Abstract
NMR spectroscopy is used to investigate the heterotrimeric nature of a collagen model peptide. Two distinct peptide chains (A and B) were synthesized to model a site in heterotrimeric basement membrane type IV collagen. For NMR studies, four amino acids in the B chain were labeled with 15N/13C. Circular dichroism spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry thermal stability results on a solution with both A and B peptides (molar ratio 2A:1B) are consistent with the presence of one heterotrimeric triple-helical molecular species. Heteronuclear single quantum coherence experiments on homotrimers of the B peptide show trimer peaks which disappear at temperatures higher than 10 °C, while the 2A:1B mixture has trimer peaks with increased stability and altered chemical shifts. The reduction in the number of Leu trimer peaks from three to one and the increased stability of trimer resonances confirm the participation of B chains in an AAB heterotrimer molecule.Keywords
