Protein function is often regulated by conformational changes that occur in response to ligand binding or covalent modification such as phosphorylation. In many multidomain proteins these conformational changes involve reorientation of domains within the protein. Although X-ray crystallography can be used to determine the relative orientation of domains, the crystal-state conformation can reflect the effect of crystal packing forces and therefore may differ from the physiologically relevant form existing in solution. Here we demonstrate that the solution-state conformation of a multidomain protein can be obtained from its X-ray structure using an extensive set of dipolar couplings measured by triple-resonance multidimensional NMR spectroscopy in weakly aligning solvent. The solution-state conformation of the 370-residue maltodextrin-binding protein (MBP) loaded with beta-cyclodextrin has been determined on the basis of one-bond (15)N-H(N), (15)N-(13)C', (13)C(alpha)-(13)C', two-bond (13)C'-H(N), and three-bond (13)C(alpha)-H(N) dipolar couplings measured for 280, 262, 276, 262, and 276 residues, respectively. This conformation was generated by applying hinge rotations to various X-ray structures of MBP seeking to minimize the difference between the experimentally measured and calculated dipolar couplings. Consistent structures have been derived in this manner starting from four different crystal forms of MBP. The analysis has revealed substantial differences between the resulting solution-state conformation and its crystal-state counterpart (Protein Data Bank accession code 1DMB) with the solution structure characterized by an 11(+/-1) degrees domain closure. We have demonstrated that the precision achieved in these analyses is most likely limited by small uncertainties in the intradomain structure of the protein (ca 5 degrees uncertainty in orientation of internuclear vectors within domains). In addition, potential effects of interdomain motion have been considered using a number of different models and it was found that the structures derived on the basis of dipolar couplings accurately represent the effective average conformation of the protein.
