Structure restraints from heteronuclear pseudocontact shifts generated by lanthanide tags at two different sites
Structure restraints from heteronuclear pseudocontact shifts generated by lanthanide tags at two different sites
Abstract
Pseudocontact shifts (PCS) encode long-range information on 3D structures of protein backbones and side-chains. The level of structural detail that can be obtained increases with the number of different sites tagged with a paramagnetic metal ion to generate PCSs. Here we show that PCSs from two different sites can suffice to determine the structure of polypeptide chains and their location and orientation relative to the magnetic...

Sequence-specific assignment of methyl groups from the neuronal SNARE complex using lanthanide-induced pseudocontact shifts
Sequence-specific assignment of methyl groups from the neuronal SNARE complex using lanthanide-induced pseudocontact shifts
Abstract
Neurotransmitter release depends critically on the neuronal SNARE complex formed by syntaxin-1, SNAP-25 and synaptobrevin, as well as on other proteins such as Munc18-1, Munc13-1 and synaptotagmin-1. Although three-dimensional structures are available for these components, it is still unclear how they are assembled between the synaptic vesicle and plasma membranes to trigger fast, Ca2+-dependent membrane fusion. Methyl...

An encodable lanthanide binding tag with reduced size and flexibility for measuring residual dipolar couplings and pseudocontact shifts in large proteins
An encodable lanthanide binding tag with reduced size and flexibility for measuring residual dipolar couplings and pseudocontact shifts in large proteins
Abstract
Metal ions serve important roles in structural biology applications from long-range perturbations seen in magnetic resonance experiments to electron-dense signatures in X-ray crystallography data; however, the metal ion must be secured in a molecular framework to achieve the maximum benefit. Polypeptide-based lanthanide-binding tags (LBTs) represent one option that can be directly encoded...

Pulse EPR-enabled interpretation of scarce pseudocontact shifts induced by lanthanide binding tags
Pulse EPR-enabled interpretation of scarce pseudocontact shifts induced by lanthanide binding tags
Abstract
Pseudocontact shifts (PCS) induced by tags loaded with paramagnetic lanthanide ions provide powerful long-range structure information, provided the location of the metal ion relative to the target protein is known. Usually, the metal position is determined by fitting the magnetic susceptibility anisotropy (Î?Ï?) tensor to the 3D structure of the protein in an 8-parameter fit, which requires a large set of PCSs to be reliable. In an alternative...

Integral membrane protein structure determination using pseudocontact shifts
Integral membrane protein structure determination using pseudocontact shifts
Abstract
Obtaining enough experimental restraints can be a limiting factor in the NMR structure determination of larger proteins. This is particularly the case for large assemblies such as membrane proteins that have been solubilized in a membrane-mimicking environment. Whilst in such cases extensive deuteration strategies are regularly utilised with the aim to improve the spectral quality, these schemes often limit the number of NOEs obtainable, making complementary...
