Abstract
The nucleosome core particle (NCP), comprised of histone proteins wrapped with ~146 base pairs of DNA, provides both protection and controlled access to DNA so as to regulate vital cellular processes. High-resolution structures of nucleosomes and nucleosome complexes have afforded a clear understanding of the structural role of NCPs, but a detailed description of the dynamical properties that facilitate DNA-templated processes is only beginning to emerge. Using methyl-TROSY NMR approaches we evaluate the effect of point mutations designed to perturb key histone interfaces that become destabilized during nucleosome remodeling in an effort to probe NCP plasticity. Notably the NCP retains its overall structural integrity, yet relaxation experiments of mutant nucleosomes reveal significant dynamics within a central histone interface associated with alternative NCP conformations populated to as much as 15% under low salt conditions. This work highlights the inherent plasticity of NCPs and establishes methyl-TROSY NMR as a valuable compliment to current single molecule methods in quantifying NCP dynamic properties.

Methyl labeling and TROSY NMR spectroscopy of proteins expressed in the eukaryote Pichia pastoris
Abstract
13C Methyl TROSY NMR spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful method for studying the dynamics of large systems such as macromolecular assemblies and membrane proteins. Specific 13C labeling of aliphatic methyl groups and perdeuteration has been limited primarily to proteins expressed in E. coli, preventing studies of many eukaryotic proteins of physiological and biomedical significance. We demonstrate the feasibility of...

Abstract
Large macromolecular assemblies, so-called molecular machines, are critical to ensuring proper cellular function. Understanding how proper function is achieved at the atomic level is crucial to advancing multiple avenues of biomedical research. Biophysical studies often include X-ray diffraction and...

With the development of appropriate labeling schemes and the associated experiments that exploit them it has become possible to record high quality solution NMR spectra of supra-molecular complexes with molecular masses extending to 1MDa. One such approach involves selective (13)CH(3) methyl labeling in highly deuterated proteins...
