Abstract
Fast magic-angle spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR spectroscopy is a powerful tool for gaining structural and dynamic information on solid proteins. To access such information site-specifically, the signal assignment process is unavoidable. In the assignment process, Cα and Cβ chemical shifts are of paramount importance in identifying the type of amino acid residues. Conventionally, however, recording the Cβ chemical shift of solid proteins with relatively short transverse relaxation time is often limited by the long delay required for the magnetization transfer to Cβ spins and its evolution, that is, by the sensitivity drop. In this article, we propose a new method that encodes the Cβ chemical shifts onto the intensities of the scalar-coupled Cα signals by combining an optimal control-based spin manipulation pulse and a spin-state filter. This reduces the total required transverse evolution to less than half of that for the previously proposed method, opening up the concept of the Cβ-encoding nearest-neighbor NMR, for the first time, to solid proteins. Also, the total measurement time was shorter than that required for the explicit Cβ shift evolution. We demonstrate the sequential signal assignment for microcrystalline protein GB1, and then discuss the prospects for more challenging proteins.

Abstract
Solid-state NMR (ssNMR) has become a well-established technique to study large and insoluble protein assemblies. However, its application to nucleic acid-protein complexes has remained scarce, mainly due to the challenges presented by overlapping nucleic acid signals. In the past decade, several efforts have led to the first structure determination of an RNA molecule by ssNMR. With the establishment of these tools, it has become possible to address the problem of structure determination of nucleic acid-protein complexes by ssNMR. Here we review first and more recent ssNMR methodologies that study nucleic acid-protein interfaces by means of chemical shift and peak intensity perturbations, direct distance measurements and paramagnetic effects. At the end, we review the first structure of an RNA-protein complex that has been determined from ssNMR-derived intermolecular restraints.

Abstract
Labeling of biomolecules with a paramagnetic probe for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy enables determining long-range distance restraints, which are otherwise not accessible by classically used dipolar coupling-based NMR approaches. Distance restraints derived from paramagnetic relaxation enhancements (PREs) can facilitate the structure determination of large proteins and protein complexes. We herein present the site-directed labeling of the large oligomeric bacterial DnaB helicase from Helicobacter pylori with cysteine-reactive maleimide tags carrying either a nitroxide radical or a lanthanide ion. The success of the labeling reaction was followed by quantitative continuous-wave electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments performed on the nitroxide-labeled protein. PREs were extracted site-specifically from 2D and 3D solid-state NMR spectra. A good agreement with predicted PRE values, derived by computational modeling of nitroxide and Gd3+ tags in the low-resolution DnaB crystal structure, was found. Comparison of experimental PREs and model-predicted spin label-nucleus distances indicated that the size of the "blind sphere" around the paramagnetic center, in which NMR resonances are not detected, is slightly larger for Gd3+ (∼14 Å) than for nitroxide (∼11 Å) in 13C-detected 2D spectra of DnaB. We also present Gd3+-Gd3+ dipolar electron-electron resonance EPR experiments on DnaB supporting the conclusion that DnaB was present as a hexameric assembly.

Abstract
Paramagnetic metal ions can be inserted into ATP-fueled motor proteins by exchanging the diamagnetic Mg2+ cofactor with Mn2+ or Co2+ . Then, paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) or pseudo-contact shifts (PCSs) can be measured to report on the localization of the metal ion within the protein. We determine the metal position in the oligomeric bacterial DnaB helicase from Helicobacter pylori complexed with the transition-state ATP-analogue ADP:AlF4 - and single-stranded DNA using solid-state NMR and a structure-calculation protocol employing CYANA. We discuss and compare the use of Mn2+ and Co2+ in localizing the ATP cofactor in large oligomeric protein assemblies. 31 P PCSs induced in the Co2+ -containing sample are then used to localize the DNA phosphate groups on the Co2+ PCS tensor surface enabling structural insights into DNA binding to the DnaB helicase.

Structure of membrane diacylglycerol kinase in lipid bilayers. Commun Biol 2021; 4:282.

Abstract
Diacylglycerol kinase (DgkA) is a small integral membrane protein, responsible for the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of diacylglycerol to phosphatidic acid. Its structures reported in previous studies, determined in detergent micelles by solution NMR and in monoolein cubic phase by X-ray crystallography, differ significantly. These differences point to the need to validate these detergent-based structures in phospholipid bilayers. Here, we present a well-defined homo-trimeric structure of DgkA in phospholipid bilayers determined by magic angle spinning solid-state NMR (ssNMR) spectroscopy, using an approach combining intra-, inter-molecular paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE)-derived distance restraints and CS-Rosetta calculations. The DgkA structure determined in lipid bilayers is different from the solution NMR structure. In addition, although ssNMR structure of DgkA shows a global folding similar to that determined by X-ray, these two structures differ in monomeric symmetry and dynamics. A comparative analysis of DgkA structures determined in three different detergent/lipid environments provides a meaningful demonstration of the influence of membrane mimetic environments on the structure and dynamics of membrane proteins. Jianping Li et al. present the homo-trimeric structure of the small integral membrane protein diacylglycerol kinase (DgkA) in phospholipid bilayers determined by magic angle spinning solid-state NMR spectroscopy. They compare the structure with structures solved by solution NMR and X-ray crystallography and provide insights into the influence of membrane mimetic environments on membrane proteins.

