Abstract
BACKGROUND: Detailed structural knowledge of enzyme-inhibitor complexes trapped in intermediate state is the key for a fundamental understanding of reaction mechanisms taking place in enzymes and is indispensable as a structure-guided drug design tool. Solution state NMR uniquely allows the study of active sites of enzymes in equilibrium between different tautomeric forms. In this study 1H, 19F and 15 N NMR spectroscopy has been used to probe the interaction contacts of inhibitors locked in transition states of the catalytic triad of a serine protease. It was demonstrated on the serotype II Dengue virus NS2B:NS3pro serine protease and its mutants, H51N and S135A, in complex with high-affinity ligands containing trifluoromethyl ketone (tfk) and boronic groups in the C-terminal of tetra-peptides.
RESULTS: Monitoring 19F resonances, shows that only one of the two isomers of the tfk tetra-peptide binds with NS2B:NS3pro and that access to the bulk of the active site is limited. Moreover, there were no bound water found in proximity of the active site for any of the ligands manifesting in a favorable condition for formation of low barrier hydrogen bonds (LBHB) in the catalytic triad. Based on this data we were able to identify a locked conformation of the protein active site. The data also indicates that the different parts of the binding site most likely act independently of each other.
CONCLUSIONS: Our reported findings increases the knowledge of the detailed function of the catalytic triad in serine proteases and could facilitate the development of rational structure based inhibitors that can selectively target the NS3 protease of Dengue type II (DENV2) virus. In addition the results shows the usefulness of probing active sites using 19F NMR spectroscopy.

Probing water-protein contacts in a MMP-12/CGS27023A complex by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
Probing water-protein contacts in a MMP-12/CGS27023A complex by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
Abstract Using the case of the catalytic domain of MMP-12 in complex with the known inhibitor CGS27023A, a recently assembled 3D 15N-edited/14N,12C-filtered ROESY experiment is used to monitor and distinguish protein amide protons in fast exchange with bulk water from amide protons close to water molecules with longer residence times, the latter possibly reflecting water molecules of structural or functional importance. The 15N-edited/14N,12C-filtered ROESY spectra were compared to...

Using the water signal to detect invisible exchanging protons in the catalytic triad of a serine protease
Using the water signal to detect invisible exchanging protons in the catalytic triad of a serine protease
Abstract Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST) is an MRI approach that can indirectly detect exchange broadened protons that are invisible in traditional NMR spectra. We modified the CEST pulse sequence for use on high-resolution spectrometers and developed a quantitative approach for measuring exchange rates based upon CEST spectra. This new methodology was applied to the rapidly exchanging Hδ1 and Hε2 protons of His57 in the catalytic triad of bovine chymotrypsinogen-A...
