Abstract
The C-diazeniumdiolate group in the amino acid graminine is emerging as a new microbially produced Fe(III) coordinating ligand in siderophores, which is photoreactive. While the few siderophores reported from this class have only been isolated from soil-associated microbes, here we report the first C-diazeniumdiolate siderophores tistrellabactins A and B, isolated from the bioactive marine-derived strain Tistrella mobilis KA081020-065. The structural characterization of the tistrellabactins reveals unique biosynthetic features including an NRPS module iteratively loading glutamine residues and a promiscuous adenylation domain yielding either tistrellabactin A with an asparagine residue or tistrellabactin B with an aspartic acid residue at analogous positions. Beyond the function of scavenging Fe(III) for growth, these siderophores are photoreactive upon irradiation with UV light, releasing the equivalent of nitric oxide (NO) and an H atom from the C-diazeniumdiolate group. Fe(III)-tistrellabactin is also photoreactive, with both the C-diazeniumdiolate and the β-hydroxyaspartate residues undergoing photoreactions, resulting in a photoproduct without the ability to chelate Fe(III).

Abstract
For interpreting the pressure induced shifts of resonance lines of folded as well as unfolded proteins the availability of data from well-defined model systems is indispensable. Here, we report the pressure dependence of 1H and 15N chemical shifts of the side chain atoms in the protected tetrapeptides Ac-Gly-Gly-Xxx-Ala-NH2 (Xxx is one of the 20 canonical amino acids) measured at 800 MHz proton frequency. As observed earlier for other nuclei the chemical shifts of the side chain nuclei have a nonlinear dependence on pressure in the range from 0.1 to 200 MPa. The pressure response is described by a second degree polynomial with the pressure coefficients B1 and B2 that are dependent on the atom type and type of amino acid studied. A number of resonances could be assigned stereospecifically including the 1H and 15N resonances of the guanidine group of arginine. In addition, stereoselectively isotope labeled SAIL amino acids were used to support the stereochemical assignments. The random-coil pressure coefficients are also dependent on the neighbor in the sequence as an analysis of the data shows. For Hα and HN correction factors for different amino acids were derived. In addition, a simple correction of compression effects in thermodynamic analysis of structural transitions in proteins was derived on the basis of random-coil pressure coefficients.

Abstract
CanA from Pyrodictium abyssi forms a heat-resistant organic hollow-fiber network together with CanB and CanC. An N-terminally truncated construct of CanA (K1-CanA) gave NMR spectra of good quality that could be assigned by three-dimensional NMR methods on 15N and 13C-15N enriched protein. We assigned the chemical shifts of 96% of all backbone 1HN atoms, 98% of all backbone 15N atoms, 100% of all 13Cα atoms, 100% of all 1Hα atoms, 90% of all 13C' atoms, and 100% of the 13Cβ atoms. Two short helices and 10 β-strands are estimated from an analysis of the chemical shifts leading to a secondary structure content of K1-CanA of 6% helices, 44% β-pleated sheets, and 50% coils.

Abstract
Parallel β-sheet-containing repeat proteins often display a structural motif in which conserved asparagines form a continuous ladder buried within the hydrophobic core. In such "asparagine ladders", the asparagine side-chain amides form a repetitive pattern of hydrogen bonds with neighboring main-chain NH and CO groups. Although asparagine ladders have been thought to be important for stability, there is little experimental evidence to support such speculation. Here we test the contribution of a minimal asparagine ladder from the leucine-rich repeat protein pp32 to stability and investigate lattice rigidity and hydrogen bond character using solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Point substitutions of the two ladder asparagines of pp32 are strongly destabilizing and decrease the cooperativity of unfolding. The chemical shifts of the ladder side-chain HZ protons are shifted significantly downfield in the NMR spectrum and have low temperature coefficients, indicative of strong hydrogen bonding. In contrast, the HE protons are shifted upfield and have temperature coefficients close to zero, suggesting an asymmetry in hydrogen bond strength along the ladder. Ladder NH2 groups have weak 1H-15N cross-peak intensities; 1H-15N nuclear Overhauser effect and 15N CPMG experiments show this to be the result of high rigidity. Hydrogen exchange measurements demonstrate that the ladder NH2 groups exchange very slowly, with rates approaching the global exchange limit. Overall, these results show that the asparagine side chains are held in a very rigid, nondynamic structure, making a significant contribution to the overall stability. In this regard, buried asparagine ladders can be considered "second backbones" within the cores of their elongated β-sheet host proteins.

Folding Then Binding vs Folding Through Binding in Macrocyclic Peptide Inhibitors of Human Pancreatic α-Amylase. ACS Chem Biol 2019; 14:1751-1759.

Abstract
De novo macrocyclic peptides, derived using selection technologies such as phage and mRNA display, present unique and unexpected solutions to challenging biological problems. This is due in part to their unusual folds, which are able to present side chains in ways not available to canonical structures such as α-helices and β-sheets. Despite much recent interest in these molecules, their folding and binding behavior remains poorly characterized. In this work, we present cocrystallization, docking, and solution NMR structures of three de novo macrocyclic peptides that all bind as competitive inhibitors with single-digit nanomolar Ki to the active site of human pancreatic α-amylase. We show that a short stably folded motif in one of these is nucleated by internal hydrophobic interactions in an otherwise dynamic conformation in solution. Comparison of the solution structures with a target-bound structure from docking indicates that stabilization of the bound conformation is provided through interactions with the target protein after binding. These three structures also reveal a surprising functional convergence to present a motif of a single arginine sandwiched between two aromatic residues in the interactions of the peptide with the key catalytic residues of the enzyme, despite little to no other structural homology. Our results suggest that intramolecular hydrophobic interactions are important for priming binding of small macrocyclic peptides to their target and that high rigidity is not necessary for high affinity.
