ABSTRACT: Solution structures of mutant Zn fingers containing aromatic substitutions in the hydrophobic core are determined by 2D-NMR spectroscopy and distance-geometry/simulatedannealing (DG/SA). The wild-type domain (designated ZFY-6) is derived from the human male-associated protein ZFY and represents a sequence motif (Cys-X2-Cys-X-Ar-X,-Leu-X2-His-X4-His) that differs from the consensus ( C ~ S - X ~ , ~ - C ~ S - X ~ - P ~ ~ - X ~ - L ~ the U - location X ~ - H (“aromatic ~ S - X ~ - swap”) H ~ ~ ~and ~ ~ diversity (Ar = tyrosine, phenylalanKor histidine) of the central aromatic residue (underlined). In a given ZFY domain the choice of a particular aromatic residue is invariant among vertebrates, suggesting that alternative “swapped” aromatic residues are functionally inequivalent. 2D-NMR studies of analogues containing tyrosine, phenylalanine, or histidine at the swapped site yield the following results. (i) The three DG/SA structures each retain the BBa motif and exhibit similar staggered-horizontal packing between the variant aromatic residue and the proximal histidine in the hydrophobic core. (ii) Thestructures and stabilities of the tyrosine and phenylalanine analogues are essentially identical, differing only by local exposure of polar (Tyrp-OH) or nonpolar (Phep-H) surfaces. (iii) The dynamic stability of the histidine analogue is reduced as indicated by more rapid proteindeuterium exchange of hydrogen bonds related to secondary structure and amide-sulfur coordination (slowly exchanging amide resonances in D20) and by more extensiveaveraging of main-chain dihedral angles ( 3 J coupling a ~ ~ constants). An aspartic acid in the putative DNA recognition surface, whose configuration is well-defined as a possible helix N-cap in the tyrosine and phenylalanine analogues, exhibits multiple weak main-chain contacts in the NOESY spectrum of the histidine analogue; such NOES are geometrically inconsistent and so provide complementary evidence for structural fluctuations. (iv) Because the three DG ensembles have similar apparent precision, the finding of reduced dynamic stability in the histidine analogue emphasizes the importance of experiments that directly probe fluctuations a t several time scales. Our results provide insight into the design of biological metal-binding sites and the relationship of protein sequence to structure and dynamics.

Single In previous studies we have investigated the implications Zn fingers exhibit metal-dependent folding (Frankel et al., of sequence variations among Zn finger domains for ther1987) as globular minidomains (Parraga et al., 1988). 2Dmodynamic stability2 (Weiss et al., 1990; Weiss & KeutNMR’ structures of isolated domains (Lee et al., 1989a,b; mann, 1990) andstructure (Kochoyanetal., 1991a-d; Jasanoff Klevit et al., 1990; Omichinski et al., 1990) are essentially et al., 1992). These investigations have focused on the ZFYrelated family of putative transcription factors (Page et al., identical to those of corresponding domains in the crystal 1987). This family is encoded by the sex chromosomes of structure of a protein-DNA complex containingthree fingers placental mammals (Schneider-Gadicke et al., 1989); ho(Pavletich & Pabo, 1991).

given aromatic residue is invariant (e.g., Tyr in domain 6 in man, mouse, and bird; Figure 1). What structural similarities underlie the relaxed sequence requirement at the swapped site, and what structural differences account for invariance among individual domains? To address these questions, we have determined the 2D-NMR structures of representative Zn finger peptides containing phenylalanine, tyrosine, and histidine at the swapped position. The overall &?CY motif is retained in each case. These analogues nevertheless exhibit local and nonlocal differences whose comparative analysis provides insight into the design of biological metal-binding sites.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Peptide Synthesis. The synthesis and characterization of ZFY-6 (KTYQCQYCEYRSADSSNLKTHIKTKHSKEK Figure 2A) have previozsly been described (Kochoyan IISG H TKA RTHQ C mouse Zjy-2 et al., 1991a). This peptide is derived from finger 6 of the putative DNA-binding exon of the human ZFY gene (exon residues 162-191; Page et al., 1987). Analogues ZFY-phe Domain 10 (substitution TyrlOPhe; underlined above) and ZFY-his KLHQ C ILSG H TKD chicken Zfb (substitution TyrlOHis) were synthesized by the solid-phase procedure (Barany & Merrifield, 1979; Steward & Young, ILSV n TKD human ZFY KMHQ C 1984) using F-mocmethodology (Chang & Meienhofer, 1978; ILSV H TKD human ZFX KMHQ C Atherton et al., 1978); the initial residue was linked to a palkoxybenzyl alcohol resin to provide a C-terminal carboxylic ILSA H TKN mouse Zfy-1 KMHQ C acid. Peptides were reduced and purified by rp-HPLC as described (Weiss et al., 1990; Kochoyan et al., 1991a). The ILSA H TKN mouse Zfy-2 KMHQ C reduced peptideZn2+complexeswere lyophilized and stored FIGURE1: Sequences of even-numbered ZFY domains (fingers 6 , in an anaerobic N2 chamber (Coy Laboratories, Inc.). 8, and 10) demonstrating variation in the identity of the central Circular Dichroism.

