Abstract
The determination of a representative set of protein structures is a chief aim in structural genomics. Solid-state NMR may have a crucial role in structural investigations of those proteins that do not easily form crystals or are not accessible to solution NMR, such as amyloid systems or membrane proteins. Here we present a protein structure determined by solid-state magic-angle-spinning (MAS) NMR. Almost complete (13)C and (15)N resonance assignments for a micro-crystalline preparation of the alpha-spectrin Src-homology 3 (SH3) domain formed the basis for the extraction of a set of distance restraints. These restraints were derived from proton-driven spin diffusion (PDSD) spectra of biosynthetically site-directed, labelled samples obtained from bacteria grown using [1,3-(13)C]glycerol or [2-(13)C]glycerol as carbon sources. This allowed the observation of long-range distance correlations up to approximately 7 A. The calculated global fold of the alpha-spectrin SH3 domain is based on 286 inter-residue (13)C-(13)C and six (15)N-(15)N restraints, all self-consistently obtained by solid-state MAS NMR. This MAS NMR procedure should be widely applicable to small membrane proteins that can be expressed in bacteria.

Figure 2: Assignment strategy. Regions extracted from the spectra of Fig. 1c and d (I -VI) superimposed on a PDSD spectrum of uniformly labelled SH3 domain (black), the latter recorded with a short mixing time of 15 ms (ref. 5. Part of the assignment of the long-range correlations is reported in the figure, and the lines define the different correlation patterns. As an example, correlations between residues L33 and V44 are shown. The correlations between the C and C signals of V44 and C and C signals of L33 are observed in panels I -III for 2-SH3, whereas correlations between the methyl groups appear in the spectrum of 1,3-SH3 (panel IV). Of particular interest is the region around 50 p.p.m. (panel VI), where for 2-SH3 a large number of cross-peaks due to the proline- signals (P20 and P54) are observed, whereas in the corresponding area of the U-SH3 sample (see Fig. 1b), no correlations are detected. In the upper left corner, a schematic representation of an antiparallel -sheet is shown. The numbering of the residues (i and j) corresponds to the numbering in Table 1.

Figure 3: Solid-state structure of the alpha--spectrin SH3 domain. a, Stereo view of twelve of the fifteen lowest-energy structures, representing the fold of the SH3 domain. The three structures with the largest r.m.s. deviation to the average structure are not displayed. The -strand regions are shown in blue. b, The X-ray structure^26 is shown for comparison. In this case, the part of the -sheet in the region 14 -17 and 23 -26 is non-ideal and therefore is not indicated in blue.
