Solution NMR spectroscopy of supra-molecular systems, why bother? A methyl-TROSY view.
J Magn Reson. 2011 Mar 30;
Authors: Kay LE
With the development of appropriate labeling schemes and the associated experiments that exploit them it has become possible to record high quality solution NMR spectra of supra-molecular complexes with molecular masses extending to 1MDa. One such approach involves selective (13)CH(3) methyl labeling in highly deuterated proteins using experiments that make use of a methyl-TROSY effect that significantly improves both resolution and sensitivity in spectra. The utility of this methodology has been demonstrated on a growing number of interesting particles. It seems appropriate at this juncture, therefore, to 'step back' and evaluate the role that solution NMR spectroscopy can play in what has traditionally been the domain of X-ray crystallography and more recently cryo-electron microscopy. It is argued here that solution NMR can make a critical contribution to our understanding of how dynamics regulate function in these high molecular weight systems. Several examples from work in my laboratory on the proteasome are presented as an illustration.

Multiplet-filtered and gradient-selected zero-quantum TROSY experiments for 13C1H3 methyl groups in proteins
Multiplet-filtered and gradient-selected zero-quantum TROSY experiments for 13C1H3 methyl groups in proteins
Abstract Multiplet-filtered and gradient-selected heteronuclear zero-quantum coherence (gsHZQC) TROSY experiments are described for measuring 1Hâ??13C correlations for 13CH3 methyl groups in proteins. These experiments provide improved suppression of undesirable, broad outer components of the heteronuclear zero-quantum multiplet in medium-sized proteins, or in flexible sites of larger proteins, compared to previously described HZQC sequences (Tugarinov et al. in J Am Chem Soc...

Methyl groups as probes of supra-molecular structure, dynamics and function
Methyl groups as probes of supra-molecular structure, dynamics and function
Abstract The development of new protein labeling strategies, along with optimized experiments that exploit the label, have significantly impacted on the types of biochemical problems that can now be addressed by solution NMR spectroscopy. Here we describe how methyl labeling of key residues in a highly deuterated protein background has facilitated studies of the structure, dynamics and interactions of supra-molecular particles. The methyl-labeling approach is briefly reviewed, followed by a summary of...

Optimal methyl labeling for studies of supra-molecular systems
Abstract Selective methyl labeling combined with HMQC spectroscopy that exploits a TROSY effect in 13CH3 spin systems has significantly extended the utility of solution NMR spectroscopy in studies of high molecular weight particles. Herein we compare the utility of 13CH3- versus 13CHD2-labeling of Ile, Leu, Val probes in supra-molecular systems through quantification of relative signal-to-noise ratios in optimized spectra of highly deuterated, 13CH3- and 13CHD2-labeled samples of the half proteasome (α7α7, 360 kDa). It is shown that the sensitivity of spectra recorded on Ile, Leu, Val...
