- Abstract
For the purpose of equilibrium and kinetic folding-unfolding studies, the SH3 domain of α-spectrin (spc-SH3) has long been considered a classic two-state folding protein. In this work we have indeed observed that the thermal unfolding curves of spc-SH3 measured at pH 3.0 by differential scanning calorimetry, circular dichroism, and NMR follow apparently the two-state model when each unfolding profile is considered individually. Nevertheless, we have found that protein concentration has a marked effect upon the thermal unfolding profiles. This effect cannot be properly explained in terms of the two-state unfolding model and can only be interpreted in terms of the accumulation of intermediate associated states in equilibrium with the monomeric native and unfolded states. By chemical cross-linking and pulsed-field gradient NMR diffusion experiments we have been able to confirm the existence of associated states formed during spc-SH3 unfolding. A three-state model, in which a dimeric intermediate state is assumed to be significantly populated, provides the simplest interpretation of the whole set of thermal unfolding data and affords a satisfactory explanation for the concentration effects observed. Whereas at low concentrations the population of the associated intermediate state is negligible and the unfolding process consequently takes place in a two-state fashion, at concentrations above ~0.5 mM the population of the intermediate state becomes significant at temperatures between 45°C and 80°C and reaches up to 50% at the largest concentration investigated. The thermodynamic properties of the intermediate state implied by this analysis fall in between those of the unfolded state and the native ones, indicating a considerably disordered conformation, which appears to be stabilized by oligomerization.

9. Thermodynamic characterization of 5'-AMP binding to bovine liver glycogen phosphorylase a.

- Abstract
The binding of adenosine 5'-monophosphate to liver glycogen phosphorylase a (EC 2.4.1.1) has been studied by size exclusion high performance liquid chromatography and isothermal titration microcalorimetry at pH 6.9 over a temperature range of 25 to 35 degrees C. The results are compared with those of the binding of the same nucleotide to the muscle isozyme and to liver phosphorylase b. Calorimetric measurements in various buffer systems with different ionization heats suggest that protons are released during the binding of the nucleotide. The dimer of liver glycogen phosphorylase a has been shown to have two equal and independent sites for 5'-AMP, which would correspond to the activator sites identified in the muscle isozyme. The binding constants as well as the changes in Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and entropy per site for 5'-AMP binding were calculated at each temperature. The results show that the major contribution to the negative value of DeltaG0 stems from the value of DeltaH in the range of 25 to 35 degrees C. The enthalpy change of binding is strongly temperature-dependent, arising from a large negative DeltaCp of binding equal to -1.45 +/- 0.02 kJ K-1 (mol of 5'-AMP bound)-1, which suggests significant changes in the polar and apolar surfaces accessible to the solvent.

- Abstract
The binding of AMP to rabbit muscle glycogen phosphorylase a (EC 2.4.1.1.) has been studied by equilibrium dialysis and isothermal microcalorimetry at pH 6.9 over a temperature range of 25 degrees C to 35 degrees C. Thermal titration experiments were carried out in various buffer systems. We have found by these methods that a certain number of protons are released when the protein binds to the ligand and are taken up by the buffer. The tetramer of phosphorylase a has been shown to have four equal and independent, non-cooperative binding sites for AMP at 25 degrees C, 30 degrees C, and 35 degrees C; these sites can be assigned to the so-called nucleotide or, activator, sites in the protein. The binding constants together with the changes in Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and entropy per site for the AMP binding were calculated at each temperature. A negative delta Cp value of -2.3 +/- 0.2 J K-1 (AMP bound)-1 was obtained for this binding process. The hydrophobic and vibrational contributions of the heat capacity and entropy changes have been resolved by the method described by Sturtevant (Sturtevant, J. M. (1977) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 74, 2236-2240). From this analysis, it appears that the binding is, in all cases, enthalpy-driven, the two entropic contributions, hydrophobic and vibrational, having opposing effects.

- Abstract
The CD2AP (CD2-associated protein) and CIN85 (Cbl-interacting protein of 85 kDa) adaptor proteins each employ three Src homology 3 (SH3) domains to cluster protein partners and ensure efficient signal transduction and down-regulation of tyrosine kinase receptors. Using NMR, isothermal titration calorimetry and small-angle X-ray scattering methods, we have characterized several binding modes of the N-terminal SH3 domain (SH3A) of CD2AP and CIN85 with two natural atypical proline-rich regions in CD2 (cluster of differentiation 2) and Cbl-b (Casitas B-lineage lymphoma), and compared these data with previous studies and published crystal structures. Our experiments show that the CD2AP-SH3A domain forms a type II dimer with CD2 and both type I and type II dimeric complexes with Cbl-b. Like CD2AP, the CIN85-SH3A domain forms a type II complex with CD2, but a trimeric complex with Cbl-b, whereby the type I and II interactions take place at the same time. Together, these results explain how multiple interactions among similar SH3 domains and ligands produce a high degree of diversity in tyrosine kinase, cell adhesion or T-cell signaling pathways., (© 2013 FEBS.)

