Specific isotopic labeling of methyl groups in a perdeuterated protein background enables the detection of long range NOEs in proteins or high molecular weight complexes. We introduce here an approach, combining an optimized isotopic labeling scheme with a specifically tailored NMR pulse sequence, to distinguish between intramolecular and intermolecular NOE connectivities. In hetero-oligomeric complexes, this strategy enables sign encoding of intra-subunit and inter-subunit NOEs. For homo-oligomeric assemblies, our strategy allows the specific detection of intra-chain NOEs in high resolution 3D NOESY spectra. The general principles, possibilities and limitations of this approach are presented. Applications of this approach for the detection of intermolecular NOEs in a hetero-hexamer, and the assignment of methyl 1H and 13C resonances in a homo-tetrameric protein complex are shown.

Complete assignment of Ala, Ile, Leu, Met and Val methyl groups of human blood group A and B glycosyltransferases using lanthanide-induced pseudocontact shifts and methylâ??methyl NOESY
Abstract
Human blood group A and B glycosyltransferases (GTA, GTB) are highly homologous glycosyltransferases. A number of high-resolution crystal structures is available showing that these enzymes convert from an open conformation into a catalytically active closed conformation upon substrate binding. However, the mechanism of glycosyltransfer is still under debate,...

Simultaneous detection of intra- and inter-molecular paramagnetic relaxation enhancements in protein complexes
Simultaneous detection of intra- and inter-molecular paramagnetic relaxation enhancements in protein complexes
Abstract
Paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) measurements constitute a powerful approach for detecting both permanent and transient proteinâ??protein interactions. Typical PRE experiments require an intrinsic or engineered paramagnetic site on one of the two interacting partners; while a second, diamagnetic binding partner is labeled with stable isotopes (15N or 13C). Multiple paramagnetic labeled centers or reversed labeling schemes...

Alternative SAIL-Trp for robust aromatic signal assignment and determination of the Ï?2 conformation by intra-residue NOEs
Alternative SAIL-Trp for robust aromatic signal assignment and determination of the Ï?2 conformation by intra-residue NOEs
Abstract Tryptophan (Trp) residues are frequently found in the hydrophobic cores of proteins, and therefore, their side-chain conformations, especially the precise locations of the bulky indole rings, are critical for determining structures by NMR. However, when analyzing -proteins, the observation and assignment of the ring signals are often hampered by excessive overlaps and tight spin couplings. These difficulties have been greatly alleviated by using...

Automated sequence- and stereo-specific assignment of methyl-labeled proteins by paramagnetic relaxation and methylâ??methyl nuclear overhauser enhancement spectroscopy
Automated sequence- and stereo-specific assignment of methyl-labeled proteins by paramagnetic relaxation and methylâ??methyl nuclear overhauser enhancement spectroscopy
Abstract Methyl-transverse relaxation optimized spectroscopy is rapidly becoming the preferred NMR technique for probing structure and dynamics of very large proteins up to ~1 MDa in molecular size. Data interpretation, however, necessitates assignment of methyl groups which still presents a very challenging and time-consuming process. Here we demonstrate that, in combination with a known 3D structure, paramagnetic...
