Abstract
The increase in dimensionality of three-dimensional (3D) NMR greatly enhances the spectral resolution in comparison to 2D NMR. It alleviates the problem of resonance overlap and may extend the range of molecules amenable to structure determination by high-resolution NRM spectroscopy. Here, we present strategies for the assignment of protein resonances from homonuclear nonselective 3D NOE-HOHAHA spectra. A notation for connectivities between protons, corresponding to cross peaks in 3D spectra, is introduced. We show how spin systems can be identified by tracing cross-peak patterns in cross sections perpendicular to the three frequency axes. The observable 3D sequential connectivities in proteins are tabulated, and estimates for the relative intensities of the corresponding cross peaks are given for alpha-helical and beta-sheet conformations. Intensities of the cross peaks in the 3D spectrum of pike III parvalbumin follow the predictions. The sequential-assignment procedure is illustrated for loop regions, extended and alpha-helical conformations for the residues Ala 54-Leu 63 of parvalbumin. NOEs that were not previously identified in 2D spectra of parvalbumin due to overlap are found.

Abstract
The Arc repressor of bacteriophage P22 is a DNA binding protein that does not belong to any of the known classes of such proteins. We have undertaken a 1H NMR study of the protein with the aim of elucidating its three-dimensional structure in solution and its mode of binding of operator DNA. Here we present the 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) assignments of all backbone protons and most of the side-chain protons of Arc repressor. Elements of secondary structure have been identified on the basis of networks of characteristic sequential and medium-range nuclear Overhauser enhancements (NOEs). Two alpha-helical regions have been found in the peptide regions 16-29 and 35-45. The ends of the helices could not yet be firmly established and could extend to residue 31 for the first helix and to residue 49 for the second. Immediately before the first helix, between residues 8 and 14, a region is present with beta-sheet characteristics dominated by a close proximity of the alpha-protons of residues 9 and 13. Because of the dimeric nature of the protein there are still two possible ways in which the NOEs in the beta-sheet region can be interpreted. If the NOEs are intramonomer, this requires a tight turn involving residues 10-12. Alternatively, if the NOEs are intermonomer, then and antiparallel beta-sheet would be implicated comprising two strands of different Arc monomers. While the data presently do not allow an unambiguous choice between these two possibilities, some evidence is discussed that favors the latter (beta-sheet between monomers).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The amino-terminal DNA binding domain of LexA repressor consisting of 84 amino acid residues has been studied by two-dimensional 1H NMR. Sequence-specific 1H resonance assignments were made for the first 60 amino acid residues. The secondary structure of this part of the protein contains three alpha-helices in the peptide segments 8-20, 28-35, and 41-54. The last helix has a distortion around residues 47-48. The peptide segment 28-47 shows weak homology with other helix-turn-helix proteins. To investigate the spatial structure of this region of the molecule distance-geometry calculations were performed based on proton-proton distance constraints from nuclear Overhauser effects. The resulting structure shows that the segment 28-47 contains two helices with a loop region between them. The relative orientation of the two helices is similar to that found in helix-turn-helix proteins, but the helices are further apart, with the phenyl ring of Phe-37 located between them. The Brookhaven Protein Data Bank was searched for structurally homologous peptide segments in other proteins. The result of this search was that the two-helical structure of LexA is not more closely related to the canonical helix-turn-helix motif than it is to similar substructures found in other classes of proteins.

Abstract
Bovine and porcine pancreatic phospholipases A2, and porcine isophospholipase A2, have been investigated by one- and two-dimensional 1H NMR spectroscopy. Resonances have been assigned for 20-26 residues in each enzyme, including all the aromatic residues, by a strategy based on the semiquantitative comparison of proximity relationships deduced from NOE experiments with those seen in the crystal structure NOE experiments indicate that the loop comprising residues 59-70, which has a different conformation in the crystal structures of the bovine and porcine enzymes, has the same conformation in these two enzymes in solution. Selective changes in the line width of a limited number of resonances as a function of pH, temperature, and calcium concentration provide evidence for a local conformational equilibrium. This equilibrium involves a limited region of the protein structure around residues 25, 41, 106, and 111; it has been identified in the bovine enzyme and porcine isoenzyme but is not apparent in the porcine enzyme.

Abstract
A complex between the lac repressor headpiece and a fully symmetric tight-binding 22 bp lac operator was studied by 2D NMR. Several 2D NOE spectra were recorded for the complex in both H2O and 2H2O. Many NOE cross-peaks between the headpiece and DNA could be identified, and changes in the chemical shift of the DNA protons upon complex formation were analyzed. Comparison of these data with those obtained for a complex between the headpiece and a 14 bp half-operator, studied previously [Boelens, R., Scheek, R. M., Lamerichs, R. M. J. N., de Vlieg, J., van Boom, J. H., & Kaptein, R. (1987) in DNA-ligand interactions (Guschlbauer, W., & Saenger, W., Eds.) pp 191-215, Plenum, New York], shows that two headpieces form a specific complex with the 22 bp lac operator in which each headpiece binds in the same way as found for the 14 bp complex. The orientation of the recognition helix in the major groove of DNA in these complexes is opposite with respect to the dyad axis to that found for other repressors.

