A new bifunctional spin-label suitable for saturation-transfer EPR studies of protein rotational motion.

Abstract:

:A new bifunctional spin-label (BSL) has been synthesized that can be immobilized on the surface of proteins, allowing measurement of rotational motion of proteins by saturation-transfer electron paramagnetic resonance (STEPR). The spin-label contains a photoactivatable azido moiety, a cleavable disulfide, and a nitroxide spin with restricted mobility relative to the rest of the label. The label reacts with surface lysine residues modified with beta-mercaptopropionate. Bifunctional attachment is achieved by photoactivation of the azido group. Any spin-label that remains monofunctionally attached after photolysis is removed by reduction of the disulfide. Only bifunctionally attached BSL remains on the protein. Hemoglobin was used to test the utility of the BSL in STEPR by comparison with hemoglobin modified with maleimide spin-label (MSL), a commonly used standard for the STEPR technique. MSL is a monofunctional spin-label which is fortuitously immobilized by local protein structure within hemoglobin. The BSL labeling of hemoglobin did not significantly affect the quaternary structure of hemoglobin as determined by gel filtration chromatography. The conventional EPR spectra of the mono- and bifunctionally attached BSL-hemoglobin were similar to the MSL-hemoglobin spectrum, indicating that both forms of BSL were rigidly bound to hemoglobin. In contrast, the spectrum obtained by reaction of modified hemoglobin lysine residues with MSL indicated that these labels were highly mobile. The monofunctionally attached BSL was mobilized upon octyl glucoside addition whereas bifunctionally attached BSL was only slightly mobilized, suggesting that hydrophobic interactions immobilize the monofunctionally attached label on hemoglobin. The response of STEPR spectra of mono- and bifunctionally attached BSL-hemoglobin to changes in hemoglobin rotational correlation time was similar to the MSL-hemoglobin over the range of 10(-5)-10(-3) s. The spectra of bifunctionally attached BSL indicated slightly less motion than corresponding spectra for MSL or monofunctionally attached BSL. The new BSL is a good reporter of protein rotation and does not require unique protein structures for its immobilization on the protein. Thus, the BSL should be more generally applicable for STEPR studies of membrane protein rotation than existing monofunctional spin-labels.
