Title: Segmental Labeling: Applications to Protein NMR and DNP
Magic‐angle spinning (MAS) NMR coupled with dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) has the possibility to increase the sensitivity of MAS NMR by several orders of magnitude. While DNP enables many experiments that are sensitivity limited, such as those on dilute samples or those that measure long‐range distances, interpretation of DNP NMR spectra is often limited by broad lines and chemical shift degeneracy. Segmental isotopic labeling using split intein technology can provide an opportunity to overcome this issue. Isotopic labeling of only a segment of a protein that is otherwise unlabeled reduces the chemical shift degeneracy. In this article, we describe the current state of the art for producing segmentally isotopically labeled proteins using split inteins. We discuss some of the potential applications of segmental isotopic labeling, particularly those that exploit the increased experimental sensitivity of DNP‐enhanced MAS NMR spectroscopy  more » « less

    The dielectric properties of materials play a crucial role in the propagation and absorption of microwave beams employed in Magic Angle Spinning − Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (MAS-DNP) NMR experiments. Despite ongoing optimization efforts in sample preparation, routine MAS-DNP NMR applications often fall short of theoretical sensitivity limits. Offering a different perspective, we report the refractive indices and extinction coefficients of diverse materials used in MAS-DNP NMR experiments, spanning a frequency range from 70 to 960 GHz. Knowledge of their dielectric properties enables the accurate simulation of electron nutation frequencies, thereby guiding the design of more efficient hardware and sample preparation of biological or material samples. This is illustrated experimentally for four different rotor materials (sapphire, yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), aluminum nitride (AlN), and SiAlON ceramics) used for DNP at 395 GHz/1H 600 MHz. Finally, electromagnetic simulations and state-of-the-art MAS-DNP numerical simulations provide a rational explanation for the observed magnetic field dependence of the enhancement when using nitroxide biradicals, offering insights that will improve MAS-DNP NMR at high magnetic fields.

    With the sensitivity enhancements conferred by dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP), magic angle spinning (MAS) solid state NMR spectroscopy experiments can attain the necessary sensitivity to detect very low concentrations of proteins. This potentially enables structural investigations of proteins at their endogenous levels in their biological contexts where their native stoichiometries with potential interactors is maintained. Yet, even with DNP, experiments are still sensitivity limited. Moreover, when an isotopically-enriched target protein is present at physiological levels, which typically range from low micromolar to nanomolar concentrations, the isotope content from the natural abundance isotopes in the cellular milieu can outnumber the isotope content of the target protein. Using isotopically enriched yeast prion protein, Sup35NM, diluted into natural abundance yeast lysates, we optimized sample composition. We found that modest cryoprotectant concentrations and fully protonated environments support efficient DNP. We experimentally validated theoretical calculations of the limit of specificity for an isotopically enriched protein in natural abundance cellular milieu. We establish that, using pulse sequences that are selective for adjacent NMR-active nuclei, proteins can be specifically detected in cellular milieu at concentrations in the hundreds of nanomolar. Finally, we find that maintaining native stoichiometries of the protein of interest to the components of the cellular environment may be important for proteins that make specific interactions with cellular constituents.

    A significant number of proteins possess sizable intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs). Due to the dynamic nature of IDRs, NMR spectroscopy is often the tool of choice for characterizing these segments. However, the application of NMR to IDRs is often hindered by their instability, spectral overlap and resonance assignment difficulties. Notably, these challenges increase considerably with the size of the IDR. In response to these issues, here we report the use of sortase-mediated ligation (SML) for segmental isotopic labeling of IDR-containing samples. Specifically, we have developed a ligation strategy involving a key segment of the large IDR and adjacent folded headpiece domain comprising the C-terminus of A . thaliana villin 4 (AtVLN4). This procedure significantly reduces the complexity of NMR spectra and enables group identification of signals arising from the labeled IDR fragment, a process we refer to as segmental assignment . The validity of our segmental assignment approach is corroborated by backbone residue-specific assignment of the IDR using a minimal set of standard heteronuclear NMR methods. Using segmental assignment, we further demonstrate that the IDR region adjacent to the headpiece exhibits nonuniform spectral alterations in response to temperature. Subsequent residue-specific characterization revealed two segments within the IDR that responded to temperature in markedly different ways. Overall, this study represents an important step toward the selective labeling and probing of target segments within much larger IDR contexts. Additionally, the approach described offers significant savings in NMR recording time, a valuable advantage for the study of unstable IDRs, their binding interfaces, and functional mechanisms.

    ABSTRACT FtsZ filaments are the major structural component of the bacterial Z ring and are drivers of bacterial division. Crystal structures for FtsZ from some Gram-positive bacteria in the presence of GTP analogs suggest the possibility of a high-energy, “tense” conformation. It remains important to elucidate whether this tense form is the dominant form in filaments. Using dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and differential isotopic labeling, we directly detected residues located at the intermonomer interface of GTP-bound wild-type (WT) Escherichia coli FtsZ filaments. We combined chemical shift prediction, homology modeling, and heteronuclear dipolar recoupling techniques to characterize the E. coli FtsZ filament interface and demonstrated that the monomers in active filaments assume a tense conformation. IMPORTANCE Bacterial replication is dependent on the cytoskeletal protein FtsZ, which forms filaments that scaffold and recruit other essential division proteins. While the FtsZ monomer is well studied across organisms, many questions remain about how the filaments form and function. Recently, a second monomer form was identified in Staphylococcus aureus that has far-reaching implications for FtsZ structure and function. However, to date, this form has not been directly observed outside S. aureus . In this study, we used solid-state NMR and dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) to directly study the filaments of E. coli FtsZ to demonstrate that E. coli FtsZ filaments are primarily composed of this second, “tense” form of the monomer. This work is the first time GTP-bound, wild-type FtsZ filaments have been studied directly at atomic resolution and is an important step forward for the study of FtsZ filaments.

    Obtaining atomic-level information on components in the cell is a major focus in structural biology. Elucidating specific structural and dynamic features of proteins and their interactions in the cellular context is crucial for understanding cellular processes. We introduce19F dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) combined with fast magic-angle-spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy as a powerful technique to study proteins in mammalian cells. We demonstrate our approach on the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 5F-Trp-NNTDprotein, electroporated into human cells. DNP signal enhancements of 30- to 40-fold were observed, translating into over 1000-fold experimental time savings. High signal-to-noise ratio spectra were acquired on nanomole quantities of a protein in cells in minutes. 2D19F-19F dipolar correlation spectra with remarkable sensitivity and resolution were obtained, exhibiting19F-19F cross peaks associated with fluorine atoms as far as ~10 angstroms apart. This work paves the way for19F DNP-enhanced MAS NMR applications in cells for probing protein structure, dynamics, and ligand interactions.
