MethodsEscherichia coli JM105 cells were transformed with a pKK223–3UC-based expression plasmid that contains synthesized DNA encoding either nfeAFP11 or nfeAFP11-tri. Each transformant was cultured in M9 minimal media. Then, 15N-labeled NH4Cl was added to this media for the expression of 15N-labeled proteins of nfeAFP11 and nfeAFP11-tri. Separately, both 15N-labeled NH4Cl and 13C-labeled glucose were added to the media to obtain 13C/15N-labeled proteins. The final yields of the 15N-labeled proteins of nfeAFP11 and nfeAFP11-tri were 52.5 and 13.5 mg/L, and those of the 13C/15N-labeled proteins were 47.3 and 19.4 mg/L, respectively. All of the proteins were dissolved in a 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH= 6.8) containing 25 mM KCl to prepare solutions with a final protein concentration of 2 mM. All NMR experiments were carried out at 4 C on a Varian Unity INOVA 600 spectrometer. Two-and three-dimensional (2D and 3D, respectively) NMR spectra were processed using NMRPipe (Delaglio et al. 1995) software, and the data analysis was performed with the help of the Sparky program (Goddard and Kneller 1997). The assignment of the 1H-, 13C-, and 15N-resonances was carried out using the following set of spectra;[1H-15N] heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC),[1H-13C] HSQC, HNCO, HN (CO) CA, HNCA, CBCA (CO) NH, C (CO) NH, HBHA (CO) NH, HC (C) H-TOCSY (total correlation spectroscopy). All chemical shift values were referenced to 4, 4-dimethyl-4-silapentane-1-sulfonic acid (DSS) and determined with using the frequency ratios:(15N/1H)= 0.101329118,(13C/1H)= 0.251449519 (Wishart et al. 1995). The inter-proton distance restraints for the structural calculations were obtained from 13C-edited NOESY–HSQC and 15N-edited NOESY–HSQC spectra using a 75 ms mixing time. The restraints for the backbone phi and psi torsion angles were derived from the chemical shifts of the backbone atoms using the TALOS? program (Shen et al. 2009). The structure was calculated using the CYANA 2.1 software package (Güntert 2004). As an input for the final calculation of the 3D structures, a total of 2072 distances and 78 angle restraints were used for nfeAFP11, and 2124 distances and 75 angle restraints were used for nfeAFP11-tri (Table 1). At each stage, 100 structures were calculated using 30,000 steps of simulated annealing, and a final ensemble of 20 structures was selected on the basis of the CYANA target function values. The atomic coordinates have been deposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB code: 2lx2 for nfeAFP11, 2lx3 for nfeAFP11-tri). The hydrogen–deuterium (H–D) exchange experiment was also performed using the 13C/15N-labeled proteins of nfeAFP11 and nfeAFP11-tri. The HSQC spectra were recorded in every 40 min at 4 C for 14 h after dissolving the lyophilized samples, which gave us information about hydrogen-bond formation of the amide groups.
