The 3D structure of two unlabeled FK506 analogs, (R)- and (S)-[18-OH]ascomycin, when bound to [U-13C,15N]FKBP were determined by isotope-filtered 2D NMR experiments. The structures for the R and S isomers that bind tightly to FKBP but lack immunosuppressive activity are compared to each other and to the conformation of the potent immunosuppressant, ascomycin, when bound to FKBP. The results are interpreted in terms of calcineurin binding to the FKBP/ascomycin complex.

Phosphorylation of human erythrocyte ghost membrane proteins was found to be affected by micromolar calcium concentrations. Increasing Ca2+ concentration to 0.2 microM decreased spectrin (band 2) phosphorylation to 30 +/- 6% of control (to which no calcium was added). Decreasing calcium concentration by adding EGTA (0.2mM) to the standard membrane preparation increased spectrin phosphorylation to 575% control. This effect of Ca2+ was more pronounced at higher temperature. At 0 degree C, Ca2+ (0.05mM) had no effect on protein phosphorylation. Sodium fluoride like EGTA caused a four to five fold increase in phosphorylation. Pyrophosphate, a phosphoprotein phosphatase inhibator, had no effect. Once spectrin was phosphorylated in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP the addition of Ca2+ or EGTA did not decrease or increase its phosphorylation. It is suggested that calcium regulates spectrin phosphorylation either by decreasing kinase activity or by decreasing substrate availability.

A standard preparation of phosphorylase kinase from rabbit skeletal muscle contains 2 mol of phosphoserine/mol of alpha beta gamma delta. This basal stoichiometry is not influenced by application of propranolol and insulin in vivo; these serine phosphates could not be hydrolyzed by phosphatases of the muscle extract or by alkaline phosphatases. When the enzyme is purified in the presence of the protein phosphatase inhibitor sodium fluoride, it contains either 1 or 3 additional mol of phosphoserine/mol of alpha beta gamma delta, termed phosphatase-sensitive phosphates. Both classes of phosphates yield in formic acid one single 31P NMR signal of a narrow line width (approximately 3 Hz) very similar in chemical shift to free phosphoserine. Phosphoserine is also identified by its chemical shift when dissolved in 8 M guanidinium chloride and by its electrophoretic mobility after acid hydrolysis. By self-phosphorylation of phosphorylase kinase, 14 additional mol of phosphate/mol of alpha beta gamma delta was incorporated, and all were identified as phosphoserine by 31P NMR spectroscopy. In native phosphorylase kinase, the 31P NMR signals of both the basal and the phosphatase-sensitive phosphates are substantially broadened and reduced in intensity, indicating strong interactions of the phosphate groups with the protein. The basal and phosphatase-sensitive phosphates give in 8 M guanidinium chloride a homogeneous NMR signal above pH 6; it splits into a doublet below pH 6 and into a triplet below pH 5.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Triple resonance 3D NMR methods have been used to study the interaction between calcineurin B and a peptide fragment of calcineurin A for which it has high affinity (KD approximately 4 x 10(-7) M). Although calcineurin B aggregates at NMR concentrations of approximately 1 mM, in the presence of a target peptide fragment of calcineurin A it becomes monomeric and yields NMR spectra that are very similar to those reported previously for calcineurin B solubilized by the zwitterionic detergent CHAPS. Changes in chemical shifts between CHAPS- and peptide-solubilized calcineurin B are small which is indicative of no differences in secondary structure. Residues most affected by binding to target peptide are found primarily on the hydrophobic faces of the four helices, present in each of the two globular domains in calcineurin B, and in the loops connecting helices II and III, IV and V, and possibly in the C-terminal 12 residues, which also exhibit a change in mobility.

