Abstract
The combined effects of the cellular environment on proteins led to the definition of a fifth level of protein structural organization termed quinary structure. To explore the implication of potential quinary structure for globular proteins, we studied the dynamics and conformations of Escherichia coli (E. coli) peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase B (PpiB) in E. coli cells. PpiB plays a major role in maturation and regulation of folded proteins by catalyzing the cis/trans isomerization of the proline imidic peptide bond. We applied electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques, utilizing both Gadolinium (Gd(III)) and nitroxide spin labels. In addition to using standard spin labeling approaches with genetically engineered cysteines, we incorporated an unnatural amino acid to achieve Gd(III)-nitroxide orthogonal labeling. We probed PpiB's residue-specific dynamics by X-band continuous wave EPR at ambient temperatures and its structure by double electron-electron resonance (DEER) on frozen samples. PpiB was delivered to E. coli cells by electroporation. We report a significant decrease in the dynamics induced by the cellular environment for two chosen labeling positions. These changes could not be reproduced by adding crowding agents and cell extracts. Concomitantly, we report a broadening of the distance distribution in E. coli, determined by Gd(III)-Gd(III) DEER measurements, as compared with solution and human HeLa cells. This suggests an increase in the number of PpiB conformations present in E. coli cells, possibly due to interactions with other cell components, which also contributes to the reduction in mobility and suggests the presence of a quinary structure.

Abstract
UreG is a cytosolic GTPase involved in the maturation network of urease, an Ni-containing bacterial enzyme. Previous investigations in vitro showed that UreG features a flexible tertiary organization, making this protein the first enzyme discovered to be intrinsically disordered. To determine whether this heterogeneous behavior is maintained in the protein natural environment, UreG structural dynamics was investigated directly in intact bacteria by in-cell EPR. This approach, based on site-directed spin labeling coupled to electron paramagnetic resonance (SDSL-EPR) spectroscopy, enables the study of proteins in their native environment. The results show that UreG maintains heterogeneous structural landscape in-cell, existing in a conformational ensemble of two major conformers, showing either random coil-like or compact properties. These data support the physiological relevance of the intrinsically disordered nature of UreG and indicates a role of protein flexibility for this specific enzyme, possibly related to the regulation of promiscuous protein interactions for metal ion delivery.

Abstract
Site-Directed Spin Labelling (SDSL) technique is based on the attachment of a paramagnetic label onto a specific position of a protein (or other bio-molecules) and the subsequent study by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. In particular, continuous-wave EPR (cw-EPR) spectra can detect the local conformational dynamics for proteins under various conditions. Moreover, pulse-EPR experiments on doubly spin-labelled proteins allow measuring distances between spin centres in the 1.5-8 nm range, providing information about structures and functions. This review focuses on SDSL-EPR spectroscopy as a structural biology tool to investigate proteins using nitroxide labels. The versatility of this spectroscopic approach for protein structural characterization has been demonstrated through the choice of recent studies. The main aim is to provide a general overview of the technique, particularly for non-experts, to spread the applicability of this technique in various fields of structural biology.

Abstract
UreG is a P-loop GTP hydrolase involved in the maturation of nickel-containing urease, an essential enzyme found in plants, fungi, bacteria, and archaea. This protein couples the hydrolysis of GTP to the delivery of Ni(II) into the active site of apo-urease, interacting with other urease chaperones in a multi-protein complex necessary for enzyme activation. Whereas the conformation of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) UreG was solved by crystallography when it is in complex with two other chaperones, in solution the protein was found in a disordered and flexible form, defining it as an intrinsically disordered enzyme and indicating that the well-folded structure found in the crystal state does not fully reflect the behavior of the protein in solution. Here, isothermal titration calorimetry and site-directed spin labeling coupled to electron paramagnetic spectroscopy were successfully combined to investigate HpUreG structural dynamics in solution and the effect of Ni(II) and GTP on protein mobility. The results demonstrate that, although the protein maintains a flexible behavior in the metal and nucleotide bound forms, concomitant addition of Ni(II) and GTP exerts a structural change through the crosstalk of different protein regions.

