	abstract = {NMR spectroscopy was used to search for mechanistically significant differences in the local mobility of the main-chain amides of Bacillus circulans xylanase (BCX) in its native and catalytically competent covalent glycosyl-enzyme intermediate states. N-15 T-1, T-2, and N-15{H-1} NOE values were measured for similar to 120 out of 178 peptide groups in both the apo form of the protein and in BCX covalently modified at position Glu78 with a mechanism-based 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-xylobioside inactivator. Employing the model-free formalism of Lipari and Szabo, the measured relaxation parameters were used to calculate a global correlation time ( tau(m)) for the protein in each form (9.2 +/- 0.2 ns for apo-BCX; 9.8 +/- 0.3 ns for the modified protein), as well as individual order parameters for the main-chain NH bond vectors. Average values of the order parameters for the protein in the apo and complexed forms were S-2 = 0.86 +/- 0.04 and S-2 = 0.91 +/- 0.04, respectively. No correlation is observed between these order parameters and the secondary structure, solvent accessibility, or hydrogen bonding patterns of amides in either form of the protein. These results demonstrate that the backbone of BCX is well ordered in both states and that formation of the,glycosyl-enzyme intermediate leads to little change, in any, in the dynamic properties of BCX on the time scales sampled by N-15-NMR relaxation measurements.},

	abstract = {The 1,4-beta-glucanase CenC from Cellulomonas fimi contains two cellulose-binding domains, CBDN1 and CBDN2, arranged in tandem at its N-terminus. These homologous CBDs are distinct in their selectivity for binding amorphous and not crystalline cellulose. Multidimensional heteronuclear nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was used to determine the tertiary structure of CBDN2 in the presence of saturating amounts of cellopentaose. A total of 1996 experimental restraints were used to calculate an ensemble of 21 final structures for the protein. CBDN2 is composed of 11 beta-strands, folded into two antiparallel beta-sheets, with a topology of a jellyroll beta-sandwich. On the basis of patterns of chemical shift perturbations accompanying the addition of cellooligosaccharides, as well as the observation of intermolecular protein-sugar NOE interactions, the cellulose-binding site of CBDN2 was identified as a cleft that lies across one face of the beta-sandwich. The thermodynamic basis for the binding of cellooligosaccharides was investigated using isothermal titration calorimetry and NMR spectroscopy. Binding is enthalpically driven and consistent with a structural model involving hydrogen bonding between the equatorial hydroxyls of the glucopyranosyl rings and polar amino acid side chains lining the CBDN2 cleft. Affinity electrophoresis was used to determine that CBDN2 also binds soluble beta-1,4-linked polymers of glucose, including hydroxyethylcellulose and beta-1,3-1,4-glucans. This study complements a previous analysis of CBDN1 [Johnson, P. E., Joshi, M. D., Tomme, P., Kilburn, D. G., and McIntosh, L. P. (1996) Biochemistry 35, 14381-14394] and demonstrates that the homologous CBDs from CenC share very similar structures and sugar binding properties.},

	abstract = {Bacillus circulans xylanase (BCX) is a member of the family of low molecular weight endo-beta-(1,4)-xylanases. The main-chain H-1, C-13, and N-15 resonances of this 20.4-kDa enzyme were assigned using heteronuclear NMR experiments recorded on a combination of selectively and uniformly labeled protein samples. Using chemical shift, NOE, J coupling, and amide hydrogen exchange information, 14 beta-strands, arranged in a network of three beta-sheets, and a single cy-helix were identified in BCX. The NMR-derived secondary structure and beta-sheet topology agree closely with that observed in the crystal structure of this protein. The H-N of Ile 118 has a strongly upfield-shifted resonance at 4.03 ppm, indicative of a potential amide-aromatic hydrogen bond to the indole ring of Trp 71. This interaction, which is conserved in all low molecular weight xylanases of known structure, may play an important role in establishing the active site conformation of these enzymes. Following hen egg white and bacteriophage T4 lysozymes, B. circulans xylanase represents the third family of beta-glycanases for which extensive NMR assignments have been reported. These assignments provide the background for detailed studies of the mechanism of carbohydrate recognition and hydrolysis by this bacterial xylanase.},

A total of 1705 interproton nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE), 56 phi, 88 psi, 42 chi 1, 9 chi 2 dihedral angle, and 88 hydrogen-bond restraints were used to calculate 25 final structures. These structures have a rmsd from the average of 0.79 +/- 0.11 Angstrom for all backbone atoms excluding disordered termini and 0.44 +/- 0.05 Angstrom for residues with regular secondary structures. CBDN1 is composed of 10 beta-strands, folded into two antiparallel beta-sheets with the topology of a jelly-roll beta-sandwich. The strands forming the face of the protein previously determined by chemical shift perturbations to be responsible for cellooligosaccharide binding [Johnson, P. E., Tomme, P., Joshi, M. D., \& McIntosh, L. P. (1996) Biochemistry, 35, 13895-13906] are shorter than those forming the opposite side of the protein. This results in a 5-stranded binding cleft, containing a central strip of hydrophobic residues that is flanked on both sides by polar hydrogen-bonding groups. The presence of this cleft provides a structural explanation for the unique selectivity of CBDN1 for amorphous cellulose and other soluble oligosaccharides and the lack of binding to crystalline cellulose, The tertiary structure of CBDN1 is strikingly similar to that of the bacterial 1,3-1,4-beta-glucanases, as well as other sugar-binding proteins with jelly-roll folds.},

	abstract = {The members of the ets gene family of transcription factors are characterized by a conserved 85-residue DNA-binding region, termed the ETS domain, that lacks sequence homology to structurally characterized DNA-binding motifs. The secondary structure of the ETS domain of murine Ets-1 was determined on the basis of NMR chemical shifts, NOE and J-coupling constraints, amide hydrogen exchange, circular dichroism, and FT-IR spectroscopy. The ETS domain is composed of three a-helices (H) and four beta-strands (S) arranged in the order H1-S1-S2-H2-H3-S3-S4. The four-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet is the scaffold for a putative helix-turn-helix DNA recognition motif formed by helices 2 and 3. The 25 residues extending beyond the ETS domain to the native C-terminus of the truncated Ets-1 also contain a helical segment. On the basis of the similarity of this topology with that of catabolite activator protein (CAP), heat shock factor (HSF), and hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF-3 gamma), we propose that ets proteins are members of the superfamily of winged helix-turn-helix DNA-binding proteins.},
