Characterization of proteins by in-cell NMR spectroscopy in cultured mammalian cells.
Nat Protoc. 2016 Jun;11(6):1101-1111
Authors: Barbieri L, Luchinat E, Banci L
Abstract
In-cell NMR spectroscopy is a unique tool for characterizing biological macromolecules in their physiological environment at atomic resolution. Recent progress in NMR instruments and sample preparation methods allows functional processes, such as metal uptake, disulfide-bond formation and protein folding, to be analyzed by NMR in living, cultured human cells. This protocol describes the necessary steps to overexpress one or more proteins of interest inside human embryonic kidney 293T (HEK293T) cells, and it explains how to set up in-cell NMR experiments. The cDNA is transiently transfected as a complex with a cationic polymer (DNA:PEI (polyethylenimine)), and protein expression is carried on for 2-3 d, after which the NMR sample is prepared. (1)H and (1)H-(15)N correlation NMR experiments (for example, using band-selective optimized flip-angle short-transient heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence (SOFAST-HMQC)) can be carried out in

Abstract
In-cell NMR provides structural and functional information on proteins directly inside living cells. At present, the high costs of the labeled media for mammalian cells represent a limiting factor for the development of this methodology. Here we report a protocol to prepare a...

Algal autolysate medium to label proteins for NMR in mammalian cells
Abstract
In-cell NMR provides structural and functional information on proteins directly inside living cells. At present, the high costs of the labeled media for mammalian cells represent a limiting factor for the development of this methodology. Here we report a protocol to prepare a homemade growth medium from Spirulina platensis autolysate, suitable to express uniformly labeled proteins inside mammalian cells at a reduced cost-per-sample. The human proteins SOD1 and Mia40 were...

Most proteins function in cells where protein concentrations can reach 400g/l. However, most quantitative studies of protein properties are performed in idealized, dilute conditions. Recently developed in-cell NMR techniques can provide protein structure and other biophysical properties inside living cells at atomic resolution. Here we review how protein dynamics, including global and internal motions have been...
