Monitoring Conformational Changes in the NDM-1 Metallo-β-lactamase by 19F NMR Spectroscopy**
The New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM-1) is involved in the emerging antibiotic resistance problem. Development of metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) inhibitors has proven challenging, due to their conformational flexibility. Here we report site-selective labeling of NDM-1 with 1,1,1-trifluoro-3-bromo acetone (BFA), and its use to study binding events and conformational changes upon ligand-metal bind...
متن کاملConformational changes of an ion channel detected through water-protein interactions using solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
The influenza A virus M2 protein is a pH-gated and amantadine-inhibited proton channel important for the virus life cycle. Proton conduction by M2 is known to involve water; however direct experimental evidence of M2-water interaction is scarce. Using (1)H spin diffusion solid-state NMR, we have now determined the water accessibility of the M2 transmembrane domain (M2-TM) in virus-envelope-mime...
متن کاملConformational Changes Underlying Desensitization of the Pentameric Ligand-Gated Ion Channel ELIC.
Structural rearrangements underlying functional transitions of pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) are not fully understood. Using (19)F nuclear magnetic resonance and electron spin resonance spectroscopy, we found that ELIC, a pLGIC from Erwinia chrysanthemi, expanded the extracellular end and contracted the intracellular end of its pore during transition from the resting to an appar...
متن کاملBcL-xL Conformational Changes upon Fragment Binding Revealed by NMR
Protein-protein interactions represent difficult but increasingly important targets for the design of therapeutic compounds able to interfere with biological processes. Recently, fragment-based strategies have been proposed as attractive approaches for the elaboration of protein-protein surface inhibitors from fragment-like molecules. One major challenge in targeting protein-protein interaction...
متن کاملLigand-driven conformational changes of MurD visualized by paramagnetic NMR.
Proteins, especially multi-domain proteins, often undergo drastic conformational changes upon binding to ligands or by post-translational modifications, which is a key step to regulate their function. However, the detailed mechanisms of such dynamic regulation of the functional processes are poorly understood because of the lack of an efficient tool. We here demonstrate detailed characterizatio...
