Abstract
Protein dynamics plays an important role in protein function. Many functionally important motions occur on the microsecond and low millisecond time scale and can be characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation experiments. We describe the different states of a peptidyl carrier protein (PCP) that play a crucial role in its function as a peptide shuttle in the nonribosomal peptide synthetases of the tyrocidine A system. Both apo-PCP (without the bound 4'-phosphopantetheine cofactor) and holo-PCP exist in two different stable conformations. We show that one of the apo conformations and one of the holo conformations are identical, whereas the two remaining conformations are only detectable by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in either the apo or holo form. We further demonstrate that this conformational diversity is an essential prerequisite for the directed movement of the 4'-PP cofactor and its interaction with externally acting proteins such as thioesterases and 4'-PP transferase.

Full text Abstract
Figure 2.
Figure 2 Stereo view of the experimental MAD electron density map covering CoA after solvent flattening contoured at 1.7 . The ribose is clearly present in a 3'-endo conformation leading to the axial orientation of the 2'-hydroxyl and the horizontal orientation of the 3'-phosphate group. Electron density can only be attributed for the two atoms of the pantetheinyl moiety nearest to the pyrophosphate.