Slowly exchanging amide resonances are indicated by closed boxes in the upper panel; these are observed in the spectrum of ZFY-phe at 25 OC and of ZFY-his at 4 OC.

his also exhibits a weak NOE (T2-yCH3/R1 l-H7) that is not seen in the native domain, which may represent a transient contact between flexible side chains as discussed below. (ii) Whereas both ortho and meta resonances of TyrlO and F12 exhibit NOES to His21 and Leu1 8, such NOES are observed toHislO Ha but not HislO-H,. Such side-specificNOEs define a preferred orientation of the imidazole ring in the hydrophobic core and demonstrate hindered rotation about the C& bond axis. (iii) No NOEs are observed between His10 and Serl2. The distinct NOE pattern of His10 may in part reflect the different placement of protons on an imidazole ring and in part differences in side-chain position (part 11). (iv) In ZFY6 and ZFY-phe the side-chain configuration of Asp14 is welldefined by stereospecific assignment of the /3 resonances and medium-strength NOEs to the amide resonance of Asnl7. As discussed below, this configuration is consistentwith formation of an N-cap hydrogen bond between the Asp14 y-carboxylate and the Asnl7 amide proton. In the spectrum of ZFY-his the /3 resonances are degenerate and exhibit weak multiple NOES to the amide resonances of residues 15, 16, and 17. The dynamic implications of this observation are considered in part 111.

(ZZ)Solution Structures of ZFY-phe and ZFY- his Twenty DG/SA calculations were initiated for each analogue; of these, 16 converged for ZFY-phe and 15 converged for ZFY-his. Models of ZFY-phe (Figure 6B) were obtained on the basis of 176 NOE restraints (76 sequential, 45 medium range, and 50 long range) and 24 dihedral restraints; models of ZFY-his (Figure 6C) were obtained on the basis of 187 NOE restraints (89 sequential, 47 medium range, and 45 long range) and 23 dihedral restraints (supplementary material). Analogous restraints were previously obtained for the parent peptide (Kochoyan et al., 1991a,b). ThemaximumNOErestraint violationin theZFYphe ensemble was 0.14 A and in the ZFY-his ensemble was 0.10 A. The most consistent DG/SA model of ZFY-phe contained two NOE violations between 0.05 and 0.06 A and 13 NOE violations less than 0.05 A. The most consistent DG/SA model of ZFY-his contained one NOE violation of 0.06 A and seven NOE violations less than 0.05 A.

describing the DG/SA ensembles are provided in Table V. The overall average of main-chain rms differences (calculated on the basis of pairwise alignment of the main-chain atoms of residues 2-27) between ensembles is similar to those within a single ensemble (0.5-0.6 A). Each analogueretains the 88a motif and folds as a globular minidomain as in canonical Zn fingers (Lee et al., 1989a,b; Omichinski et al., 1990; Klevit et al., 1990). In Figure 6 are shown ensembles of 12 DG/SA structures for ZFY-6, ZFYphe, and ZFY-his (panels A X , respectively) with selected side chains in the hydrophobic core (Arlo, Serl2, Leul8, His21, and His26). In Figure 6D is shown a superposition of backbone configurations of ZFY-6 (red) and ZFY-phe

