The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Vpu enhances viral particle release and, its interaction with the ubiquitin ligase SCF-beta-TrCP triggers the HIV-1 receptor CD4 degradation by the proteasome. The interaction between beta-TrCP protein and ligands containing the phosphorylated DpSGXXpS motif plays a key role for the development of severe disease states, such as HIV or cancer. This study examines the binding and conformation of phosphopeptides (P1, LIERAEDpSG and P2, EDpSGNEpSE) from HIV protein Vpu to beta-TrCP with the objective of defining the minimum length of peptide needed for effective binding. The screening step can be analyzed by NMR spectroscopy, in particular, saturation transfer NMR methods clearly identify the residues in the peptide that make direct contact with beta-TrCP protein when bound. An analysis of saturation transfer difference (STD) spectra provided clear evidence that the two peptides efficiently bound beta-TrCP receptor protein. To better characterize the ligand-protein interaction, the bound conformation of the phosphorylated peptides was determined using transferred NOESY methods, which gave rise to a well-defined structure. P1 and P2 can fold in a bend arrangement for the DpSG motif, showing the protons identified by STD-NMR as exposed in close proximity at the molecule surface. Ser phosphorylation allows electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bond with the amino acids of the beta-TrCP binding pocket. The upstream LIER hydrophobic region was also essential in binding to a hydrophobic pocket of the beta-TrCP WD domain. These findings are in good agreement with a recently published X-ray structure of a shorter beta-Catenin fragment with the beta-TrCP complex.

Without crystallographic data, NMR has emerged as the best way to define protein-ligand interactions. Using NMR experiments based on magnetization transfer, one can select molecules bound, estimate the dissociation constant, identify contacts implied in the binding, obtain a structure of the bound ligand and make...
