    Notes: [Auszug] B-cell activation depends on the intensity of B-cell receptor cross-linking. Studies of haptenated antigens1 and vesicular stomatitis virus2 (VSV) have demonstrated a correlation between antigen repetitiveness and the degree to which B-cell activation is independent of T cells. Here, we compare ...

    Notes: [Auszug] The NMR structure of PrP(121-231) (Fig. la and Table 1) contains three oc-helices and a two-stranded antiparallel P-sheet. The approximate lengths of the helices are from residues 144 to 154, 179 to 193, and 200 to 217, and the lengths of the (3-strands are from residues 128 to 131, and 161 to 164. ...

    Notes: Abstract The new computer algorithm FOUND, which is implemented as an integrated module of the DYANA structure calculation program, is capable of performing systematic local conformation analyses by exhaustive grid searches for arbitrary contiguous fragments of proteins and nucleic acids. It uses torsion angles as the only degrees of freedom to identify all conformations that fulfill the steric and NMR-derived conformational restraints within a contiguous molecular fragment, as defined either by limits on the maximal restraint violations or by the fragment-based DYANA target function value. Sets of mutually dependent torsion angles, for example in ribose rings, are treated as a single degree of freedom. The results of the local conformation analysis include allowed torsion angle ranges and stereospecific assignments for diastereotopic substituents, which are then included in the input of a subsequent structure calculation. FOUND can be used for grid searches comprising up to 13 torsion angles, such as the backbone of a complete α-helical turn or dinucleotide fragments in nucleic acids, and yields a significantly higher number of stereospecific assignments than the precursor grid search algorithm HABAS.

    Notes: Summary A new program package, XEASY, was written for interactive computer support of the analysis of NMR spectra for three-dimensional structure determination of biological macromolecules. XEASY was developed for work with 2D, 3D and 4D NMR data sets. It includes all the functions performed by the precursor program EASY, which was designed for the analysis of 2D NMR spectra, i.e., peak picking and support of sequence-specific resonance assignments, cross-peak assignments, cross-peak integration and rate constant determination for dynamic processes. Since the program utilizes the X-window system and the Motif widget set, it is portable on a wide range of UNIX workstations. The design objective was to provide maximal computer support for the analysis of spectra, while providing the user with complete control over the final resonance assignments. Technically important features of XEASY are the use and flexible visual display of ‘strips’, i.e., two-dimensional spectral regions that contain the relevant parts of 3D or 4D NMR spectra, automated sorting routines to narrow down the selection of strips that need to be interactively considered in a particular assignment step, a protocol of resonance assignments that can be used for reliable bookkeeping, independent of the assignment strategy used, and capabilities for proper treatment of spectral folding and efficient transfer of resonance assignments between spectra of different types and different dimensionality, including projected, reduced-dimensionality triple-resonance experiments.

    Notes: Summary The program GARANT (General Algorithm for Resonance AssignmeNT) for automated sequence-specific NMR assignment of proteins is based on the mapping of peaks predicted from the amino acid sequence onto the peaks observed in multidimensional spectra [C. Bartels, P. Güntert, M. Billeter and K. Wüthrich (1996) J. Comput. Chem., manuscript submitted for publication]. In this paper we demonstrate the potential of GARANT for the assignment of homologous proteins when either the three-dimensional structure or the chemical shifts of the parent protein are known. In these applications, GARANT utilizes supplementary information either in the form of interatomic distances derived from the three-dimensional structure, in order to add nuclear Overhauser effects reflecting the tertiary structure to the list of expected peaks, or in the form of the chemical shifts of the parent protein, in order to obtain a better estimate of the positions of the expected peaks. The procedure is illustrated with three different proteins: (i) a mutant form of Tendamistat (74 residues), using homonuclear 2D 1H NMR spectra and either the three-dimensional structure or the chemical shifts of the wild-type protein; (ii) the mutant Antp(C39S, W56S) homeodomain (68 residues), using homonuclear 2D 1H NMR spectra and the three-dimensional structure of the Antp(C39S) homeodomain; and (iii) free cyclophilin A (165 residues), using heteronuclear 3D NMR spectra and the three-dimensional structure of a cyclophilin A-cyclosporin A complex. In these three systems nearly complete assignment of the polypeptide backbone resonances and assignment of over 80% of the amino acid side-chain resonances was obtained without manual intervention.

    Notes: Abstract A high-quality NMR solution structure of the chimeric hybrid duplex r(gcaguggc)⋅r(gcca)d(CTGC) was determined using the program DYANA with its recently implemented new module FOUND, which performs exhaustive conformational grid searches for dinucleotides. To ensure conservative data interpretation, the use of 1H-1H lower distance limit constraints was avoided. The duplex comprises the tRNA–DNA junction formed during the initiation of HIV-1 reverse transcription. It forms an A-type double helix that exhibits distinct structural deviations from a standard A-conformation. In particular, the minor groove is remarkably narrow, and its width decreases from about 7.5 Å in the RNA/RNA stem to about 4.5 Å in the RNA/DNA segment. This is unexpected, since minor groove widths for A-RNA and RNA/DNA hybrid duplexes of ∼11 Å and ∼8.5 Å, respectively, were previously reported. The present, new structure supports that reverse transcriptase-associated RNaseH specificity is related primarily to conformational adaptability of the nucleic acid in 'induced-fit'-type interactions, rather than the minor groove width of a predominantly static nucleic acid duplex.

    Notes: Summary A full understanding of the way a drug interacts with its receptor, and thus of its function, relies on a complete description of the intermolecular interactions at atomic resolution. Besides X-ray crystallography, only nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy can provide the required structural data. NMR descriptions of drug-receptor complexes range from the plain identification of regions of the drug surface that contact the receptor to full characterizations of the three-dimensional structure of the complexes. In addition, NMR can be used for the detection of multiple conformations, the characterization of the presence and functional role of water molecules, and the measurement of internal dynamic processes that govern the binding and the action of a drug.

    Notes: A new program for automatic resonance assignment of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of proteins, GARANT (General Algorithm for Resonance Assignment), is introduced. Three principal elements used in this approach are: (a) representation of resonance assignments as an optimal match of two graphs describing, respectively, peaks expected from combined knowledge of the primary structure and the magnetization transfer pathways in the spectra used, and experimentally observed peaks; (b) a scoring scheme able to distinguish between correct and incorrect resonance assignments; and (c) combination of an evolutionary algorithm with a local optimization routine. The score that evaluates the match of expected peaks to observed peaks relies on the agreement of the information available about these peaks, most prominently, but not exclusively, the chemical shifts. Tests show that the combination of an evolutionary algorithm and a local optimization routine yields results that are clearly superior to those obtained when using either of the two techniques separately in the search for the correct assignments. GARANT is laid out for assignment problems involving peaks observed in two- and three-dimensional homonuclear and heteronuclear NMR spectra of proteins. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
