5 Written Answers 1. In the use of NMR to determine the structure of biomolecules the structural information is obtained primarily by measuring the nuclear Overhauser effect. a) Very briefly describe what the nuclear Overhauser effect results from and to what degree the effect depends upon distance. Give the maximum practical observable distance. The nuclear Overhauser effect results from an interaction between the magnetic dipoles of the individual nuclei. The effect depends on the distance between nuclei, and is greatest for nuclei separated by less than about 3 Å, and is observable when nuclei are separated by up to about 6 Å. The nuclear Overhauser effect therefore can be used to determine the distance between protons, when the distances are less than or equal to about 6 Å. b) Solving macromolecular structures by X-ray crystallography depends upon measurement of the electron density at each point within the unit cell. In turn, those measurements depend upon the intensities of the diffracted X-rays and the phases of the diffracted X-rays. Briefly describe two common methods (MIR and MAD) that can be used to solve the phase problem. The multiple isomorphous replacement (MIR) method: a) diffraction data (intensities) are measured for a "native" crystal. b) diffraction data (intensities) are measured for a "heavy atom derivative" crystal, prepared by soaking a heavy atom such as mercury into the crystal, or by incorporating selenomethionine. c) By comparing the native and derivative diffraction intensities, it is possible to calculate the phases for the native crystal. Note: usually at least two different heavy atom derivatives are required for the MIR method to work. d) Once phases are known, the electron density within the crystal can be calculated. A model of the protein structure can then be built into a map of the electron density. The "multiwavelength anomolous dispersion" (MAD) methods: Additional information used in calculating phases can be obtained if x-ray diffraction intensities can be measured at wavelengths near the absorption edge of the heavy atom derivative. A tunable x-ray source is required (provided by a synchroton). In a synchrotron, accelerated electrons traveling near the speed of light emit intense x-rays. Using "MAD" data: a) often only a single heavy atom derivative is required to solve a structure. b) it is possible to solve structure of higher molecular weight molecules (such as the ribosome, at MW = 2,500,000). c) Contrast the use of NMR and X-ray crystallography as applied to biomacromolecules. Address in particular the issues of any limitations on the size of the macromolecules whose structure can be determined by either technique; what types of information that can be determined by one technique and not the other and whether both techniques always give the same structure for a particular macromolecule (both proteins and nucleic acids).
6 NMR: - obtain a set of 1 H- 1 H distances, used to construct a model of the structure - better at the short-range detail - can be done in solution, i.e. does not require a crystal - MW limit : ~30,000 X-RAY: - obtain electron density map, into which structure is built - better at large-scale structural features - proteins can undergo re-arrangements upon crystallizing leading to inaccurate models - MW limit : ~2.5 x 10 6
7 2. From the amino acid structures listed below, answer the following questions: a. What is the name of amino acid A? _glutamine b. Which of the above amino acids has the highest isoelectric point? _lysine (C) _ c. Which of the above amino acids is classified as a basic amino acid? lysine (C) d. Which of the above amino acids absorbs light centered at 280 nm? tyrosine (D) e. What is the name of amino acid D? tyrosine f. What is the name of amino acid B? valine g. Draw the structure of tryptophan showing the charge on the molecule as it would be at ph 7. h. Draw the structure of the dipeptide pro-his (at ph 7), indicating the peptide bond. i. Name 2 sulfur containing amino acids methionine cysteine j. What is the approximate pk of the side chain amino group of lysine? 10.5
8 3. a) What is meant by the statement stacking interactions are important in stabilizing the structures of nucleic acids? Describe the nature of these interactions and give examples for both DNA and RNA molecules. "Stacking interactions" in nucleic acids refers to the tendency of purine and pyrimidine bases to form extended stacks of planar, parallel molecules, with at least partial overlap of the bases. These stacking interactions are a form of van der Waals interactions. The stacking interactions are stabilized by hydrophobic forces. b) Which of the following stacking interactions will provide more stability : purine-purine or pyrimidine-pyrimidine? Explain why. The degree of stability in stacking is proportional to the degree of overlap of the bases. Because of the greater possibility for overlap (and thus enhanced van der Waals interactions ) with the larger purine bases, purine-purine stacking provides more stability than pyrimidine-pyrimidine stacking. c) Bound metals are often found in RNA structures. What kinds of roles can the metals play? Bound metals in RNA can play a general role of neutralizing the charge on the phosphodiester bridges. Positively-charged ions such as those of Na, K, and Mg can bind electrostatically to the RNA and allow for foldings of the RNA that would otherwise have been made difficult by a concentration of negative charges on the phosphate groups. Such binding of metals is non-specific. Metal ions can also bind in some specific metal pockets, such as those in trna. Here the metal can stabilize specific forms of folding. d) Hydrogen bonding also plays a role in nucleic acid structure stabilization. In what important ways does it differ from stacking and metal ion interactions? While stacking interactions are relatively non-specific in nature, hydrogen bonding is highly specific and highly directional. For example, the G-C and A-T hydrogen bonding pairs involves not just a general purine-pyrimidine interaction but favors specific Watson-Crick base pairing. Even where non-watson-crick pairing occurs, it is still highly specific (see V&V p.866).
