Abstract
Large membrane proteins such as G Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) are difficult for NMR study due to severe signal overlaps and unfavorable relaxation properties. We used a trimethylsilyl (TMS) group as a reporter group for 1 H NMR study of conformational changes in proteins, utilizing high-intensity 1 H NMR signals near 0 ppm. The ?2 -Adrenergic Receptor (?2 AR) was labeled with TMS groups at two cysteines located at the cytoplasmic ends of helices VI and VII. Binding of various ligands led to changes in 1 H NMR signals, which manifested that helix VI is sensitive to G protein-specific activation, whereas helix VII is sensitive to ?-arrestin-specific activation. Thus, the TMS group is a useful reporter group in NMR for studying conformational changes in membrane proteins such as GPCRs. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Universality of Sodium Ion Binding Mechanism in Class A G-Protein-Coupled Receptors
The allosteric modulation of GPCRs by sodium (Na+) ions has drawn significant attention due to the availability of crystal structures of several receptors showing Na+ ions bound to the inactive conformations at the conserved Asp2.50. To date, structures from 24 families of GPCRs have been determined, though mechanistic insights into Na+ binding to the allosteric site are limited. We performed 100's of ?s long simulations of 15 GPCRs and elucidated their Na+ binding mechanism. In class A GPCRs, Na+ ion...

Abstract
The amino acids 4-(tert-butyl)phenylalanine (Tbf) and 4-(trimethylsilyl)phenylalanine (TMSf), as well as a partially deuterated version of Tbf (dTbf), were chemically synthesized and site-specifically incorporated into different proteins, using an amber stop codon, suppressor tRNA and the broadband aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase originally evolved for the incorporation of p-cyano-phenylalanine. The 1H-NMR signals of...
