E) X- (d) and Q-band (e) DEER data for oligomeric Bak formed with sBak-C-His spin labeled at residue 84 (Bak/84R1) were obtained (red traces, left panel; black dotted lines are theoretical fit) and analyzed with DeerAnalysis201337, resulting in the indicated most probable SB 202190MedChemExpress SB 202190 distances (? (width at half-height in parenthesis). (f) Rotamers of 84R1, 84R1a and 84R1b, on the polypeptide chains A and B, in the hydrophobic pockets of BGH and their dihedral angles X1-X5. The error range of the dihedral angles is 20? The carbons in 84R1a and 84R1b are in green and cyan, respectively. The white, red, blue and yellow spheres represent hydrogens, oxygens, nitrogens and sulfurs, respectively. The MK-1439MedChemExpress Doravirine images were generated using Pymol59. (g) Positions of 84R1s, a, b, a’, and b were calculated by 2-dimensional triangulation using the distances d1, d2, and d3 from (e), which are (0, 0), (0, 26.6), (30.1, 39.2), and (30.1, 65.8), respectively, in a xy-coordinate scaled in ?(See Supplementary Information Figure S2d for details). The internitrogen line between the NO moieties of the 84R1a and 84R1b in BGH in (f) was superimposed to the a-b, and a’-b’ lines (black diamonds), respectively. Shown in the parentheses under d1, d2, and d3 are the corresponding distances from the resulting tetramer model. Note the proximity of the indicated amino acid pairs: 96Ca’-96Cb and 143Ca’-143Cb (C-atoms shown in spheres). 2nd and 3rd rows), indicating that this peak corresponds to the intra-BGH 84R1-84R1′ distance, consistent with modeling of the spin label rotamers in a BGH (see Supplementary Information Figure S3d,e). If the structure of 84R1 in BGH is known, a 2-dimensional modeling of the two neighboring BGHs can be done by triangulation with the three distances determined above (Supplementary Information Figure S2d). The tetrameric GFP-Bak spin labeled at residue 84C could not be crystallized. We thus attempted to model the rotamers of 84R1 in silico, based on its low solvent accessibility (Supplementary Information Figure S2b) and low mobility (Supplementary Information Figures S2c and S4e,f) in oligomeric Bak in membrane. Modeling with MMM 2010 program38 did not readily sample such conformations that are consistent with the above observations (Supplementary Information Figure S3d). When the amino acid side chains around 84R1s were rearranged,Scientific RepoRts | 6:30763 | DOI: 10.1038/srepwww.nature.com/scientificreports/hydrophobic pockets could be created on the surface of BGH (see Supplementary Information Figure S3e for details). Into these, rotamers of 84R1 could be placed in such a way that their N-O moieties are sequestered from the protein surface and the rotation of the nitroxide rings is inhibited (Fig. 3f, left panel). Considering the X1 and X2 dihedral angles of these rotamers, they correspond to the t,m rotamers39. The inter-spin distance (between the nitrogen atoms of the NO groups of 84R1 and 84R1′) in the BGH was 24 ? This is close to the measured distance, 26.6 (5.2) ? within the range of the probability peak (Fig. 3e). When the 84R1-84R1′ inter-spin vector associated with the BGH was superimposed to the calculated inter-spin vectors from the triangulated points of R1s (Supplementary Information Figure S2d), the C-termini of 3 and 5 helices, specifically, residues 96Cs and 143Cs, could be brought close to each other surprisingly (with the C-C distance of 6.5 ?and 14 ? respectively) (Fig. 3g), consistent with the current cross-linking data (Fig. 2) a.E) X- (d) and Q-band (e) DEER data for oligomeric Bak formed with sBak-C-His spin labeled at residue 84 (Bak/84R1) were obtained (red traces, left panel; black dotted lines are theoretical fit) and analyzed with DeerAnalysis201337, resulting in the indicated most probable distances (?
