Abstract
Escherichia coli (E. coli) is the most widely used expression host for recombinant proteins due to high expression yields and straightforward molecular cloning. Directed evolution of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) has made several of these difficult to express membrane proteins amenable to prokaryotic expression. Here, we describe a protocol for near complete 13CH3-methionine labeling of a thermostable neurotensin receptor 1 (enNTS1) variant in E. coli for solution NMR-based dynamics studies. Our expression strategy utilizes methionine biosynthesis pathway inhibition forcing E. coli to incorporate exogenous methionine with 96% efficiency at expression levels of 2.6*mg enNTS1 per liter of expression culture containing 50*mg of 13CH3-methionine. We also provide a 3-step purification protocol that produces final yields of 0.6*mg of functional Apo-state enNTS1.
Biosynthetic production of fully carbon-13 labeled retinal in E. coli for structural and functional studies of rhodopsins
Biosynthetic production of fully carbon-13 labeled retinal in E. coli for structural and functional studies of rhodopsins
Abstract
The isomerization of a covalently bound retinal is an integral part of both microbial and animal rhodopsin function. As such, detailed structure and conformational changes in the retinal binding pocket are of significant interest and are studied in various NMR, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy experiments, which commonly require isotopic labeling of retinal. Unfortunately, the de novo organic synthesis of an...
