PCS-based structure determination of proteinā??protein complexes
Abstract A simple and fast nuclear magnetic resonance method for docking proteins using pseudo-contact shift (PCS) and 1HN/15N chemical shift perturbation is presented. PCS is induced by a paramagnetic lanthanide ion that is attached to a target protein using a lanthanide binding peptide tag anchored at two points. PCS provides long-range (~40 Ć?) distance and angular restraints between the lanthanide ion and the observed nuclei, while the 1HN/15N chemical shift perturbation data provide loose contact-surface information. The usefulness of this method was demonstrated through the structure determination of the p62 PB1-PB1 complex, which forms a front-to-back 20 kDa homo-oligomer. As p62 PB1 does not intrinsically bind metal ions, the lanthanide binding peptide tag was attached to one subunit of the dimer at two anchoring points. Each monomer was treated as a rigid body and was docked based on the backbone PCS and backbone chemical shift perturbation data. Unlike NOE-based structural determination, this method only requires resonance assignments of the backbone 1HN/15N signals and the PCS data obtained from several sets of two-dimensional 15N-heteronuclear single quantum coherence spectra, thus facilitating rapid structure determination of the proteinā??protein complex.

Fast methionine-based solution structure determination of calcium-calmodulin complexes
Fast methionine-based solution structure determination of calcium-calmodulin complexes
Abstract Here we present a novel NMR method for the structure determination of calcium-calmodulin (Ca2+-CaM)-peptide complexes from a limited set of experimental restraints. A comparison of solved CaM-peptide structures reveals invariability in CaMā??s backbone conformation and a structural plasticity in CaMā??s domain orientation enabled by a flexible linker. Knowing this, the collection and analysis of an extensive set of NOESY spectra is redundant. Although RDCs can define CaM domain orientation in...

This chapter describes nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods that can be used to determine the structures of protein complexes. Many of these techniques are also applicable to other systems (e.g., protein-nucleic acid complexes). In the first section, we discuss methodologies for optimizing the sample conditions for...

Introduction
As the structures of more proteins and domains are solved by structural genomics projects, the future of structural biology will be oriented more toward the study of macromolecular complexes. Since so many biological processes are mediated by interactions between proteins, it is important to study them at a molecular level. The study of protein-protein interactions also has applications in a...
