Effect of VWD mutations on the hydrogen deuterium exchange (H →
D) of the A1 domain (E. coli). A) 1 hour hydrogen deuterium
exchange (H → D) of wild-type A1 (all panels, blue area), P1337L A1 (type 2B GOF
VWD, top panel, red
area), G1324S A1 (type 2M LOF VWD, middle panel,
green area), and RCAM
A1 (type 2B GOF VWD where cysteines are reduced and carboxyamidated [11, 30], bottom panel, magenta
area) as a function of residue position. HXMS of wild-type
and RCAM A1 were previously performed in triplicate at 1, 5, 10, 20 and 30
minutes, 1, 3 and 6 hours, and overnight time points (see [11]). HXMS of P1337L A1 and G1324S A1 were performed
in triplicate at 1 minute, 1 hour and overnight (HXMS Supporting Information). Heavy
black arrows indicate the location of the mutation in the sequence. Gray
vertical areas represent the indicated secondary structure elements (top).
Red vertical lines
represent the disulfide bond. B) HX fraction mapped onto the
structure of the A1 domain (pdb ID = 1AUQ [61]). Black = not resolved, blue = 0, white = 0.25, red ≥
0.5. All structures are rendered using UCSF Chimera [63].
