Protein structure and DNA recognition studies are ongoing using three systems: So, the product of the sine oculis gene, is a new neurogenic homeodomain protein from Drosophila which has recently been cloned in Dr. O'Tousa's lab at Notre Dame. We have overproduced and purified the 63 amino acid homeodomain from E coli with ~20mg/l yield. Pbx1, is a human proto-oncogene with sequence similarity to So. We are interested in identifying the structure and function of homologous sequences outside the classical homeodomain. Monomeric variants of the lambda Cro Repressor (Mossing and Sauer -- Science 250 1712 (1990)). Assignments are complete (including 15N) for two variants which differ in the sequence of an engineered beta hairpin. Second generation structural and DNA-recognition variants are being constructed for protein stability and DNA complex studies. The College of Science NMR facility has a Varian Unity 500 MHz spectrometer and will install a 600 MHz UNITYplus instrument with triple resonance and pulse field gradient capabilities within the month. Two new UNITYplus 300 MHz spectrometers are also being installed.

INTRODUCTION: I am studying a short peptide (21 residues). This peptide forms a multimeric species in solution. From sedimentation studies I know its octamer. CD and NMR data strongly suggest the existence of the alpha-helical structure in solution. On the basis of the H-D exchange exps. I have built a model of octamer - the bundle of 4 dimers. Each dimer contains two antiparallel alpha-helical units (head-to-tail arrangement). My model is based purely on the H-D exchange data. No intermolecular NOEs have been used to construct the model because I simply do not have them (I do not have this molecule 15N- or 13C-labeled). On the basis of the intramolecular NOEs and J coupling constants (194 constraints), using DSPACE, I have calculated the structure of the monomeric unit which is mostly alpha-helical except the two first residues which are dangling. So my next obvious step using DISCOVER would be to calculate the structure of the octamer. However, ..... QUESTIONS: (1) Does anybody in this group have experience with the rMD calculations on the multimeric species of identical subunits (Simulated Annealing Protocol)? (2) How to keep (constrain) these subunits together not having any experimental NOEs? (3) How to deal with the so called hydrophobic interactions within the DISCOVER? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance to everyone. Karol Maskos ---------------------+----------------------------I Dr. Karol Maskos | maskos@chsgi.chem.lsu.edu I Dept.

IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN THE AMERICAS OR PACIFIC RIM COUNTRIES, please send a message to biosci@net.bio.net Instructions will be returned automatically, so the contents of your message do not matter. IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN EUROPE, AFRICA OR CENTRAL ASIA, please send a message to MXT@dl.ac.uk containing the word help in the body of the message to retrieve e-mail server instructions. Any text placed on the Subject: line of your message will be ignored, so be sure to put the "help" command in the body of the message. If you need personal assistance, a BIOSCI staff member can be contacted at either of the following addresses. Please contact the address designated for your location. Support Address Location --------------- -------- biosci@daresbury.ac.uk Europe, Africa, and Central Asia biosci-help@net.bio.net Americas and the Pacific Rim **** SEARCHING BIOSCI ARCHIVES **** The easiest way to search the BIOSCI archives is to use gopher software and connect over the Internet to net.bio.net, the U.S. BIOSCI computer. We maintain three indexes which are searchable from the main gopher menu on net.bio.net: (1) an index of all BIOSCI postings; (2) an index of individual journal article references from the Table of Contents postings on the BIO-JOURNALS newsgroup; and (3) an index of BIOSCI users including regular mail and e-mail addresses, phone/FAX numbers, research interests, and newsgroup participation. E-mail users can search the BIOSCI archives by using our waismail e-mail server. For instructions send the message help to waismail@net.bio.net. Leave the Subject: line blank (anything entered on the Subject: line is ignored). WAIS software can also be used to search the archives as described in the BIOSCI FAQ (see below). Finally, the BIOSCI archive files are accessible by anonymous FTP to net.bio.net [134.172.2.69] in the directory pub/BIOSCI. **** BIOSCI FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) SHEET **** New users of BIOSCI/bionet may want to read the "Frequently Asked Questions" or "FAQ" sheet for BIOSCI. The FAQ provides details on how to participate in these forums and is available for anonymous FTP from net.bio.net [134.172.2.69] in pub/BIOSCI/doc/biosci.FAQ or for retrieval by gopher to net.bio.net, port 70. It may also be requested by sending the command info faq in the body of an e-mail message to the Internet address biosci-server@net.bio.net. Please do not enter the info faq command on the Subject: line of your message since the e-mail server ignores text on the Subject: line. The FAQ is also posted on the first of each month to the newsgroup BIONEWS/bionet.announce immediately following the posting of the BIOSCI information sheet. **** BIOSCI USER ADDRESS DIRECTORY **** Please take this opportunity to add your name and address information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. Below is the address form that we would like each reader of the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups to complete and return if you would like to be listed in our database. The database serves as a directory that enables biologists, who are currently using (or even just reading) the BIOSCI newsgroups, to look up e-mail addresses and other information about our users. The address database is reindexed nightly for WAIS, waismail, and gopher access. If you have access to gopher, connect to net.bio.net to search the database. If you have access to WAIS, please use our WAIS source biologists-addresses.src. If you are not on the Internet, please use our waismail server (send the word "help" to waismail@net.bio.net to get instructions; any text on the Subject: line of your message will be ignored, so put the help command in the body of the mail message.).

The reason for this does not seem to be spin diffusion, as the peaks show up with the right sign in ROESY spectra and they're still visible in the NOESY spectra with short mixing times (150ms for a 35 residue peptide). The only other explanation I can think of is that cis/trans isomerism of the peptide bond is involved, but that does not seem very plausible. We've also been searching for possible conformations with trans peptide bonds in which the two alfa's are (relatively) near, and the shortest distance possible here is about 4.3 angstrom. Since it's a flexible molecule, maybe turns are formed in which the two alfa's are close enough? We're a bit at a loss at this time, so we'd really appreciate any help!
