Default Application of Reductive 13C-Methylation of Lysines to Enhance the Sensitivity of Conventional NMR Methods.

Application of Reductive 13C-Methylation of Lysines to Enhance the Sensitivity of Conventional NMR Methods.

Application of Reductive 13C-Methylation of Lysines to Enhance the Sensitivity of Conventional NMR Methods.

Abstract
NMR is commonly used to investigate macromolecular interactions. However, sensitivity problems hamper its use for studying such interactions at low physiologically relevant concentrations. At high concentrations, proteins or peptides tend to aggregate. In order to overcome this problem, we make use of reductive 13C-methylation to study protein interactions at low micromolar concentrations. Methyl groups in dimethyl lysines are degenerate with one 13CH3 signal arising from two carbons and six protons, as compared to one carbon and three protons in aliphatic amino acids. The improved sensitivity allows us to study protein-protein or protein-peptide interactions at very low micromolar concentrations. We demonstrate the utility of this method by studying the interaction between the post-translationally lipidated hypervariable region of a human proto-oncogenic GTPase K-Ras and a calcium sensor protein calmodulin. Calmodulin specifically binds K-Ras and modulates its downstream signaling. This binding specificity is attributed to the unique lipidated hypervariable region of K-Ras. At low micromolar concentrations, the post-translationally modified hypervariable region of K-Ras aggregates and binds calmodulin in a non-specific manner, hence conventional NMR techniques cannot be used for studying this interaction, however, upon reductively methylating the lysines of calmodulin, we detected signals of the lipidated hypervariable region of K-Ras at physiologically relevant nanomolar concentrations. Thus, we utilize 13C-reductive methylation of lysines to enhance the sensitivity of conventional NMR methods for studying protein interactions at low concentrations.

Lysine methylation strategies for characterizing protein conformations by NMR
Lysine methylation strategies for characterizing protein conformations by NMR Abstract In the presence of formaldehyde and a mild reducing agent, reductive methylation is known to achieve near complete dimethylation of protein amino groups under non-denaturing conditions, in aqueous media. Amino methylation of proteins is employed in mass spectrometric, crystallographic, and NMR studies. Where biosynthetic labeling is prohibitive, amino 13C-methylation provides an attractive option for monitoring folding, kinetics, proteinā??protein and protein-DNA interactions by NMR. Here, we...

Paramagnetic relaxation enhancement to improve sensitivity of fast NMR methods: application to intrinsically disordered proteins
Paramagnetic relaxation enhancement to improve sensitivity of fast NMR methods: application to intrinsically disordered proteins Abstract We report enhanced sensitivity NMR measurements of intrinsically disordered proteins in the presence of paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) agents such as Ni2+-chelated DO2A. In proton-detected 1H-15N SOFAST-HMQC and carbon-detected (H-flip)13CO-15N experiments, faster longitudinal relaxation enables the usage of even shorter interscan delays. This results in higher NMR signal intensities per units of experimental time, without adverse line...

[U. of Ottawa NMR Facility Blog] CPMG to Enhance Sharp Lines
CPMG to Enhance Sharp Lines The Carr - Purcell - Meiboom - Gill (CPMG) sequence is used to measure T2 relaxation times and more recently has made an impact in measuring the line shapes of very broad solid lines by breaking them up into spikelet patterns which mimic the static line shape. The very simple pulse sequence is shown here:http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5wBTR2kKTqA/S2xdSaQ7iPI/AAAAAAAAAt0/kg9wRg8ccoY/s400/cpmg2.jpgDuring the (D2 - ? -D2)n period the intensity of lines with short T2 (broad lines) diminishes much more quickly than that for lines with long T2 (sharp lines). The CPMG...