Backbone dynamics of the ligand- (FK506-) bound protein FKBP-12 (107 amino acids) have been examined using 15N relaxation data derived from inverse-detected two-dimensional 1H-15N NMR spectra. A model free formalism [Lipari & Szabo (1982) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 104, 4546-4559] was used to derive the generalized order parameter (S2), the effective correlation time for internal motions (tau e), and the chemical-exchange line width (R(ex)) based on the measured 15N relaxation rate constants (R1, R2) and 1H-15N heteronuclear NOEs. The final optimized overall correlation time (tau m) was 9.0 ns. The average order parameter (S2) describing the amplitude of motions on the picosecond time scale was found to be 0.88 +/- 0.04, indicating that internal flexibility is restricted along the entire polypeptide chain. In contrast to results obtained for uncomplexed FKBP, the 80's loop (residues 82-87) surrounding the ligand binding site was found to be rigidly fixed, indicating that internal motions at this site are damped significantly due to stabilizing noncovalent interactions with the FK506 molecule. Structural implications of these differences in picosecond mobility as well as possible implications for calcineurin recognition are discussed.

The binding of the FK506/FKBP-12 complex to calcineurin (CN), its putative target for immunosuppression, involves recognition of solvent-exposed regions of the ligand as well as FKBP-12 residues near the active site. The R42K, H87V double mutation of FKBP-12 decreases the CN affinity of the complex by 550-fold [Aldape, R. A., Futer, O., DeCenzo, M. T., Jarrett, B. P., Murcko, M. A., & Livingston, D. J. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 16029-16032]. This work reports the solution structure of 13C-labeled FK506 bound to R42K, H87V FKBP-12. Assignments and NOE measurements at three mixing times were made from inverse-detected 1H-13C NMR experiments. Structures were calculated by several different methods, including distance geometry, restrained molecular dynamics, and molecular dynamics with time-averaged restraints. The NMR structures of the ligand are very well defined by the NOE restraints and differ slightly from the X-ray structure in regions that are involved in crystal packing. Comparison with the NMR structure of FK506 bound to wild-type FKBP-12 reveals that the R42K, H87V mutation causes the ligand backbone near C16 to move by 2.5 to 4.5 A, reorients 15-MeO by 90 degrees, and shifts 13-MeO by approximately 1.5 A. FK506 appears to undergo a concerted, mutationally induced shift in the binding pocket, with the greatest changes occurring in the effector region of the drug. The altered effector conformation of mutant-bound FK506 may perturb interactions between the drug and CN, thus accounting for the effect of the double mutation upon the CN inhibitory activity of the complex.

The X-ray structure of a decameric form of a complex of human cyclophilin A (CypA) with the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin A (CsA) has been determined. The crystals of space group P43212 with cell dimensions a = b = 95.2 A, c = 280.0 A have five copies of the cyclophilin A/cyclosporin A complex in the asymmetric unit. The structure was solved by molecular replacement techniques, using a known cyclophilin A model. Procedures were developed to construct a self-rotation function using the results of cross-rotation searches. The comparison of experimental and constructed self-rotation maps was an important aid in selecting the correct rotation function solution. The translation functions revealed the presence of a cyclic pentamer. A crystallographic dimer axis passes through the non-crystallographic 5-fold rotation axis of the pentameric asymmetric unit, and generates a decameric "sandwich" of CypA/CsA heterodimers that has 52 symmetry. The five CypA/CsA protomers were refined independently using all data to 2.8 A giving a final crystallographic R-factor of 15.7%. Despite the constraints due to the packing arrangement within the decamer, the CypA and CsA conformations are similar to other CypA/CsA structures determined by X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. The hydrophobic CsA molecules are embedded in the middle of the decameric sandwich with only 20% of their surface exposed to solvent. The binding loop of CsA (residues 1 to 3 and 9 to 11) comprising 42% of the CsA surface, is buried in the peptidyl-prolyl-cis-trans isomerase active site of the cognate binding partner CypA, while the effector loop (residues 4 to 8) packs in the core of the decamer making hydrogen-bonding and van der Waals contacts with three neighbouring molecules. The environment of CsA in the decamer has been analysed and may provide a mimic for the interactions likely to occur between the CypA/CsA complex and its biological target calcineurin. There is no evidence to suggest that the decameric sandwich itself plays a role in immunosuppression by inhibiting calcineurin. However, the chaperone/foldase activity of CypA could require oligomer formation for its biological function.

