Protein histidine phosphorylation has largely remained unexplored due to the challenges of analyzing relatively unstable phosphohistidine-containing proteins. We describe a procedure for determining the stoichiometry of histidine phosphorylation on the human histidine kinases NME1 and NME2 by intact mass spectrometry under conditions that retain this acid-labile protein modification. By characterizing these two model histidine protein kinases in the absence and presence of a suitable phosphate donor, the stoichiometry of histidine phosphorylation can be determined. The described method can be readily adapted for the analysis of other proteins containing phosphohistidine.

Recently, we have studied the coordination chemistry of the Cu(II)-histidine-rich C-terminal tail (HRCT) complex of the mycobacterial GroEL1 protein. The structure of this domain differs significantly compared to the well-known methionine-glycine-rich GroEL chaperonin - it was predicted that mycobacterial GroEL1 could play a significant role in the metal homeostasis of , especially copper. However, we found that this particular domain's pattern also repeats in a number of Ni(II)-binding proteins.

Mycobacterial histidine-rich GroEL1 protein significantly differs from the well-known methionine-glycine-rich GroEL chaperonin and most preferably participates in Cu(II) homeostasis. Some GroEL1 proteins, however, do not possess six but only three histidine residues and more acidic residues that can function as binding sites for metal ions. To evaluate the importance of this difference, we examined and compared the properties of GroEL1 His-rich or Glu/His-rich C-terminal domains as ligands for Cu(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) ions.

Amphiphilic peptides, such as Aß amyloids, can adsorb at an interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES). Based on previous work (vide infra), a hydrophilic/hydrophobic interface is used as a simple biomimetic system for studying drug interactions. The ITIES provides a 2D interface to study ion-transfer processes associated with aggregation, as a function of Galvani potential difference.

Histidine-M coordination bonds are a recognized bond motif in biogenic materials with high hardness and extensibility, which has led to growing interest in their use in soft materials for mechanical function. However, the effect of different metal ions on the stability of the coordination complex remains poorly understood, complicating their implementation in metal-coordinated polymer materials. Herein, rheology experiments and density functional theory calculations are used to characterize the stability of coordination complexes and establish the binding hierarchy of histamine and imidazole with Ni , Cu , and Zn .

The mycobacterial histidine-rich GroEL1 protein differs significantly compared to the well-known methionine/glycine-rich GroEL chaperonin. It was predicted that mycobacterial GroEL1 can play a significant role in the metal homeostasis of but not, as its analogue, in protein folding. In this paper, we present the properties of the GroEL1 His-rich C-terminus as a ligand for Cu(II) ions.
