J Biomol NMR. 2001 Mar;19(3):267-72
Authors: Atreya HS, Chary KV
A novel methodology for stereospecific NMR assignments of methyl (CH3) groups of Val and Leu residues in fractionally 13C-labeled proteins is presented. The approach is based on selective 'unlabeling' of specific amino acids in proteins while fractionally 13C-labeling the rest. A 2D [13C-1H] HSQC spectrum recorded on such a sample is devoid of peaks belonging to the 'unlabeled' amino acid residues. Such spectral simplification aids in unambiguous stereospecific assignment of diastereotopic CH3 groups in Val and Leu residues in large proteins. This methodology has been demonstrated on a 15 kDa calcium binding protein from Entamoeba histolytica (Eh-CaBP).

Amino acid selective unlabeling for sequence specific resonance assignments in proteins
Abstract Sequence specific resonance assignment constitutes an important step towards high-resolution structure determination of proteins by NMR and is aided by selective identification and assignment of amino acid types. The traditional approach to selective labeling yields only the chemical shifts of the particular amino acid being selected and does not help in establishing a link between adjacent residues along the polypeptide chain, which is important for sequential assignments. An alternative...

Site-specific labeling of proteins with NMR-active unnatural amino acids
Site-specific labeling of proteins with NMR-active unnatural amino acids
Abstract A large number of amino acids other than the canonical amino acids can now be easily incorporated in vivo into proteins at genetically encoded positions. The technology requires an orthogonal tRNA/aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase pair specific for the unnatural amino acid that is added to the media while a TAG amber or frame shift codon specifies the incorporation site in the protein to be studied. These unnatural amino acids can be isotopically labeled and provide unique opportunities for site-specific labeling...

A new method for site-selective screening by NMR is presented. The core of the new method is the dual amino acid sequence specific labeling technique. Amino acid X is labeled with (13)C and amino acid Y is labeled with (15)N. Provided only one XY pair occurs in the...

Journal of Biomolecular NMR; 2008; 42(1); pp 59-67
Abstract:
A simple and user-friendly method of labeling protein selectively with amino acids in vivo is introduced. This technique does not require the use of transaminase-deficient or auxotrophic strains. By manipulating the product feedback inhibitory loops of the E. coli amino acid metabolic pathways and, if necessary, by using enzyme inhibitors, proteins were labeled efficiently in vivo...
