PELDOR Spectroscopy Reveals Two Defined States of a Sialic Acid TRAP Transporter SBP in Solution

Abstract: The tripartite ATP-independent periplasmic (TRAP) transporters are a widespread class of membrane transporters in bacteria and archaea. Typical substrates for TRAP transporters are organic acids including the sialic acid N-acetylneuraminic acid. The substrate binding proteins (SBP) of TRAP transporters are the best studied component and are responsible for initial high-affinity substrate binding. To better understand the dynamics of the ligand binding process, pulsed electron-electron double resonance (PELDOR,… Show more

“…Although the open conformation is the ground state for most ligand-free SBPs 1,5,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] , numerous SBPs also sample semi-closed and closed states in the absence of ligands. For example, X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, double electron-electron resonance (DEER, a.k.a.…”

Indeed, the extent of the open/closed motion differs between SBPs 1 , and the function of an SBP can be changed by mutations that alter conformational sampling, without changing the architecture of the SBP-ligand interface 19,21,30 .…”

“…Based on the Anfinsen dogma, it became customary to explain function in terms of a single conformation or of well-defined transitions between a few conformations defined at atomic resolution. While this is certainly a reasonable approximation in some cases [75][76][77], availability of distance distributions demonstrates that rather often conformation transitions are coupled to order-disorder transitions or are shifts in disorder equilibria [39,[78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94]. Among the systems addressed by PDS to date, the fraction where at least one state is genuinely disordered is surprisingly large.…”

“…This was the case encountered in a recent study where substrate binding to the substrate binding domain of a transporter was determined by DEER. 7 However, given our values of K A and K B , this limit is not applicable to cAMP binding to CNBD, and we conclude that the four-state model is necessary. The same four-state model with three equilibria has also been found optimal in a recent single-molecule FRET study of the CNBD-cAMP binding 27 .…”

“…6 DEER can also be used as a quantitative method for determining equilibrium constants such as p K a values 3 and substrate dissociation constants. 7 In principle, the time course of conformational changes of a protein induced by substrate or ligand binding can be probed by combining rapid freeze quench (RFQ) and EPR distance measurements.…”
