Abstract The feasibility of practically complete backbone and ILV methyl chemical shift assignments from a single [U-2H,15N,13C; Ileδ1-{13CH3}; Leu,Val-{13CH3/12CD3}]-labeled protein sample of the truncated form of ligand-free Bst-Tyrosyl tRNA Synthetase (Bst-Î?YRS), a 319-residue predominantly helical homodimer, is established. Protonation of ILV residues at methyl positions does not appreciably detract from the quality of TROSY triple resonance data. The assignments are performed at 40 °C to improve the sensitivity of the measurements and alleviate the overlap of 1Hâ??15N correlations in the abundant α-helical segments of the protein. A number of auxiliary approaches are used to assist in the assignment process: (1) selection of 1Hâ??15N amide correlations of certain residue types (Ala, Thr/Ser) that simplifies 2D 1Hâ??15N TROSY spectra, (2) straightforward identification of ILV residue types from the methyl-detected â??out-and-backâ?? HMCM(CG)CBCA experiment, and (3) strong sequential HNâ??HN NOE connectivities in the helical regions. The two subunits of Bst-YRS were predicted earlier to exist in two different conformations in the absence of ligands. In agreement with our earlier findings (Godoy-Ruiz in J Am Chem Soc 133:19578â??195781, 2011), no evidence of dimer asymmetry has been observed in either amide- or methyl-detected experiments.

The described TROSY-based experiments for investigating backbone dynamics of proteins make it possible to elucidate internal motions in large proteins via measurements of T(1), T(2), and NOE of backbone (15)N nuclei. In our proposed sequences, the INEPT sequence is eliminated and the PEP sequence is replaced by the ST2-PT...

High-resolution methyl edited GFT NMR experiments for protein resonance assignments and structure determination
Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) structure determination of proteins is benefitted by long-range distance constraints comprising the methyl groups, which constitute the hydrophobic core of proteins. However, in methyl groups (of Ala, Ile, Leu, Met, Thr and Val) there is a significant overlap of 13C and 1H chemical shifts. Such overlap can be resolved using the recently proposed (3,2)D HCCH-COSY, a G-matrix Fourier transform (GFT) NMR based experiment, which facilitates editing...

Triple-resonance solid-state NMR spectroscopy is demonstrated to sequentially assign the 13C' and 15N amide backbone resonances of adjacent residues in an oriented protein sample. The observed 13C' chemical shift frequency provides an orientational constraint complementary to those measured from the 1H and 15N amide...
