ABSTRACTPrPSc, the first described and most notorious prion, is the only protein known to cause epidemics of deadly disease. Its properties are encoded in its unique structure. Here we report a first solid state NMR study of a uniformly labelled (U-13C,15N)-Bank vole (BV) infectious recombinant PrPSc prion. C-C, C-H and N-H spectra were obtained with MAS rotation of the sample at up to 60 kHz. We obtained amino acid-type secondary structure information and used it to challenge a physically plausible atomistic model of PrPSc consisting of a 4-rung β solenoid recently proposed by us. In all cases, our model was compatible with the data. This study shows that elucidation of the structure of PrPSc is within reach using recombinant PrPSc, NMR, and our model as a guiding tool.

Membranes of cells are active barriers, in which membrane proteins perform essential remodelling, transport and recognition functions that are vital to cells. Membrane proteins are key regulatory components of cells and represent essential targets for the modulation of cell function and pharmacological intervention. However, novel folds, low molarity and the need for lipid membrane support present serious challenges to the characterisation of their structure and interactions. We describe the use of solid state NMR as a versatile and informative approach for membrane and membrane protein studies, which uniquely provides information on structure, interactions and dynamics of membrane proteins. High resolution approaches are discussed in conjunction with applications of NMR methods to studies of membrane lipid and protein structure and interactions. Signal enhancement in high resolution NMR spectra through DNP is discussed as a tool for whole cell and interaction studies.
