A procedure is presented for automated sequence-specific assignment of NMR resonances of uniformly [13C, 15N]-labeled RNA. The method is based on a suite of four through-bond and two through-space high-dimensional automated projection spectroscopy (APSY) experiments. The approach is exemplified with a 0.3Â*mM sample of an RNA stem-loop with 48 nucleotides, K10, which is responsible for dynein-mediated localization of Drosophilafs(1)K10 mRNA transcripts. The automated analysis of the APSY data led to highly accurate and precise 3- to 4-dimensional peak lists. They provided a reliable basis for the subsequent sequence-specific resonance assignment with the algorithm FLYA and resulted in the fully automated resonance assignment of more than 80Â*% of the resonances of the 13Câ??1H moieties at the 1â?², 2â?², 5, 6, and 8 positions in the nucleotides. The procedure was robust with respect to numerous impurity peaks, low concentration of this for NMR comparably large RNA, and structural features such as a loop, single-nucleotide bulges and a non-Watsonâ??Crick wobble base pairs. Currently, there is no precise chemical shift statistics (as used by FLYA) for RNA regions which deviate from the regular A-form helical structure. Reliable and precise peak lists are thus required for automated sequence-specific assignment, as provided by APSY.

A novel strategy for NMR resonance assignment and protein structure determination
Abstract The quality of protein structures determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is contingent on the number and quality of experimentally-derived resonance assignments, distance and angular restraints. Two key features of protein NMR data have posed challenges for the routine and automated structure determination of small to medium sized proteins; (1) spectral resolution â?? especially of crowded nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) spectra, and (2) the reliance on a...
