Biomacromolecules, such as proteins, often exhibit significant motions intimately associated with their function. Intrinsically disordered proteins and proteins with intrinsically disordered regions, although extremely important for a plethora of cellular functions, are difficult to structurally characterize at the atomic level because the experimental parameters report on ensemble and time averages. Here, we demonstrate for the C-terminal domain of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 capsid protein that NMR and, in particular, residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) measured for the folded portion of the protein can inform on the structural preferences of the unstructured portion using RDC-prediction tools and the maximum occurrence approach.

Abstract

Biomacromolecules, such as proteins, often exhibit significant motions intimately associated with their function. Intrinsically disordered proteins and proteins with intrinsically disordered regions, although extremely important for a plethora of cellular functions, are difficult to structurally characterize at the atomic level because the experimental parameters report on ensemble and time averages. Here, we demonstrate for the C-terminal domain of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 capsid protein that NMR and, in particular, residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) measured for the folded portion of the protein can inform on the structural preferences of the unstructured portion using RDC-prediction tools and the maximum occurrence approach.
