Abstract
![]()
The detailed mechanism
of ATP hydrolysis in ATP-binding cassette
(ABC) transporters is still not fully understood. Here, we employed 31P solid-state NMR to probe the conformational changes and
dynamics during the catalytic cycle by locking the multidrug ABC transporter
BmrA in prehydrolytic, transition, and posthydrolytic states, using
a combination of mutants and ATP analogues. The 31P spectra
reveal that ATP binds strongly in the prehydrolytic state to both
ATP-binding sites as inferred from the analysis of the nonhydrolytic
E504A mutant. In the transition state of wild-type BmrA, the symmetry
of the dimer is broken and only a single site is tightly bound to
ADP:Mg2+:vanadate, while the second site is more ‘open’
allowing exchange with the nucleotides in the solvent. In the posthydrolytic
state, weak binding, as characterized by chemical exchange with free
ADP and by asymmetric 31P–31P two-dimensional
(2D) correlation spectra, is observed for both sites. Revisiting the 13C spectra in light of these findings confirms the conformational
nonequivalence of the two nucleotide-binding sites in the transition
state. Our results show that following ATP binding, the symmetry of
the ATP-binding sites of BmrA is lost in the ATP-hydrolysis step,
but is then recovered in the posthydrolytic ADP-bound state.

Abstract
Progress in NMR in general and in biomolecular applications in particular is driven by increasing magnetic-field strengths leading to improved resolution and sensitivity of the NMR spectra. Recently, persistent superconducting magnets at a magnetic field strength (magnetic induction) of 28.2 T corresponding to 1200 MHz proton resonance frequency became commercially available. We present here a collection of high-field NMR spectra of a variety of proteins, including molecular machines, membrane proteins, viral capsids, fibrils and large molecular assemblies. We show this large panel in order to provide an overview over a range of representative systems under study, rather than a single best performing model system. We discuss both carbon-13 and proton-detected experiments, and show that in 13C spectra substantially higher numbers of peaks can be resolved compared to 850 MHz while for 1H spectra the most impressive increase in resolution is observed for aliphatic side-chain resonances.

ATP Analogues for Structural Investigations: Case Studies of a DnaB Helicase and an ABC Transporter. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25225268. [PMID: 33198135 PMCID: PMC7698047 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25225268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2020] [Revised: 11/06/2020] [Accepted: 11/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) are used as chemical energy source in a variety of cell systems. Structural snapshots along the NTP hydrolysis reaction coordinate are typically obtained by adding stable, nonhydrolyzable adenosine triphosphate (ATP) -analogues to the proteins, with the goal to arrest a state that mimics as closely as possible a physiologically relevant state, e.g., the pre-hydrolytic, transition and post-hydrolytic states. We here present the lessons learned on two distinct ATPases on the best use and unexpected pitfalls observed for different analogues. The proteins investigated are the bacterial DnaB helicase from Helicobacter pylori and the multidrug ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter BmrA from Bacillus subtilis, both belonging to the same division of P-loop fold NTPases. We review the magnetic-resonance strategies which can be of use to probe the binding of the ATP-mimics, and present carbon-13, phosphorus-31, and vanadium-51 solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of the proteins or the bound molecules to unravel conformational and dynamic changes upon binding of the ATP-mimics. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and in particular W-band electron-electron double resonance (ELDOR)-detected NMR, is of complementary use to assess binding of vanadate. We discuss which analogues best mimic the different hydrolysis states for the DnaB helicase and the ABC transporter BmrA. These might be relevant also to structural and functional studies of other NTPases.

Abstract
NMR spectroscopy is a method of choice to characterize structure, function, and dynamics of integral membrane proteins at atomic resolution. Here, we describe protocols for sample preparation and characterization by NMR spectroscopy of two integral membrane proteins with different architecture, the α-helical membrane protein MsbA and the β-barrel membrane protein BamA. The protocols describe recombinant expression in E. coli, protein refolding, purification, and reconstitution in suitable membrane mimetics, as well as key setup steps for basic NMR experiments. These include experiments on protein samples in the solid state under magic angle spinning (MAS) conditions and experiments on protein samples in aqueous solution. Since MsbA and BamA are typical examples of their respective architectural classes, the protocols presented here can also serve as a reference for other integral membrane proteins.
