NMR Structure and Dynamics of the Engineered Fluorescein-Binding Lipocalin FluA Reveal Rigidification of β-Barrel and Variable Loops upon Enthalpy-Driven Ligand Binding

Abstract: The NMR structure of the 21 kDa lipocalin FluA, which was previously obtained by combinatorial design, elucidates a reshaped binding site specific for the dye fluorescein resulting from 21 side chain replacements with respect to the parental lipocalin, the naturally occurring bilin-binding protein (BBP). As expected, FluA exhibits the lipocalin fold of BBP, comprising eight antiparallel β-strands forming a β-barrel with an α-helix attached to its side. Comparison of the NMR structure of the free FluA with the … Show more

“…Addition of a 2-fold excess of UCN-01 to AGP2-FL, however, yielded a much improved 1 H-15 N TROSY-HSQC spectrum, with a higher proportion of the expected number of resonances and more uniform peak homogeneity. AGP2-FL was therefore most likely correctly folded and UCN-01 was able to bind and stabilise the structure as has been observed in other lipocalins (27). The NMR spectrum, however, remained of less than satisfactory quality (Supporting Information Figure 1).…”

“…All these attributes determine the energetics of the protein-interfaces and the free energy contributions have to be kept in balance for stable complex formation. This process involves a balance between entropy and enthalpy changes where the unfavorable changes might be compensated in the regions that are not part of the binding site [64] [67] , which might explain the differences in binding energetics between hMed25-ACID/Dreb2a and aMed25-ACID/Dreb2a. Therefore, even though the plant-specific transcription factor Dreb2a is able to bind to the hMed25-ACID, it might still give rise to a different and specific functional fold upon complex-formation with the aMed25-ACID which might be required for proper functionality during activation of transcription in A.thaliana .…”

“…The regions in VP16-TAD which have propensity to form α-helices upon interaction with its target are indicated (435–450 and 465–485) [37] . The black box indicates the region of the nine-amino-acid sequence that has previously been reported as important for interaction of VP16-TAD with several co- factors [41] , [66] and which also has been identified in a range of transcription factors such as VP16, p53, HSF1, NF-kB and NFAT1 [30] , [42] , [67] . The Dreb2a sequence has six identical amino acids that align to that region in VP16-TAD (DFDLDMLGD).…”

“…In 2009 we identified more than 400 articles after searching Web of Science, PubMed, SciDir and OVID databases using ‘isothermal AND titration AND calorimetry’ or ITC or ‘Isothermal Titration Calorimetry’ search terms. These have been classified into the following categories: Pre‐2009 references cited in the text and review articles 1–43 Protein‐protein and protein‐peptide interactions 44–124 Protein/peptide‐small molecule interactions 125–218 Protein/peptide‐metal ion interactions 219–253 Protein/peptide‐nucleic acid interactions 254–273 Protein/peptide‐lipid interactions 274–292 Protein/peptide‐polysaccharide interactions 293–316 Nucleic acid‐small molecule interactions 317–348 Small molecule interactions …”
