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 amino acid sequence, only one signal in the 1D carbonyl (13)C spectrum will display a splitting due to the (1)J(C'N) coupling. Using this labeling strategy it is possible to screen selectively for binding to a selected epitope without the need for sequence specific assignments. An HNCO spectrum (1D or 2D) can be used either directly as a screening experiment or indirectly to identify what signals to monitor in a 2D (1)H-(15)N correlation spectrum. Chemical shift perturbations upon addition of a potential ligand are easily detected even for large proteins due to the reduced spectral complexity resulting from the use of a selectively labeled sample. The new technique is demonstrated on the human adipocyte fatty acid binding protein FABP-4. Due to the reduced spectral complexity, the method should be applicable to larger proteins than are conventional methods.

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...

A simple protocol for amino acid type selective isotope labeling in insect cells with improved yields and high reproducibility
Abstract An easy to use and robust approach for amino acid type selective isotope labeling in insect cells is presented. It relies on inexpensive commercial media and can be implemented in laboratories without sophisticated infrastructure. In contrast to previous protocols, where either high protein amounts or high incorporation ratios were obtained, here we achieve both at the same time. By supplementing media with a well considered amount of yeast extract,...

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...

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...
