    Abstract Many types of human cancers are being treated with small molecule ATP-competitive inhibitors targeting the kinase domain of receptor tyrosine kinases. Despite initial successful remission, long-term treatment almost inevitably leads to the emergence of drug resistance mutations at the gatekeeper residue hindering the access of the inhibitor to a hydrophobic pocket at the back of the ATP-binding cleft. In addition to reducing drug efficacy, gatekeeper mutations elevate the intrinsic activity of the tyrosine kinase domain leading to more aggressive types of cancer. However, the mechanism of gain-of-function by gatekeeper mutations is poorly understood. Here, we characterized fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) tyrosine kinases harboring two distinct gatekeeper mutations using kinase activity assays, NMR spectroscopy, bioinformatic analyses, and MD simulations. Our data show that gatekeeper mutations destabilize the autoinhibitory conformation of the DFG motif locally and of the kinase globally, suggesting they impart gain-of-function by facilitating the kinase's ability to populate the active state.

    Abstract Despite recent progress, it remains challenging to program biomacromolecules to assemble into discrete nanostructures with pre-determined sizes and topologies. We report here a novel strategy to address this challenge. By using two orthogonal pairs of heterodimeric coiled coils as the building blocks, we constructed six discrete supramolecular assemblies, each composed of a prescribed number of coiled coil components. Within these assemblies, different coiled coils were connected via end-to-side covalent linkages strategically pre-installed between the non-complementary pairs. The overall topological features of two highly complex assemblies, a "barbell" and a "quadrilateral" form, were characterized experimentally and were in good agreement to the designs. This work expands the design paradigms for peptide-based discrete supramolecular assemblies and will provide a route for de novo fabrication of functional protein materials.

    Abstract Multidrug exporters are a class of membrane proteins that remove antibiotics from the cytoplasm of bacteria and in the process confer multidrug resistance to the organism. This chapter outlines the sample preparation and optimization of oriented solid-state NMR experiments applied to the study of structure and dynamics for the model transporter EmrE from the small multidrug resistance (SMR) family.

    Abstract Transporters from bacteria to humans contain inverted repeat domains thought to arise evolutionarily from the fusion of smaller membrane protein genes. Association between these domains forms the functional unit that enables transporters to adopt distinct conformations necessary for function. The small multidrug resistance (SMR) family provides an ideal system to explore the role of mutations in altering conformational preference since transporters from this family consist of antiparallel dimers that resemble the inverted repeats present in larger transporters. Here, we show using NMR spectroscopy how a single conservative mutation introduced into an SMR dimer is sufficient to change the resting conformation and function in bacteria. These results underscore the dynamic energy landscape for transporters and demonstrate how conservative mutations can influence structure and function.

    Abstract Design of undergraduate laboratory courses that provide meaningful research-based experiences enhance undergraduate curricula and prepare future graduate students for research careers. In this article, a Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) laboratory module was designed for upper-division undergraduate biochemistry and chemistry students. The laboratory module enabled students to build upon recently published data in the literature to decipher atomistic insight for an essential protein-protein interaction in human biology through the use of biomolecular NMR spectroscopy. Students compared their results with published data with the goal of identifying specific regions of the protein-protein interaction responsible for triggering an allosteric conformational change. The laboratory module introduced students to basic and advance laboratory techniques, including protein purification, NMR spectroscopy, and analysis of protein structure using molecular visualization software.

    Abstract NMR spectroscopy is commonly used to infer site-specific acid dissociation constants (pKₐ) since the chemical shift is sensitive to the protonation state. Methods that probe atoms nearest to the functional groups involved in acid/base chemistry are the most sensitive for determining the protonation state. In this work, we describe a magic-angle-spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR approach to measure chemical shifts on the side chain of the anionic residues aspartate and glutamate. This method involves a combination of double quantum spectroscopy in the indirect dimension and REDOR dephasing to provide a sensitive and resolved view of these amino acid residues that are commonly involved in enzyme catalysis and membrane protein transport. To demonstrate the applicability of the approach, we carried out measurements using a microcrystalline soluble protein (ubiquitin) and a membrane protein embedded in lipid bilayers (EmrE). Overall, the resolution available from the double quantum dimension and confidence in identification of aspartate and glutamate residues from the REDOR filter make this method the most convenient for characterizing protonation states and deriving pKₐ values using MAS solid-state NMR.