Abstract
Motor proteins are involved in a variety of cellular processes. Their main purpose is to convert the chemical energy released during adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis into mechanical work. In this review, solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) approaches are discussed allowing studies of structures, conformational events and dynamic features of motor proteins during a variety of enzymatic reactions. Solid-state NMR benefits from straightforward sample preparation based on sedimentation of the proteins directly into the Magic-Angle Spinning (MAS) rotor. Protein resonance assignment is the crucial and often time-limiting step in interpreting the wealth of information encoded in the NMR spectra. Herein, potentials, challenges and limitations in resonance assignment for large motor proteins are presented, focussing on both biochemical and spectroscopic approaches. This work highlights NMR tools available to study the action of the motor domain and its coupling to functional processes, as well as to identify protein-nucleotide interactions during events such as DNA replication. Arrested protein states of reaction coordinates such as ATP hydrolysis can be trapped for NMR studies by using stable, non-hydrolysable ATP analogues that mimic the physiological relevant states as accurately as possible. Recent advances in solid-state NMR techniques ranging from Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP), 31P-based heteronuclear correlation experiments, 1H-detected spectra at fast MAS frequencies >100 kHz to paramagnetic NMR are summarized and their applications to the bacterial DnaB helicase from Helicobacter pylori are discussed.

Abstract
The paramagnetic properties of metal ions and stable radicals can affect NMR spectra, which can lead to changes in peak intensities, relaxation times and chemical shifts. The changes from paramagnetic effects provide intriguing opportunities for solid-state NMR studies of proteins. In this review, we summarized the trends and progress of paramagnetic solid-state NMR of proteins in the past decade, and showed that paramagnetic effects have great potential applications for sensitivity enhancement, structure determination and topological analysis for microcrystalline proteins, protein complexes, protein aggregates and membrane proteins.

Abstract
Sensitivity of magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy has been dramatically improved by the advent of high-field dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) technique and its rapid advances over the past decades. In this course, discussions on ways to improve the DNP enhancement factor or the overall sensitivity gain have been numerous, and led to a number of methodological and instrumental breakthroughs. Beyond the sensitivity gain, however, discussions on accurate quantification of the 1H polarization amplitude achievable in a sample with DNP have been relatively rare. Here, we propose a new method for quantifying the local 1H hyperpolarization amplitude, which is applicable to un-oriented/powdered solid samples under MAS NMR conditions. The method is based on the ability to observe the high-order spin-correlated term (2IzSz) intrinsic to a hyperpolarized IS two-spin state, separately from the lowest-order Zeeman term (Sz) in quasi-equilibrium magnetization. The quantification procedure does not require evaluation of signal amplitudes for a "microwave-off" condition and for an un-doped reference sample, and thus enables quick and accurate quantification unaffected by the effects of the paramagnetic quenching and the MAS-induced depolarization. The method is also shown to elucidate spatial polarization distribution through the 2IzSz term prepared domain-selectively. As a potential application, we also demonstrate 2D DQ-SQ spectroscopy utilizing the 2IzSz term that is generated in a spatially selective manner without using IS dipolar or J coupling. These salient features may be evolved into a way for characterizing mesoscopic molecular assemblies of medical/biological importance.

Abstract
There is a pressing need for new computational tools to integrate data from diverse experimental approaches in structural biology. We present a strategy that combines sparse paramagnetic solid-state NMR restraints with physics-based atomistic simulations. Our approach explicitly accounts for uncertainty in the interpretation of experimental data through the use of a semi-quantitative mapping between the data and the restraint energy that is calibrated by extensive simulations. We apply our approach to solid-state NMR data for the model protein GB1 labeled with Cu2+ -EDTA at six different sites. We are able to determine the structure to 0.9 Å accuracy within a single day of computation on a GPU cluster. We further show that in some cases, the data from only a single paramagnetic tag are sufficient for accurate folding.

Abstract
DnaB helicases are motor proteins that couple ATP-hydrolysis to the loading of the protein onto DNA at the replication fork and to translocation along DNA to separate double-stranded DNA into single strands during replication. Using a network of conformational states, arrested by nucleotide mimics, we herein characterize the reaction coordinates for ATP hydrolysis, DNA loading and DNA translocation using solid-state NMR spectroscopy. AMP-PCP is used as pre-hydrolytic, ADP:AlF4- as transition state, and ADP as post-hydrolytic ATP mimic. 31P and 13C NMR spectra reveal conformational and dynamic responses to ATP hydrolysis and the resulting DNA loading and translocation with single amino-acid resolution. This allows us to identify residues guiding the DNA translocation process and to explain the high binding affinities for DNA observed for ADP:AlF4-, which turns out to be optimally preconfigured to bind DNA.

