Structure-based analysis of protein dynamics: comparison of theoretical results for hen lysozyme with X-ray diffraction and NMR relaxation data

Abstract

An analytical approach based on Gaussian network model (GNM) is proposed for predicting the rotational dynamics of proteins. The method, previously shown to successfully reproduce X-ray crystallographic temperature factors for a series of proteins is extended here to predict bond torsional mobilities and reorientation of main chain amide groups probed by 15N-H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation. The dynamics of hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) in the folded state is investigated using the proposed approach. Excellent agreement is observed between theoretical results and experimental (X-ray diffraction and NMR relaxation) data. The analysis reveals the important role of coupled rotations, or cross-correlations between dihedral angle librations, in defining the relaxation mechanism on a local scale. The crystal and solution structures exhibit some differences in their local motions, but their global motions are identical. Hinge residues mediating the cooperative movements of the alpha- and beta-domains are identified, which comprise residues in helix C, Glu35 and Ser36 on the loop succeeding helix B, Ile55 and Leu56 at the turn between strands II and III. The central part of the beta-domain long loop and the turn between strands I and II display an enhanced mobility. Finally, kinetically hot residues and key interactions are identified, which point at helix B and beta-strand III as the structural elements underlying the stability of the tertiary structure.