Abstract
Photo-chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (photo-CIDNP) one-dimensional and two-dimensional (2D) 1H-NMR techniques have been applied to the study of the kringle 4 domain of human plasminogen both ligand-free and complexed to the antifibrinolytic drugs epsilon-aminocaproic acid and p-benzylaminesulfonic acid (BASA). A number of aromatic side-chains (His3, Trp72, Tyr41, Tyr50 and Tyr74) appear to be exposed and accessible to 3-N-carboxymethyl-lumiflavin, the photopolarizing flavin dye, both in the presence and in the absence of ligands. A lesser exposure is observed for the Trp25 and Trp62 indole groups in the presence of BASA. The spin-spin (J-coupling) and dipolar (Overhauser) connectivities in the 2D experiments afford absolute assignment of aromatic resonances for the above residues, as well as of those stemming from the Trp72 ring in the presence of BASA. Moreover, a number of H beta resonances can be identified and sorted according to specific types of amino acid residues.

Abstract
The solution conformation of rat epidermal growth factor (EGF) has been investigated by proton n.m.r. techniques. Two-dimensional proton n.m.r. experiments have allowed sequential resonance assignments to be made for most protons. On the basis of these assignments, two regions of anti-parallel beta-sheet structure have been derived from the n.m.r. data. A beta-sheet segment running from about V19 to V23 (capital letters refer to amino acids in the single-letter notation) is folded onto a beta-sheet segment running from R28 to N32 and joined by a chain reversal from E24 to D27. A second region involves a beta-turn from V34 to Y37, which starts a short beta-sheet up to G39, followed by a chain reversal up to Q43, which leads to folding of the C-terminal beta-sheet segment, i.e. H44-R45, running antiparallel to the short Y37 beta-sheet segment. The N-terminal segment up to G18 exists in a multiple bend conformation and is folded on to the V29-V23/R28-N32 beta-sheet such that Y10, Y13, Y22 and Y29 are proximal to each other. Structural comparison of rat, murine and human EGFs indicates a number of highly conserved structural features common to at least these species of EGF.

Abstract
Lac repressor headpiece (HP) and intact lac repressor have been studied using the photo-CIDNP method. At neutral pH histidine 29, tyrosines 7, 12 and 17 and methionine 1 are polarised. His-29 polarizations are weaker and broader in HP59 than in HP51 indicating that the C-terminal octapeptide in HP59 adopts a conformation that allows an interaction with His-29. The photo-CIDNP spectra of intact lac repressor and HP51 are very similar, showing that the same residues are accessible to the photo-excited flavin. An equimolar mixture of HP51 and a 14 base pair lac operator fragment strongly suppresses the photo-CIDNP effect of tyrosines 7 and 17 and abolishes the His-29 polarizations. The results are compared with earlier photo-CIDNP measurements on a complex of headpiece with poly[d(AT)] and with a model derived from a 2D NMR study on a lac headpiece-operator complex.

Abstract
The secondary structure of crambin in solution has been determined using two-dimensional NMR and is found to be essentially identical to that of the crystal structure. The H-D exchange of most amide protons can be accounted for in terms of the hydrogen bonds found in the X-ray structure. Exceptions are the amide protons of Cys-4 and Ser-6, which exchange more slowly than expected, and of Asn-46 for which the exchange is faster. These results might be explained by a slightly different conformation of the C-terminal region of the protein in solution. The slow exchange of the amides of Cys-32 and Glu-23 might be due to aggregation involving an extremely hydrophobic part of the protein in solution.

Abstract
The internuclear distances of the cyclic thymopoietin derivative c[D-Val-Tyr-Arg-Lys-Glu] have been determined using two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser n.m.r. spectroscopy. These distances are used as constraints for a restrained Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation. The two starting structures used for the calculations consist of a beta and gamma turn for model 1 and two gamma turns for model 2. The rms difference in atomic positions of the two conformations is 0.242 nm. They converge during the restrained MD simulation to the same final structure. The positional rms difference of the time averaged (5-14 ps) conformations is 0.011 nm. The hydrogen bond pattern is similar to that of model 1, but in addition we find three more gamma turns. The vicinal NH-C alpha H couplings agree well with those calculated from the time averaged structures.

