Abstract:
:Mouse epidermal growth factor (mEGF), a protein hormone effector molecule that regulates cellular development and division, has been investigated by using proton nuclear magnetic resonance techniques at 500 MHz. Well-resolved downfield aromatic and alpha-CH proton resonances (5.0-8.0 ppm) and an upfield ring current shifted isoleucine delta-methyl resonance (approximately 0.5 ppm) have been examined by using principally nuclear Overhauser methods. The data are analyzed in terms of model building based on the predictive Chou-Fasman secondary structure algorithm applied to mEGF [Holladay, L. A., Savage, C. R., Cohen, S., & Puett, D. (1976) Biochemistry 15, 2624-2633], which suggests the existence of some beta-structure and little or no alpha-helicity. Proximity relationships derived from nuclear Overhauser data among Tyr-3, -10, and -13, His-22, and Ile-23 allow refinement of some aspects of the predicted secondary structure and render additional information on how the protein backbone in mEGF is folded (i.e., tertiary structure). Nuclear Overhauser effects (NOEs) from irradiation of several alpha-CH proton resonances give evidence for tiered beta-sheet structure in mEGF. Such proximity relationships derived from NOE data place stringent limitations on possible models for the molecule. pH titration data demonstrate a His-22 pKa of 7.1, indicating either a salt bridge or hydrogen-bond formation between His-22 and another residue. The His-22 pKa is also reflected in the chemical shift changes of several other resonances as a function of pH. Nuclear Overhauser methods, used to differentiate direct (protonation) and indirect (conformation) effects on the chemical shift changes in the spectra of mEGF by varying the pH, yield evidence for a pH-induced conformational transition in the protein hormone associated with the breaking of the His-22 salt bridge or hydrogen bond.
