G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) exist in equilibrium between multiple conformations, and their populations and exchange rates determine their functions. However, analyses of the conformational dynamics of GPCRs in lipid bilayers are still challenging, because methods for observations of NMR signals of large proteins expressed in a baculovirus-insect cell expression system (BVES) are limited. Here, we report a method to incorporate methyl-13C1H3-labeled alanine with >â??45% efficiency in highly deuterated proteins expressed in BVES. Application of the method to the NMR observations of β2-adrenergic receptor in micelles and in nanodiscs revealed the ligand-induced conformational differences throughout the transmembrane region of the GPCR.

Scrambling free combinatorial labeling of alanine-β, isoleucine-δ1, leucine-pro S and valine-pro S methyl groups for the detection of long range NOEs
Abstract
Specific isotopic labeling of methyl groups in proteins has greatly extended the applicability of solution NMR spectroscopy. Simultaneous labeling of the methyl groups of several different amino acid types can offer a larger number of useful probes that can be used for structural characterisations of challenging proteins. Herein, we propose an improved AILV methyl-labeling protocol in which L...
