spectroscopy. This canine domain is one of the smallest domains within the homologous protein family and may thus constitute the minimal functional structure. The peptide was solubilized in pure aqueous solution or in the presence of dodecylphosphocholine micelles mimicking a membrane-solution interface. In pure aqueous solution, the peptide is remarkably unfolded. Forming a stable complex with dodecylphosphocholine micelles, it acquires a well-defined alpha-helix-loop-alpha-helix secondary structure, with the helix, highly amphipathic, lying at the micelle surface. The loop comprising four residues is delimited by two flanking helix-capping structures, highly conserved in the whole homologous protein family. No tertiary structure, which could have been revealed by interhelix NOE contacts, was observed. From these experimental results and using general arguments based on sequence information and knowledge of peptide-membrane interactions, a structure of the entire Sec61 gamma protein in membrane bilayers is proposed.
[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] How to study polymer degradation by gamma and X-Ray radiation?
How to study polymer degradation by gamma and X-Ray radiation?
Hi, I was asked to study polyethylene degradated by gamma and Xrays. I planed to measure relaxations rates, but which one is the most relevant to highlight chain degradation? T1, T2, but on 1H or 13C? By reading some articles, I feel T2 is not very interesting, right? T1rho experiments seems to give good results, I have found 2 sequences in Bruker's library, T1rhoX (CP step then variable length spin lock pulse on 13C channel) and T1rhoH (CP step then variable length spin lock pulse on 1H channel), and there is also the more...
