COLMARppm: A Web Server Tool for the Accurate and Rapid Prediction of (1)H and (13)C NMR Chemical Shifts of Organic Molecules and Metabolites

2 months 4 weeks ago
Despite rapid progress in metabolomics research, a major bottleneck is the large number of metabolites whose chemical structures are unknown or whose spectra have not been deposited in metabolomics databases. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has a long history of elucidating chemical structures from experimentally measured ¹H and ^(13)C chemical shifts. One approach to characterizing the chemical structures of an unknown metabolite is to predict the ¹H and ^(13)C chemical shifts of...

NMR (1)H, (13)C, (15)N backbone resonance assignments of wild-type human K-Ras and its oncogenic mutants G12D and G12C bound to GTP

4 months 2 weeks ago
Human K-Ras protein, which is a member of the GTPase Ras family, hydrolyzes GTP to GDP and concomitantly converts from its active to its inactive state. It is a key oncoprotein, because several mutations, particularly those at residue position 12, occur with a high frequency in a wide range of human cancers. The K-Ras protein is therefore an important target for developing therapeutic anti-cancer agents. In this work we report the almost complete sequence-specific resonance assignments of...

Predicting protein flexibility with AlphaFold

1 year 2 months ago
AlphaFold2 has revolutionized protein structure prediction from amino-acid sequence. In addition to protein structures, high-resolution dynamics information about various protein regions is important for understanding protein function. Although AlphaFold2 has neither been designed nor trained to predict protein dynamics, it is shown here how the information returned by AlphaFold2 can be used to predict dynamic protein regions at the individual residue level. The approach, which is termed cdsAF2,...

Differential metabolism between biofilm and suspended Pseudomonas aeruginosa cultures in bovine synovial fluid by 2D NMR-based metabolomics

1 year 5 months ago
Total joint arthroplasty is a common surgical procedure resulting in improved quality of life; however, a leading cause of surgery failure is infection. Periprosthetic joint infections often involve biofilms, making treatment challenging. The metabolic state of pathogens in the joint space and mechanism of their tolerance to antibiotics and host defenses are not well understood. Thus, there is a critical need for increased understanding of the physiological state of pathogens in the joint space...

Cadaverine Is a Switch in the Lysine Degradation Pathway in <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em> Biofilm Identified by Untargeted Metabolomics

2 years ago
There is a critical need to accurately diagnose, prevent, and treat biofilms in humans. The biofilm forming P. aeruginosa bacteria can cause acute and chronic infections, which are difficult to treat due to their ability to evade host defenses along with an inherent antibiotic-tolerance. Using an untargeted NMR-based metabolomics approach, we identified statistically significant differences in 52 metabolites between P. aeruginosa grown in the planktonic and lawn biofilm states. Among them, the...

Observation of Sub-Microsecond Protein Methyl-Side Chain Dynamics by Nanoparticle-Assisted NMR Spin Relaxation

2 years 7 months ago
Amino-acid side-chain properties in proteins are key determinants of protein function. NMR spin relaxation of side chains is an important source of information about local protein dynamics and flexibility. However, traditional solution NMR relaxation methods are most sensitive to sub-nanosecond dynamics lacking information on slower ns-μs time-scale motions. Nanoparticle-assisted NMR spin relaxation (NASR) of methyl-side chains is introduced here as a window into these ns-μs dynamics. NASR...

Increasing sensitivity and versatility in NMR supersequences with new HSQC-based modules

2 years 8 months ago
The sensitivity-enhanced HSQC, as well as HSQC-TOCSY, experiments have been modified for incorporation into NOAH (NMR by Ordered Acquisition using ¹H detection) supersequences, adding diversity for ^(13)C and ^(15)N modules. Importantly, these heteronuclear modules have been specifically tailored to preserve the magnetisation required for subsequent acquisition of other heteronuclear or homonuclear modules in a supersequence. In addition, we present protocols for optimally combining HSQC and...

From Selection to Instruction and Back: Competing Conformational Selection and Induced Fit Pathways in Abiotic Hosts

2 years 9 months ago
Two limiting cases of molecular recognition, induced fit (IF) and conformational selection (CS), play a central role in allosteric regulation of natural systems. The IF paradigm states that a substrate "instructs" the host to change its shape after complexation, while CS asserts that a guest "selects" the optimal fit from an ensemble of preexisting host conformations. With no studies that quantitatively address the interplay of two limiting pathways in abiotic systems, we herein and for the...

Rational design of cell-permeable cyclic peptides containing a d-Pro-l-Pro motif

3 years 5 months ago
Cyclic peptides are capable of binding to challenging targets (e.g., proteins involved in protein-protein interactions) with high affinity and specificity, but generally cannot gain access to intracellular targets because of poor membrane permeability. In this work, we discovered a conformationally constrained cyclic cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) containing a d-Pro-l-Pro motif, cyclo(AFΦrpPRRFQ) (where Φ is l-naphthylalanine, r is d-arginine, and p is d-proline). The structural constraints...
