    Notes: Abstract We describe the direct observation of side chain–side chain hydrogen bonding interactions in proteins with sensitivity-enhanced NMR spectroscopy. Specifically, the remote correlation between the guanidinium nitrogen 15Nε of arginine 71, which serves as the hydrogen donor, and the acceptor carboxylate carbon 13CO2 γ of aspartate 100 in a 12 kDa protein, human FKBP12, is detected via the trans-hydrogen bond 3h J Nε CO2γ coupling by employing a novel HNCO-type experiment, soft CPD-HNCO. The 3h J Nε CO2γ coupling constant appears to be even smaller than the average value of backbone 3h J NC′ couplings, consistent with more extensive local dynamics in protein side chains. The identification of trans-hydrogen bond J-couplings between protein side chains should provide useful markers for monitoring hydrogen bonding interactions that contribute to the stability of protein folds, to alignments within enzyme active sites and to recognition events at macromolecular interfaces.

    Notes: Abstract We describe the direct observation of very weak side chain–main chain hydrogen bonding interactions in medium-size 13C/15N-labeled proteins with sensitivity-enhanced NMR spectroscopy. Specifically, the remote correlation between the hydrogen acceptor side chain carboxylate carbon 13CO2 δ of glutamate 54 and the hydrogen donor backbone amide 15N of methionine 49 in a 12 kDa protein, human FKBP12, is detected via the trans-hydrogen bond 3h J NCO2δ coupling by employing a novel sensitivity-enhanced HNCO-type experiment, CPD-HNCO. The 3h J NCO2δ coupling constant appears to be even smaller than the average value of backbone 3h J NC′ couplings, consistent with more extensive local dynamics in protein side chains.

    Notes: Summary A biosynthetic strategy has recently been developed for the production of 15N, 13C, 2H-labeled proteins using 1H3C-pyruvate as the sole carbon source and D2O as the solvent. The methyl groups of Ala, Val, Leu and Ile (γ2 only) remain highly protonated, while the remaining positions in the molecule are largely deuterated. An (H)C(CO)NH-TOCSY experiment is presented for the sequential assignment of the protonated methyl groups. A high-sensitivity spectrum is recorded on a 15N, 13C, 2H, 1H3C-labeled SH2 domain at 3°C (correlation time 18.8 ns), demonstrating the utility of the method for proteins in the 30–40 kDa molecular weight range.

    Notes: Summary Guanine nucleotide binding proteins were examined for their influence in developmental and adaptive models of adrenergic actions in the heart. In primary cultures of rat cardiac myocytes, the positive chronotropic response to the alpha-agonist, phenylephrine, changes to negative when these cells are grown with and innervated by sympathetic nerves from the paravertebral chain. Innervated cells have significantly more G protein, as determined by the ADP-ribosylation reaction catalyzed by pertussis toxin, which is linked functionally to the negative chronotropic response. Adult canine Purkinje fibers that respond to phenylephrine with a decrease in automaticity are also linked biochemically and functionally to a G protein that serves as a pertussis toxin substrate. Fibers that increase in automaticity after exposure to phenylephrine, either under control conditions (a minority of fibers) or after prior exposure to pertussis toxin (a majority of fibers), have markedly reduced levels of G. A G protein was also shown to be important in the blunted adrenergic responsiveness that characterizes congestive heart failure in human subjects. In this model, the receptor complex is beta-adrenergic and the involved G protein is a cholera toxin substrate. Gs is reduced in the lymphocytes of patients with congestive heart failure and increases toward normal after successful therapy. These observations highlight the important roles that G proteins have in adrenergic actions of the heart both with respect developmental and adaptive changes.
