Abstract
Despite the great interest in glycoproteins, structural information reporting on conformation and dynamics of the sugar moieties are limited. We present a new biochemical method to express proteins with glycans that are selectively labeled with NMR active nuclei. We report on the incorporation of 13C-labeled mannose in the C-mannosylated UNC-5 thrombospondin repeat. The conformational landscape of the C-mannose sugar puckers attached to tryptophan residues of UNC-5 is characterized by interconversion between the canonical 1C4 state and the B03 / 1S3 state. This flexibility may be essential for protein folding and stabilization. We foresee that this versatile tool to produce proteins with selective labeled C-mannose can be applied and adjusted to other systems and modifications and potentially paves a way to advance glycoprotein research by unravelling the dynamical and conformational properties of glycan structures and their interactions.

Identification of conformation-selective nanobodies against the membrane protein insertase BamA by an integrated structural biology approach
Abstract
The insertase BamA is an essential protein of the bacterial outer membrane. Its 16-stranded transmembrane β-barrel contains a lateral gate as a key functional element. This gate is formed by the C-terminal half of the last β-strand. The BamA barrel was previously found to sample different conformations in aqueous solution, as well as different gate-open, gate-closed, and collapsed conformations in...

NMR based screening has become an important tool in the pharmaceutical industry. Methods that provide information on the location of small molecule binding sites on the surface of a drug target (e. g. SAR-by-NMR and related techniques) are of particular interest. In order to extend the applicability of...
