We identified an smCCP fingerprint that is selective for states containing a tertiary structure that forms concurrently with cognate ligand binding.

Intermediate states in the folding pathways of these proteins are sparsely populated due to transient lifetimes under normal conditions rendering them transparent to a majority of the biophysical methods employed for structural, thermodynamic, and kinetic characterization, which attributes are essential for understanding the cooperative folding/unfolding of such proteins. Dynamic NMR spectroscopy has enabled the characterization of folding intermediates of ubiquitin that exist in equilibrium under conditions of low pH and denaturants. At low pH, an unlocked state defined as N′ is in fast exchange with an invisible state, U″, as observed by CEST NMR. Addition of urea to ubiquitin at pH 2 creates two new states F<i>′</i> and U<i>′</i>, which are in slow exchange (<i>k</i><sub>F′→U′</sub> = 0.14 and <i>k</i><sub>U′→F′</sub> = 0.28 s<sup>–1</sup>) as indicated by longitudinal ZZ-magnetization exchange spectroscopy. High-resolution solution NMR structures of F<i>′</i> show it to be in an “unlocked” conformation with measurable changes in rotational diffusion, translational diffusion, and rotational correlational times. U<i>′</i> is characterized by the presence of just the highly conserved N-terminal β1−β2 hairpin. The folding of ubiquitin is cooperative and is nucleated by the formation of an N-terminal β-hairpin followed by significant hydrophobic collapse of the protein core resulting in the formation of bulk of the secondary structural elements stabilized by extensive tertiary contacts.

RNR activity requires precise positioning of the β<sub>2</sub> and α<sub>2</sub> subunits for the transfer of a catalytically essential radical species. Excess dATP inhibits RNR through the creation of an α-β interface that restricts the ability of β<sub>2</sub> to obtain a position that is capable of radical transfer. ATP breaks the α-β interface, freeing β<sub>2</sub> and restoring enzyme activity. Here, we investigate the molecular basis for allosteric activity regulation in the well-studied <i>Escherichia coli</i> class Ia RNR through the determination of six crystal structures and accompanying biochemical and mutagenesis studies. We find that when dATP is bound to the N-terminal regulatory cone domain in α, a helix unwinds, creating a binding surface for β. When ATP displaces dATP, the helix rewinds, dismantling the α-β interface. This reversal of enzyme inhibition requires that two ATP molecules are bound in the cone domain: one in the canonical nucleotide-binding site (site 1) and one in a site (site 2) that is blocked by phenylalanine-87 and tryptophan-28 unless ATP is bound in site 1. When ATP binds to site 1, histidine-59 rearranges, prompting the movement of phenylalanine-87 and trytophan-28, and creating site 2. dATP hydrogen bonds to histidine-59, preventing its movement. The importance of site 2 in the restoration of RNR activity by ATP is confirmed by mutagenesis.

Transitions between these conformations require internal motions involving many residues with correlated dynamics in each ZF.
