Abstract
Characterization of proteins using NMR methods begins with assignment of resonances to specific residues. This is usually accomplished using sequential connectivities between nuclear pairs in proteins uniformly labeled with NMR active isotopes. This becomes impractical for larger proteins, and especially for proteins that are best expressed in mammalian cells, including glycoproteins. Here an alternate protocol for the assignment of NMR resonances of sparsely labeled proteins, namely ones labeled with a single amino acid type, or a limited subset of types, isotopically enriched with 15N or 13C, is described. The protocol is based on comparison of data collected using extensions of simple two-dimensional NMR experiments (correlated chemical shifts, nuclear Overhauser effects, residual dipolar couplings) to predictions from molecular dynamics trajectories that begin with known protein structures. Optimal pairing of predicted and experimental values is facilitated by a software package that employs a genetic algorithm, ASSIGN_SLP_MD. The approach is applied to the 36 kDa luminal domain of the sialyltransferase, rST6Gal1, in which all phenylalanines are labeled with 15N, and the results are validated by elimination of resonances via single-point mutations of selected phenylalanines to tyrosines. Assignment allows the use of previously published paramagnetic relaxation enhancements to evaluate placement of a substrate analog in the active site of this protein. The protocol will open the way to structural characterization of the many glycosylated and other proteins that are best expressed in mammalian cells.

Abstract
Sparse isotopic labeling of proteins for NMR studies using single types of amino acid ((15)N or (13)C enriched) has several advantages. Resolution is enhanced by reducing numbers of resonances for large proteins, and isotopic labeling becomes economically feasible for glycoproteins...

Abstract
Sparse isotopic labeling of proteins for NMR studies using single types of amino acid (15N or 13C enriched) has several advantages. Resolution is enhanced by reducing numbers of resonances for large proteins, and isotopic labeling becomes economically feasible for glycoproteins that must be expressed in mammalian cells. However, without access to the traditional triple resonance strategies that require uniform isotopic labeling, NMR assignment of crosspeaks in...

Bacterial production of site specific 13 C labeled phenylalanine and methodology for high level incorporation into bacterially expressed recombinant proteins
Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies of ever larger systems have benefited from many different forms of isotope labeling, in particular, site specific isotopic labeling. Site specific 13C labeling of methyl groups has become an established means of probing systems not amenable to traditional methodology. However useful, methyl reporter sites can be limited in number and/or...

Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a powerful tool to interrogate protein structure and dynamics residue by residue. However, the prerequisite chemical-shift assignment remains a bottleneck for large proteins due to the fast relaxation and the frequency...

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...

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) play important roles in many critical cellular processes. Due to their limited chemical shift dispersion, IDPs often require four pairs of resonance connectivities (H?, C?, C? and CO) for establishing sequential backbone assignment. Because most conventional 4-D...
