A thermosensitive gel matrix for bioreactor-assisted in-cell NMR of nucleic acids and proteins
Sep 10, 2023 - 2:39 AM - by nmrlearner
nmrlearner's Avatar A thermosensitive gel matrix for bioreactor-assisted in-cell NMR of nucleic acids and proteins

Abstract

Introducing the flow through the bioreactor has revolutionized in-cell NMR spectroscopy by prolonging the measurement time available to acquire spectral information about biomacromolecules in metabolically active cells. Bioreactor technology relies on immobilizer matrices, which secure cells in the active volume of the NMR coil and enable uniform perfusion of the growth medium, supplying fresh nutrients to the cells while removing toxic byproducts of their metabolism. The main drawbacks of commonly used matrices include the inability to recover intact cells post-measurement for additional analyses and/or requirements for specific operating temperatures. Here, we report on the development and characterization of a set of thermosensitive and nontoxic triblock copolymers based on poly(D,L-lactide)-b-poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(D,L-lactide) (PLA-PEG-PLA). Here, we show for the first time that these copolymers are suitable as immobilizer matrices for the acquisition of in-cell NMR spectra of nucleic acids and proteins over a commonly used sample temperature range of 15â??40Â*°C and, importantly, allow recovery of cells after completion of in-cell NMR spectra acquisition. We compared the performances of currently used matrices in terms of cell viability (dye exclusion assays), cellular metabolism (1D 31P NMR), and quality of in-cell NMR spectra of two model biomacromolecules (hybrid double-stranded/i-motif DNA and ubiquitin). Our results demonstrate the suitability and advantages of PLA-PEG-PLA copolymers for application in bioreactor-assisted in-cell NMR.

[NMR paper] Methods for Structure Determination of SH2 Domain-Phosphopeptide Complexes by NMR
Sep 06, 2023 - 1:37 AM - by nmrlearner
nmrlearner's Avatar Methods for Structure Determination of SH2 Domain-Phosphopeptide Complexes by NMR

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique to solve the structure of biomolecular complexes at atomic resolution in solution. Small proteins such as Src-homology 2 (SH2) domains have fast tumbling rates and long-lived NMR signals, making them particularly suited to be studied by standard NMR methods. SH2 domains are modular proteins whose function is the recognition of sequences containing phosphotyrosines. In this chapter, we describe the application of NMR to assess...

[NMR paper] NMR assignment and dynamics of the dimeric form of soluble C-terminal domain major ampullate spidroin 2 from Latrodectus hesperus

nmrlearner's Avatar NMR assignment and dynamics of the dimeric form of soluble C-terminal domain major ampullate spidroin 2 from Latrodectus hesperus

Spider dragline silk has attracted great interest due to its outstanding mechanical properties, which exceed those of man-made synthetic materials. Dragline silk, which is composed of at least major ampullate spider silk protein 1 and 2 (MaSp1 and MaSp2), contains a long repetitive domain flanked by N-terminal and C-terminal domains (NTD and CTD). Despite the small size of the CTD, this domain plays a crucial role as a molecular switch that regulates and directs spider silk self-assembly. In...
