Abstract
Spider dragline silk has attracted great interest due to its outstanding mechanical properties, which exceed those of man-made synthetic materials. Dragline silk, which is composed of at least major ampullate spider silk protein 1 and 2 (MaSp1 and MaSp2), contains a long repetitive domain flanked by N-terminal and C-terminal domains (NTD and CTD). Despite the small size of the CTD, this domain plays a crucial role as a molecular switch that regulates and directs spider silk self-assembly. In this study, we report the 1H, 13C, and 15N chemical shift assignments of the Latrodectus hesperus MaSp2 CTD in dimeric form at pH 7. Our solution NMR data demonstrated that this protein contains five helix regions connected by a flexible linker.
期刊介绍:
Biomolecular NMR Assignments provides a forum for publishing sequence-specific resonance assignments for proteins and nucleic acids as Assignment Notes. Chemical shifts for NMR-active nuclei in macromolecules contain detailed information on molecular conformation and properties.
Publication of resonance assignments in Biomolecular NMR Assignments ensures that these data are deposited into a public database at BioMagResBank (BMRB; http://www.bmrb.wisc.edu/), where they are available to other researchers. Coverage includes proteins and nucleic acids; Assignment Notes are processed for rapid online publication and are published in biannual online editions in June and December.
