A large proportion of human proteins contain post-translational modifications that cannot be synthesized by prokaryotes. Thus, mammalian expression systems are often employed to characterize structure/function relationships using NMR spectroscopy. Here we define the selective isotope labeling of secreted, post-translationally modified proteins using human embryonic kidney (HEK)293 cells. We determined that alpha-[^(15)N]- atoms from 10 amino acids experience minimal metabolic scrambling (C, F,...

A large proportion of human proteins contain post-translational modifications that cannot be synthesized by prokaryotes. Thus, mammalian expression systems are often employed to characterize structure/function relationships using NMR spectroscopy. Here we define the selective isotope labeling of secreted, post-translationally modified proteins using human embryonic kidney (HEK)293 cells. We determined that alpha-- atoms...

Amino-acid selective isotope labeling enables simultaneous overlapping signal decomposition and information extraction from NMR spectra
Amino-acid selective isotope labeling enables simultaneous overlapping signal decomposition and information extraction from NMR spectra
Abstract
Signal overlapping is a major bottleneck for protein NMR analysis. We propose a new method, stable-isotope-assisted parameter extraction (SiPex), to resolve overlapping signals by a combination of amino-acid selective isotope labeling (AASIL) and tensor decomposition. The basic idea of Sipex is that overlapping signals can be decomposed with the help of intensity patterns derived from quantitative fractional...

An improved protocol for amino acid type-selective isotope labeling in insect cells
An improved protocol for amino acid type-selective isotope labeling in insect cells
Abstract
An improved expression protocol is proposed for amino acid type-specific , -isotope labeling of proteins in baculovirus-infected (BV) insect cell cultures. This new protocol modifies the methods published by Gossert et al. (J Biomol NMR 51(4):449â??456, 2011) and provides efficient incorporation of isotopically labeled amino acids, with similar yields per L versus unlabeled expression in rich media. Gossert et al. identified the presence of unlabeled amino...

A simple protocol for amino acid type selective isotope labeling in insect cells with improved yields and high reproducibility
Abstract An easy to use and robust approach for amino acid type selective isotope labeling in insect cells is presented. It relies on inexpensive commercial media and can be implemented in laboratories without sophisticated infrastructure. In contrast to previous protocols, where either high protein amounts or high incorporation ratios were obtained, here we achieve both at the same time. By supplementing media with a well considered amount of yeast extract,...

For the application of multidimensional NMR spectroscopy to larger proteins, it would be useful to perform selective labeling of one of the 20 amino acids. For some amino acids, however, amino acid metabolism drastically reduces the efficiency and selectivity...

Journal of Biomolecular NMR; 2008; 42(1); pp 59-67
Abstract:
A simple and user-friendly method of labeling protein selectively with amino acids in vivo is introduced. This technique does not require the use of transaminase-deficient or auxotrophic strains. By manipulating the product feedback inhibitory loops of the E. coli amino acid metabolic pathways and, if necessary, by using enzyme inhibitors, proteins were labeled efficiently in vivo...