Abstract
A comparison is presented of the imino proton NMR spectra of the double stranded octamer d(GCGTTGCG).d(CGCAACGC) and the same octamer in which the two central thymine residues occur as a cis-syn thymine dimer. Except for the terminal base pairs all imino protons were detected and assigned in the NMR spectrum. The spectra show that in the thymine dimer duplex, contrary to common belief, all base pairs occur in a hydrogen bonded form, although the hydrogen bonds of the two central AT base pairs are substantially weakened. The melting temperature decreases about 13 degrees C on thymine dimer formation.

Abstract
2D NMR spectroscopy and J coupling constant analysis are applied to resolve the structure of two photoproducts of thymidylyl-(3'----5')-thymidine. These products are cyclobutane type thymine dimers possessing the cis-syn (the predominant one) and trans-syn geometry. The cis-syn is formed in an ANTI-ANTI conformation about the N-glycosyl linkages and resembles the normal base-stacked configuration. The glycosidic conformation in solution of the 5' terminal fragment differs from the crystal in which the less common SYN conformation is observed. In this isomer only the sugar pucker of the 3' terminal fragment is changed substantially with respect to the dinucleotide. The trans-syn isomer is formed in a SYN-ANTI glycosidic conformation. In this isomer the sugar puckers of both deoxyribose rings are affected and a preference for a pure 2'-endo conformation is observed.

Two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectra are presented of the complex of lac repressor headpiece with a 14 base-pair lac operator fragment. Analysis of nuclear Overhauser enhancements observed between protein and DNA shows that the second helix of the headpiece ("the recognition helix") binds in the major groove of DNA as has been suggested, but that the orientation of this helix is approximately 180 degrees different from the proposed models.

Abstract
In order to obtain insight into the repair mechanism of DNA containing thymine photo-dimer, the conformation of the duplex d(GCGTTGCG) x d(CGCAACGC) with a thymine dimer incorporated has been studied by proton NMR and the results are compared with NMR data of the parent octamer. Two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser enhancement (2D NOE) spectroscopy and two-dimensional homonuclear Hartmann-Hahn spectroscopy have been applied to assign all the non-exchangeable base protons and most of the deoxyribose protons of both duplexes. From these experiments it is clear that indeed a cis-syn cyclobutane-type thymine photodimer is formed by the irradiation of this oligonucleotide with ultraviolet light. Comparison of 2D NOE spectra and the 1H chemical shifts of the damaged and the intact DNA duplexes reveals that formation of a thymine dimer induces small distortions of the B-DNA structure, the main conformational change occurring at the site of the thymine dimer.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) proton magnetic resonance techniques used in conjunction with laser photochemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (photo-CIDNP) spectroscopy have been applied to studying the kringle 4 domain from human plasminogen at 360 MHz. Out of 11 potential CIDNP-sensitive aromatic side chains, only 5 (His3, Tyr41, Tyr50, Trp72, and Tyr74) appear to be accessible to 3-(carboxymethyl)lumiflavin, the dye used to photogenerate spin polarization. Of these, Trp72 and Tyr74 are known to be at, or near, the lysine-binding site. The spin-spin scalar (J) and phase-sensitive dipolar (Overhauser) connectivities in the 2D experiments yield absolute assignments for the aromatic signals stemming from the exposed tyrosyl and tryptophanyl rings. Moreover, a number of side-chain H beta resonances can be identified and assigned to specific types of aromatic amino acid residues.

Abstract
One-dimensional and two-dimensional photochemically induced dynamic nuclear polarisation (photo-CIDNP) nuclear magnetic resonance spectra have been recorded for the sea-anemone polypeptide cardiac stimulants anthopleurin-A and Anemonia sulcata toxins I and II. In anthopleurin-A and toxin II, all three Trp residues are accessible to the flavin dye, although Trp-23 in anthopleurin-A shows a weaker photo-CIDNP response than Trp-33 and Trp-45. Tyr-25 in anthopleurin-A also shows a strong response. In toxin I, Trp-23, Trp-33 and Tyr-45 (which replaces Trp in this molecule) are accessible to the dye. The pH dependences of the photo-CIDNP spectra of all three polypeptides have been examined. The response of Trp-33 increases significantly with pH. The two His residues of anthopleurin-A and toxin II display a response in their imidazole forms, but not their imidazolium forms. The surface accessibilities of Trp-23 and Trp-33 are discussed in relation to the interaction of these polypeptides with the Na+ channel.

Abstract
Proton exchange in lac repressor headpiece was studied by COSY and 2D NOE spectroscopy. The exchange rates of amide protons, stabilized by the hydrogen bonds of the three alpha-helices of the headpiece, could be determined quantitatively. The exchange rates in these helices showed repetitive patterns of about three to four residues. A correlation with the position of the amide proton in the interior or the exterior of the alpha-helix of the protein was found. The exchange data strongly support the validity of the three-dimensional structure, as determined recently (Kaptein, R. et al., J. Mol. Biol. 182, 179-182 (1985)).
