Abstract:

Cell-free protein synthesis protocols for uniformly deuterated proteins typically yield low, non-uniform deuteration levels. This paper introduces an E. coli cell-extract, D-S30, which enables efficient production of proteins with high deuteration levels for all non-labile hydrogen atom positions. Potential applications of the new protocol may include production of proteins with selective isotope-labeling of selected amino acid residues on a perdeuterated background for studies of enzyme active sites or for ligand screening in drug discovery projects, as well as the synthesis of perdeuterated polypeptides for NMR spectroscopy with large supra-molecular structures. As an illustration, it is demonstrated that the 800-kDa chaperonine GroEL synthesized with the D-S30 cell-free system had a uniform deuteration level of about 95% and assembled into its biologically active oligomeric form.

Suppression of isotope scrambling in cell-free protein synthesis by broadband inhibition of PLP enymes for selective 15N-labelling and production of perdeuterated proteins in H2O Suppression of isotope scrambling in cell-free protein synthesis by broadband inhibition of PLP enymes for selective 15N-labelling and production of perdeuterated proteins in H2O Abstract Selectively isotope labelled protein samples can be prepared in vivo or in vitro from selectively labelled amino acids but, in many cases, metabolic conversions between different amino acids result in isotope scrambling. The best results are obtained by cell-free protein synthesis, where metabolic enzymes are generally less active, but isotope scrambling can never be suppressed completely. We show that...	nmrlearner	Journal club	0	02-16-2011 09:34 PM
Cell-free expression and stable isotope labelling strategies for membrane proteins Cell-free expression and stable isotope labelling strategies for membrane proteins Abstract Membrane proteins are highly underrepresented in the structural data-base and remain one of the most challenging targets for functional and structural elucidation. Their roles in transport and cellular communication, furthermore, often make over-expression toxic to their host, and their hydrophobicity and structural complexity make isolation and reconstitution a complicated task, especially in cases where proteins are targeted to inclusion bodies. The development of cell-free expression systems...	nmrlearner	Journal club	0	01-09-2011 12:46 PM
