Terminal spin labeling of xylotriose strongly affects interactions in the active site of xylanase BcX

nmrlearner's Avatar Terminal spin labeling of xylotriose strongly affects interactions in the active site of xylanase BcX

Paramagnetic probes provide long-range distance information and report on minor conformations of biomacromolecules. However, it is important to realize that any probe can affect the system of interest. Here, we report on the effects of attaching a small nitroxide spin label [TEMPO, (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl] to xylotriose, a substrate of the enzyme xylanase from Bacillus circulans (BcX). BcX has a long and narrow active site cleft accommodating six xylose units and a secondary binding site on its surface. The aim of the study was to probe the interactions of the substrate with the enzyme using paramagnetic relaxation enhancements (PREs). Binding of the substrate to the surface exposed secondary binding site resulted in strong and localized PREs, indicative of well-defined binding. The xylotriose with diamagnetic control tag was still able to bind the active site cleft, though the rate of exchange was reduced relative to that of untagged xylotriose. The substrate with the paramagnetic TEMPO was not able to bind inside the active site cleft. Also, additional interactions on another surface location showed differences between the paramagnetic substrate and the diamagnetic control, despite the minimal chemical differences between TEMPO modified xylotriose and its reduced, diamagnetic counterpart. Our findings underscore the sensitivity of BcX substrate binding to minor substrate modifications. This study serves as a reminder that any probe, including the attachment of a small paramagnetic group, can affect the behavior of the system under investigation. Even the chemical difference between a paramagnetic tag and its diamagnetic control can result in differences in the molecular interactions.

[NMR paper] Binding Sites of a PET Ligand in Tau Fibrils with the Alzheimer's Disease Fold from (19)F and (13)C Solid-State NMR

nmrlearner's Avatar Binding Sites of a PET Ligand in Tau Fibrils with the Alzheimer's Disease Fold from (19)F and (13)C Solid-State NMR

Aggregation of the tau protein into cross-? amyloid fibrils is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and many other neurodegenerative disorders. Developing small molecules that bind these tau fibrils is important for the diagnosis and treatment of tauopathies. Here, we report the binding sites of a positron emission tomography (PET) ligand, PI-2620, to a recombinant tau construct that adopts the C-shaped AD fold. Using solid-state NMR ^(13)C-^(19)F rotational-echo double-resonance (REDOR)...

[NMR paper] Rational Design of Lanthanide-Binding Tags to Optimize Magnetic Anisotropy in Paramagnetic Protein NMR
Mar 11, 2025 - 10:54 AM - by nmrlearner
nmrlearner's Avatar Rational Design of Lanthanide-Binding Tags to Optimize Magnetic Anisotropy in Paramagnetic Protein NMR

Due to their exceptional anisotropic magnetic properties, lanthanide ion (Ln^(3+)) complexes are of great utility in many fields of chemistry, including magnetic materials, biomedical imaging, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. How to achieve large magnetic anisotropies in the Ln^(3+) complexes coordinated with open-chain ligands is still a challenge. In this study, we started from the open-chain 4PS-PyMTA ligand and assessed the magnetic anisotropy using installed Ln^(3+)...

[NMR paper] (1)H-NMR-Based Biochemometric Strategy to Identify Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1-Stimulating Compounds from Alpinia officinarum Rhizome

nmrlearner's Avatar (1)H-NMR-Based Biochemometric Strategy to Identify Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1-Stimulating Compounds from Alpinia officinarum Rhizome

This study established a ¹H-NMR-based biochemometric approach for the isolation of biologically active compounds from complex extracts. In both pharmacognosy and natural product chemistry, reliably isolating bioactive compounds typically necessitates repeating time-consuming and laborious isolation and purification steps, presenting a bottleneck in many studies. We applied biochemometric methods to accurately estimate active compounds, thus minimizing the number of assays and isolation steps....
