A method to synthesise region-labelled proteins for structural studies with NMR is suggested. The technique is based on in vitro translation of matrix-coupled mRNAs. Translation starts with unlabelled amino acids from the initiation codon of the mRNA and continues to the beginning of the region of interest. Here, the ribosomes pause while the tRNAs charged with unlabelled amino acids are replaced with tRNAs charged with isotope-labelled amino acids. Translation then proceeds through the region of interest until the ribosomes pause at its end. At this point aminoacyl-tRNAs are changed again. Translation is resumed with unlabelled amino acids and continues to the STOP codon of the mRNA, where the ribosomes pause. In the final step the complete, region-labelled protein is eluted from the column in almost pure form. The method is demonstrated for small scale synthesis of the DNA binding domain (DBD) of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), where the DNA-recognising helix is labelled but the rest of DBD is unlabelled. The new technique can be generalised to allow a desired region in a protein to be isotope-labelled.

Modern cell-free in vitro protein synthesis systems present powerful tools for the synthesis of isotope-labeled proteins in high yields. The production of selectively 15 N-labeled proteins from 15 N-labeled amino acids is particularly economic and yields are often sufficient to analyze the proteins very quickly by two-dimensional NMR...

The power of heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy to study macromolecules and their complexes has been amply demonstrated over the last decade. The obstacle to routinely applying these techniques to the study of DNA has been the synthesis of 13C,15N-labeled DNA. Here we present a simple and efficient method to generate...

Abstract:
Cell-free protein synthesis protocols for uniformly deuterated proteins typically yield low, non-uniform deuteration levels. This paper introduces an E. coli cell-extract, D-S30, which enables efficient production of proteins with high deuteration levels for all non-labile hydrogen atom positions. Potential applications of the new protocol may include production of proteins...
