We present a robust solid-state NMR approach for the accurate determination of molecular interfaces in insoluble and noncrystalline protein-protein complexes. The method relies on the measurement of intermolecular (13)C-(13)C distances in mixtures of [1-(13)C]glucose- and [2-(13)C]glucose-labeled proteins. We have applied this method to Parkinson's disease-associated α-synuclein fibrils and found that they are stacked in a parallel in-register arrangement. Additionally, intermolecular distance restraints for the structure determination of the fibrils at atomic resolution were measured.
我们提出了一种稳健的固态 NMR 方法,可用于准确确定不溶性和非晶态蛋白质-蛋白质复合物中的分子界面。该方法依赖于在 [1-(13)C]葡萄糖-和 [2-(13)C]葡萄糖标记的蛋白质混合物中测量分子间(13)C-(13)C 距离。我们已经将此方法应用于帕金森病相关的α-突触核蛋白纤维,并发现它们以平行的方式堆积。此外,还测量了纤维原子分辨率结构测定的分子间距离约束。
