Platelet basic protein (PBP) (94 residues) is naturally processed via N-terminal cleavage to yield connective tissue activating peptide-III (85 residues), beta-thromboglobulin (81 residues), and neutrophil activating peptide-2 (70 residues). Chemical cross-linking and gel filtration data indicate that each homolog can form dimers and tetramers. Subunit association equilibria for dimer (KD) and tetramer (KT) formation have been derived for each species from 1H NMR (600 MHz) spectral analysis of slowly exchanging (NMR time scale) monomer- dimer-tetramer aggregation state populations. In general, raising the pH from about pH 3.5 to pH 6 increases KD by two to three orders in magnitude and decreases KT by some 50-fold. Ionic strength effects also suggest that intersubunit electrostatic interactions are critical to subunit association. Subunit stabilization can be ranked proportional to N-terminal chain length: platelet basic protein > connective tissue activating peptide-III > beta-thromboglobulin > neutrophil activating peptide-2. Under more physiologic conditions, PBP family monomers are favored at normal cytokine protein concentrations and may form the biologically active state. CD and NMR data indicate conservation of alpha-helix and anti-parallel beta-sheet structure among PBP-related species and support the idea that the extended N terminus folds over and masks the neutrophil activation domain and is part of the intersubunit binding domain.

Structure analysis of membrane-reconstituted subunit c-ring of E. coli H+-ATP synthas
Abstract The subunit c-ring of H+-ATP synthase (Fo c-ring) plays an essential role in the proton translocation across a membrane driven by the electrochemical potential. To understand its structure and function, we have carried out solid-state NMR analysis under magic-angle sample spinning. The uniformly -labeled Fo c from E. coli (EFo c) was reconstituted into lipid membranes as oligomers. Its high resolution two- and three-dimensional spectra were obtained, and the 13C and 15N signals were assigned. The obtained chemical shifts suggested that EFo c takes on a hairpin-type helix-loop-helix...