Abstract
Application of paramagnetic solid-state NMR to amyloids is demonstrated, using Y145Stop human prion protein modified with nitroxide spin-label or EDTA-Cu2+ tags as a model. By using sample preparation protocols based on seeding with preformed fibrils, we show that paramagnetic protein analogs can be induced into adopting the wild-type amyloid structure. Measurements of residue-specific intramolecular and intermolecular paramagnetic relaxation enhancements enable determination of protein fold within the fibril core and protofilament assembly. These methods are expected to be widely applicable to other amyloids and protein assemblies.

Abstract
Chemical Shift-Rosetta (CS-Rosetta) is an automated method that employs NMR chemical shifts to model protein structures de novo. In this chapter, we introduce the terminology and central concepts of CS-Rosetta. We describe the architecture and functionality of automatic NOESY assignment (AutoNOE) and structure determination protocols (Abrelax and RASREC) within the CS-Rosetta framework. We further demonstrate how CS-Rosetta can discriminate near-native structures against a large conformational search space using restraints obtained from NMR data, and/or sequence and structure homology. We highlight how CS-Rosetta can be combined with alternative automated approaches to (i) model oligomeric systems and (ii) create NMR-based structure determination pipeline. To show its practical applicability, we emphasize on the computational requirements and performance of CS-Rosetta for protein targets of varying molecular weight and complexity. Finally, we discuss the current Python interface, which enables easy execution of protocols for rapid and accurate high-resolution structure determination.

Abstract
Replica exchange is a widely used sampling strategy in molecular simulation. While a variety of methods exist to optimize parameters for temperature replica exchange, less is known about how to optimize parameters for more general Hamiltonian replica exchange simulations. We present an algorithm for the online optimization of total acceptance for both temperature and Hamiltonian replica exchange simulations using stochastic gradient descent. We optimize the total acceptance, a heuristic objective function capturing the efficiency of replica exchange. Our approach is general and has several desirable properties, including: (1) it makes few assumptions about the system of interest, (2) optimization occurs online without the requirement of presimulation, and (3) most importantly, it readily generalizes to systems where there are multiple control parameters (e.g., temperatures, force constants, etc.) that determine the Hamiltonian of each replica. We explore some general properties of the algorithm on a simple harmonic oscillator system, and demonstrate its effectiveness on a more complex data-guided protein folding simulation.

Abstract
We demonstrate rapid quantitative measurements of site-resolved paramagnetic relaxation enhancements (PREs), which are a source of valuable structural restraints corresponding to electron-nucleus distances in the ∼10-20 Å regime, in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of proteins containing covalent Cu2+-binding tags. Specifically, using protein GB1 K28C-EDTA-Cu2+ mutant as a model, we show the determination of backbone amide 15N longitudinal and 1H transverse PREs within a few hours of experiment time based on proton-detected 2D or 3D correlation spectra recorded with magic-angle spinning frequencies ≥ ∼ 60 kHz for samples containing ∼10-50 nanomoles of 2H,13C,15N-labeled protein back-exchanged in H2O. Additionally, we show that the electron relaxation time for the Cu2+ center, needed to convert PREs into distances, can be estimated directly from the experimental data. Altogether, these results are important for establishing solid-state NMR based on paramagnetic-tagging as a routine tool for structure determination of natively diamagnetic proteins.

Abstract
The 3D atomic structures of biomolecules and their complexes are key to our understanding of biomolecular function, recognition, and mechanism. However, it is often difficult to obtain structures, particularly for systems that are complex, dynamic, disordered, or exist in environments like cell membranes. In such cases sparse data from a variety of paramagnetic NMR experiments offers one possible source of structural information. These restraints can be incorporated in computer modeling algorithms that can accurately translate the sparse experimental data into full 3D atomic structures. In this review, we discuss various types of paramagnetic NMR/computational hybrid modeling techniques that can be applied to successful modeling of not only the atomic structure of proteins but also their interacting partners. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Biophysics in Canada, edited by Lewis Kay, John Baenziger, Albert Berghuis and Peter Tieleman.

Abstract
Paramagnetic metal ions deliver structural information both in EPR and solid-state NMR experiments, offering a profitable synergetic approach to study bio-macromolecules. We demonstrate the spectral consequences of Mg2+ / Mn2+ substitution and the resulting information contents for two different ATP:Mg2+ -fueled protein engines, a DnaB helicase from Helicobacter pylori active in the bacterial replisome, and the ABC transporter BmrA, a bacterial efflux pump. We show that, while EPR spectra report on metal binding and provide information on the geometry of the metal centers in the proteins, paramagnetic relaxation enhancements identified in the NMR spectra can be used to localize residues at the binding site. Protein engines are ubiquitous and the methods described herein should be applicable in a broad context.
