High-resolution structural NMR analyses of membrane proteins are challenging due to their large size, resulting in broad resonances and strong signal overlap. Among the isotope labeling methods that can remedy this situation, segmental isotope labeling is a suitable strategy to simplify NMR spectra and retain high-resolution structural information. However, protein ligation within integral membrane proteins is complicated since the hydrophobic protein fragments are insoluble, and the removal of...

Abstract
Methyl groups are very useful probes of structure, dynamics, and interactions in protein NMR spectroscopy. In particular, methyl-directed experiments provide high sensitivity even in very large proteins, such as membrane proteins in a membrane-mimicking...

Efficient segmental isotope labeling of multi-domain proteins using Sortase A
Efficient segmental isotope labeling of multi-domain proteins using Sortase A
Abstract
NMR studies of multi-domain protein complexes provide unique insight into their molecular interactions and dynamics in solution. For large proteins domain-selective isotope labeling is desired to reduce signal overlap, but available methods require extensive optimization and often give poor ligation yields. We present an optimized strategy for segmental labeling of multi-domain proteins using the S. aureus transpeptidase Sortase A. Critical improvements compared to...

Segmental isotope labeling of proteins for NMR structural study using a protein S tag for higher expression and solubility
Segmental isotope labeling of proteins for NMR structural study using a protein S tag for higher expression and solubility
Abstract A common obstacle to NMR studies of proteins is sample preparation. In many cases, proteins targeted for NMR studies are poorly expressed and/or expressed in insoluble forms. Here, we describe a novel approach to overcome these problems. In the protein S tag-intein (PSTI) technology, two tandem 92-residue N-terminal domains of protein S (PrS2) from Myxococcus xanthus is fused at the N-terminal end of a protein to enhance its expression and solubility. Using...

Uniform isotope labeling of a eukaryotic seven-transmembrane helical protein in yeast enables high-resolution solid-state NMR studies in the lipid environment
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...
