The unambiguous assignment of the aromatic ring resonances in proteins has been severely hampered by the inherently poor sensitivities of the currently available methodologies developed for uniformly 13C/15N-labeled proteins. Especially, the small chemical shift differences between aromatic ring carbons and protons for phenylalanine residues in proteins have prevented the selective observation and unambiguous assignment of each signal. We have solved all of the difficulties due to the tightly coupled spin systems by preparing regio-/stereoselectively 13C/2H/15N-labeled phenylalanine (Phe) and tyrosine (Tyr) to avoid the presence of directly connected 13C-1H pairs in the aromatic rings. The superiority of the new labeling schemes for the assignment of aromatic ring signals is clearly demonstrated for a 17 kDa calcium binding protein, calmodulin.
4D APSY-HBCB(CG)CDHD experiment for automated assignment of aromatic amino acid side chains in proteins
4D APSY-HBCB(CG)CDHD experiment for automated assignment of aromatic amino acid side chains in proteins
Abstract A four-dimensional (4D) APSY (automated projection spectroscopy)-HBCB(CG)CDHD experiment is presented. This 4D experiment correlates aromatic with aliphatic carbon and proton resonances from the same amino acid side chain of proteins in aqueous solution. It thus allows unambiguous sequence-specific assignment of aromatic amino acid ring signals based on backbone assignments. Compared to conventional 2D approaches, the inclusion of evolution periods on 1Hβ and 13Cδ...

An intraresidual i(HCA)CO(CA)NH experiment for the assignment of main-chain resonances in 15N, 13C labeled proteins
An intraresidual i(HCA)CO(CA)NH experiment for the assignment of main-chain resonances in 15N, 13C labeled proteins
Abstract An improved pulse sequence, intraresidual i(HCA)CO(CA)NH, is described for establishing solely 13Câ?²(i), 15N(i), 1HN(i) connectivities in uniformly 15N/13C-labeled proteins. In comparison to the â??out-and-backâ?? style intra-HN(CA)CO experiment, the new pulse sequence offers at least two-fold higher experimental resolution in the 13Câ?² dimension and on average 1.6 times higher sensitivity especially for residues in α-helices. Performance of the new experiment...

Application of SAIL phenylalanine and tyrosine with alternative isotope-labeling patterns for protein structure determination
Application of SAIL phenylalanine and tyrosine with alternative isotope-labeling patterns for protein structure determination
Abstract The extensive collection of NOE constraint data involving the aromatic ring signals is essential for accurate protein structure determination, although it is often hampered in practice by the pervasive signal overlapping and tight spin couplings for aromatic rings. We have prepared various types of stereo-array isotope labeled phenylalanines (ε- and ζ-SAIL Phe) and tyrosine (ε-SAIL Tyr) to overcome these problems (Torizawa et al. 2005), and proven...
