Studying “Invisible” Excited Protein States in Slow Exchange with a Major State Conformation

Vallurupalli, Pramodh, Bouvignies, Guillaume, Kay, Lewis E.·2012·Journal of the American Chemical Society

Abstract

Ever since its initial development, solution NMR spectroscopy has been used as a tool to study conformational exchange. Although many systems are amenable to relaxation dispersion approaches, cases involving highly skewed populations in slow chemical exchange have, in general, remained recalcitrant to study. Here an experiment to detect and characterize "invisible" excited protein states in slow exchange with a visible ground-state conformation (excited-state lifetimes ranging from ∼5 to 50 ms) is presented. This method, which is an adaptation of the chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) magnetic resonance imaging experiment, involves irradiating various regions of the spectrum with a weak B(1) field while monitoring the effect on the visible major-state peaks. The variation in major-state peak intensities as a function of frequency offset and B(1) field strength is quantified to obtain the minor-state population, its lifetime, and excited-state chemical shifts and line widths. The methodology was validated with (15)N CEST experiments recorded on an SH3 domain-ligand exchanging system and subsequently used to study the folding transition of the A39G FF domain, where the invisible unfolded state has a lifetime of ∼20 ms. Far more accurate exchange parameters and chemical shifts were obtained than via analysis of Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill relaxation dispersion data.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
