Photoprotection in cyanobacteria is mediated by the Orange Carotenoid Protein (OCP), a two-domain photoswitch which has multiple natural homologs of its N- and C-terminal domains. Recently, it was demonstrated that C-terminal domain homologs (CTDHs) of OCP are standalone carotenoproteins participating in multidirectional carotenoid transfer between membranes and proteins. Non-covalent embedment of a ketocarotenoid causes dimerization of the small 16-kDa water-soluble CTDH protein; however, dynamic interactions of CTDH with membranes and other proteins apparently require the monomeric state. Although crystallography recently provided static snapshots of theAnabaenaCTDH (AnaCTDH) spatial structure in the apo-form, which predicted mobility of some putative functional segments, no crystallographic information on the holo-form of CTDH is presently available. In order to use NMR techniques to cope with the dynamics of the AnaCTDH protein, it was necessary to obtain1H,13C and15N resonance assignments. AnaCTDH samples enriched with13C and15N isotopes were prepared using recombinant protein expression, and NMR resonance assignment was achieved for more than 90% of the residues. The obtained results revealed that the structure of AnaCTDH in solution and in the crystal are largely equivalent. Together with15N NMR relaxation experiments, our data shed light on the AnaCTDH dynamics and provide the platform for the subsequent analysis of the holo-CTDH structure in solution, for the better understanding of light-triggered protein–protein interactions and the development of antioxidant nanocarriers for biomedical applications in the future.
