Abstract:
High-resolution solid-state NMR spectroscopy has become a promising method for the determination of three-dimensional protein structures for systems which are difficult to crystallize or exhibit low solubility. Here we describe the structure determination of microcrystalline ubiquitin using 2D 13C-13C correlation spectroscopy under magic angle spinning conditions. High-resolution 13C spectra have been acquired from hydrated microcrystals of site-directed 13C-enriched ubiquitin. Interresidue carbon-carbon distance constraints defining the global protein structure have been evaluated from 'dipolar-assisted rotational resonance' experiments recorded at various mixing times. Additional constraints on the backbone torsion angles have been derived from chemical shift analysis. Using both distance and dihedral angle constraints, the structure of microcrystalline ubiquitin has been refined to a root-mean-square deviation of about 1 Å. The structure determination strategies for solid samples described herein are likely to be generally applicable to many proteins that cannot be studied by X-ray crystallography or solution NMR spectroscopy.

Current interest in amyloid fibrils stems from their involvement in neurodegenerative and other diseases and from their role as an alternative structural state for many peptides and proteins. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods have the unique capability of providing detailed structural constraints for amyloid fibrils, sufficient for the development of full molecular models.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and particularly solid-state NMR spectroscopy, is a method of choice to study the structure and dynamics of both the lipid and the protein components of model and biological membranes. Different approaches have been developed to study these systems in which the restricted molecular motions result in broad NMR spectra. This...
