The structure and dynamics of the urea-denatured B1 immunoglobulin binding domain of streptococcal protein G (GB1) has been investigated by multidimensional heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy. Complete 1H, 15N, and 13C assignments are obtained by means of sequential through-bond correlations. The nuclear Overhauser enhancement, chemical shift, and 3JHN alpha coupling constant data provide no evidence for the existence of any significant population of residual native or nonnative ordered structure. 15N relaxation measurements at 500 and 600 MHz, however, provide evidence for conformationally restricted motions in three regions of the polypeptide that correspond to the second beta-hairpin, the N-terminus of the alpha-helix, and the middle of the alpha-helix in the native protein. The time scale of these motions is longer than the apparent overall correlation time (approximately 3 ns) and could range from about 6 ns in the case of one model to between 4 microseconds and 2 ms in another; it is not possible to distinguish between these two cases with certainty because the dynamics are highly complex and hence the analysis of the time scale of this slower motion is highly model dependent. It is suggested that these three regions may correspond to nucleation sites for the folding of the GB1 domain. With the exception of the N- and C-termini, where end effects predominate, the amplitude of the subnanosecond motions, on the other hand, are fairly uniform and model independent, with an overall order parameter S2 ranging from 0.4 to 0.5.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.
