Description:
Two-dimensional (2D) vibrational echo spectroscopy has previously been applied to structural determination of small peptides. Here we extend the technique to a more complex, biologically important system: the homodimeric transmembrane dimer from the alpha chain of the integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3). We prepared micelle suspensions of the pair of 30-residue chains that span the membrane in the native structure, with varying levels of heavy ((13)C=(18)O) isotopes substituted in the backbone of the central 10th through 20th positions. The constraints derived from vibrational coupling of the precisely spaced heavy residues led to determination of an optimized structure from a range of model candidates: Glycine residues at the 12th, 15th, and 16th positions form a tertiary contact in parallel right-handed helix dimers with crossing angles of -58 degrees +/- 9 degrees and interhelical distances of 7.7 +/- 0.5 angstroms. The frequency correlation established the dynamical model used in the analysis, and it indicated the absence of mobile water associated with labeled residues. Delocalization of vibrational excitations between the helices was also quantitatively established.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3295544/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3295544/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Remorino, Amanda -- Korendovych, Ivan V -- Wu, Yibing -- DeGrado, William F -- Hochstrasser, Robin M -- GM12592/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM54616/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM56423/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM60610/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P41 RR001348-29/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- P41 RR001348-30/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM012592-48/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM054616/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM054616-08/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM056423/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM056423-12/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- RR01348/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 Jun 3;332(6034):1206-9. doi: 10.1126/science.1202997.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19104-6323, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21636774" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
