Use of lanthanide-induced nuclear magnetic resonance shifts for determination of protein structure in solution: EF calcium binding site of carp parvalbumin.
The binding of the paramagnetic lanthanide ion ytterbium to the calcium binding protein carp parvalbumin results in a series of 1H NMR resonances which are shifted far outside the envelope of the 1H NMR spectrum of the diamagnetic form of the protein; bound Yb3+ also induces shifts in the 13C NMR spectrum of parvalbumin and in the 113Cd NMR spectrum of cadmium-substituted parvalbumin. The interpretation of these lanthanide-shifted resonances in terms of the structure of the protein surrounding the metal binding site requires the determination of the orientation and principal elements of the magnetic susceptibility tensor of the protein-bound Yb3+ ion. A previous comparison [Lee, L., & Sykes, B. D. (1982) Biomolecular Structure Determination by NMR (Bothner-By, A. A., Glickson, J. D., & Sykes, B. D., Eds.) pp 169-188, Marcel Dekker, New York] of the observed Yb3+-shifted 1H NMR spectrum of parvalbumin with a calculated spectrum, based upon the X-ray structure and an initial determination of the magnetic susceptibility tensor, led to the conclusion that there were significant differences between the solution and X-ray structures. In this paper, the magnetic susceptibility tensor has been reevaluated with the aid of newly assigned 13C and 113Cd NMR resonances. The agreement between the calculated and observed spectra is now close overall.
