Detection of disordered regions in globular proteins using 13Cdetected NMR

چکیده
Characterization of disordered regions in globular proteins constitutes a significant challenge. Here, we report an approach based on C-detected nuclear magnetic resonance experiments for the identification and assignment of disordered regions in large proteins. Using this method, we demonstrate that disordered fragments can be accurately identified in two homologs of menin, a globular protein with a molecular weight over 50 kDa. Our work provides an efficient way to characterize disordered fragments in globular proteins for structural biology applications.

متن کامل1H, 13C and 15N resonance assignment of a 114-residue fragment of Engrailed 2 homeoprotein, a partially disordered protein.
Engrailed 2 is a transcription factor belonging to the class of homeoproteins. These proteins possess a 60-residue DNA binding globular domain and play an important role in the early stages of development. We expressed and purified a 13.4 kDa fragment of Engrailed 2, which comprises a 54-residue N-terminal extension in addition to the homeodomain region. Almost all backbone and side-chain reson...
متن کاملIDEAL in 2014 illustrates interaction networks composed of intrinsically disordered proteins and their binding partners
IDEAL (Intrinsically Disordered proteins with Extensive Annotations and Literature, http://www.ideal.force.cs.is.nagoya-u.ac.jp/IDEAL/) is a collection of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) that cannot adopt stable globular structures under physiological conditions. Since its previous publication in 2012, the number of entries in IDEAL has almost tripled (120 to 340). In addition to the i...
متن کاملConstruct optimization for protein NMR structure analysis using amide hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry.
Disordered or unstructured regions of proteins, while often very important biologically, can pose significant challenges for resonance assignment and three-dimensional structure determination of the ordered regions of proteins by NMR methods. In this article, we demonstrate the application of (1)H/(2)H exchange mass spectrometry (DXMS) for the rapid identification of disordered segments of prot...
متن کاملA Method for Systematic Assessment of Intrinsically Disordered Protein Regions by NMR
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) that lack stable conformations and are highly flexible have attracted the attention of biologists. Therefore, the development of a systematic method to identify polypeptide regions that are unstructured in solution is important. We have designed an "indirect/reflected" detection system for evaluating the physicochemical properties of IDPs using nuclear m...
