[NMR paper] Local deuteration enables NMR observation of methyl groups in proteins from eukaryotic and cell-free expression systems
Local deuteration enables NMR observation of methyl groups in proteins from eukaryotic and cell-free expression systems
Therapeutically relevant proteins such as GPCRs, antibodies and kinases face clear limitations in NMR studies due to the challenges in site-specific isotope labeling and deuteration in eukaryotic expression systems. Here we describe an efficient and simple method to observe the methyl groups of leucine residues in proteins expressed in bacterial, eukaryotic or cell-free expression systems without modification of the expression protocol. The method relies on simple...

Deuteration and selective labeling of alanine methyl groups of β 2 -adrenergic receptor expressed in a baculovirus-insect cell expression system
Deuteration and selective labeling of alanine methyl groups of β 2 -adrenergic receptor expressed in a baculovirus-insect cell expression system
Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) exist in equilibrium between multiple conformations, and their populations and exchange rates determine their functions. However, analyses of the conformational dynamics of GPCRs in lipid bilayers are still challenging, because methods for observations of NMR signals of large proteins expressed in a baculovirus-insect cell expression system (BVES) are limited....

Stable isotope labeling approaches for NMR characterization of glycoproteins using eukaryotic expression systems
Stable isotope labeling approaches for NMR characterization of glycoproteins using eukaryotic expression systems
Abstract
Glycoproteins are characterized by the heterogeneous and dynamic nature of their glycan moieties, which hamper crystallographic analysis. NMR spectroscopy provides potential advantages in dealing with such complicated systems, given that the target molecules can be isotopically labeled. Methods of metabolic isotope labeling in recombinant glycoproteins have been developed recently using a variety of eukaryotic production vehicles,...

Studying protein components of large intracellular complexes by in-cell NMR has so far been impossible because the backbone resonances are unobservable due to their slow tumbling rates. We describe a methodology that overcomes...
