Auto-inducing media for protein expression offer many advantages like robust reproducibility, high yields of soluble protein and much reduced workload. Here, an auto-inducing medium for uniform isotope labelling of proteins with 15N, 13C and/or 2H in E. coli is presented. So far, auto-inducing media have not found widespread application in the NMR field, because of the prohibitively high cost of labeled lactose, which is an essential ingredient of such media. Here, we propose using lactose that is only selectively labeled on the glucose moiety. It can be synthesized from inexpensive and readily available substrates: labeled glucose and unlabeled activated galactose. With this approach, uniformly isotope labeled proteins were expressed in unattended auto-inducing cultures with incorporation of 13C, 15N of 96.6Â*% and 2H, 15N of 98.8Â*%. With the present protocol, the NMR community could profit from the many advantages that auto-inducing media offer.

Uniform isotope labeling of a eukaryotic seven-transmembrane helical protein in yeast enables high-resolution solid-state NMR studies in the lipid environment
Abstract Overexpression of isotope-labeled multi-spanning eukaryotic membrane proteins for structural NMR studies is often challenging. On the one hand, difficulties with achieving proper folding, membrane insertion, and native-like post-translational modifications frequently disqualify bacterial expression systems. On the other hand, eukaryotic cell cultures can be prohibitively expensive. One of the viable alternatives,...

Recent advances in segmental isotope labeling of proteins: NMR applications to large proteins and glycoproteins
Abstract In the last 15 years substantial advances have been made to place isotope labels in native and glycosylated proteins for NMR studies and structure determination. Key developments include segmental isotope labeling using Native Chemical Ligation, Expressed Protein Ligation and Protein Trans-Splicing. These advances are pushing the size limit of NMR spectroscopy further making larger proteins accessible for this technique. It is just emerging that segmental isotope...
