Abstract
Ixolaris is an anticoagulant protein identified in the tick saliva of Ixodes scapularis. Ixolaris contains 2 Kunitz like domains and binds to Factor Xa or Factor X as a scaffold for inhibition of the Tissue Factor (TF)/Factor VIIa (FVIIa). In contrast to tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), however, Ixolaris does not bind to the active site cleft of FXa. Instead, complex formation is mediated by the FXa heparin-binding exosite. Due to its potent and long-lasting antithrombotic activity, Ixolaris is a promising agent for anticoagulant therapy. Although numerous functional studies of Ixolaris exist, three-dimensional structure of Ixolaris has not been obtained at atomic resolution. Using the pET32 vector, we successfully expressed a TRX-His6-Ixolaris fusion protein. By combining Ni-NTA chromatography, enterokinase protease cleavage, and reverse phase HPLC (RP-HPLC), we purified isotopically labeled Ixolaris for NMR studies. 1D (1)H and 2D (15)N-(1)H NMR analysis yielded high quality 2D (15)N-(1)H HSQC spectra revealing that the recombinant protein is folded. These studies represent the first steps in obtaining high-resolution structural information by NMR for Ixolaris enabling the investigation of the molecular basis for Ixolaris-coagulation factors interactions.

Solid state NMR (ssNMR) can characterize mineral (31P) and organic (13C) components of human salivary stones (n*=*8). All show apatitic 31P spectra. 13C ssNMR indicates more protein, of more consistent composition, than apatitic uroliths, with prominent...

Recently I was thinking about my RNA project and wishing that I could express RNA in bacteria as is typically done for recombinant proteins. I looked at the July issue of Nature Methods to see a paper describing exactly the technology I was imagining. The authors created plasmids which allow the fusion of a target RNA sequence to a tRNA scaffold which is authenically processed by the cellular machinery and protected from degradation by the intrinsic stability of the tRNA. The potential benefits of this technology for NMR of RNA...
