Mol Biosyst. 2010 Oct 18;
Authors: Wagstaff JL, Howard MJ, Williamson RA
The integrin ?v?6 is up-regulated in several cancers and has clinical potential for both tumour imaging and therapy. Peptide ligands have been developed which show good binding specificity for ?v?6 and provide an opportunity to study the interaction in more detail by NMR. Such studies ideally require (15)N and (13)C labelled peptides, and recombinant expression within E. coli provides a cost effective way of generating isotopically labelled proteins and peptides. In this study we have used an insoluble fusion partner (ketosteroid isomerase) to produce high yields of recombinant peptide. The insoluble nature of the fusion allowed simple product recovery by cell lysis and centrifugation, and thorough washing of the insoluble pellet to remove contaminating proteins avoided the need for nickel-affinity chromatography in denaturing conditions which is the standard procedure. The protocol described here is convenient to scale-up and requires only one chromatography step (reverse-phase HPLC) which is comparable to solid-phase synthesis.

Mammalian production of an isotopically enriched outer domain of the HIV-1 gp120 glycoprotein for NMR spectroscopy
Abstract NMR spectroscopic characterization of the structure or the dynamics of proteins generally requires the production of samples isotopically enriched in 15N, 13C, or 2H. The bacterial expression systems currently in use to obtain isotopic enrichment, however, cannot produce a number of eukaryotic proteins, especially those that require post-translational modifications such as N-linked glycosylation for proper folding or activity. Here, we report the use of an...

Production of isotopically labeled heterologous proteins in non-E. coli prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
Abstract The preparation of stable isotope-labeled proteins is necessary for the application of a wide variety of NMR methods, to study the structures and dynamics of proteins and protein complexes. The E. coli expression system is generally used for the production of isotope-labeled proteins, because of the advantages of ease of handling, rapid growth, high-level protein production, and low cost for isotope-labeling. However, many eukaryotic proteins are not functionally expressed...

Enhanced production and isotope enrichment of recombinant glycoproteins produced in c
Abstract NMR studies of post-translationally modified proteins are complicated by the lack of an efficient method to produce isotope enriched recombinant proteins in cultured mammalian cells. We show that reducing the glucose concentration and substituting glutamate for glutamine in serum-free medium increased cell viability while simultaneously increasing recombinant protein yield and the enrichment of non-essential amino acids compared to culture in unmodified, serum-free medium. Adding dichloroacetate, a pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase inhibitor, further improves cell viability, recombinant...