9 4. a) Using the simple expression E + S ES E + P as a basis, describe the effect of competitive and uncompetitive inhibitors. Competitive: E + S ES E + P + + I I Uncompetitive: E + S ES E + P " " EI ESI b) With a brief description and diagrams show how these two types of inhibitors can be distinguished by Lineweaver-Burk plots. c) Using aspartate transcarbamoylase as an example, contrast feedback inhibition of an enzyme with simple competitive and uncompetitive inhibition. Feedback inhibition of an enzyme occurs when a product of a reaction pathway (often many steps away from the inhibited reaction) binds to the enzyme and causes inhibition, e.g., inhibition by "E": A B C D E In the case of aspartate transcarbamoylase, it is inhibited by CTP - an end product of the pathway. By contrast to simple competitive and uncompetitive inhibition where the inhibition typically binds to the active site of the enzyme, feedback inhibitors bind at sites different from the active site and sometimes even on separate regulatory subunits (e.g., ATCase). Feedback inhibitors typically show sigmoidal kinetics of inhibition and nonlinear Lineweaver-Burk plots.
10 5. Studies of oxygen transport in pregnant mammals have shown that the O 2 -saturation curves of fetal and maternal blood are markedly different when measured under the same conditions. Fetal erythrocytes contain a structural variant of hemoglobin, HbF, consisting of two α and two γ subunits (α 2 γ 2 ), whereas maternal erythrocytes contain HbA (α 2 β 2 ). (a) Which hemoglobin has a higher affinity for oxygen under physiological conditions, HbA or HbF? Explain. HbF has a higher affinity. According to the graph, the P 50 for HbF is approx. 2kPa and that of HbA about 4kPa. The P 50 represents the oxygen concentration for half-maximal saturation. Thus, in the presence of BPG, it takes approx. half the oxygen tension to saturate HbF as it does HbA. (b) What is the physiological significance of the different O 2 affinities? It makes sense that HbF has a higher oxygen affinity as oxygen has to be transferred from the blood of the mother to that of the fetus. The binding of oxygen by hemoglobins is a dynamic process with O 2 binding and releasing. When an O 2 molecule is released from HbA, it is more likely to be bound by HbF than another HbA. (c) When all the BPG is carefully removed from samples of HbA and HbF, the measured O 2 -saturation curves (and consequently the O 2 affinities) are displaced to the left. However, HbA now has a greater affinity for oxygen than does HbF. When BPG is reintroduced, the O 2 - saturation curves return to normal, as shown in the grwph. What is the effect of BPG on the O 2 affinity of hemoglobin? How can the above information be used to explain the different O 2 affinities of fetal and maternal hemoglobin? BPG when bound to hemoglobins (1 tetramer in the central cavity), it decreases the oxygen affinity of that molecule by stabilizing the deoxy form. The above information indicates that the binding of BPG to HbA has a greater effect than does BPG binding to HbF. This suggests that BPG binds more tightly to HbA than HbF. Stronger binding of BPG by HbA than HbF indicates that the residues lining the central cavity of the deoxy HbA are different than those in HbF.
11 6. You have a polypeptide that has been degraded with cyanogen bromide (cleaves on the C- terminal side of methionines) and trypsin (cleaves on the C-terminal side of lysines and arginines). The sequences of the fragments are listed below (using the one-letter codes). Is there enough information to derive the complete amino acid sequence of the polypeptide? If so list the complete sequence. If not, show how much of the sequence you can derive. In both cases show your methodology. What other treatments might be used to support such a deduced sequence, or complete the sequencing? Cyanogen bromide treatment: Trypsin treatment: (1) K (5) FMK (2) RFM (6) GMNIK (3) MLYCRGM (7) GLMR (4) NIKGLM (8) MLYCR There is sufficient information to derive a complete polypeptide sequence. In order to predict the sequence, one has to examine what overlaps there are between the peptides derived from each cleavage treatment. The overlaps are illustrated below. MLYCRGM GMNIK NIKGLM GLMR RFM FMK Thus, the peptide sequence is MLYCRGMNIKGLMRFMK. To confirm the deduced sequence, perform one round of Edman degradation to verify that the N-terminus is methionine, and perform a brief carboxypeptidase A digestion to verify that lysine is at the C-terminus.
