Solid-state NMR characterization of gas vesicle structure.
Gas vesicles are gas-filled buoyancy organelles with walls that consist almost exclusively of gas vesicle protein A (GvpA). Intact, collapsed gas vesicles from the cyanobacterium Anabaena flos-aquae were studied by solid-state NMR spectroscopy, and most of the GvpA sequence was assigned. Chemical shift analysis indicates a coil-α-β-β-α-coil peptide backbone, consistent with secondary-structure-...
متن کاملSolid State NMR Studies of Structure and Dynamics in Systems
Deuterium NMR provides insight into dynamics over a wide range of kinetic rates. Experimental data can be rigorously fit and rates as well as motional mechanisms extracted. Temperatures dependent studies yield activation energies for key dynamic processes. Two model systems with well-characterized motions were studied to demonstrate this. The ammonium group in L-alanine has an activation energy...
متن کاملBiological membrane structure by solid-state NMR.
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and particularly solid-state NMR spectroscopy, is a method of choice to study the structure and dynamics of both the lipid and the protein components of model and biological membranes. Different approaches have been developed to study these systems in which the restricted molecular motions result in broad NMR spectra. This contribution will first p...
متن کاملGas vesicles across kingdoms: a comparative solid state NMR study
The buoyancy organelles of aquatic microorganisms have to meet stringent specifications: allowing gases to equilibrate freely across the proteinaceous shell, preventing the condensation of water vapor inside the hollow cavity, and resisting collapse under hydrostatic pressures that vary with column depth. These properties are provided by the 7–8 kDa gas vesicle protein A (GvpA), repeats of whic...
متن کاملStructural studies of proteins by paramagnetic solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
Paramagnetism-based nuclear pseudocontact shifts and spin relaxation enhancements contain a wealth of information in solid-state NMR spectra about electron-nucleus distances on the ∼20 Å length scale, far beyond that normally probed through measurements of nuclear dipolar couplings. Such data are especially vital in the context of structural studies of proteins and other biological molecules th...