- Abstract
Site-directed mutagenesis has been used to produce local stability changes at two regions of the binding site surface of the alpha-spectrin SH3 domain (Spc-SH3) differing in their intrinsic stability. Mutations were made at residue 56, located at the solvent-exposed side of the short 3(10) helix, and at residue 21 in the tip of the flexible RT-loop. NMR chemical-shift analysis and X-ray crystallography indicated negligible changes produced by the mutations in the native structure limited to subtle rearrangements near the mutated residue and at flexible loops. Additionally, mutations do not alter importantly the SH3 binding site structure, although produce significant changes in its affinity for a proline-rich decapeptide. The changes in global stability measured by differential scanning calorimetry are consistent the local energy changes predicted by theoretical models, with the most significant effects observed for the Ala-Gly mutations. Propagation of the local stability changes throughout the domain structure has been studied at a per-residue level of resolution by NMR-detected amide hydrogen-deuterium exchange (HX). Stability propagation is remarkably efficient in this small domain, apparently due to its intrinsically low stability. Nevertheless, the HX-core of the domain is not fully cooperative, indicating the existence of co-operative subunits within the core, which is markedly polarized. An equilibrium phi-analysis of the changes in the apparent Gibbs energies of HX per residue produced by the mutations has allowed us to characterize structurally the conformational states leading to HX. Some of these states resemble notably the folding transition state of the Spc-SH3 domain, suggesting a great potential of this approach to explore the folding energy landscape of proteins. An energy perturbation propagates more effectively from a flexible region to the core than in the opposite direction, because the former affects a broader region of the energy landscape than the latter. This might be of importance in understanding the special thermodynamic signature of the SH3-peptide interaction and the relevance of the dual character of SH3 binding sites., (2007 Wiley-Liss, Inc.)

- Abstract
The amide hydrogen-deuterium exchange (HX) in the Src homology region 3 (SH3) domain of alpha-spectrin has been measured by nuclear magnetic resonance as a function of temperature between 8 and 46 degrees C. The analysis of the temperature dependence of HX from a statistical thermodynamic point of view has allowed us to estimate the enthalpies and entropies of the conformational processes leading to HX. The results indicate that under native conditions the domain undergoes a wide variety of conformational fluctuations, ranging from local motions, mainly located in loops, turns and chain ends and involving only low enthalpy and entropy, to extensive structural disruptions affecting its core and involving enthalpies and entropies that come fairly close to those observed during global unfolding.

- Abstract
Using nuclear magnetic resonance we have measured the hydrogen exchange (HX) in the Src homology region 3 (SH3) domain of alpha-spectrin as a function of pH*. At very acidic pH* values the exchange of most residues appears to occur via global unfolding, although several residues show abnormally large Gibbs energies of exchange, suggesting the presence of some residual structure in the unfolded state. At higher pH* HX occurs mainly via local or partial unfoldings. We have been able to characterize the coupling between the electrostatic interactions in this domain and the conformational fluctuations occurring under native conditions by analyzing the dependence upon pH* of the Gibbs energy of exchange. The SH3 domain seems to be composed of a central core, which requires large structural disruptions to become exposed to the solvent, surrounded by smaller subdomains, which fluctuate independently.

- Abstract
The folding/unfolding equilibrium of the alpha-spectrin SH3 domain has been measured by NMR-detected hydrogen/deuterium exchange and by differential scanning calorimetry. Protection factors against exchange have been obtained under native conditions for more than half of the residues in the domain. Most protected residues are located at the beta-strands, the short 3(10) helix, and part of the long RT loop, whereas the loops connecting secondary structure elements show no measurable protection. Apparent stability constants per residue and their corresponding Gibbs energies have been calculated from the exchange experiments. The most stable region of the SH3 domain is defined by the central portions of the beta-strands. The peptide binding region, on the other hand, is composed of a highly stable region (residues 53-57) and a highly unstable region, the loop between residues 34-41 (n-Src loop). All residues in the domain have apparent Gibbs energies lower than the global unfolding Gibbs energy measured by differential scanning calorimetry, indicating that under our experimental conditions the amide exchange of all residues in the SH3 domain occurs primarily via local unfolding reactions. A structure-based thermodynamic analysis has allowed us to predict correctly the thermodynamics of the global unfolding of the domain and to define the ensemble of conformational states that quantitatively accounts for the observed pattern of hydrogen exchange protection. These results demonstrate that under native conditions the SH3 domain needs to be considered as an ensemble of conformations and that the hydrogen exchange data obtained under those conditions cannot be interpreted by a two-state equilibrium. The observation that specific regions of a protein are able to undergo independent local folding/unfolding reactions indicates that under native conditions the scale of cooperative interactions is regional rather than global.

- Abstract
The energetics of the interaction between liver glycogen phosphorylase b and the adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) have been studied by equilibrium dialysis and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) at 25 degrees C. A concomitant net release of protons with AMP to phosphorylase binding was detected carrying out calorimetric experiments in three buffers having different heats of ionization at 25 degrees C. Four binding sites were found for AMP in the dimeric enzyme, which would correspond to the activator and the inhibitor sites identified in the muscle isozyme. The affinity of AMP for these four sites is similar. Thus, the binding of AMP to the activator sites seems to be non-cooperative and it does not perform the conformational change necessary to activate the enzyme. Moreover, the inhibitor sites are occupied almost in the same extension that the activator sites, which would impair any activation of the enzyme.

- Abstract
The binding of 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine 5'-monophosphate (FdUMP) to Lactobacillus casei recombinant thymidylate synthase has been studied by isothermal titration microcalorimetry at pH 7.1 over the temperature range 16-35 degrees C. Calorimetric measurements in various buffer systems with different heats of ionization suggest that a proton uptake is involved in the binding process of the nucleotide. In the temperature range investigated, the mol protons bound/mol nucleotide increases as the temperature decreases. A model of two equal and independent sites fits well with the binding isotherms for thymidylate synthase. The binding constants, the changes in Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and entropy/site for FdUMP binding were calculated at each temperature. The results show that the binding is driven by both enthalpy and entropy contributions in the range 16-35 degrees C. The enthalpy changes become more negative as the temperature increases, with delta Cp = -170 +/- 20 J.K-1.(mol FdUMP bound)-1. The behavior of the system supports the observation that FdUMP binds to thymidylate synthase without producing profound conformational changes in the protein dimer.
