Precision DEER Distances from Spin-Label Ensemble Refinement.
Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters 2018 October 5
Double electron-electron resonance (DEER) experiments probe nanometer-scale distances in spin-labeled proteins and nucleic acids. Rotamer libraries of the covalently attached spin-labels help reduce position uncertainties. Here we show that rotamer reweighting is essential for precision distance measurements, making it possible to resolve Ångstrom-scale domain motions. We analyze extensive DEER measurements on the three N-terminal polypeptide transport-associated (POTRA) domains of the outer membrane protein Omp85. Using the "Bayesian inference of ensembles" maximum-entropy method, we extract rotamer weights from the DEER measurements. Small weight changes suffice to eliminate otherwise significant discrepancies between experiments and model and unmask 1-3 Å domain motions relative to the crystal structure. Rotamer-weight refinement is a simple yet powerful tool for precision distance measurements that should be broadly applicable to label-based measurements including DEER, paramagnetic relaxation enhancement, and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET).
