We report V-51 solid-state NMR spectroscopy of the 67.5-kDa vanadium chloroperoxidase, at 14.1 T. We demonstrate that, despite the low concentration of vanadium sites in the protein (one per molecule, 1 mu mol of vanadium spins in the entire sample), the spinning sideband manifold spanning the central and the satellite transitions is readily detectable. The quadrupolar and chemical shift anisotropy tensors have been determined by numerical simulations of the spinning sideband envelopes and the line shapes of the individual spinning sidebands corresponding to the central transition. The observed quadrupolar coupling constant C-Q of 10.5 +/- 1.5 MHz and chemical shift anisotropy delta(sigma) of -520 +/- 13 ppm are sensitive reporters of the geometric and electronic structure of the vanadium center. Density functional theory calculations of the NMR spectroscopic observables for an extensive series of active site models indicate that the vanadate cofactor is most likely anionic with one axial hydroxo- group and an equatorial plane consisting of one hydroxo- and two oxo- groups. The work reported in this manuscript is the first example of V-51 solid-state NMR spectroscopy applied to probe the vanadium center in a protein directly. This approach yields the detailed coordination environment of the metal unavailable from other experimental measurements and is expected to be generally applicable for studies of diamagnetic vanadium sites in metalloproteins.
