NMR Structure of Neurokinin B from DYANA
Overview
Neurokinin B (NKB), a decapeptide of mammalian origin exhibits a variety, of biological activities such as regulatory functions in reproduction, pre-eclampsia and neuroprotection in Alzheimer's disease. In order to gain, insight into structure-function relationship, three-dimensional structure, of NKB has been investigated using CD spectropolarimetry and, two-dimensional proton nuclear magnetic resonance (2D 1H-NMR) spectroscopy, in aqueous and membrane mimetic solvents. Unambiguous NMR assignments of, resonances have been made with the aid of correlation spectroscopy, (DQF-COSY and TOCSY) experiments and Nuclear Overhauser Effect, Spectroscopy (NOESY) experiments. Distance constraints obtained from the, NMR data have been used to generate a family of structures, which have, been refined using restrained energy minimization and dynamics. Our data, show that a helical structure is induced in NKB, in presence of, perdeuterated dodecyl phosphocholine (DPC) micelles, a membrane model, system. Further, the conformation adopted by NKB in presence of DPC, micelles represents a structural motif typical of neurokinin-3 selective, agonists.
