Recent studies have shown that lysine side-chain NH3(+) groups are excellent probes for NMR investigations of dynamics involving hydrogen bonds and ion pairs relevant to protein function. However, due to rapid hydrogen exchange, observation of (1)H-(15)N NMR cross peaks from lysine NH3(+) groups often requires use of a relatively low temperature, which renders difficulty in resonance assignment. Here we present an effective strategy to assign (1)H and (15)N resonances of NH3(+) groups at low temperatures. This strategy involves two new (1)H/(13)C/(15)N triple-resonance experiments for lysine side chains. Application to a protein-DNA complex is demonstrated.
最近的研究表明,赖氨酸侧链的NH3(+)基团是用于核磁共振研究与蛋白质功能相关的氢键和离子对动力学的优秀探针。然而,由于氢的快速交换,观察赖氨酸NH3(+)基团的(1)H-(15)N核磁共振交叉峰通常需要使用相对较低的温度,这给共振归属带来了困难。在此,我们提出了一种在低温下归属NH3(+)基团的(1)H和(15)N共振的有效策略。该策略涉及针对赖氨酸侧链的两个新的(1)H/(13)C/(15)N三共振实验。并展示了其在蛋白质-DNA复合物中的应用。
