This repository accompanies the 2023 manuscript by Theisen et al., titled 'Molecular switching in transcription through splicing and proline-isomerization regulates stress responses in plants.' The study delves into the complex molecular dynamics of transcriptional regulation in plant stress responses, shedding light on the role of proline-isomerization.
Key findings include the identification of a bivalent region in the transcription factor DREB2A, crucial for its interaction with the ACID domain of the Med25 component of the mediator complex. The research innovatively combines NMR and AF2 modeling to elucidate and verify the complex structure of the Med25-ACID and DREB2A interaction. Given the complexity of the Med25-ACID:TF complexes, cystalization is often impossible and NMR difficult. Here we emploed CEST NMR which proved pivotal in observing the bound state of DREB2A. This revealed a heterogeneous bound state of the secondary motif, influenced by the isomeric state of a proline residue within the primary motif. Furthermore, carbon chemical shift data indicate that the secondary motif's structure varies based on the proline conformation, with corresponding differences in affinity and dissociation rates.
The data are foundational in understanding these intricate interactions, offering a valuable resource for advancing our knowledge in the field of plant stress response regulation and mediator interactions.

This repository is organized into several folders depending on the data type.
- DREB2A NMR data contains CEST profiles in a raw format. WT DREB2A was recorded using 500 µM DREB2A and 25 µM Med25ACID. Carbon CEST profiles were recorded at 25 °C.
- For assistance with processing of CEST data, contact authors.
- Med25-ACID NMR data contains chemical shifts of the unbound state and D2a titrations, relaxation rates and hetNOEs. Assignment and titration data was obtained at 25 °C at pH 6.5 using BestTrosy pulse sequences.
- Also contains MICS output for free Med25-ACID and Med25ACID with DREB2A ABS.
- Titrations>CSP Excel files contains Med25-ACID CSPs for the three DREB2A fragment titrations.
- Raw .itc files are provided. Concentrations given in file should be correct.
- Spolar Record structuring analysis data is also provided in an Excel file.
- Contains raw fluorescence traces. Indicated concentrations are post mixing concentations.
