This unit describes critical components and considerations required to study protein-protein structural interactions inside a living cell by using NMR spectroscopy (STINT-NMR). STINT-NMR entails sequentially expressing two (or more) proteins within a single bacterial cell in a time-controlled manner and monitoring their interactions using in-cell NMR spectroscopy. The resulting spectra provide a complete titration of the interaction and define structural details of the interacting surfaces at the level of single amino acid residues. The advantages and limitations of STINT-NMR are discussed, along with the differences between studying macromolecular interactions in vitro and in vivo (in-cell). Also described are considerations in the design of STINT-NMR experiments, focusing on selecting appropriate overexpression plasmid vectors, sample requirements and instrumentation, and the analysis of STINT-NMR data, with specific examples drawn from published works. Applications of STINT-NMR, including an in-cell methodology to post-translationally modify interactor proteins and an in-cell NMR assay for screening small molecule interactor libraries (SMILI-NMR) are presented.

Abstract
Biology relies on functional interplay of proteins in the crowded and heterogeneous environment inside cells, and functional protein interactions are often weak and transient. Thus, methods are needed that preserve these interactions...

Abstract
Specific interactions between proteins are a fundamental process underlying the various biological events, such as cell-cell contacts, signal transduction, and gene expression. Therefore, the structural investigations of protein-protein interactions provide useful information for understanding these events. We describe an NMR method, termed the cross-saturation...

NMR spectroscopy is emerging as a powerful tool in molecular biology and biotechnology; one aspect of which is the use of one- and two-dimensional NMR methodologies to investigate the interactions of proteins with DNA. The dynamic and structural information which NMR can provide, on the changes in conformation and molecular flexibility, complements X-ray crystallography data and...

We describe a high-throughput in-cell nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based method for mapping the structural changes that accompany protein-protein interactions (STINT-NMR). The method entails sequentially expressing two (or more) proteins within a single bacterial cell in a time-controlled manner and monitoring the protein interactions using in-cell NMR spectroscopy. The resulting spectra provide a complete titration of the interaction and define...
