Solid state NMR analysis of 13C-15N-labeled CRES amyloids. (a) Structural model for CRES monomer predicted with SWISS MODEL. (b) Chemical shifts for this model were predicted with SHIFTX-2, converted into 13Cα-13Cβ correlation peak lists with FANDAS, and overlaid onto a 2D DARR 13C-13C correlation spectrum generated from sonicated CRES (gray). The predicted chemical shifts for non-helical sites in the protein agree well with the DARR spectrum (black dots). However, chemical shifts predicted from the α-helix (red) show relatively poor agreement. The agreement between the spectrum and the predicted chemical shifts was improved by converting the secondary structure of the helix into an idealized antiparallel β-hairpin. (c). The movement from the predicted α-helical chemical shifts to the corresponding β-sheet chemical shift for the same site is indicated by the red arrows depicted in (b). The α-helical peak is at the foot, and the predicted β-strand chemical shift is at the head of each arrow. Note that all peaks from the predicted helical region of the protein appear to shift into the strongly-observed β-sheet chemical shift region of the spectrum.