The solution structure of the periplasmic cyclophilin type cis-trans peptidyl-prolyl isomerase from Escherichia coli (167 residues, MW > 18.200) has been determined using multidimensional heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy and distance geometry calculations. The structure determination is based on a total of 1720 NMR-derived restraints (1566 distance and 101 phi and 53 chi 1 torsion angle restraints). Twelve distance geometry structures were calculated, and the average root-mean-square (rms) deviation about the mean backbone coordinate positions is 0.84 +/- 0.18 A for the backbone atoms of residues 5-165 of the ensemble. The three-dimensional structure of E. coli cyclophilin consists of an eight-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet barrel capped by alpha-helices. The average coordinates of the backbone atoms of the core residues of E. coli cyclophilin have an rms deviation of 1.44 A, with conserved regions in the crystal structure of unligated human T cell cyclophilin [Ke, H. (1992) J. Mol. Biol. 228, 539-550]. Four regions proximal to the active site differ substantially and may determine protein substrate specificity, sensitivity to cyclosporin A, and the composite drug:protein surface required to inhibit calcineurin. A residue essential for isomerase activity in human T cell cyclophilin (His126) is replaced by Tyr122 in E. coli cyclophilin without affecting enzymatic activity.

The calmodulin- and calcium-stimulated protein phosphatase calcineurin, PP2B, consists of two subunits: calcineurin B, which binds Ca2+, and calcineurin A, which contains the catalytic site and a calmodulin binding site. Heteronuclear 3D and 4D NMR experiments were carried out on a recombinant human calcineurin B which is a 170-residue protein of molecular mass 19.3 kDa, uniformly labeled with 15N and 13C. The nondenaturing detergent CHAPS was used to obtain a monomeric form of calcineurin B. Three-dimensional triple resonance experiments yielded complete sequential assignment of the backbone nuclei (1H, 13C, and 15N). This assignment was verified by a 4D HN(COCA)NH experiment carried out with 50% randomly deuteriated and uniformly 15N- and 13C-enriched calcineurin B. The secondary structure of calcineurin B has been determined on the basis of the 13C alpha and 13C beta secondary chemical shifts, J(HNH alpha) couplings, and NOE connectivities obtained from 3D 15N-separated and 4D 13C/15N-separated NOESY spectra. Calcineurin B has eight helices distributed in four EF-hand, helix-loop-helix [Kretsinger, R. H. (1980) CRC Crit. Rev. Biochem. 8, 119-174] calcium binding domains. The secondary structure of calcineurin B is highly homologous to that of calmodulin. In comparison to calmodulin, helices B and C are shorter while helix G is considerably longer. As was observed for calmodulin in solution, calcineurin B does not have a single long central helix; rather, helices D and E are separated by a six-residue sequence in a flexible nonhelical conformation.

Phosphotyrosyl protein phosphatases play an important role in mediating cellular signal transduction; yet three-dimensional structures of this important class of proteins have not been reported. We present the sequence-specific 1H, 13C, and 15N backbone assignments for the low molecular weight bovine heart phosphotyrosyl protein phosphatase (BHPTPase) (157 residues, 17,900). The assignments were obtained from a combination of double- and triple-resonance multidimensional NMR experiments. From these assignments, the secondary structure of BHPTPase was determined from an analysis of NOE patterns, 3JHNH alpha coupling constants, 13C alpha and 13CO chemical shifts, and amide 1H exchange rates. BHPTPase was found to consist of a four-stranded parallel beta-sheet (residues K6-C12, W39-A45, Y87-M91, and K112-L116), four alpha-helices (residues I21-D32, R58-G67, S94-N104, and D135-R157), and one stretch of beta 10-helix (residues K79-F85). The secondary structure is characteristic of the beta alpha beta structural motif. The secondary structure elements identified in this study are consistent with previous chemical and mutagenesis studies of BHPTPase structure.