Abstract
The "Bioénergétique et Ingénierie des Protéines (BIP)" laboratory, CNRS (France), organized its first French workshop on molecular chaperone proteins and protein folding in November 2017. The goal of this workshop was to gather scientists working in France on chaperone proteins and protein folding. This initiative was a great success with excellent talks and fruitful discussions. The highlights were on the description of unexpected functions and post-translational regulation of known molecular chaperones (such as Hsp90, Hsp33, SecB, GroEL) and on state-of-the-art methods to tackle questions related to this theme, including Cryo-electron microscopy, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR), simulation and modeling. We expect to organize a second workshop in two years that will include more scientists working in France in the chaperone field.

Site-directed spin labeling of native tyrosine residues in isolated domains of the protein PTBP1, using a Mannich-type reaction, was combined with conventional spin labeling of cysteine residues. Double electron-electron resonance (DEER) EPR measurements were performed for both the nitroxide-nitroxide and Gd(III)-nitroxide label combinations within the same protein molecule. For the prediction of distance distributions from a structure model, rotamer libraries were generated for the two linker forms of the tyrosine-reactive isoindoline-based nitroxide radical Nox. Only moderate differences exist between the spatial spin distributions for the two linker forms of Nox. This strongly simplifies DEER data analysis, in particular, if only mean distances need to be predicted.

Abstract
Site-directed spin labeling (SDSL) combined with continuous wave electron paramagnetic resonance (cw EPR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique to reveal, at the residue level, structural transitions in proteins. SDSL-EPR is based on the selective grafting of a paramagnetic label on the protein under study, followed by cw EPR analysis. To extract valuable quantitative information from SDSL-EPR spectra and thus give reliable interpretation on biological system dynamics, numerical simulations of the spectra are required. Such spectral simulations can be carried out by coding in MATLAB using functions from the EasySpin toolbox. For non-expert users of MATLAB, this could be a complex task or even impede the use of such simulation tool. We developed a graphical user interface called SimLabel dedicated to run cw EPR spectra simulations particularly coming from SDSL-EPR experiments. Simlabel provides an intuitive way to visualize, simulate, and fit such cw EPR spectra. An example of SDSL-EPR spectra simulation concerning the study of an intrinsically disordered region undergoing a local induced folding is described and discussed. We believe that this new tool will help the users to rapidly obtain reliable simulated spectra and hence facilitate the interpretation of their results. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract
A growing body of literature on intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) led scientists to rethink the structure-function paradigm of protein folding. Enzymes are often considered an exception to the rule of intrinsic disorder (ID), believed to require a unique structure for catalysis. However, recent studies revealed the presence of disorder in several functional native enzymes. In the present work, we address the importance of dynamics for catalysis, by investigating the relationship between folding and activity in Sporosarcina pasteurii UreG (SpUreG), a P-loop GTPase and the first discovered native ID enzyme, involved in the maturation of the nickel-containing urease. The effect of denaturants and osmolytes on protein structure and activity was analyzed using circular dichroism (CD), Site-Directed Spin Labeling (SDSL) coupled to EPR spectroscopy, and enzymatic assays. Our data show that SpUreG needs a "flexibility window" to be catalytically competent, with both too low and too high mobility being detrimental for its activity.

Abstract
Proteins are highly variable biological systems, not only in their structures but also in their dynamics. The most extreme example of dynamics is encountered within the family of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins (IDPs), which are proteins lacking a well-defined 3D structure under physiological conditions. Among the biophysical techniques well-suited to study such highly flexible proteins, Site-Directed Spin Labeling combined with EPR spectroscopy (SDSL-EPR) is one of the most powerful, being able to reveal, at the residue level, structural transitions such as folding events. SDSL-EPR is based on selective grafting of a paramagnetic label on the protein under study and is limited neither by the size nor by the complexity of the system. The objective of this mini-review is to describe the basic strategy of SDSL-EPR and to illustrate how it can be successfully applied to characterize the structural behavior of IDPs. Recent developments aimed at enlarging the panoply of SDSL-EPR approaches are presented in particular newly synthesized spin labels that allow the limitations of the classical ones to be overcome. The potentialities of these new spin labels will be demonstrated on different examples of IDPs.