(green); the ensembles are aligned according to the backbone atoms of residues 21-26 (i.e., the invariant H S H metalbinding site). A corresponding alignment of ZFY-6 (red) and ZFY-his (blue) is given in panel E. In each hydrophobic core displaced-horizontal stacking (Burley & Petsko, 1988) is observed between the swapped aromatic residue (Ar 10) and proximal histidine (His21); the C-terminalhelix partitions between an a-helical portion (residues 15-20) and the nonstandard HX4H helix with characteristic bifurcating hydrogen bonds (residues 21-27; Table VI). These features, which distinguish even (nonconsensus) and odd (consensus) ZFY domains, were previously described in the refined structure of ZFY-6 (Kochoyan et al., 1991b). Hydrogen bonds corresponding to slowly exchanging amide resonances are indicated by asterisks in Table VI. In each analogue bidentate hydrogen bonds are possible but not established between the Gln4 side-chain amino group and the main-chain carbonyl oxygens of CysS and Glu9 (Figure 8A). Formation of such hydrogen bonds would rationalize the inequivalent chemical shifts of the two Gln4 Ha resonances (Tables I and 11) and is suggested by strong NOEs from Gln4-HC1and -He* to the HNresonances of CysS and Glu9. Gln4 is an invariant feature of most even-numbered ZFY domains (Figure 1) but is otherwise unusual among consensus Zn fingers (Gibson et al., 1988). Further investigation of possible side-chain hydrogen bonds will require a high-resolution solution structure (Omichinksi et al., 1990). A small shift is observed in PhelO relative to TyrlO or HislO, reflecting input of a tighter restraint to one of the /3 protons of Serl2 in the PhelO DG calculation. This has the effect of decreasing the solvent accessibility of the PhelO para proton (mean normalized solvent accessibility 14%) relative to that of the TyrlO p-OH group (mean normalized solvent accessibility 31%). It is also possible that the detailed configuration of the aromatic rings is influenced by hydrogen bonding between Serl2 yOH and TyrlO p-OH (ZFY-6) or between Serl2 yOH and HislO Na (ZFY-his), which would not be possible in ZFY-phe. Although such TyrlO and HislO hydrgen bonds cannot be directly observed by 'H-NMR, in the majority of TyrlO structures and in the minority of HislO structures they are allowed following rotation of Serl2 yOH.

The presence of a hydrogen bond between Serl2 r O H (as donor) and TyrlO p-OHf (as acceptor) has recently been demonstrated by analysis of the tyrosine Fermi vibrational doublet in the laser Raman spectrum of ZFY-6 (T. Li, M. A. Weiss, and G. J. Thomas, Jr., manuscript in preparation). Aspects of the ZFY-his ensemble are less precise than corresponding features in the other ensembles. The N-terminal hydrogen bond of the 8-sheet (Tyr3 H ~ S e r 1 2( 2 4 ) is not consistently predicted (Table VI), for example, and certain side-chain rms deviations are larger (residues 11, 14, 15, and 16; Figure 7). These reflect differences in the NOESY data (see part I). In the case of AsplCH,j, which in ZF'Y-his exhibits weak NOES to the amide resonances of residues 15, 16,and 17,norestraintswereintrodudas these threecontacts cannot simultaneously be satisfied by a single structure. The configuration of Asp14 in ZFY-6 and ZFY-phe is consistent with formation of an N-cap hydrogen bond (Richardson &

Richardson, 1988) to the amide proton of Asn 17 (Figure 8B). The rms deviation of the His10 side chain (0.9 A) is larger than that of the TyrlO or PhelO side chains (0.7 A); whether this reflects increased mobility or "proton scarcity" is not clear and is discussed further below. (III) Comparative Studies of Protein Dynamics Distinguishing between informational and physical uncertainties in the analysis of dispersion in a DG structure is a general problem in NMR spectroscopy. Imprecision is in part technical. The imidizole ring contains fewer protons, for example, than that of phenylalanine or tyrosine and so provides fewer probes with which to define local structure by NOES (informational uncertainty); other sources of informational uncertainty include chemical shift overlap, coarse interpretation of NOES (as strong, medium, or weak), and incomplete stereospecific assignment of methylene protons.

Carbonyl oxygen acceptors are designated o=C. Distances are between heavy atoms and so differ from those in Table VII. D (deg) is defined as deviation from linearity. Asterisks indicate slowly exchanging amide resonances in D2O.
