    Abstract Vibrational spectroscopy is a powerful tool used to analyze biological and chemical samples. However, in proteins, the most predominant peaks that arise from the backbone amide groups overlap one another, hampering site-specific analyses. Isotope editing has provided a robust, noninvasive approach to overcome this hurdle. In particular, the 1-

    Abstract H-bonding is the predominant geometrical determinant of biomolecular structure and interactions. As such, considerable analyses have been undertaken to study its detailed energetics. The focus, however, has been mostly reserved for H-bonds comprising a single donor and a single acceptor. Herein, we measure the prevalence and energetics of multiplex H-bonds that are formed between three or more groups. We show that 92% of all transmembrane helices have at least one non-canonical H-bond formed by a serine or threonine residue whose hydroxyl side chain H-bonds to an over-coordinated carbonyl oxygen at position

    Abstract Hydrogen exchange is a powerful method to examine macromolecules. In membrane proteins, exchange can distinguish between solvent-accessible and -inaccessible residues due to shielding by the hydrophobic environment of the lipid bilayer. Herein, rather than examining which residues undergo hydrogen exchange, we employ a protocol that enables the full deuteration of all polar hydrogens in a membrane protein. We then measure the impact of hydrogen exchange on the shift of the amide I vibrational mode of individually labeled sites. The results enable us to correlate polarity with vibrational shifts, thereby providing a powerful tool to examine specific locations within a membrane protein in its native membrane environment.

    Abstract H-bonding is the predominant geometrical determinant of biomolecular structure and interactions. As such, considerable analyses have been undertaken to study its detailed energetics. The focus, however, has been mostly reserved for H-bonds comprising a single donor and a single acceptor. Herein, we measure the prevalence and energetics of multiplex H-bonds that are formed between three or more groups. We show that 92% of all transmembrane helices have at least one non-canonical H-bond formed by a serine or threonine residue whose hydroxyl side chain H-bonds to an over-coordinated carbonyl oxygen at position i–4, i–3, or i in the sequence. Isotope-edited FTIR spectroscopy, coupled with DFT calculations, enables us to determine the bond enthalpies, pointing to values that are up to 127% higher than that of a single canonical H-bond. We propose that these strong H-bonds serve to stabilize serine and threonine residues in hydrophobic environments while concomitantly providing them flexibility between different configurations, which may be necessary for function.

    Abstract The COVID-19 disease has plagued over 200 countries with over three million cases and has resulted in over 200,000 deaths within 3 months. To gain insight into the high infection rate of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, we compare the interaction between the human ACE2 receptor and the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein with that of other pathogenic coronaviruses using molecular dynamics simulations. SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, and HCoV-NL63 recognize ACE2 as the natural receptor but present a distinct binding interface to ACE2 and a different network of residue-residue contacts. SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 have comparable binding affinities achieved by balancing energetics and dynamics. The SARS-CoV-2-ACE2 complex contains a higher number of contacts, a larger interface area, and decreased interface residue fluctuations relative to the SARS-CoV-ACE2 complex. These findings expose an exceptional evolutionary exploration exerted by coronaviruses toward host recognition. We postulate that the versatility of cell receptor binding strategies has immediate implications for therapeutic strategies.

    Abstract Cdc48 (VCP/p97) is a major AAA-ATPase involved in protein quality control, along with its canonical cofactors Ufd1 and Npl4 (UN). Here, we present novel structural insights into the interactions within the Cdc48-Npl4-Ufd1 ternary complex. Using integrative modeling, we combine subunit structures with crosslinking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) to map the interaction between Npl4 and Ufd1, alone and in complex with Cdc48. We describe the stabilization of the UN assembly upon binding with the N-terminal-domain (NTD) of Cdc48 and identify a highly conserved cysteine, C115, at the Cdc48-Npl4-binding interface which is central to the stability of the Cdc48-Npl4-Ufd1 complex. Mutation of Cys115 to serine disrupts the interaction between Cdc48-NTD and Npl4-Ufd1 and leads to a moderate decrease in cellular growth and protein quality control in yeast. Our results provide structural insight into the architecture of the Cdc48-Npl4-Ufd1 complex as well as its in vivo implications.

    Abstract Soqotra, an island situated at the mouth of the Gulf of Aden in the northwest Indian Ocean between Africa and Arabia, is home to ~60,000 people subsisting through fishing and semi-nomadic pastoralism who speak a Modern South Arabian language. Most of what is known about Soqotri history derives from writings of foreign travellers who provided little detail about local people, and the geographic origins and genetic affinities of early Soqotri people has not yet been investigated directly. Here we report genome-wide data from 39 individuals who lived between ~650 and 1750 CE at six locations across the island and document strong genetic connections between Soqotra and the similarly isolated Hadramawt region of coastal South Arabia that likely reflects a source for the peopling of Soqotra. Medieval Soqotri can be modelled as deriving ~86% of their ancestry from a population such as that found in the Hadramawt today, with the remaining ~14% best proxied by an Iranian-related source with up to 2% ancestry from the Indian sub-continent, possibly reflecting genetic exchanges that occurred along with archaeologically documented trade from these regions. In contrast to all other genotyped populations of the Arabian Peninsula, genome-level analysis of the medieval Soqotri is consistent with no sub-Saharan African admixture dating to the Holocene. The deep ancestry of people from medieval Soqotra and the Hadramawt is also unique in deriving less from early Holocene Levantine farmers and more from groups such as Late Pleistocene hunter-gatherers from the Levant (Natufians) than other mainland Arabians. This attests to migrations by early farmers having less impact in southernmost Arabia and Soqotra and provides compelling evidence that there has not been complete population replacement between the Pleistocene and Holocene throughout the Arabian Peninsula. Medieval Soqotra harboured a small population that showed qualitatively different marriage practices from modern Soqotri, with first-cousin unions occurring significantly less frequently than today.
