Ab initio study of NMR 15N chemical shift differences induced by Ca2+ binding to EF-hand proteins

EF-hands are Ca2+ binding motifs that are widely distributed throughout the entire living organism kingdom. At present, relatively little is known at a quantum mechanical level about the mechanisms that allow Ca 2+ to be recognized specifically by EF-hands and to induce a conformational switch from...

description EF-hands are Ca2+ binding motifs that are widely distributed throughout the entire living organism kingdom. At present, relatively little is known at a quantum mechanical level about the mechanisms that allow Ca 2+ to be recognized specifically by EF-hands and to induce a conformational switch from a compact ("closed") conformation to an "open" state that exposes a large patch of hydrophobic residues. Here, we present a study of NMR 15N chemical shifts based on ab initio quantum mechanical calculations carried out on a minimalist model system linking both Ca2+ binding sites across the β-sheet of an EF-hand domain. Calculated and experimentally determined chemical shift changes are correlated with structural changes induced upon metal binding. The effect of Ca2+ binding on these 15N shifts can be dissected into two main contributions: one from π-polarization of β-sheet amide groups and the other from rotation of an isoleucine side chain. By correlating this description with experimental evidence, different polarization states for the β-sheet amide groups were identified and linked to the overall conformation of different EF-hand domains. When all four β-sheet amide groups are polarized, the ab initio calculations in our model indicate a cooperative stabilization effect due to the establishment of a circular network of donor-acceptor interactions connecting the two Ca2+ ions across the β-sheet. The emerging hypothesis from our analysis is that this cooperative network of interactions is essential for stabilizing the "open" conformation of an EF-hand domain.