Abstract
CP12 is a widespread regulatory protein of oxygenic photosynthetic organisms that contributes to the regulation of the Calvin cycle by forming a supra-molecular complex with at least two enzymes: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and phosphoribulokinase (PRK). CP12 shares some similarities with intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) depending on its redox state. In this study, site-directed spin labeling (SDSL) combined with EPR spectroscopy was used to probe the dynamic behavior of CP12 from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii upon binding to GAPDH, the first step towards ternary complex formation. The two N-terminal cysteine residues were labeled using the classical approach while the tyrosine located at the C-terminal end of CP12 was modified following an original procedure. The results show that the label grafted at the C-terminal extremity is in the vicinity of the interaction site whereas the N-terminal region remains fully disordered upon binding to GAPDH. In conclusion, GAPDH-CP12 is a fuzzy complex, in which the N-terminal region of CP12 keeps a conformational freedom in the bound form. This fuzziness could be one of the keys to facilitate binding of PRK to CP12-GAPDH and to form the ternary supra-molecular complex.

Abstract
Molecular recognition is central to all biological processes. Understanding the key role played by dedicated chaperones in metalloprotein folding and assembly requires the knowledge of their conformational ensembles. In this study, the NarJ chaperone dedicated to the assembly of the membrane-bound respiratory nitrate reductase complex NarGHI, a molybdenum-iron containing metalloprotein, was taken as a model of dedicated chaperone. The combination of two techniques ie site-directed spin labeling followed by EPR spectroscopy and ion mobility mass spectrometry, was used to get information about the structure and conformational dynamics of the NarJ chaperone upon binding the N-terminus of the NarG metalloprotein partner. By the study of singly spin-labeled proteins, the E119 residue present in a conserved elongated hydrophobic groove of NarJ was shown to be part of the interaction site. Moreover, doubly spin-labeled proteins studied by pulsed double electron-electron resonance (DEER) spectroscopy revealed a large and composite distribution of inter-label distances that evolves into a single preexisting one upon complex formation. Additionally, ion mobility mass spectrometry experiments fully support these findings by revealing the existence of several conformers in equilibrium through the distinction of different drift time curves and the selection of one of them upon complex formation. Taken together our work provides a detailed view of the structural flexibility of a dedicated chaperone and suggests that the exquisite recognition and binding of the N-terminus of the metalloprotein is governed by a conformational selection mechanism.

Abstract
Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) substituted with oleyl chains and tetraethyleneglycol monoethyl ether chains (TEGMEE) at 1.5% and 1% degrees of substitution respectively (mol of substituent to mol of hydroxyvinyl monomer) has previously been shown to self-assemble in water, providing aggregates selectively cytotoxic toward tumor cells vs normal cells. These polymers have also been shown to increase the long-term survival of nude mice injected with both human and murine neuroblastoma cell lines. In the present work, we changed the substitution degree of the oleyl chains on the poly(vinyl alcohol) backbone and maintained constant at 1% the degree of TEGMEE substitution. We evaluated the main physicochemical characteristics of the final polymers, their cytotoxicity toward tumor cells, and their complexing ability for hydrophobic molecules. The aim was to investigate the possibility of improving intrinsic antitumor efficacy of the polymer by changing the degree of oleyl chain substitution and further increase activity by complexation with antitumor drugs. The polymers were prepared at oleyl chain substitution degrees ranging from 0.5 to 3% (mol of substituent to mol of hydroxyvinyl monomer). The most active was again the 1.5% substituted polymer. It was further characterized by exhibiting the highest complexing ability toward hydrophobic molecules allowing the formation of a complex with fenretinide (HPR). The polymer-HPR complex was stable in aqueous environment and released the free drug prevalently in the presence of fluid hydrophobic phases. It was cytotoxic toward tumor cells with minimal activity toward normal cells. Antitumor activity exceeded that of the separate complex components resulting from the concomitant effect of the polymer and the HPR solubilized by complexation.
