Abstract
Liquid extraction surface analysis (LESA) coupled to native mass spectrometry (MS) presents unique analytical opportunities due to its sensitivity, speed, and automation. Here, we examine whether this tool can be used to quantitatively probe protein-ligand interactions through calculation of equilibrium dissociation constants (Kd values). We performed native LESA MS analyses for a well-characterized system comprising bovine carbonic anhydrase II and the ligands chlorothiazide, dansylamide, and sulfanilamide, and compared the results with those obtained from direct infusion mass spectrometry and surface plasmon resonance measurements. Two LESA approaches were considered: In one approach, the protein and ligand were premixed in solution before being deposited and dried onto a solid substrate for LESA sampling, and in the second, the protein alone was dried onto the substrate and the ligand was included in the LESA sampling solvent. Good agreement was found between the Kd values derived from direct infusion MS and LESA MS when the protein and ligand were premixed; however, Kd values determined from LESA MS measurements where the ligand was in the sampling solvent were inconsistent. Our results suggest that LESA MS is a suitable tool for quantitative analysis of protein-ligand interactions when the dried sample comprises both protein and ligand.

Abstract
To identify protein-protein interactions and phosphorylated amino acid sites in eukaryotic mRNA translation, replicate TAP-MudPIT and control experiments are performed targeting Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes previously implicated in eukaryotic mRNA translation by their genetic and/or functional roles in translation initiation, elongation, termination, or interactions with ribosomal complexes. Replicate tandem affinity purifications of each targeted yeast TAP-tagged mRNA translation protein coupled with multidimensional liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry analysis are used to identify and quantify copurifying proteins. To improve sensitivity and minimize spurious, nonspecific interactions, a novel cross-validation approach is employed to identify the most statistically significant protein-protein interactions. Using experimental and computational strategies discussed herein, the previously described protein composition of the canonical eukaryotic mRNA translation initiation, elongation, and termination complexes is calculated. In addition, statistically significant unpublished protein interactions and phosphorylation sites for S. cerevisiae's mRNA translation proteins and complexes are identified.

Abstract
Data validation plays an important role in ensuring the reliability and reproducibility of studies. NMR investigations of the functional properties, dynamics, chemical kinetics, and structures of proteins depend critically on the correctness of chemical shift assignments. We present a novel probabilistic method named ARECA for validating chemical shift assignments that relies on the nuclear Overhauser effect data . ARECA has been evaluated through its application to 26 case studies and has been shown to be complementary to, and usually more reliable than, approaches based on chemical shift databases. ARECA is available online at http://areca.nmrfam.wisc.edu/.

Abstract
Voltage-dependent K+ (Kv) channels play crucial roles in nerve and muscle action potentials. Voltage-sensing domains (VSDs) of Kv channels sense changes in the transmembrane potential, regulating the K+-permeability across the membrane. Gating modifier toxins, which have been used for the functional analyses of Kv channels, inhibit Kv channels by binding to VSD. However, the structural basis for the inhibition remains elusive. Here, fluorescence and NMR analyses of the interaction between VSD derived from KvAP channel and its gating modifier toxin, VSTx1, indicate that VSTx1 recognizes VSD under depolarized condition. We identified the VSD-binding residues of VSTx1 and their proximal residues of VSD by the cross-saturation (CS) and amino acid selective CS experiments, which enabled to build a docking model of the complex. These results provide structural basis for the specific binding and inhibition of Kv channels by gating modifier toxins.

Abstract
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) provide a primordial source of immunity, conferring upon eukaryotic cells resistance against bacteria, protozoa, and viruses. Despite a few examples of anionic peptides, AMPs are usually relatively short positively charged polypeptides, consisting of a dozen to about a hundred amino acids, and exhibiting amphipathic character. Despite significant differences in their primary and secondary structures, all AMPs discovered to date share the ability to interact with cellular membranes, thereby affecting bilayer stability, disrupting membrane organization, and/or forming well-defined pores. AMPs selectively target infectious agents without being susceptible to any of the common pathways by which these acquire resistance, thereby making AMPs prime candidates to provide therapeutic alternatives to conventional drugs. However, the mechanisms of AMP actions are still a matter of intense debate. The structure-function paradigm suggests that a better understanding of how AMPs elicit their biological functions could result from atomic resolution studies of peptide-lipid interactions. In contrast, more strict thermodynamic views preclude any roles for three-dimensional structures. Indeed, the design of selective AMPs based solely on structural parameters has been challenging. In this chapter, we will focus on selected AMPs for which studies on the corresponding AMP-lipid interactions have helped reach an understanding of how AMP effects are mediated. We will emphasize the roles of both liquid- and solid-state NMR spectroscopy for elucidating the mechanisms of action of AMPs.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides (PIs) are crucial lipid components of membranes and are involved in a number of cellular processes through interactions with their effector proteins. Recently, we have established a lipid-protein nanoscale bilayer (nanodisc) containing PIs, hereafter referred to as PI-nanodisc and demonstrated that it could be used for both qualitative and quantitative evaluations of protein-membrane interactions. Here, we report further NMR analyses for obtaining structural insights at the residue-specific level between PI-binding effector protein and PI-nanodisc, using the FYVE domain of early endosome antigen 1 (EEA1), denoted as EEA1 FYVE, and PI(3)P-nanodisc as a model system. We performed a combination of the NMR analyses including chemical shift perturbation, transferred cross-saturation, and paramagnetic relaxation enhancement experiments. These enabled an identification of the interaction surface, structural change, and relative orientation of EEA1 FYVE to the PI(3)P-incorporated lipid bilayer, substantiating that NMR analyses of protein-membrane interactions using nanodisc makes it possible to show the residue-specific interactions in the lipid bilayer environment.
