Abstract
Interaction of the Escherichia coli PapD chaperone with the synthetic peptide PapG308-314 (Thr-Met-Val-Leu-Ser-Phe-Pro), corresponding to the seven C-terminal residues of the PapG pilus subunit, was studied by transferred nuclear Overhauser effect (TRNOE) spectroscopy. The observation of cross-peaks corresponding to either intraresidue or sequential C(α)H/NH and C(β)H/NH TRNOEs and the absence of sequential NH(i)/NH(i+1) TROEs indicate that the peptide binds to PapD in an extended conformation. In addition, line-broadening effects gave information of the peptide's mode of interaction with PapD. These observations were in excellent agreement with a recent crystal structure of a PapG peptide complexed with PapD.
