    Abstract Summary: The FliG protein plays a pivotal role in switching the rotational direction of the flagellar motor between clockwise and counterclockwise. Although we previously showed that mutations in the Gly-Gly linker of FliG induce a defect in switching rotational direction, the detailed molecular mechanism was not elucidated. Here, we studied the structural changes in the FliG fragment containing the middle and C-terminal regions, named FliGMC, and the switch-defective FliGMC-G215A, using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and molecular dynamics simulations. NMR analysis revealed multiple conformations of FliGMC, and the exchange process between these conformations was suppressed by the G215A residue substitution. Furthermore, changes in the intradomain orientation of FliG were induced by changes in hydrophobic interaction networks throughout FliG. Our finding applies to FliG in a ring complex in the flagellar basal body, and clarifies the switching mechanism of the flagellar motor.

    Abstract: We present a general approach in 1H-detected 13C solid-state NMR (SSNMR) for side-chain signal assignments of 10-50 nmol quantities of proteins using a combination of a high magnetic field, ultra-fast magic-angle spinning (MAS) at ~80 kHz, and stereo- ... ...

    Abstract We present a general approach in 1H-detected 13C solid-state NMR (SSNMR) for side-chain signal assignments of 10-50 nmol quantities of proteins using a combination of a high magnetic field, ultra-fast magic-angle spinning (MAS) at ~80 kHz, and stereo-array-isotope-labeled (SAIL) proteins [Kainosho M. et al., Nature 440, 52-57, 2006]. First, we demonstrate that 1H indirect detection improves the sensitivity and resolution of 13C SSNMR of SAIL proteins for side-chain assignments in the ultra-fast MAS condition. 1H-detected SSNMR was performed for micro-crystalline ubiquitin (~55 nmol or ~0.5mg) that was SAIL-labeled at seven isoleucine (Ile) residues. Sensitivity was dramatically improved by 1H-detected 2D 1H/13C SSNMR by factors of 5.4-9.7 and 2.1-5.0, respectively, over 13C-detected 2D 1H/13C SSNMR and 1D 13C CPMAS, demonstrating that 2D 1H-detected SSNMR offers not only additional resolution but also sensitivity advantage over 1D 13C detection for the first time. High 1H resolution for the SAIL-labeled side-chain residues offered reasonable resolution even in the 2D data. A 1H-detected 3D 13C/13C/1H experiment on SAIL-ubiquitin provided nearly complete 1H and 13C assignments for seven Ile residues only within ~2.5 h. The results demonstrate the feasibility of side-chain signal assignment in this approach for as little as 10 nmol of a protein sample within ~3 days. The approach is likely applicable to a variety of proteins of biological interest without any requirements of highly efficient protein expression systems.
