Paramagnetic Constraints in Structure Determination

Implementation in Xplor-nih
Introduction
The collection of paramagnetic constraint data and the use of those data as a part of a structure determination is fairly straight forward. RDCs can be collected using either the J-modulation or HSQC-TROSY methods described in the RDC section. Paramagnetic relaxation enhancements (PREs) are collected based on attenuation of signal intensity in HSQC or TROSY spectra. When Curie contributions from paramagnetic metals dominate it will be convenient to make measurements at multiple field strengths as the effects are field squared dependent and field variation provides a useful way to probe different distance ranges. We have access to spectrometers operating from 600 to 900 MHz. Pseudocontact shifts (PCSs) are measured by comparison of HSQC (or TROSY) cross-peak positions in diamagnetic (La3+) and paramagnetic complexes (Dy3+ or Tb3+). Pairing of shifted and non-shifted peaks is facilitated by the fact that shifts in in both 1H and 15N dimensions are nearly equal on the ppm scale and are therefore connected by diagonal lines. Paramagnetic relaxation interferences (PRIs) produce differential effects on the α and β cross peaks of coupled HSQC spectra and the cross-correlation effects can be measured using experiments that we have developed for the measurement of correlation times from CSA/DD interference [1]. Integration of these data into structure characterization protocols in the NESG is accomplished using programs such as XPLOR-NIH [2,3] or REDCAT [4]. CYANA can also accommodate pseudocontact shifts.

Invoking pseudo-residues
In the protein sequence file, use “CYSM” to represent a cysteine residue conjugated to a MTSL molecule. If MTSL chain mobility is considered for ensemble averaging, use “C2M” or “C3M”, which allows averaging for 2 or 3 MTSL conformers.
Generate psf/mtf file and an extended pdb structure from the primary sequence, and examine the pseudo-residue structure by your favorite PDB viewer.
Ensemble averaging of PRE
Basics
(1)
Where Ne is the number of ensemble states, i.e. the number of conformers the protein has, Nm is the number of MTSL conformers used to represent chain mobility, e.g. Nm =3 if C3M is used, rij is the distance between the unpaired electron (approximated by MTSL oxygen OAB/OBB/OCB) and a proton for the i-th protein conformer and the j-th MTSL conformer.
To relate <r-6> to PRE, use Solomon-Bloembergen (SB) equation for delta R2:
(2)
Where,
(3)
Range of validity: Eq(3) is a good approximation when the amplitude of internal motions, including the motion among the protein and MTSL conformers, is small or when the time-scale of these motions is significantly longer than that of the global tumbling. For motions of both large amplitude and short time-scale, a more accurate description is by the SBMF equation [5]. It should be noted that the error from Eq(3) in the latter case is in the relaxation space, i.e., in <r-6>. The propagated error in the distance space r, which is of more interest to us for structure purpose, is usually quite small.
Implementation in Xplor-nih
Dealing with averaging
Xplor-nih-python provides a nice interface for using ensemble averaged potential energy.
To create such an instance,
from ensembleSimulation import EnsembleSimulation
esim = EnsembleSimulation("ensemble",ensembleSize)
ensembleSize is an integer number which specifies the number of alternative protein conformers, i.e., Ne in Eq (1).
To add an energy term to the potential list, such as PRE, do the following
(Read the inline comments on certain commands):
potList = PotList() !initiate the potential list for esim. This needs to be done only once
import prePot
pre1=prePot.PREPot("PRE_CT_1",open("pre_CT_1.tbl").read(),"normal")
pre2=prePot.PREPot("PRE_CT_2",open("pre_CT_2.tbl").read(),"normal")
pre3=prePot.PREPot("PRE_NT_1",open("pre_NT_1.tbl").read(),"normal")
pre4=prePot.PREPot("PRE_NT_2",open("pre_NT_2.tbl").read(),"normal")
! There are 4 pre input files. Read them into 4 pre pot terms, pre1, pre2, pre3, and pre4.
! You can combine them into one, but keeping separate is easier to manage.
allpre = (pre1,pre2,pre3,pre4)
tauc=30 ! tauc is 30ns. Tauc can be measured or estimated based on protein size.
for pre in allpre: !Define equation and parameters for PRE back-calcualtion
pre.setEquType("sb") !Use Solomon-Bloembergen equation
pre.setAveType("r-6") ! Averaging type for ambiguous PRE assignment
pre.setSclType("obsig")
pre.setRlxType("r2dd")
pre.setGammaI(26.752196)
pre.setSqn(0.5)
pre.setGfac(2.0)
pre.setTcType("fix")
pre.setTauC(tauc)
print " setting for ", pre.instanceName()
potList.add(pre) ! Add pre into potlist for ensemble averaging.
pass
Note that so far we only specified averaging of protein conformers, but we haven’t done so for MTSL conformers. To do this, we can use ambiguous assignment in the pre input file, such as “pre_CT_1.tbl”
assign (resid 149 and name HN) (resid 117 and (name OAB or name OBB or name OCB)) 106.2 6.1
Where, resid 117 is a C3M residue. The 106.2 ± 6.1 s-1 PRE on HN of resid 149 is <r-6> averaged by the 3 MTSL conformers with electron position represented by OAB, OBB, and OCB respectively. This averaging type is specified by “pre.setAveType("r-6")” in the pre setup loop.
Remove van der waals interaction among MTSL conformers
Note that the MTSL conformers are used to simulate motions, so they must not interfere with each other. Meanwhile, multiple MTSL labels are not simultaneously on the protein, therefore they shouldn’t interfere either. However, MTSL clash with native residues on the protein should be avoided. To express this in xplor language:
command(“””
vector identity ( store1 ) (chemical MM* or chemical CM* or chemical OM* or chemical NM* or chemical SM*)
vector identity ( store2 ) (known and not (store1 or (resname ANI)))
constraints
interaction (store1) (store1) weights * 1 vdw 0 end
interaction (store2) (known and not (resname ANI)) weights * 1 angl %f impr %f
end
“””)
Semi-Rigid-body dynamics
PRE is frequently used to dock two proteins of known structures. In this case, both proteins can be treated as rigid bodies during simulated annealing while the MTSL chains are variable. To realize this:
command("""
vector identity (store8) (name N or name HN or name CA or name HA or name C or name O)
""")
dyn.group( select('resid 17:178 and ((store8) or not (resid 176 or resid 117 or resid 83 or resid 55 or resid 59)) '))
In the example above, there are 5 C3M residues, 176, 117, 83, 55, and 59. Their side-chains are mobile. All other residues are grouped and therefore rigid.
To ensemble or not to ensemble
Some potential terms are not intended for ensemble averaging. Most of these are generic Xplor potentials, such as bond and angle energies. To signify this, use the “AvePot” command before adding them to the potential list.
potList.append( AvePot(XplorPot,"BOND") )
As a second example, NOEs may be treated as averaged between different protein conformers, or simply treated as related to each member individually, depending on how you want to treat them. For the former case,
enoe = create_NOEPot('enoe','noe.tbl')
potList.append( enoe )
For the latter case,
potList.append( AvePot(XplorPot,"NOE") )
